They get to have ID's and stuff. This is a legitimate question. Wouldn't we be able to cut down on a lot of the garbage posting if we had ID too?

I understand why Qst needs ID, for convenience of highlighting posts, but /Pol/ over /Sci/? Seems like both should be treated the same.

hey /sci/, /pol/ here

so we build a colony ship or a few and send them at sub-light speed to the trappist system, then once we've perfected ftl drives we send a few ships to the trappist system to establish a colony ahead of the sub-light colony ships (since they're much faster).

i think if during the sub-light ship design/build process you push the idea just right, you could motivate society to come together under a shared goal, even to get tons of people volunteering to risk their lives for such a journey. the sub-light ships are essentially an investment, the payoff being the highly advanced earthlings rolling out the red carpet when you arrive. and it's motivating to be a researcher to design the colony ship, and even more so the ftl drives, which could actually motivate kids to go into stem degrees for a purpose that isn't money.

there's a burning in my chest, and i know you feel it too. we've been sitting on our hands yelling at each other for decades now. with this one project, this singular goal, we could bring just about everyone into the fold. there's making the steel needed, designing the ship, charting the course, screening the astronauts, training to be the astronauts, making the food, genetically modifying plants... we're putting earth in a box so everyone can help, from commanding the project all the way down to folding bedsheets.

how feasible would this project be?

yeah, some aspects of analysis are arguably more complex than category theory. To put it in perspective, the Riemann hypothesis is technically analysis.

Whats the actual reach of a thing like the Fourier Transform?

If its able to separate into simple parts complex data, then can we synthesize human behavior and therefore make it predictable? or, at least do it with masses behavior?

>>8700920
You're making things too complicated. Fourier Transform simply means you can take any function and turn it into another function that is made up of nothing by sines and cosines. That's it. That's all it is. Of course any sine or cosine have a frequency to it, i.e. the thing in the parentheses. The Frequency domain is simply the range of all the different values in the sines and cosines.
You're being fooled by a pseudo intellectual to think it is anything beyond.

wat
>>
>>8700920
"then can we synthesize human behavior and therefore make it predictable?"

You're definitely looking too deeply into it. It's simply another tool used in analysis of data in which you can obtain insight from frequencies within.

This is extremely useful when dealing with things like modulated signals in communication systems, general electrical signals, audio, etc.

It can be used to analyze human behavior as long as you can gather enough information in which a fourier transform will give you insight on the frequency of the action.

How much of a meme is it, sci?

Apparently there's people at NASA 'working on it'. Could there actually be a team determining how it would work and if it's feasable? Or is it all bullshit?
