It's one way to display an unending repeating string. Also no. You will never reach your dream. It is mathematically impossible. Don't try using a glitch in our current system to justify it.

You familiar with the idea of carbon fixing? If we can build a massive enough system of apparatuses that somehow turn CO2 into a solid organic molecule without the extra stuff needed in plant-based carbon fixation we could drastically reduce atmospheric CO2.

>>8795847
I am but it seems a bit far fetched to pin our hopes on organisms sucking carbon out of the atmosphere when we're in the middle of a great extinction event. The algae that use the carbon are dying out, not propagating, huge problem if your strategy to lower CO2 levels hinges on them.

>>8795851
Methane release is the biggest problem I think. But to solve the increased CO2 levels which are causing methane sinks to release methane we need a way to artificially fix CO2 into a organic form on a mass scale.

What does it look like to be standing in 3D hyperbolic space? Is it just like normal space, except groups spread out faster as you approach them, and come together quicker as you move away from them?

>Is Homotopy Type Theory a meme?
Yes.

>What role will it play (if any) in the future of mathematics?
In mathematics, almost none. People like Lurie opposed it from the start.
But it will gather interest in European type computer science and hopefully push related functional languages.

Anyway, remember that in general relativity, gravitational force is explained by spacetime curvature and that's what shrinking metric distance feels like.
Say you float in empty space far away from any other masses exect a guy 10 meters next to you. Then you both throw away you pants in the same direction, giving you both a parallel impulse in the same direction (exactly negative to where the pants are now moving). You'll move in what seems to be parallel for the longest time, but since you and the guy both have masses, spacetime curves so that the metric distance between you slowly shrinks until you touch each others. That's how gravitational pull is implemented geometrically.
So yes, on the negative curvature plane, you fall or roll towards other things, unless you exert force. Unless you exert force, you'll find you can't stay parallel (at equal distance)

Yes, that's exactly what they are.

So if I had a planet in orbit around a black hole at radius X from the center and I placed a solar array with wireless transmission at 10X could I generate a larger amount of power per unit of time on the planet than if they were both at position 10X?

Correlation does not imply causation.

Social skills can be developed with practice like any other skill, they just spend more time doing their thing than socializing or doing the romantic thing. Although autistic people can me the exeption.

What you're thinking of are artificial neural networks, it exists

Consciousness arises from unexplained quantum effects which we can't attempt to simulate unless P=NP or we create a generalized quantum computer large enough.

>>8801151
Because the properties of consciousness are emergent and are not reducible to physics. Reductionism is the pipe dream of physicists. Until we have good models for the interactions of neurons, we cannot hope to simulate a brain.

Well say that they are eaqual in mass.
Ice sun is 0c +- 5c
Lava sun is 5000c +- 5c

And temp is 2500c +- 10c

The result would be lots of steam, and a slightly cooler lava sun.
