Yes, obviously. Only people from 4chan and a few from Reddit were ever tricked over this.

Be sure to donate more to SeaShell on reddit XD totally not a scam

>philosophy that high

So... you are telling me that 13 billion years ago all the matter and energy in the universe was compressed in a single point and then exploded and the universe inflated and 500 billion years later giant spheres of hydrogen that neither exploded because of gravity nor condensed into a single point because of magnetism popped up all over the place and from those giants spheres of fire were ejected more complex pieces of matter that formed yet more spheres that happened to orbit around the giant sphere of fire not escaping the orbit because of gravity but neither being consumed by the ball of fire because of their tangential velocity, and in at one of those spheres cooled down enough that it became solid while spinning on its own axis and then somehow those molecules mixed with each other forming ever-increasingly complex structures that self-replicated until there was such a thing as a generic code with instructions to create even more complex structures and those structures shared the same resources and thus were changed over time due to different environmental pressures, and the code changed between generations because it was recombined or mutated randomly for a myriad of reasons, and coincidentally since the core of the sphere was made of iron it generated a magnetic field that covered the planet from cosmic rays, and those structures changed gradually over billions of years and one of those resultant structures were human beings who then just happened to discover that the building blocks of the universe could be controlled in such ways that allowed for communication at high speeds and that's how i am sending this message?

cool story bro.

The observable universe can be traced back to a point so that it looks like an explosion. That's the facts of what we can observe. The explanation for things outside of the scope of that explosion are a lot less accessible to observation, arguably to the point of physical evidence of anything beyond that scope being impossible. But here's one idea for what that extra context surrounding our universe's origin might be that I find plausible: ours is just one universe of many universes, and they all emerge like bubbles from an eternally existing ocean-like floor of reality with neither a beginning nor an end. So there, you have a non-finite source for the observable universe that doesn't run into the "something from nothing" problem while at the same time doesn't resort to the ancient tradition of explaining all unknown phenomena in terms of magic invisible people.

And really, having a conscious, human-like actor as something *more* fundamental to the observable universe doesn't make much sense when you consider the human brain is one of the least old structures to have emerged on this planet. That makes brain mediated phenomena like thought, foresight, decision-making, etc. the least sensible thing for the most fundamental floor of reality to have. What would make much more sense is for the floor of reality to be as simple and non-built up as possible since it has to account for the built up complexities that followed from it. The god idea is shit because it starts with the most complex thing already existing.

because they're physicists. they're right to be, it's a top tier profession.

>>8304416
Because undergrads like to think they are the next Feynmans?

Because most people who go for physics are brainlet teenagers that think they will be the next Einstein, when in fact 99.99% of them discover, in some point, they are just delusional losers and then they go on teach physics in public mid school or make popscience articles.

What do you know already?

are you self-learning? or are you enrolled in an ode's course? during my time learning ode's and pde's i ditched my course's textbook for this:

and focused on solving the assignments of the course to practice.

I am in no way an expert on the topic but from what I understand a nuclear winter would basically just be the result smoke collecting in the atmosphere from all the fires that would be burning on the surface after a global nuclear crisis.

this might be useful

keep in mind that the author might be spot on, might be somewhat wrong, or completely wrong, and you wont be able to tell the difference until you research more

I always thought of it in the same vein as body dysmorphia (a mental disorder).

Philosophy is a meme,

>You can't prove that you exist!
>I'm smarter than you because I know I don't know anything.
>Nothing is real!

Every philosopher should drop a hammer on their toes to find out if the hammer is real.

Cocaine was totally underwhelming. More of a background thing, nothing like the way its portrayed in the movies. And I snorted a lot of it and the quality was good too (according to the major cokehead I did it with) the fiw times I did it. although i was pretty drunk each time I did it so that may be a factor.

Can confirm; not worth it, just dumb and a waste of time.

It's good for staying awake (i.e. All nighters for studying) but not good for attention enhancement like adderall. Stack both for maximum effectzz

They're young. Young men are generally very invested in inflating their egos. It's natural. I was like that when I was a young adult. They will grow out of it (I hope.)
