No no I mean if.
Answer these 2 questions:
Why can an insecy fall so far and not be crush on impact?
Why can an ant lift so much?
And then I want the math quickies to compare those answers with what I think of, after I see them.
Cummon, why can my cat jump so far? Your not scared of the truth are you. That things have rules is a better fitting theory than universal laws. You do know your indoctrinated not to believe the truth don't you. Stand with me if you've seen unbelievable. You seriously don't believe my cat obays popular opinion amoungst the educated do you?

Redpill me on Russel's paradox.
Why can't I just conclude that R doesn't exist?
>>9134380
Well, that's the point of axiomatic set theory. In naive set theory if you can write a set then it exists. You can write R and therefore it exists. If you want R not to exist then you need to write an axiomatic system in which R cannot be written.
Well, obviously no set can contain itself as an element.
For example,
[math]R = \{R\} \rightarrow R = \{\{\{\{\{ \ldots[/math]
Naive set theory has
∀P. ∃X. X = {x|P(x)}
where "X = {x|P(x)}" is syntactic sugar for
∀x. (x ∈ X ⇔ P(x))
For P(x) := x ∈ x, you get a contradiction.

>obviously
Is that a "proof writing down half of a string"?
The claim follows from the wellfoundedness axiom and if you drop it, you get set theories that are just as valid
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-well-founded_set_theory
and those have been studied a lot too.
And even if we consider naive set theory, from a formal logic standpoint having Russels paradox still makes it a perfectly nice theory. However, when you can proof any statement in a theory, it renders it useless. But it doesn't render it "wrong" in any strong sense of the word..

I'm keeping my money on "planet condensing out of accretion disc, but this seems interesting. Not sure if I buy such a huge ring system, particualrly one that would be disrupted from time to time by the gravitational pull of the star, as mentioned in the article -- I think you'd lose ring material fast in that case.
But it would make for some glorious images, I guess.

>cant explain it
>call it ringed gas giant
>>9134141
That desperate pre-hypothesis fails even to explain the irregularities in the dimming. A ringed planet would still be somewhat regular.
And still, what planet can dim the star by 20 percent overnight? And do so over several days??
Fail.

wow, really makes you think...
I know this is bait but I feel like venting some autism.
Consider, for a minute, how modern monitors work. The image consists of a grid of pixels, commonly around 2 million of them, right? (1920 x 1080 = 2,073,600)
The standard color depth in HDMI is 24 bits, meaning that each pixel requires 24 bits of data to be transmitted per TMDS cycle (a clock signal that is transmitted on a separate wire in the HDMI cable).
We'll ignore overhead in the HDMI signal used to denote the end of each line and the end of each image. It's basically a sequence of "0"s that is transmitted after each line / image, respectively, and effectively increases the number of pixels to be transmitted. I forget the lengths of those intervals but we'll ignore them for now. Keep this in mind though.
Now, the number of processor cycles (assuming only one processor core is tasked with producing the image) that are available for each frame -- i.e. how many single-step operations the core can perform between two frames, including those necessary for producing the image, can be calculated:
[math]N_C = \frac{f_C}{f_F}[/math]
where [math]f_C[/math] is the processor's clock frequency and [math]f_F[/math] is the desired frame rate. For a 3 GHz clock and a frame rate of 60 FPS, we arrive at 50,000,000.
Now consider the fact that each frame consists of several million pixels. The number of operations per pixel is [math]\frac{5 \cdot 10^7}{2.073 \cdot 10^6} \approx 24[/math].
And now remember that
1) we ignored the effective image size which is larger than the nominal image size, and
2) these are single CPU instructions.
Now if we already have the video data in memory, there's no problem -- we could use DMA to read the pixel data from memory and send it on each CPU cycle. We'd have a little more than 20 cycles per pixel left for other stuff, the core would be at less than 5% load. We could (theoretically) increase the frame rate by a factor of 10 and still not run into any issues on the processor side.
The bottleneck in HDMI is the cable. For a full HD image (1920 x 1080) at 60 FPS with a color depth of 24 bits per pixel, your data rate is R = 2,985,984,000 bit/s.
Using the Shannon-Hartley theorem
[math]C \leq B \log_2 \left ( 1 + \frac{S}{N} \right )[/math]
and setting [math]C = R \approx 3\,\mathrm{Gbps}[/math] and [math]B = \frac{f_C}{2}[/math] (see Shannon-Nyquist theorem) we can calculate the S/N necessary for an error-free transmission if the processor is running at 100% load, using DMA, with no HDMI protocol overhead (N is the effective noise power in Watt, S is the signal power):
[math]\frac{S}{N} \geq 2^{R/B} - 1[/math]
[math]\frac{S}{N} \geq 2^{3 \cdot 10^9 \,\mathrm{bps} ~/~ 1.5 \cdot 10^9 \,\mathrm{Hz}} - 1[/math]
[math]\frac{S}{N} \geq 2^2 - 1 ~=~ 3[/math]
That's actually pretty surprising to me, I'd have expected a much higher value. As it is, pushing the processor core to its limits (100% load, DMA meaning it takes 1 instruction to load and output the pixel data) under perfect conditions (ignoring HDMI protocol overhead, guard periods and rise times, assuming perfect synchronicity and zero latency where necessary), we can tolerate noisy interference of up to 1/3rd the power as the signal's (roughly 1/10th the voltage). In other words, an SNR of only (approximately) 10 dB is necessary for this transmission. Should be do-able (and obviously is, as you can see by the fact that plenty of people use HDMI for full-HD 60 FPS displays).

Hey /sci/, do you think IQ matters or is it a meme?
>>9133698
Why ask "what do you think"? It's not a matter of opinion, the correlations are as strong as anything you're going to get in the social sciences.
>>9133711
What corrilations? It all depends on your interpritation of what matters faggot
Who gives a fuck.
Learn. Gain knowledge. Apply that knowledge.
Create. Envision. Grow with experience.
Can you do that? Good. Then what the fuck are you fussing over IQ for?
In terms of purity, what's more more pure, mathematics or philosophy?
Math.
Philosophy is bullshit for pseudo intellectual stoners.
>>9133539
A mixture of both.
Mathematics was created by humans and philosophy is humans pondering theit existence and the world around us.
>>9133539
Philosophy.
Math is a derivative of philosophy, and is therefore less pure in terms of sequential value.
How can I learn more about Dark matter? Is there any books about the subject?
>>9133355

No, you brainlet. It's called "dark matter" because it's dark. A dark purple, to be precise. Much darker than the OP's pic. It emits a frequency that only certain scientific microphones can detect.

Yes, statistically it's probably not going to ever explode in my lifetime and NASA is planning on finding a way to drill it so that it never explodes ever, but I just want to be able to understand these maps and figure out which one is correct
Are humans the epitome of evolution thus far?
>if not why not
>if so why so
>>9133264
It's just the beginning baby
We are not even close to the amount of time dinosaurs dominated earth.
>>9133264
Humans are a shit-tier example of evolution. We've barely properly evolved in thousands of years, now. Maybe within social systems and creations, but not biologically.
Generally, it's the smaller organisms that live in harsher conditions and have lots of offspring that might qualify for the 'epitome' of evolution, whatever that means. Do you mean the epitome of evolutionary principles?
