I think we may all be dead for witnessing the day, however, I do think that humanity will become AT LEAST interstellar and hopefully intergalactic.

Though, outside of a miracle we will always be trapped within our gravitationally bound Local Group.

>>8792309
yes
also... wings on a spacecraft? are those jet engines on that thing too? did they expect there to be interplanetary air or something? lol

It is a notion created by humans to understand extremes

Given sufficently big or small mesurment units, everything could be mesured

Even expanding universe has a constant size in small enough time interval, but that interval has to be infinitly small and here we go with infinity in definiton of infinitly, shit

t. Drunk brainlet

Based on the implication of a 'real infinity', I would say no. There's no physical mass or energy that is 'infinite'. Conceptually, it helps to quantify mathematics on a scale larger than the calculations being done for materials but other than that, the idea of infinite is not a useful one. The only thing that appears to be infinite is time but time is also a construct that is humanistically designed to be infinite.

No way to verify with our current technological/scientific knowledge.

There currently is no "infinite" thing we know of except for abstract constructs.

Infinity is a real 'concept' though, in the sense that we can "always add 1."

The Euler characteristic of a compact oriented surface is 2g-2, where g is the genus of the surface. Thus for the 2-torus, whose genus is clearly 1, we have that the Euler characteristic is 0. On the other hand, by definition, the Euler characteristic is also the alternating sum of the Betti numbers. The torus is being connected its zeroth Betti number is 1 and, by Poincaré duality, its second Betti number is 1 as well. It's also not hard to see that the fundamental group has two generators and is abelian and thus, by the Hurewitz theorem, the first Betti number of the torus is 2. Combining everything we get that 1-2+1=0 or, in other words, 1+1=2. QED

The meme occurs on page 379 of Volume I, of the three-volume work. About another 1600 pages follow.

At one point Whitehead and Russell had wanted to devote a fourth volume to geometry, but they were "intellectually exhausted" and never got round to it.

I've been on all but the armodafinil (started 1.5 months ago) and the tiagabine (started 2 weeks ago) for about 6-9 months.

The pregabalin and baclofen did provide more benefit than anything I've tried up until that point, but the tiagabine was the diamond in the rough that had to this day been more beneficial and less harmful than anything I've been prescribed to this date, and this is only after a couple weeks of treatment.

The past week alone has been the most "normal" I've felt since before I started seeing doctors. I guess the stigma of being broken and unfixable attributed to that.

First and foremost, I know that I'm still early on in the tiagabine treatment, but I'm wondering if the addition of a GAT inhibiting drug like vigabatrin or valproate could lead to an even larger reduction of my symptoms if I replaced the pregabalin and/or baclofen with something like that. Vigabatrin is out of the picture due to cost.

But could the specific combination of medications be the key here?

Furthermore, I'm almost baffled by the lack of data on tiagabine out there. There's none research or even anecdotal data about it being used for depersonalization, and the data that is out there is quite limited.

Seeing how much of a difference I've noticed makes me wonder if tiagabine (or the combination with other medications) could be an unstudied solution to treatment resistant depersonalization. I understand from personal experience and from reading anecdotal reports that the resistance to everything you throw at the problem can be almost scarier and more disturbing than the original problem.

The thought that this could lead to helping so many people who've been in the same position as me has convinced me to ask around and see if there's any evidence here or if I'm just lucky.

Let me know your thoughts, I have a feeling that I might have caught on to something almost by chance.

Pic unrelated of course.

Just as a side note, I'm self taught about psychiatry and the mechanisms of the brain and am by no means an expert so if I'm missing the point please let me know

Pi is irrational, so the relation between the distances travelled by both particles can not be expressed as a fraction (ratio). Therefore there is no combination of integer numbers of revolutions and straight travels.

>>8790922
Let the diameter = 1, wlog. No multiple of pi can ever be an integer, (if it could, pi would be rational) and the distance travelled by the diameter-bound particle will always be integer valued at the edge of the circle

I believe that for each real epsilon > 0, there's a time t for which the distance between the particles is inferior to that epsilon.
I don't know how to prove it because my math is a bit rusty so if someone a little clever than me could post a proof...

Archeology.

Either economics, psychology or linguistics.

Why no sociology ?

I thought I was smart until I started to frequent /sci/. Not that I was enlightened by the board's wisdom, but how similar of a jackass I am like 99% of the users.

I'm so smart I only shitpost on /sci/, because that's how little I think of you guys.

if you want to have a shot at immortality make good life choices. dont smoke, dont drink. have balanced diet, stay lean. exercise to maintain muscle mass, mobility and cardiovascular fitness. keep your brain working.
other things you can do - become molecular biologist to work on therapies killing senescent cells or fixing other damage caused by aging or donate to people doing it

Thanks for beating me to it pal :^)

>>8788881
Definitely worth taking but as >>8789206 mentions you appear to be retarded so maybe take something more on your pace such as introduction to english literature

Leave it to their rightful owners, imperialist scum.

Telescopes?

WOWOWOWOW
STOP RIGHT THERE

If we were to use that land, be it by buying it or by taking it, that would be fucking racist. Let the native people work their own land. Or what, do you think they can't? You fucking racist asshole go kill yourself.

space elevators are feasible if we can finally get graphene out of the lab, that picture is retarded though, what's the thing tethered to? the air?

Also that sounds like a dumb idea that would kill a lot of people should something bad happen.

To the brainlets who can't see it: when the two sources of light destructively interfere in the middle the shadow bulges travel faster than light speed

im a fucking idiot but my guess is you are confusing two qualities that aren't related in a way you are suggesting

shadows aren't objects

I'm really fucking tired of telling retards that there's no speed limits for shadows; shadows aren't made of anything

Go back to whatever hole you crawled out of, you fucking brainlet

if it works ill probably be more terrifid at what we've become than anything

What, that is crazy. What are they going to use to reconnect the spine?

Is it possible to reconnect spines now?

Jung was better.

It's very interesting. Psychology is the only thing I find fascinating desu but it's not what I'm pursuing
