Given the universe is 4 billion years old and radio waves travel at the same speed as light, if there was intelligent alien life, shouldnt earth constantly be getting transmission from other alien species? Like even if the aliens sent communications by accident like humans did 70 years ago shouldnt the earth be getting some kind of communication?

How do you know we aren't?
If we were sent wi-fi signal before we invented the internet, how would we know?
Why do you assume we'd be able to detect whatever signal they've sent?
Why do you believe we'd be receiving anything at all?

>>8485898
1. why do you assume aliens developed radio
2. why do you think they would continue to expose themselves to other alien life when they would be just as fearful of being annhiliated as we are

>>8485902
Theres no evidence that we have recieved any communication from an alien civilization.
What other types of communication can travel at the speed of light? Isnt it possible to narrow down the methods of communication based on distance and time?
Even if aliens had some extra sensory form of communication that could travel that distance the amount of civilizations a galaxy that is 47 billion years old should at least produce more than one that communicates similar to the way we do. We havent even gotten a fucking text message...

Over the past couple of years I realized that I barely have any memories of my childhood (I at least think it's not enough). I'm curious how much memory other people keep, as this is making me feel terrible, I feel like I'm losing my life.
I smoked weed maybe 15-20times at max from 15-18 years old. It was barely ever more than 1g though, and even though I know it affects your cognitive skills, I feel this wouldn't be enough to be severly destructive on ones long-term memory (correct me if I'm wrong)
From 0-3 I only have one memory of me crawling around in our living room. I guess it's normal to not have as much memory of those years. Afterwards I can only recall special events, and of those events I can barely ever recall more than a bit of a dialogue. Memory for me is a span of ~5 - 10 seconds at all times. I have just a couple of those from before I went to kindergarten, then just up to maybe 10 pieces of memory from the kindergarten itself (those are all not connected, and as I said incredibly short). In addition to that I can barely remember the places I used to be at, kindergarten itself I only remember one room, have no memory of my past best friends house overall (and also don't remember any time we met).
From my first day in school I can only remember talking to a friend for the first time and telling each other our names. Then following up on that again just pieces of my everyday life. Absolutely no details, no connection between events, and not that many of those at all. I also do not remember many special events. I can't remember a single christmas evening in detail, just a few birthday parties (again just very short/small pieces, and I don't all the gifts I got either (this is actually making me worry more now, is it normal to not be able to note down all the belongings you've had in your life?)) almost no details of family vacations, no matter how much I enjoyed them, and so on.

From year 5-9 of school memories are a bit more frequent than that, but again just short/no details.
Highschool is a bit better, but not nearly as much as I wish it was.
To touch on a more recent example: Friends organized me a birthday party as a surprise in September. I was quite drunk, but not to the extent of having severe memory loss or anything, and yet again I can only recall it in short parts. Birthday went on from 7pm ~ 5am, of that I maybe remember about an hour - 2 in total.
To be even more recent: Friday was quite an enjoyable day. It was all freetime, and while doing nothing special it was just a nice day. Yet I maybe only remember again an hour - 2 in total of that.
Really all I want to know is how many memories, and in how much detail others keep them. I suppose brains block out memories that aren't of much importance, but I feel like my rate of block is unhealthy. I feel like I'm losing my life, and losing all the experiences I gathered. This makes me feel terrible at all times, and I'd like to ask if memories are completely deleted out of the brain, or if they're more or less sorted into the unconscious part of it.
If so, am I able to regain memories? Is there hope left?, has drug abuse ended my cognitive skills?
I had a troubled past, but there were also many amazing aspects to it (one that I remember in more detail is playing my first pokemon game), which I'd like to keep for the rest of my life. I'm considering to note them down, but this makes me feel like I'm under severe pressure. I feel like it would just make me realize how little there is left. Right now it feels like I could barely fill a couple of pages in Microsoft Word, which makes me want to throw up, considering it's my life I'm thinking about.

I don't know how to break to you OP, so I'm going to be direct: you're a brainlet.
Better get a head start on those applications to Walmart. I hear they need shopping cart attendants in the parking lot this year. Remember to dress warm, the temperature drops in winter.
Good luck.

waytl;dr
I'm not sure if I'm losing too many of my memories, is it normal to not be able to recall everything, sometimes even significant events? Sorry for posting such a long text, but this has been bothering me for a long time, and it feels good to finally write it down.
I would gladly appreciate any help
(Excuse any grammatical/spelling mistakes, I'm hurrying right now)
Something that may be important, and that I forgot to mention: no illnesses, unfortunately unhealthy diet (not many vitamins and such), was depressed/suicidal for quite some time

Hey guys
several days ago I've saw a thread about brain fog. Reading about the symptomes let me realize that I'm suffering from this cloudy mind for more than a year.
Do someone of you also experienced brain fog? How do you guys deal with it? How can I cure this condition
Thanks for every helpful answer

Med and nurse fags. What are good treatment options for Scheurmann's disease? My spine fucking hurts almost all the time when I'm not laying down. It feels like a dull butter knife has been implanted between my shoulder blades. My doctor only gives me Naproxen for the pain and it doesn't do shit. Is spinal fusion possible? What medications can I take that I could realistically get that can help? My degree is 50 on the Cobb angle. He says it's a very minor case, but it still hurts like a bitch.

No. They just know that since only the real students will have bothered to keep up at school or will make the effort to work it out for themselves, they'll be able to weed out all the shit students who assume that learning is a passive process where the teacher is responsible for learning instead of an active one where the student takes responsibility for their own understanding.
>>
>>8483802
They are trying to weed out the retards.
Im quite serious about this, the first half of my semester was intentionally about making as much students as possible quit because they will not make it anyways.
As a tip you will get better fairly quick as you practice and read more and more proofs.
ITT I will try to solve (and in fact solve) all the Millennium Prize Problems one by one. I will do so by a new proof technique that has been proved to be quite powerful. It combined homothopy theory with algebraic geometry. Having said that, the proof technique itself is elementary though. So, let's go ahead.
1. [math] \displaystyle P=NP [/math]
By definition, polynomila algorithms admit decomposition in chains of smaller polynomial algorithms. Consequently, polynomial time algorithms do not solve problems where blocks, whoose order is the same as the underlying problem, require simultaneous resolution. Thus, in fact [math] \displaystyle P \neq NP [/math]
2. Hodge conjecture
Assuming that if a compact Kähler mainfold is complex-analytically rigid, the area-minimizing subvarieties approach complex analytic subvarieties. The set of singularities of an area-minimizng flux is zero in measure. The rest it left to the reader as an easy routine excersize.
3. Riemann hypothesis
This is a simple experimental fact. [math] \displaystyle 10^{13} [/math] roots of the Riemann hypothesis have been already tested and it suffices for all practical applications. In fact, one state a suitable statistical hypothesis and check it on the sample of, say, [math] \displaystyle 10^5 [/math] roots.
4. Yang–Mills existence and mass gap
Well, discrete infinite bosonic energy-mass spectrum of gauge bosons under Gelfand nuclear triples admits non-perturbative quantization of Yang-Mills fields whence the gauge-invariant quantum spectrum is bounded below. A particular consequence is the existence of the mass gap.
5. Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness
(To be continued)

I haven't worked this one in such detail, but observing that
[math] \displaystyle \| L (u, v) \| ^ 2 = \sum_{n \ge 25} u ^ 2_ {2n} v ^ 2_ {2n +1} / n ^ 2 \le C\|(u_n/\sqrt n)\|_4^2 \|(v_n/\sqrt n)\|_4^2 \le C\|(u_n/\sqrt n)\|_2^2 \|(v_n/\sqrt n)\|_2^2 = C \left (\sum u ^ 2_ {n} / n \right) \left (\sum v ^ 2_ {n} / n \right) [/math]
one can easily find at leat one closed-form solution applying the bubble integral. In the equation, [math] \displaystyle L [/math] is a bilinear operator.
6. Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture
The problem with former attempts has been in the way elliptic curves have been dealt with. But this really admits a proof with a computer by checking the (finitely many) categories of curves.
I also have a simpler than Perelman's proof of the Poincare conjecture, but it's not worth the prize anymore

Considering that there is a very real possibility that earth is the only planet with life on it in the entire universe doesn't it make it extremely important that we go to Mars? It would be the first time any life managed to survive on another planet outside of earth and would make a trip to Mars humanities greatest accomplishment.
Why don't politicians seem to care about that?
