I wish Amy and Vincent were on our science panel here in Ontario, that said, they would probably both either go postal or leave in rage at the political influencing and lack of basic scientific awareness of our "experts"
The tesseract is also called an 8-cell, C8, octachoron, octahedroid, cubic prism and tetracube. It is the four-dimensional hypercube, or 4-cube as a member of the dimensional family of hypercubes or measure polytopes.
Thank you again for keeping us in the loop.We- your Cape Town contingent don't miss an episode. Love it that Amy does not suffer fools and shoots from the hip.What she says/ predicts usually turns out to be correct. We need more like her in life and science Its makes one feel much safer when someone dares to tell it as it is!!!
Think of JR podcasts as a curiosity springboard. They've sent me off on journeys of investigation and discovery on a range of topics including this channel. :) keep up the great work!! Thank you
So question about polio vaccination.. when it was rolled out were there some sorts of breakthrough until so many were vaccinated and the spread is stopped. Or was the vaccine neutralizing...
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word tesseract was first used in 1888 by Charles Howard Hinton in his book A New Era of Thought, from the Greek téssara (τέσσαρα 'four') and aktís (ἀκτίς 'ray'), referring to the four edges from each vertex to other vertices.
Hi Amy . I Love Twiv and your Q&A. I think you made the first bid. What if JR would counter bid a lower amount? Would you be up for negotiating? It might not be outside the realms possibility to make a deal? I'd like to think so anyway. I've watched dozens of JR episodes on a really wide range of subject. I think he's a good egg :)
Do we look at the vaccine dosing as a mistake or just an action that was trying to get ahold of disease during a pandemic and could change the dosing after the bulk of the pandemic is over.
I don't think I get email alerts about A&V like I do for all of the other TWiV shows. I know it happens live on a specific day and time but I'd at least like to know if it has happened at all so I can watch it whether or not I get to see it live or not. How can I get such alerts via email like I do for all other TWiV content? I signed up for emails on TWiV content alerts, but A&V does not have such an alert. Right?
Vincent, I am not a scientist but I love science. I have a question but I might not be using the proper terminology to express my thoughts. I have heard you say on. many occasions that we don’t know if vaccinated people shed infectious virus. My question is why is this not being researched. Thank you.
Ref: Infectious viral load in unvaccinated and vaccinated patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 WT, Delta and Omicron (preprint, 11 Jan 2022) This study provides strong evidence of significantly lower infectiousness and a faster clearance of infectious virus in vaccinated individuals.
Vaccinated people DO "shed infectious virus". They recently did "test tube experiments" to show that the vaccinated even shed LESS infectious virus than unvaccinated. HOWEVER, it does not really matter because the Danish study did what counts...measure *real life infections in household tranmission*. And for Omicron, it makes NO DIFFERENCE whether or not people are vaccinated or not. The infection rate is the same. Getting boosted reduces the chance like 10% compared to unvaccinated, but that small advantage prolly will disappear in 2 months. To give you an idea of how fast this virus changed to "escape immunity", vaccinated advantage with Delta was 30%. And in 2020, it was suspected the advantage was 90% against the first variants. Long story short...it takes very little virus to infect most people anyway so it matters not how many boosts you get...for infection prevention.
Are the delays - or the longer period of study - for EUA for vaccines for kids under 5 related more to efficacy than to safety? That is, am I correct in understanding that the COVID vaccines for kids under 5 have not been found to be any less safe than they were found to be for older populations, but it has just taken more time to find the optimal dose/strength, number of doses needed, and most efficient duration of time that there should be between doses - is that accurate?
Funny, I’m not so close-minded. I listen to TWIV and Joe Rogan and I still have my own brain 🙂👍 who would have thought you can listen to multiple podcasts interviews etc and just be a good listener. I think you should have Robert Malone on it would make for a good discussion and show the kids how it can be done respectfully.
@@EaterOfBaconSandwiches he had nutjob guests on before he made any money on it, he just likes getting high and chatting with nuts.

I really respect the program here and am thankful for what you have provided but why is it necessary to bash other shows especially if you haven't verified what was said.

🍄 plans for the first episode of TwIF might well hinge on a special guest lineup. Names like Chad Rogan and Post Malone have been tossed about but the show is about Mycology so maybe we need a heavy hitter in the field. We need the Neil Young of Fungus.
Re 6M spacing, something to always remember with that, is that were you to go for 6M spacing, you'd presumably spend 6M with the benefit of only one jab, which is risky. If you're talking about jab 1 followed by jab 2 a month later, then jab 3 6M after that, I guess it makes sense ... but then you´re into the argument about whether jab 3 is necessary for anyone under a certain age/healthy (one might add, ethical, considering how poorer countries cannot get jab 1). Another point, UK lifting absolutely every restriction is purely down to the UK PM trying to keep his job. He's decided a hopefully small number of people can die, for some small chance of him keeping his job.
I think we should make the vaccine available to 5-11 year olds before removing the restrictions. So many kids are catching Covid at school that vulnerable people are not seeing their grandchildren etc because they don't want to have their operations or other medical treatments postponed again due to catching Covid from them. Also it would be a tragedy if we failed to prevent kids from getting long covid that could ruin the rest of their lives.
Amy is not an unsung hero to the people that watch this stream.
You guys are our hero’s
Luv you all from Canada. Amy is almost always right, 6 months ahead time 👍
and both of them are impossibly cute.
I wish Amy and Vincent were on our science panel here in Ontario, that said, they would probably both either go postal or leave in rage at the political influencing and lack of basic scientific awareness of our "experts"
Vicente and his TWIV crew have been the best Covid information of the pandemic. Amy is superb information.
Amy is our science Oracle
You both are heroes lifting people’s spirit whenever we listen to your podcasts…Many thanks
I appreciate Amy's absolute honesty. Keep on , keepin' on. 💃

Or should I said sterilizing
Sorry guys was working today and was thinking I wonder what you guys are talking about, I hate missing the live chat.
Amy your sweater looks good .
In geometry, the tesseract is the four-dimensional analogue of the cube; the tesseract is to the cube as the cube is to the square.
If you were to see it move through our 3D space, It would look like a cube that was growing or shrinking.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word tesseract was first used in 1888 by Charles Howard Hinton in his book A New Era of Thought, from the Greek téssara (τέσσαρα 'four') and aktís (ἀκτίς 'ray'), referring to the four edges from each vertex to other vertices.
You can get in ear monitors that are specially moulded to your ear 👍🏻
Down to earth geniuses!!
I will follow you Amy!

Tesseract is a fictionaly cube thing that the Avengers fought over in that "Infinity War" movie...across space.
Not originally.
Love you too Vincent
I might not be the only one, but I posted about TWTV and Ask A&V on one of John Campbell’s videos!
I love Amy.
I follow you on Twitter because I want to know when you find something important enough to try and tell the world every way you can.

A tesseract is also known as a hypercube. A cube in four dimensions.

Vincent you should watch don’t look up on Netflix. It shows what happens to experts once they get famous and go on cable shows regularly

The word tesseract was later adopted for numerous other uses in popular culture, including as a plot device in works of science fiction.

I have serious doubts about my own existence but none about the existence of viruses!😅

There is also the risk of making a vaccine-resistant strain.
Ref: Covid-19 vaccination: What’s the evidence for extending the dosing interval?
Lifting it a month early may be political, but it was always intended to be fully lifted.
I think we should make the vaccine available to 5-11 year olds before removing the restrictions. So many kids are catching Covid at school that vulnerable people are not seeing their grandchildren etc because they don't want to have their operations or other medical treatments postponed again due to catching Covid from them.
Also it would be a tragedy if we failed to prevent kids from getting long covid that could ruin the rest of their lives.
