Dimensions in the context of fractals is defined as "pattern replication". That is not the same as what you're saying (extending dimensions in directions orthogonal to the previous dimensions).

>>8500884
you are naive. wait until you get to mouse picking and collision before you say 3d is just as easy as 2d.
and you are lucky the opengl guys already figured out projection matrices for us because that shit is fucking magic

>>8500988
I think fractal dimensions deserve a more in-depth analysis.
The fractal dimension does seem to justify the shape: a flat fractal will typically have between one and two dimensions, and 3D ones will typicall have between two and three.
There are 3D ones with less than two dimensions, but they seem to be very skinny; and if one thinks of dimensions as "how many directions you can move in" it makes sense that a skinny 3D fractal could have a dimensionality below 3.

And if fractal dimensions seem justified in their values, perhaps we don't have a proper way of understanding non-integer dimensions.

With calculating non-integer dimensions, it's based on the number of copies of an object needed for one a certain number of times the size, but I'd be interested in an answer to a question like "With a square-cube thing of 2.5 dimensions, how many copies would be needed to double the size and how would they be arranged"?

I got this result too. It is really weird to one number like that be equal to 1.

don't.

the school is over. no more pencils, no more books. start making shit instead of procrastinating in books and courses.

Maybe you missed the memo but I'm unemployed as of the moment. Really can't do anything when I'm not being hired so I need something to fill the gap

isn't 1+2+3+... just 1+(1+1)+(1+1+1)+...?

>>8502396
things are tricky when you assign a value to divergent series. normal associativity and commutativity don't apply frequently.

you would probably cover this in a 3rd or 4th course in analysis, after Real and Complex at the intro level.

The theory you get when you take global symmetries and make them local.

>>8502116
Imagine a cylinder of a uniform colour. If I twist the cylinder you can't tell unless we draw a line on the cylinder. Choosing a gauge is the same as drawing a particular line on the cylinder. Any line will do but it just defines what you mean as a neutral position

>>8501961
maybe you shouldnt take bong hits before thinking about math

>>8501961
anon this exists in the form of graphs
e.g. 4x = y

>>8501992
did you mean
>y=4x=x4
or
>y=4x x=4y

Sure if the earth got so fucking cold we would have to mutate our fur back just to live.

>Is it possible for us to evolve into hominids again?

No. Evolution does not go backwards. If environmental selective pressures make traits we once lost advantageous for successful propagation of species again, and they occur by random mutation and are selected for, those traits may again become dominant in the species. But it is not going backward, that's is not how evolution works.

>>8501959
No, we'd just wear more clothes.

>Carson's achievements include performing the first and only successful separation of Siamese twins joined at the back of the head, pioneering the first successful neurosurgical procedure on a fetus inside the womb, performing the first completely successful separation of type-2 vertical craniopagus twins, developing new methods to treat brain-stem tumors and reviving hemispherectomy techniques for controlling seizures.[3][4][5][6][7] Carson became the youngest chief of pediatric neurosurgery in the country at age 33.[8] He has received more than 60 honorary doctorate degrees, dozens of national merit citations, and written over 100 neurosurgical publications.[9] In 2008, he was bestowed the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States.[10]

Guess what?
>What?

Firstly, the cake only has an finite amount of matter, so no, you cannot 'cut it indefinitely'.

Secondly, humans only have a finite lifespan of amount eighty years. So, even IF you could cut the cut an infinite amount of times, YOU could only cut it a finite amount of times in those years leading up until your death.

Thirdly, you don't need to worry, because it is impossible and therefore, your thread is nothing more than a moot point.

Yes, matter is discrete. What's your point?

>>8501322
fuckk offf, probs smarter than evryone on here

>>8501322
No, because the majority of them amount to nothing. Often, for instance, child genius is fleeting and they end up 'normalising' against their equally brilliant classmates, or co-workers.

I feel like a failure when I read about the prodigies of the past, who actually did things. Modern prodigies tend to be just autistic savants, completely unable to generalise their talents.

Then again, the fact that the useful type of prodigy tends to disappear as soon as historical records become more reliable, makes me question whether they were ever a thing at all.
