Ciro Santilli's answer to How credible is Nick Lucid, of YouTube's "The Science Asylum"? on Quora.

This is not a truly "fundamental" constant of nature like say the speed of light or the Planck constant.

Rather, it is just a definition of our Kelvin temperature scale, linking average microscopic energy to our macroscopic temperature scale.

The way to think about that link is, at 1 Kelvin, each particle has average energy:per degree of freedom.

This is why the units of the Boltzmann constant are Joules per Kelvin.

For an ideal monatomic gas, say helium, there are 3 degrees of freedom. so each helium atom has average energy:

If we have 2 atoms at 1 K, they will have average energy $6/2k_{B}J$, and so on.

Another conclusion is that this defines temperature as being proportional to the total energy. E.g. if we had 1 helium atom at 2 K then we would have about $6/2k_{B}J$ energy, 3 K $9/2k_{B}J$ and so on.

This energy is of course just an average: some particles have more, and others less, following the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution.

Of course, if academic journals require greater reproducibility for publication, then the cost per paper increases.

However, the total cost has to be smaller than the cost everyone who reads the paper spends to reproduce, no?

The truth is, part of the replication crisis is also due to research groups not wanting to share their precious secrets with others, so they can keep ahead of the publication curve, or maybe spin off a startup.

And when it comes to papers, things are even crazier: big companies manage to publish white papers in peer reviewed journals.

Ciro Santilli wants to help in this area with his videos of all key physics experiments project idea.

Cool initiative. Papers that do not share source code should be banned from peer reviewed academic journals.

Written in R, but also relies on pandoc, so quite bad dependency wise.

Cross files references to IDs: yes. But no check by default for duplicates when doing automatic ID from title. Just automatically disambiguates with -1, -2 suffixes, and links take the last one available.

Source page splitting: splits at h2 by default. If configurable, likely always af fixed level?

Has some nice image generation from inline code from standard R plotting functions.

The installatoin Rscript -e 'bookdown::render_book("index.Rmd")' takes several minutes, it compiles a bunch of stuff from source apparently. but it did work.

The daily ordinary physical world or daily experience, pain, desire and the cycle of endless reincarnation. As opposed to the more elevated goals of spiritual enlightenment and breaking the wheel.

The Portuguese term for it is "música popular brasileira". The widely recognized Brazilian acronym is "MPB".

"Brazilian pop" and "Br-pop" are inventions by Ciro Santilli, which are how Ciro thinks Brazil should market it to the world.

Unfortunately "B-pop" is too ambiguous with British pop music, and should be avoided.
