No. Which is one of the main reasons why simulated reality is impossible.

It could have, but if that is the case we haven't managed to build measuring devices indicating it (so far).

However, plenty of things are proven to be quantized. Matter (atoms) and their energy levels (quantized states) and electromagnetic radiation (photons) probably the most fundamental.

Maybe. There is sort of a smallest distance, called a Planck length, combining that and the speed of light we get something called a Planck time.

You ____could____ say that the universe "updates" in ticks of once every Planck unit of time, which is roughly 5.39 * 10^(-44) seconds.

Why?
Isn't chemistry a science?

Just as much as it needs a biology board, a computer science board, an engineering board or a seperate board for any other branch of science that gets hate by arrogant trolls.

So far current mathematical models postulates the theory. We do not know for sure if they do exist in the capacity we theorize, but until evidence is gathered to prove the contrary we can only base our knowledge on what little data we have now.

In other words we don't really know for sure, but data proves it more than it disproves it.

Wait do you mean four dimensional space instead of four dimensional spacetime?

Then the answer is basically no, we have no evidence of any such geometry existing that is observable to us. It has been studied mathematically and it exists purely in mathematical models.

I doubt we'll ever observe such a geometry if it existed considering our geometrical constraints.

Yes, there are a lot more than 3 dimensions.

Is it normal to get headaches from trying to focus?

Further more, the Axioms that Euclid so candidly expounded on are rooted in the Axioms of Thoth.

Cartesian Coordinates is nothing more but a postulate founded on the Axiom of Correspondence.

The Dot in the Center of Euclidean space represents the axiom of growth from absolute nothingness, into a duality called polarity...

according to a Russian engineer at my uni, Euclid did not write Elements, he stole them from either Egyptian or Babylonian priest and published them.

I have noticed that Russians tend to give more credit to Babylonians and Egyptians than is normal in the U.S. The same engineer also said that Pythagoras learned math from his travels to the middle east.

Two things to blame:

1) General scientific illiteracy, which is present everywhere, but is partly (but not fully) traced to deeply rooted creationism in certain societies, like in the US. This in itself only potentially makes fertile ground for such conspiracies, but it is not the main sower of the conspiratard seed.

2) This is the most important point in my opinion, far more significant than the first. General spur of distrust of the government/establishment/corporatocracy in the US, especially after the fiasco that was the Vietnam war and the revelation of the extent of US propaganda. It's easy to see why this point is important, considering many of these "skeptic" conspiracy theories originate in the US and are US-centric, it's a way of the people to get attention, feel special while demonstrating their distrust of the establishment or the perceived oppressor.

Education doesn't really matter that much when you are exposed to so many "alternatives" to what the scientists are saying, to an extent that you can simply avoid learning to critically examine arguments in favour of regurgitating things that a supposedly more learned person told you. Problem is made worse when some people simply cannot afford said education or the state doesn't place as much value to educating the entirety of its citizens (arguably to the favour of the ruling class of the US). A combination of factors, really.

All in all, I don't think it's a coincidence I see so many American flags being proponents of these kinds of conspiracy theories, which is why I exclusively focus on the US.

>Can this be stopped?
Free colleges and education, importance on science education curriculum by the state (very important), distance from religion (gradually), control of the media, censorship, all of them would help but some have a cost to the people's rights and some to the power of the US elite. Realistically speaking, nothing can be done right now in the US political scene that would help.

Science tells facts while politics tells opinions
When scientific facts disagree with peoples political opinions they will always choose their opinions.
It is why Global warming is a political issue instead of a scientific one to most people.
