This shit looks intimidating as hell. It's been almost 10 years since I've taken anything math related am I going to make it? This stuff looks really confusing I hope it's not too much to handle with a full course load and work.

its delusion and deluding and it's actually an interesting question when you consider people have different beliefs. why? why doesnt everyone see things the same way when evolution should clearly select for some sort of ideal personality.
why arent all the people i hate dead before there parents were even born?

>If consciousness is an illusion who is it illuding?
Consciousness is an illusion, therefore it cannot "illude" anyone. For example, consider a picture that contains an optical illusion. It is the picture that "illudes" you; the optical illusion itself is just the result of that.

so what is illuding who to create the illusion of consciousness

It's 2AM, I'm sitting here on my phone without power thanks to Irma, and I've never browsed /sci/ before. Something just popped into my head though and I wanna share it.
Is it logical to say that our bodies are within multiple (going as far as infinite) points in time at once?
Think about it, our different time zones are massive, but if you apply logic there are infinite numbers between zero and one and therefore the time zones can be broken down into infinitely small sizes. If I lay on my bed it could be 3:45:999999999999 at my head and 3.45:999999999998 at my feet. So how is it that we are simultaneously in two times at once?

Nigga did you just confuse arbitrary timezones with "real" time differences?
Go to sleep nigga, time zones from the prime meridian are arbitrary and do not exist

Fundamentally it's harder, though you are correct they mostly draw in idiots--social sciences have not managed to produce any results with predictive value or any worth.

I have a scenario for you, /sci/
The challenge is to get to a predetermined wikipedia page, by pressing only the random article button. In this scenario, you won't get repeat articles until you get through every single one on the site. With every article you reach, a program will check if it's the one you're looking for.
Now, you have two choices -
>Brute force single clicks, you get a check every page
>Double clicks, meaning you go through two pages at a time. HOWEVER, only every other one counts for a check, meaning you can skip over the page you're looking for and will have to go all the way back through every wikipedia article before you get another chance to see it
Which option do you go with?

It seems like it wouldn't make a difference, it's just the same as having the articles in a different order, but it's random anyway
>>
>>9161833
But with the second option, you'd need to account for the possibility of skipping the target, because it would drastically increase the time it takes to get there.
There are roughly 5.5 million pages on wikipedia, so getting through 2 at once isn't insignificant.

i believe that the light will not project in front of you because you are already going at the speed of light. my co wroker argues otherwise
Can someone please explain to me how magnets work?
Like literally how photons impart force on objects if they're mass less.. and what are virtual photons and what do they look like?
If they don't pop in and out of existence how are they "traded?"

An arrange of small loops of current inside the material. They're called magnetic dipoles.

>>9161517
Yeah but how do they interact with something not touching it? Supposedly photons are the force carrier but they're mass less and a magnet does not emit radiation..

It shouldn't surprise you. The same with gravity and the other forces.

Every system of knowledge requires a fundamental set of beliefs which can't be proven from the system itself. Though, these retards act as if science isn't nothing special.

[math]\langle\phi | \phi\rangle \geq 0[/math]
is always true, trivially, regardless of the definition of phi, it's a fundamental property of the inner product, even sesquilinear inner products on complex vector spaces obey it. Am I misreading what he is trying to prove?

1. Any contingent fact about the world must have an explanation.
2. It is a contingent fact that there are contingent things.
3. The fact that there are contingent things must have an explanation. (1,2)
4. The fact that there are contingent things can’t be explained by any contingent things.
5. The fact that there are contingent things must be explained by something whose existence is not contingent. (3,4)
C. There is a necessary being. (5)

With all the people that believe in a Flat Earth and the scientifically accepted statement that the Earth is a sphere, has anyone ever stopped to think that the Earth is a cylinder?
This would make sense as to how people are able to travel around the world by continually going East or West, but have you ever seen anyone do it going North/South? I know I sure haven't.

Earth is a hyperboloid, retard. It's the only manifold topology that adequately explains why it's so hot at the equator (hint... it's closer to the core).

Hello guys, I'm in the process of improving on some of my skills and I think mathematics is a valuable one. What's a good way to improve on it? Are there some good books I can read or do? Any tips on how to look at mathematics differently? Thanks
