To use MathJaX, put your TeX code between [ math ] ... [ /math ] tags for inline equations or [ eqn ] ... [ /eqn ] tags for block equations.

[eqn]\zeta(s) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n^s} = \frac{1}{\Gamma(s)}\int_0^{\infty} \frac{x^{s - 1}}{e^x - 1} \mathrm dx[/eqn]

singularities don't exist, they're mathematical expressions of some limit. singularities are just infinities that mean "wrong answer". are you really this stupid? did you even look up anything before posting? no of course not.
>>
>>16894065
It wouldn't look like anything. It would be too small to measure even.

The reason things have a "look" when you look at them is because they reflect or emit light, which is not something a singularity can do. If you take away the event horizon and the black hole surrounding the singularity, then it would be completely invisible.

Panspermia is unironically their best shot because life is completely alien to the material reductionist position. There could be a chemistry out there unlike anything that is known which makes life more likely. But it isn't merely panspermia. It is some alien race came from panspermia and with its knowledge created at least a second-order life which mimics their chemistry in the terms of the proteins in terrestrial life.
You will have a hard time finding them admitting to this because it is bad optics.

Just because two things are indistinguishable does not mean they are not themselves.
If you and another is indistinguishable in everyway, are you still not you and they them?

>Just because two things are indistinguishable
>Two things
You've undermined the notion that you're really talking about two things, by first leaving the realm of physical concreteness and then claiming there's no difference between your "two things". Abstractly, if two things share every property, they are actually the same thing described twice.

You are confusing modelling with reality.
If there are two indistinguishable people, doesn't matter how you can substitute things on paper, that's still two separate people in actual reality.

I'm not confusing anything with anything. You simply deny yourself any basis to assert there are two things.

Anyone else think the "stay in school" genes actually have nothing to do with intelligence or IQ whatsoever? They keep being touted in genome wide association studies as proxies for intelligence, which I feel is horseshit. If anything most of these genes probably have something to do with emotional regulation or lower anxiety levels, where someone can stay inactive at a desk like an NPC and not be attacked with existential thoughts or feel like they need more physical activity. Basically the stay in school genes are actually NPC letzte mensch genes where you're less likely to feel anything. I personally ran my own autosomal file through the GWAS study Ed Dutton and Michael Woodly used to gauge the intelligence of ancient Romans and came "below average" in both polygenic intelligence and years of schooling even though I came 98th percentile on my country's version of the SATs, have a confirmed IQ of 140 on an in person test, got into an accelerated learning program through a standardised test and my dad is an ex Uni lecturer, so I frankly think the entire field is mostly statistical pseudoscience ATP

>actually NPC letzte mensch genes
This is me. This is why I have so many fields of study under my belt, I (have) literally attend lectures while reading papers on entirely different fields, between gym sessions or video game matches or shitposts or writting papers in my head and psychically throwing them at the world. Im the "Last Ubermensch". Im not a playable character, as natural clones of everyone exist but not me specifically, as my clones are untermensch like everyone else.

Its not entirely "Gene" related, the part that is isnt relevent to this or you in any way. You have a materialist mindset, a focus on chemical chains inside of you that determine who you are...its a sickness that festers itself into malaise. That mindset limits you and becomes a self fulfilling prophecy of learned (conditioned) helplessness.

Stop being easy on yourself, externalizing resposibility IS the easy path...and one that will leave you empty and broken...and that is beneficial to idiotic Psychopaths who enjoy electrocuting peculiar little kids.

Theyre still around and love positions of power like "reseach expert".

Mostly from nurses, as the doctors have a more rigorous labor to attend to, but not always. M.D. requires a certain level of Sociopathy that can be a kind of "dark attactor" energy source.

The apathy to suffering was very apparent across the board though. Too many fakers not punished and now the genuine are ignored outright.

Empathy to the disgenuine is a later crime against the innocent.

This is a bit of a silly question about a very simple mathematical formula, but I wondered whether some Anons familiar with the history of mathematics knew more about it.

The formula in question is Heron's formula.
That formula gives the area of a triangle in terms of a square root of a product of FOUR lengths. Now, the conventional wisdom is that the Ancient Greeks had no idea that there could be more than three dimensions; but if they considered the product of four lengths, they had been dealing with the "hypervolume" of some four-dimensional object, albeit only en passant in order to take its square root and find a two-dimensional area.

So do you think that the Ancient Greeks had some inkling of higher dimensions? How else could they have even considered the possibility of discovering Heron's formula in the first place otherwise? A product of four length makes no sense unless you accept the idea of higher dimensions.

Guy, there's a square root on the outside. Square rooting a 4d object gives you 2d, cause area is 2d length x width

>How hard is the math GRE?
Hard is relative. The math GRE exists to sort the top performers. It’s there to help admissions departments decide who goes to MIT or Princeton, and who’s relegated to the University of Michigan. If you’re applying to schools that don’t even require it, the math GRE is impossibly hard. If you’re in the thick of elite competition, it’s just another test to prepare for.
