If two rockets move away from each other at the speed of light, isn't one going twice the speed of light from the other's reference frame?
What happens when this happens? Is one rocket causally disconnected from the other? IE no light from it ever reaches the other rocket. So in a way casually it doesn't exist anymore.
Doesn't all of this also imply that there is an absolute state of motionlessness? The speed of light isn't realitive to the object that emitted it.

Explain to me how ergospheres don't allow effective faster than light travel? The light cone is warped so that paths that would previously be considered spacelike (and therefore impossible) are now timelike, allowing particles to travel these paths at sub-luminal speeds. Can some anon explain to me why this wouldn't allow you to actually travel faster than light as seen by a distant observer?

What exactly makes thoughts appear in our heads? Even without an external stimulus like when you are meditating or lying in bed.

I suppose it is the summation of experience and the innate nature of our imagination.
I suppose this is why we have no memory of thought in our earliest existence.

Could it be that we have an abstract list of memories sorted by current importance and our brain randomly recalls them?

So back in high school I remember one of my math teachers said that if we could find a "job/profession" that doesn't use math at all we could be excused from doing a project. He said there was only one student who had been able to find a job that didn't use math. Does anyone on here know of such a profession? Does such a job exist?

I will be defending my Ph.D. dissertation in the near future. I'm getting nervous. Has anyone else gone through the dissertation defense process, and if so, do you have any advice?

My department does the public and closed-door sessions separately. I've already done the public part, now just the closed-door with my advisory committee (6 members, including major advisor). That's the part that is generating anxiety.
>>
>>8315765
Practice your speech again and again and again.
I did nothing but that for the two weeks preceding my defense because I was anxious as fuck, until I could just give my speech in a daze.
It went well.
The questions will be the hard part, of course. Just don't bullshit if there's something you don't know or missed.
good news! we can now store the bible until the end of the universe, so the new universe will have the word of god too!

Just to be clear, I’m not a professional ‘quote maker’. I’m just an atheist teenager who greatly values his intelligence and scientific fact over any silly fiction book written 3,500 years ago. This being said, I am open to any and all criticism.
In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phony god’s blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my intelligence.
It's almost sad y'know? You little idiots actually believe in the fantasy drivel your little age old book of fairy tales tells you. And what I personally find even sadder (and quite frightening as well) is that there are mindless people out there both young and old who think your kind has all the answers when its clear as day that you would rather "pray" a problem away than actually do anything of substance to work towards addressing if not fixing it. Those people are the scariest because they will blindly follow a faith or movement without any sort of critical thinking or a second thought.

This is actually true. I know this is a copy-pasta but still.

How come people who like anime are more likely to be virgins?
I am not trolling here. I'm just wondering what's the science or psychology behind people watching a medium like anime, being the most likely demographic to be virgins when it comes to media consumption? Video games being the medium that follows up right behind anime.
For this question underage people are obviously excluded.

I don't need to know why, I only need to know that I counted a few times and that it is true.
Now, I can make decisions and if I am incorrect, it is an acceptable loss or a problem with the subject for being dissimilar to my previous countings.

People on the autism spectrum are more likely to enjoy anime, because of the relative lack of emotional depth, the easily readable facial expressions, and the alternative to Western social standards.
People on the autism spectrum also tend to be virgins, because they are neither physically desirable not charismatic.

Man goes to the doctor, says "Doctor, I need help. My redctuonist, mechanistic view of nature and its inherent meaninglessness is making me depressed". Doctor thinks for a minute, finally he says "Well, have you tried complexity science?" Funny joke, everyone laughs.

How did it develop? Were we knuckle-walkers who stood up, or suspensory apes who came down? Were we waders or root-pullers? Was it open woodlands or the savanna?

Our closest relative os the chimpanzee, so we came from knuckle walkers. Eventually, mutations arose that shaped our physiology to stand taller, which allowed them to survive better and reproduce. Things continued to go that way until we became fully bipedal
>>
As for the environment, I'm not totally sure, but humans evolved in Africa, which contained/contains many biomes. But most likely forest, based off the natural habitat of chimpanzees and other related apes

What about Ardi? She doesn't seem to have the long metatarsals that chimps or bonobos do, and seems to have a more bipedally-oriented pelvis.
