dont animals see his colors and somehow know he is poisonous so they don't fuck with him?
Poisonous skin wouldn't protect the frog unless other animals knew he was poisonous.

He was poisonous from the beginning. There is no evolution or development.

There is no advantage in killing the thing that eats you if it still eats you

Physics Bach holders would be too busy stroking their own ego that they did physics to bother to learn the engineering their being taught. Biggest bunch of arrogant egomaniacs I've ever met.

>positioned by a wave like force?
Explain yourself. Are you saying that something makes the electrons go through some complicated paths to form the interference pattern?

>>8351734
I think that's what he meant. Seems reasonable to me too (not a physicist ofc). Maybe it's just some wave-like force exerted by slits that makes this wave-like pattern.

It's just a vector dumb dumb

that's not what "observation" means
observation works in the sense that a baseball bat observes a baseball when you fucking hit them together

>>8352967
You said it yourself. Thats hitting. How can it be same as observing?

Are you saying that police radar affects the speed of target car?

That pic is rude.

The moon landing was not fake. There are mirrors placed on the moon by astronauts that you can bounce lasers off of and detect the returning signal here on earth, thus proving man was on the moon.

>Do you believe the moon landing was real or fake?
fake

>What is the evidence you use to support your claim?
1.) astronaut behavior in interviews as well as history of alcoholism in some Apollo astronauts.
2.) changed or retracted statements of Apollo astronauts
3.) photographic anomalies
4.) missing data
5.) historical fraud of donations to institutions, moon rocks.
6.) contradictions in physics
7.) fraternization of pilots in NASA, i.e all Apollo astronauts are Freemasons. Fraternization of government agencies have historically been part of fraudulence and crime.

>Do you think we will return to the Moon any time in the near future?
never.
>Why or why not?
because space is a fraud.

False vacuum
>In a 2005 paper published in Nature, as part of their investigation into Global catastrophic risks, MIT physicist Max Tegmark and Oxford philosopher Nick Bostrom calculate the natural risks of the destruction of the Earth at less than 1 per Gigayear from all events, including a transition to a lower vacuum state. They argue that due to observer selection effects, we might underestimate the chances of being destroyed by vacuum decay because any information about this event would reach us only at the instant when we too were destroyed. This is in contrast to events like to risks from impacts, gamma-ray bursts, supernovae and hypernovae, whose frequencies we have adequate direct measures of.

its fisically impossible to burp and fart at the same time. air can only go one way through the body so if you were to do both at the same time air would be going out the same way and cause a embolism and death

>>8344746
Not sure how they came up with the equations but they are two valid equations that have the properties needed to prove their claim. If you look at both equations, they each contain (p^2-2) which is the central idea to the theorem.

>>8344746
You're looking for a rational number [math]r[/math] such that [math] (p + r)^2 < 2 [/math].
This can be rewritten as:[eqn] r(2p + r) < 2 - p^2 [/eqn]Let [math] \displaystyle r = \frac{2-p^2}{s} [/math]. The hope is that this [math] s [/math] gets cancelled when you multiply [math] r [/math] by [math] 2p + r [/math] so that only [math] 2 - p^2 [/math] remains.
So set [math] 2p + r = s [/math] and solve for [math] s [/math]. You'll indeed find that [math] s = p + 2 [/math]

How can I stop myself from trying to apply category theory to everything I encounter?

Probably not.

All current evidence points to c being a hard speed limit.

>All current evidence points to c being a hard speed limit.

There are valid mathematical solutions to get around the hard C limit, but all of them involve non-physical objects with nonsense characteristics like negative mass and negative energy.

Like it or not that 160 IQ kid is going to have to learn how to deal with the average person which they won't have the opportunity to do if they're off learning by themselves.

that's true, but learning the actual shit is equally important right?

> Or are we likely to see only incremental improvements?

That's how it almost always is. Lots of little steps add up to big changes after a while though.

>>8344041
Far too close for my comfort. We've discovered most of what is to discover from a standpoint of things that will help humanity. It is more or less up to engineers to actually do something monumental with it. Materials tech is nearly a dead end for science. Genetics on the other hand still has a long way to go.

>How close are we to reaching the limit of what is physically possible, in terms of our scientific and technological development as a species?
We are way too fucking far from reach our limit Anon.

>Is this about 90% of what we're going to get?
No.

>Or is there still good reason to believe that the future will be radically different?
The future will always be different.

>Are we likely to see only incremental improvements.
See: >>8344059 Its all one step at a time.
My only hope is we cure/find major way to combat Alzheimer on the predicted time of 2025, and rid the world of aging/combat it majorly 20-30 so we can live long enough to reap our constant hard work in 2116 and beyond.
