Assuming you are not bound by any physical laws, design a space that has the following three properties:
>travelling between two randomly chosen points always takes a finite time
>it can fit an infinite number of 3D objects inside
>it is realistically possible for normal three-dimensional interactions to occur (so you can't just say "just have 4D space" because attempting normal 3D interaction would be like holding two infinitely-thin pieces of paper and having them touch edges)

>You guys are probably smarter, but not principally different. You have science, we have science, you apparently have language and so do we. You have a society, so do we. We are on the verge of developing AI and probably genetic enhancements so we aren't nowhere near our peak. Yes, we might have blundered a little bit with our CO2 production, but you can help us with that, surely. Also we'd be very grateful if you share some knowledge with us - as we are a curious species. I am sure you can learn interesting things from us too - we have great music, art and thought. Let's be friends.

96,664 people have signed. Help us reach 100,000 signatures.

On August 17, 2016, the American College of Pediatricians issued a statement saying “gender Ideology harms children,” and “urges educators and legislators to reject all policies that condition children to accept as normal a life of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex. Facts – not ideology – determine reality.” In their statement, they go on to say “a person’s belief that he or she is something they are not is, at best, a sign of confused thinking.”

These statements are supported by three leading medical doctors in the field, including Paul McHugh, M.D., University Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins Medical School and the former psychiatrist in chief at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

The statement goes on to say "Conditioning children into believing that a lifetime of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex is normal and healthful is child abuse."

Do physicists break the laws of physics?

If physicists are bound by (and therefore obey) the laws of physics, then physics is being studied by something that is its own property... therefore there is no real study of physics... the study of physics is simply an cycle of endless cycle of narcissism between physics and physicists (which are in fact the same thing), through which physics and physicists both end up dead.

Step #1, stop shit posting
Step #2, think about everything you don't think is obvious or apparent until you realize why it really is obvious and apparent
Step #3, reap accumulating benefits

I'm afraid the 'strength' of your intuition is just something you're born with.

Yeah, it's not fair, but who says it has to be?

Why is everyone worrying about going to the mars when literally we got a moon to experiment with.

We should have at least some kind of research base or something ,wouldnt this give us a jist of what its like living on a different planet then try going to mars?

going to mars would cost more and is far as fuck and is a shitty planet with alittle bit of water.

Going to the moon would be cheaper not far as the mars literally will take a day unlike fucking mars which will take months.

>evolution is real, species adapt to their environment and develop different characteristics, different dog breeds have different traits like intelligence, coat pattern, stamina, size etc.
>Different human races that evolved in different environments for tens of thousands of years are all 100% identical in intelligence levels you racist bigot

So is evolution real or not? Because only one of these statements can be true.

A series converges if it [math] eventually[/math] settles around a single value, otherwise it diverges (this can be either because it shoots off to infinity, or because it oscillates forever and [math]never [/math] settles down to a single value).

Which part of that do you find hard to get?
