Has anyone here read the CTMU?
People discount it as garbage but have yet to give any valid criticism.

>In response to the only valid criticisms I've seen:

>muh neologisms

Langan has to invent words seeing as he's describing concepts that have never been thought of before.

>no maths

From what I understand his theory is entirely tautological and worked out without extensive equations.

>dismissed by modern science as a farce

He has this pretension that he's better than others and claims academia to be a club that he is not part of. In essence, he's blacklisted, so it's probable that if that were true, it has something to do with it. Seeing the modern academic circle jerk to be biased or exclusive to some degree, is not a new perspective.

Overall I would like to see someone offer valid criticism. You can download the entire thing on his megafoundation website by searching CTMU.

This is just another example of how the public is negligent of science.
On a youtube channel that is payed by taxes, some feminist in Germany actually talked about this study, but marginalized it and said that it was discontinued because of small things like headaches and gained weight.

It's interesting altogether but some findings made me especially curious:

>6 men discontinued for the following single reasons: acne, pain or panic at first injection, palpitations, hypertension, and erectile dysfunction
>There was 1 death by suicide
>1 case of depression
>1 case of intentional paracetamol overdose
>1 case of tachycardia with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation

She obviously ignored these findings to support her claim. This is just the tip of the iceberg, seeing that basically everything she says is somewhat false.
How the fuck can something like this be payed by taxes?


Vid if anyone is interested

If a large pharmaceutical company discontinues a product, you can rely on it being very bad for your health.
Such companies don't pass on profits for petty reasons like headaches and weight gain.

Why isn't language genetically encoded into a person's DNA? Has it just not had enough time to be set through evolution? Could our species eventually have an intuitive understanding of communication with minimal to no intervention of environment factors?

>>9142151
The evolution of languages is probably too fast for the evolution of the human. Maybe if our languages degenerate to a point, where mutations (and combinations) of it don't have a big impact. But the language would probably be "animal-like", with what we indeed are already born with (loughing, crying, sounds of pain, sounds of joy etc.).
>>
>>9142151
Culture is a basically the next level of genetics because it allows of evolution at a much quicker timescale. We don't need to homogenize a population to have claws if one person can make a spear and teach everyone else to.

To humans, TIME is obviously a very different dimension than space or charge.
Simply put, it never *is* but instead it is always felt in another thing that *is*, like space or charge

We know that time and space are related as second has meaning only when compared to spatial measurements
We also know that charge and space are related as mass causes curvature in space and mass moves in space

But in mathematics, does time-dimension truly have any special properties? Doesn't it always behave in exactly the same way any spatial dimension would behave?

>TIME is obviously...

No it isn't you knucklehead. Time doesn't exist, what you would call time is nothing more than a magnitude of energy from our understanding. The only thing we know about time is that it's a human contrivance to keep track of events, nothing more. If it behaved like a spacial dimension like ours it would seek pressure mediation and equilibrium, time would reverse and speed up in different parts of the universe based on how "unequal" it is in other parts.

>space is a thing that does something

Space has no properties and acts on nothing, it does not exist. Prove me wrong and tell me what "Space" is made of.

and why do you want two degrees, are you that insecure

Only do that if you can't afford another year.

Even if you couldnt afford it it would prob be a better move to get a job and space out your classes instead of going pure math. It might satisfy your autism but there are fewer jobs there.

>>9141698
Just fill your last year with graduate courses, electives, or do a senior thesis if you can afford it, if not stop being poor.

I don't think it's stored in a depository, but is part of a vast underground network which can flood new lava into the system. More research needed, but I think

>"For the first time, we have imaged the continuous volcanic plumbing system under Yellowstone," first author Hsin-Hua Huang, also a postdoctoral researcher in geology and geophysics, is quoted by a University of Utah statement as saying. "That includes the upper crustal magma chamber we have seen previously plus a lower crustal magma reservoir that has never been imaged before and that connects the upper chamber to the Yellowstone hotspot plume below."

>"But now a second, much larger reservoir of partially molten rock has been discovered by researchers at the University of Utah. There's enough magma inside, they say, to fill the Grand Canyon more than 11 times."

"Contrary to popular perception, the magma chamber and magma reservoir are not full of molten rock. Instead, the rock is hot, mostly solid and sponge-like, with pockets of molten rock within it. Huang says the new study indicates the upper magma chamber averages about 9 percent molten rock — consistent with earlier estimates of 5 percent to 15 percent melt — and the lower magma reservoir is about 2 percent melt.
"So there is about one-quarter of a Grand Canyon worth of molten rock within the much larger volumes of either the magma chamber or the magma reservoir, [postdoctoral researcher and co-author Jamie] Farrell says."

So you'd have to siphon rock also, which I'm sure's not going to happen. Maybe try a crane system and make a HUGE mountain out of the extracted material. Holy shit that would be epic
