>You are standing in a field looking at the stars. Your arms are resting freely at your side, and you see that the distant stars are not moving. Now start spinning. The stars are whirling around you and your arms are pulled away from your body. Why should your arms be pulled away when the stars are whirling? Why should they be dangling freely when the stars don't move?
What did he mean by this?

Maybe I'm just retarded but I fail to see how the stars are relevant.
>Why should your arms be pulled away when the stars are whirling?
It is the spinning that creates the centrifugal force that "pulls" one's arms away, and the "whirling" appearance of the stars is just a byproduct of the rotating frame of reference. I just don't see why the relationship between the stars and the person spinning needs to be questioned?
Unless this is meant to be a thought experiment that pokes holes in the concept of causality, like Hume and other causality skeptics, but if that was the case I still don't understand the reasoning.
Thoughts?

The Carnot engine. Though it doesn't work very well in practice because of the isotherms.

The fact is that the sky is an artificial projection. We have gone to space. The images are not fake. Our governments are not aware of the Ringworld. However, it is the true structure of our world.
If we dig deep enough into the ground, we'll encounter the artificial vacuum of space, not a molten core, not China.
A species of ape was deposited here millions of years ago; over time, offshoots developed intelligence, agriculture, metallurgy, militaries, economies. This was expected by the aliens who put us here, who are still in contact with various groups on the ground, having gone into hiding on artificial constructs across the galaxy, like our Ringworld but in many cases larger (i.e. Dyson spheres, O'Neill cylinders, etc. to survive a holocaust being perpetrated by another faction of beings from beyond our habitat (we ourselves, being aliens, are also simply a faction of beings).

This might be basic, but I'm still having a hard time understanding it.
Say 100 pieces of pie has to be distibuted to 100 different plates and the way they are distributed are random. (n=100, r=100)
Then what is the chance of all the pie pieces to be distributed evenly? I know that there are 100^100 (n^r) different ways of them to be distributed total, but don't really know how to find a formula for them not to "collide"

Try your problems with 3 pieces of cake.

Alright. Let's say 3 pieces of cake has to be distributed on 10 plates then. There are 10^3 (1000) different ways that the pieces can be distributed.
I still don't know how to calculate the probability of then getting their own plate. I figured I have to divide with 1000, the total amount of combinations, but how?

When are you guys going to adress the issue that geoengineering is the sole reason for climate change and not carbon emission?
The only reason that the elite has been pushing climate change being caused by carbon is because of carbon taxes which you know is a trillion dollar market.
There's 400+ weather modification patents that you can easily just google, private corporations investing billions of dollars into technology that they have no interest in?...uhhhh... does that make sense? Keep in mind, weather affects all global financial markets, stocks, commodities, currencies, you name it.
Also, all NATO countries have signed weather modification treaties.
How could they possibly alter the weather? Quite easily desu haha, nano sized conductive metal particles sprayed in the upper atmosphere, then electroMAGNETIC frequencies to coerce it around, can pick up moisture, or cause droughts, both of which crank prices for things like food and water, who profits when that happens??

Because Computer Science is a subset of math.
If your university has CS classes taught by the math department then take them, those are good classes and they are mathematics.
Just look at those names. Algebra, Topology, Analysis, etc. That is a math degree!
But if you take CS classes taught by the Codemonkey Studies department then you will get 0/10 garbage.

Computability and complexity theory are really interesting and worthwhile branches of logic (in my opinion)
Analysis of algorithms slightly less so

The first two are merely definitions of a function. There is no nice closed form for inverting the Gamma function, but there are papers out there on how to compute/approximate the inverse.
The expression on the left hand side of the last line is equal to pi·csc(pi·x), where csc is the cosecant. If I'm not confused, it only takes values between 1/2 and 1, monotonically growing, and for all other values they are mere periodic repetitions of those. And At 1/2 it's pi, which is larger than \sqrt(3·\sqrt(3))/2, so there's no solution.
