If pi contained every possible combination of numbers, that would include a sequence of never ending .9s taking up all of the space that adds up to 1

Pi != 1

There are infinitely many numbers between 0 and 1. None of those numbers are 2.

i learned all the material for free using libgen and homework posted on course websites instead of paying thousands of dollars to the (((institution)))

There already is a mental masturbation subject for my free time - philosophy. Don't need to waste a degree studying another.

I was busy getting a degree in molecular biology.

This should be the shape. No hooks/ladders

It means the act of knowing. Many people misinterpret the results of the double slit experiment and think that it's the interaction of the electron and the detector that makes it behave as a particle. This isn't actually true though because we see an interference pattern form when the detector is active but without a connection to record the data. Meaning it's the act of collecting data that informs the observer of which slit the electron went through that alters the result of the experiment, not the detector. This can also be seen in the Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser Experiment, where photons don't interact with anything at all and yet still change their behavior retroactively based on whether we obtain data on which slit they went through.

In short it is NOT interaction, it is knowledge which causes the waveform to collapse.

The wave function of an atom is described as a probability function for its position/rotation. So we measure or "observe" the problems that occur when a quantum object loses its probabilistic nature and turns into a classical object.

This is my limited understanding, I have only recently started delving into these processes

>>8762673
Depends on interpretation, but here's one way of thinking about it:

There's a process called 'decoherence', where interactions of a quantum state with the outside world cause the 'quantumness' to sort of 'leak out' (handwaves frantically) into the wider universe, causing the states to stop interfering with each other and start acting like regular classical probabilities. (This isn't an interpretation thing - you can get decoherence straight from the equations).

This process actually looks a lot like the concept of 'collapse' of a quantum state, and in some interpretation this in fact replaces any concept of collapse entirely - the quantum state simply turns into one entangled with the whole universe, and because it's decohered then to anybody in one of the states the other states seem to have completely vanished.

And, well, you're a big warm messy system leaking information all over the place into the outside world, so anything that causes you to become aware of the state of a quantum system necessarily decoheres it, because that quantum state gets entangled with your macroscopic state and 'poof', out it goes.

----

Another, more practical, way of thinking about it is just that 'observation' is whatever goes on that causes fuzzy quantum states to get nailed down to specific, defined states whenever you actually try to actually detect particular details about them.

So is 3
3 is such bullshit I don't get why """"mathematicians"""" take it seriously at all.
Fuck 3

>>8762609
Sounds like a bullshit claim, if true all it would mean is there is little to no kinetic energy transfer between photons and the atomic structure of this substance.

>>8762609
Look up the class of materials called "aerogels"

Minimal heat transfer due to science

Aerogels would be a Pretty close but it wouldn't be it as star lite is more as a durable plastic which can absorb more heat

C is extremely broad and if you don't know the fundamentals of coding then you will be in over your head. Start small - like baby-steps with something like java. C is a monster to take on starting out.

Hacking is about thinking your way through things more than anything else.

>>8762170
you are not as retarded as OP, but you are wrong about muh c beign hard and languages mattering that much
this thread shouldn't be on here but on /g/

op is vile human garbage and he knows it

>>8762170
Fuck of retard. I bet you've never written a line of code besides Python.

you get what you pay for

The ruling class doesn't want workers who are smart enough to know how badly they're getting fucked. It's the same everywhere you go.

Yes but the "food" will be endocrine disruptors rendering you a shitty, bloody mess.

>>8761911
You can order food.
How else would you want to download it?

Invent a 3d printer that prints with dead fetuses, download the food you want and print it.

becuase the earth is flat you can clearly see in the picture

The universe is so big there is an alternate version of "You" somewhere in that direction

You've seen the CSI shows where they enhance a reflection on someone's watch and find the killer? Pretty similar actually. They pointed Hubble telescope at a planet covered in liquid and reconstructed this from the reflection.
