If you raised a child in a 4D simulation would they be able to properly comprehend 4D naturally for research?

>Implying a 4D simulation will be possible.

If a 4th dimension does exist, raising a child in one probably wouldn't be a good idea.
>>
>>8421722
If you could get a rudimentary simulation of 3D into 2D and 2D into 1D why couldn't you do a rudimentary simulation of 4D into 3D?

In essence you'd get a child that learns about its surrounding in 4D and his brain would "transcend" 3D when brought into our world which would be helpful for spacetime research
>>
>>8421710
I think the human neurological machinery could probably handle 4D logic if exposed from birth. Soon I will attempt to figure if it can be learned as well.

Try surviving in Alaska without any technology or tools just with your "natural biology".

Humans adapt their environment for survival. The same thing will happen with Mars. This person uses a strawman argument, "natural life on Mars is impossible". When Musk never argued for that. He and anyone sane, aka not a low IQ babby like this faggot, understand living on Mars involves enclosures calibrated to sustain life.

Living on Mars is easier than living on the moon or in space, due to the higher natural gravity. There are also resources on Mars that can be harvested to "sustain" a population.

This little paragraph of arguments by some low IQ shit means nothing.

>>8428021
Same old dumb argument, same flaws, different prettied up pathos wrapping.

The human species cannot handle itself, this much is obvious. If we wish to continue our plague-like spread we have to get out of here before the means, or we ourselves, are gone. It's that simple. There is no reversing or reconciling what has happened here, ecologically, culturally, or socially. It's over. Life has no restarts, but we can only attempt to start over.

>The data have been partially analysed and confirm that the entry and descent stages occurred as expected, with events diverging from what was expected after the ejection of the back heat shield and parachute. This ejection itself appears to have occurred earlier than expected, but analysis is not yet complete.

>The thrusters were confirmed to have been briefly activated although it seems likely that they switched off sooner than expected, at an altitude that is still to be determined.

Geniune question : Why is it so hard for them to monitor the probe's descend ? Seems like they need a whole week just to know if it landed on Mars. In comparaison the Curiosity sequence seemed nearly instant.

So I see a lot of nuclear shills on here, but I've never seen an actual reason to go nuclear over renewables. Why?

And what degree should one pursue?

Trades? Pajeet can do that. Finances? Pajeet can do that too.

There's no way you can compete with Pajeet unles you learn to work for Pajeet's wage.

Does anyone ever get depressed at the thought that the universe has to end someday. No matter how far we go and how long humanity can last, it can't live past the death of the universe. Entropy was a mistake.

No. Entropy is the reality and normality. Thinking anything can last forever is the mistake.
