What makes you think this board is getting more schizophrenic and psychotic?

>>9105346
You have no idea what you're talking about. Most of the schizophrenic go to /x/, and a lot of people with Schizophrenia have below average IQ

Schizophrenics go to /x/
Retarded but Muscular Chads go to /fit/
Other 4 Chan boards are autistic.
/sci/ is for Autistics with higher IQ.
/g/ is for autistic hackers & code monkeys. Autistic IT support.
/pol/ is Weaponized autism.
/a/ & /v/ are autistic entertainment.
/r9k/ is severe autism.

If you have a box with a relativistic non interacting gas in it, the average kinetic energy of the particles will be higher than the one of the same system but with non relativistic particles. So the temperature would be higher too (kT = Ekin, with k being the boltzmann constant). It doesn't make sense to decouple speed and T.

If you're thinking of the thermodynamics of liquids and solids, it instead doesn't make sense to speak about relativistic speeds.

>>9105168
>However since the mass is increasing, their speed has to decrease
>Thus as the entire system approaches light speed

see the problem?

>>9105308
I do not. Could you elaborate? Or maybe I can:
By increasing mass I mean both the mass of the particles as well as the system, the first speed is regarding the particles and the second regarding the system.
As the speed of the system approaches the speed of light, the mass of the particles approaches infinity. Since there is no energy added to the particles themselves their momentum should stay the same, which means their speed has to drop.

>>9105242
Correct me if Im wrong but temperature is not absolute speed, but only speed of particles relative to each other.
If you look at a single particle, its momentum (relative to other particles around it) should be constant during acceleration, while the mass increases due to relativistic effects. This can only mean that the speed of the particle has to decrease, which since it happens to all the gas particles, means that the temperature drops.

but dude he has wacky hair :D

It's used in GPS.

Have you heard about GPS?

Have you read Riemann's paper about it and learned all of the material needed to understand his arguments/constructions?

>>9104671
I haven't. Where are Riemann's papers and what are the materials needed to understand it?

>>9104619
As you know, the world we see is a simulation of sorts and the RH is a key piece of information needed to crack it. Thus measures are in place to make sure no one solves it.

For all problems, if an algorithm can verify an answer, can an algorithm find a solution?

prove all nontrivial zeros of the analytical continuation of the Riemann zeta function have a real part of 0.5

Does a set of all sets contain itself?

>our language
We have like 10000 languages, and doing philosophy in like... well, at least two of them.

Neither of those

Given Wittgenstein's Anti_Platonist critique of mathematics ( see his Math-Philosophy in his Philosophical Grammar ) you'll see how the second part of your question is made redundant by a proper understanding of the first question - which is in my opinion, absolutely correct. I speak as an oxford educated ( DPhil) philosopher. You will find widespread dislike for this view from academics keen to maintain academic philosophy's status - and keep their departments (and jobs ) alive. Cheers.

Maybe... Because we dont have to adapt to the enviroment, it adapts to us in some ways. There ir nothing to escape from that kills "non adapted" humans

>>9104154
I'm guessing that any future form of adaptation will come from selective breeding pressures. Probably (hopefully) to create smarter and smarter generations of humans

>>9104154
im guessing your talking biological evolve in which cause no, evolution happens only to adopt in a environment and humanity doesn't need to evolve anymore however it is now us who has to evolve ourselves.

>how do you explain this?
You had a seizure. It didn't make you autistic. It gave you seizures. You're the reason we have to make sure other people take the vaccine. Herd immunity protects idiots like you.

>>9104010
You didnt read the rest of the post did you?

>>9103949

Anecdotes != facts

Correlation != causation

These "autism-specialists" are lying to you for your mother's money.

Science doesn't have to explain every fuckin person's anecdotes. Your parents probably knew jack shit about chemistry or the actual composition of vaccines, let alone "autistic behavior." What the fuck would even constitute such symptoms in an infant, considering symptoms don't show until later in development?

Thousands of people believe they're going to heaven to receive 72 virgins for jihad. That doesn't make them right.

There are tons of crank "doctors" and "specialists" who will prey on a parent's love for their child to make some money off them.

TL;DR You had a slight adverse reaction and it went away normally. You don't "become" autistic and you don't "cure" autism.

>>9103198

Off to /tg/ with you.

:(

Actually you're probably right. Sounds more fitting. Thank you for reminding me. Then again considering the level of shitposting here, I'll leave this up in case someone wants to take a stab at it.

I actually studied this a little bit in my epistemology class. It's super strange. They report things like when they're trying to pick out an outfit and can't decide, one arm will just surprise them by grabbing something. The different sides of the brain can't communicate and I think our verbal thinking (the sort of inner monologue) is from one side so it isn't aware of stuff the other side deals with.

Just checked. Wernicke's area and Broca's area are both on the left side of the brain and those are our main speech areas.

It is sort of similar to two consciousnesses coexisting in the same body but I'm disinclined to call it that, as consciousness is pretty vague a concept. Plus, I think it's more like you're just not aware of what you're thinking.

Although first off, this thread is degenerate and you should feel degenerate, the answer would be yes. Promoting this fetish and allowing its expression to be public ally acceptable would increase the popularity of it and this the use of it. Mind the effects might not be noticeable if practically applied, but yeah it could be done.

There is evidence of this being done throughout history, although not in the radical case you're referring to. This can be observed through race-mixing, homosexuality, and transgenderism in Western First World countries. Mind those aren't fetishes, but taking the same civil rights steps they took and demanding the legislation to allow them to become possible and promoted would make this fetishism you're describing perform much like those movements.
This is also a bad thing however, as recent pedophile movements understand this and have been trying to become more acceptable within relevant recency.
>tl;dr: The answer is yes, there are historical examples, although I don't know the exact process of how it would be done or the affects it would cause.

Obvious troll, but if there is an inkling of a thought that there is any truth to your statement you should fucking kill yourself.

One sex not being burdened by pregnancy is pretty advantageous, they can protect those who are pregnant.

Life is a contest between making artificial semen and making artifical eggs and womb

Whatever side win gets too enslave the other.

Luckly for men we just made lab wombs.

>Do you think it's worth studying these subjects
yes, its a skill that you can apply to a shitload of areas.

> for their own sake, as a hobby?
no. the value from them comes from the fact that it will sharpen your mind and give you tools to succeed in your job.

>>9100534
Yes I have been studying physics and machine learning on my own. I've made good progress. Currently doing 3rd year physics.

The main frustration is not having someone to ask questions when I get stuck. To some extent I mitigate this by getting 6-8 texts on each subject and looking at the other books when I get stuckl.

One benefit is I only have to learn what I'm interested in. E.g. when I did abstract algebra I basically skipped Rings and Ideals because not relevent to physics (at least, for now).

I've never seen such a flawless argument. It is funny because I actually like the author but without context he seems like an asshole by writing this "proof".

>>9105404
"The proof is trivial". Oh, I lost count how many times I've seen that line without understanding the proof in question.

Hey, is the Landau-Lifshitz series any good?

I'm a EE freshmen and I'd like to have a better understanding of physics in general if I ever want to do a PhD or something.
Or is there an alternative like chicago math.
