Readit NewsWhy does the proton not meet this criteria?
I see where my post above was unclear. For the theorem to apply to a 1+2n dimensional object, the vector field on the 2n dimensional surface of the object must be restricted to the surface - it must be tangent to the object everywhere.
The proton is fully 3-dimensional AFAICT so the vector field on the surface (if it has a surface, I'm not a physicist) can have non-tangent components, pointing inwards or outwards.

Looking at the article, the statement they display to blocked users could do with either a change in tone to be more legally formal or a change in tone to be more approachable to less-literate users - bullet points, multiple headings etc. Right now that message is the worst of both worlds and will get a very low conversion rate.
I've been away from this line of work for over a year, though. Does anybody here who has current experience in effective messaging, legal communication or marketing want to read the message Mindgeek put up and give their two cents on it for our entertainment?
They show the forces tangential to the surface of the proton, going around one way near the "surface" and the other way in the middle. However, the hairy ball theorem says there must be something like "poles" in this case.

I'm wondering if their proton map covers that, and if the "axis" corresponds to anything familiar.
It's not applicable. The theorem applies to the boundary of 1+2n dimensional balls - surface of an ordinary sphere, bulk of a 5-ball, 6-surface of a 7-ball, etc.
Giving the police expanded powers won't backfire the next time an authoritarian-adjacent party wins an election, will it? After all, look how well the enabling act turned out for the lawmakers who passed it.

Few people are asking why such a large proportion of the public are easily scammed, a status which is different to prior eras. The answer isn't education, fyi.

For others wondering about the term 'Hycean':
The OP authors tell us (p.1),
A new type of habitable exoplanet within the sub-Neptune regime was recently proposed by Madhusudhan et al. (2021), known as Hycean worlds.
Madhusudhan et al. 2021 [0] tell us (p.3),
... in this study we focus on planets that allow for large oceans with habitable conditions underneath H2 -rich atmospheres. We refer to such planets as "Hycean" worlds.
I guess 'hydrogen' + 'ocean' = 'hycean'. There might be other explanations in Madhusudhan but I'm not reading the entire 25 pages to find them.
The capitalization, used by both sources, is puzzling: is it named after a person or place? A sci-fi author, perhaps? Otherwise, it should be lowercase. Also, anyone inventing a word should be required to grace us with a pronunciation.
What is the point of peer review if they don't catch these issues? ;)

Unsure why it's capitalized in the article (it shouldn't be, consider terms like ice giant and sub-Jupiter or even the hycean planet Wikipedia page) but I'll point out that there's a pun there you've missed. High seas.
I know this is an unrelated tangent but does anybody have any links that talk about the one or more of the composition apps or applets for smartphones or feature phones from that time period? Symbian, early versions of iOS, J2ME, I'll happily take anything on offer.
