If I traveled speed of light, lets say in a capsula orbiting the earth. If I had a webcam and chatted with ppl on earth via skype. what would I see?

Impossible to "videochat" at those speeds. Its impossible to have mass at those speeds.

Let's say I had a realtime, good DPS high quality cam, pointed to somewhere on earth. Lets say a big city, New York. What would I see? A hundred years pass in a second, or something else?

How can I measure whether a line shocks for some period of time (not just a single big jump).
Consider the case where the line is made of discrete points.

Anyone?

If tobacco, or nicotine relises something like some kind of an anti stressologen (I don't know the name of it if there is one), and in that way, makes the body produce less anti stressologen if nicotine is not in our blood vains, and in that way we get addicted to nicotine, because the stressing feeling is not a very nice feeling, and makes you more clomsy and hard to think striaght. Right now this is fixed by Nicotine in lower doses over time, but what if we create something that "fixes" this anti stressologen production.

the term you look for is anti-aromatase and yes nicotine does that same thing broccoli does but is more potent.

I'm a physics student,my next exam will be quantum mecchanics, i tried many times to learn it and i can't approach in the right way, so i'm here for search some advice.
I don't have very big problem in understanding concept but i can't apply the theory to exercise, so i'm asking a dumb-proof guide to do quantum exercise.
The main argument are wave fuction and operator, angular momentum,spin , perturbative theory dependent and indipendent from time, and some notions about fine structure and atoms.
Maybe some more powerful physicist can help a quantum newbie.

Lets say your brain can work and process information 500x faster than the average human, almost as fast as a computer. Since you can see little moment happening and be able to see things 500x faster than the average human eye, would that allow you to see everything in slow motion from your perspective without breaking any physical laws? This might be possible because if your brain is faster, you would be able to process things happening quickly (not as quick as a bullet) such as a lightning bolt in the sky or someone trying to throw a sucker punch at you that you would be able to dodge very quickly. With computer like information processing, the events happening in real life would be processed faster and therefore, they would happen in slow motion from the user's perspective, theoretically.

If a lightning bolt were to strike, it moves at the speed of light, right? You can notice it, but you can't dodge it once you already see it coming, as you don't move anything close to the speed of light, you just process information abnormally fast.
>>
>>8268160
Lightning travels at 1/3 of the speed of light, but yes you wouldn't be able to see it, but you would be able to observe it longer than other people can.
>>
Not OP but I have a question. If this happened, how would people look? Would things be in slow motion and people would be moving slowly? But then how would they see you? You wouldn't be moving fast because it doesn't actually increase your movement speed.

Where do you guys usually study? Currently, i'm studying at my dorm, lately i've been fucking distracted, i would check my phone every minute, make tea, walk around, sleep, daydream or even browse 4chan and youtube with my laptop, i'm starting to decide to go to the library.

The campus library, I have 1 and 2 hour gaps between classes most days, which is too short to justify driving home, so I just get my studying done during the day

ITT: we share our ideas, big and small, theoretical and concrete, how to achieve artificial superintelligence.

My suggestion would be to build something like opencog, but on blockchain so that people will be motivated to help, since no single rich person can just instantiate the awesome open source agi on his server farm and control the god all by himself.

Besides that, I guess improving machine learning technology and applying it to some other crucial problems wouldn't be wrong. Although I have no idea what those "crucial problems" would be - anyone?

before you can simulate something, you first need to know what it is and how it works.

op, please define 'intelligence' and 'consciousness', then explain in detail how they work.
>>
>>8267589
I don't want to simulate anything. Consciousness is also not the issue.

What I want (and you should, too) is essentially a "super science machine" that can improve on a level as meta as possible until we get magic life extension.

Maybe someone in the life sciences can help and tell us what currently the most tedious processes are, so we can think about how to automate those (or have a machine automate them)
>>
first we need to migrate all binar logic to ternary

them we can start building a real computed brain

wont go into detail here tho as most of you understand jackshit anyway

It's only speculation before we find out in a month from now what the Mars Colonial Transporter will be. But it' must have more than 2 stages, it cannot be just 2. TD;LR, even Falcon Heavy has 2+ stages (depending on mission).
