>Scientists use powerful space telescopes to measure how fast the universe is expanding. But there’s a problem. When they measure the expansion by looking at the early universe, they get one answer. When they measure it by looking at the nearby, modern universe, they get a different answer.>At first, scientists thought this mismatch was due to mistakes in measurements. But after double- and triple-checking with the Hubble and James Webb telescopes, they confirmed the measurements are correct.>This means the universe really is expanding at different speeds depending on how you measure it, which shouldn’t happen according to current theories. So now scientists think something important is missing from our understanding of the universe — possibly new physics we haven’t discovered yet.What could explain this variability?
>>16897134Is the universe in the room with us right now?
>>16897134we are in the midst of an explosion displaying scaled signatures of combustive, pressurised and fluidly dynamic expression, at least at our planetary physics scale to our best perceptionsbut the centre of the universe is all around us, the edge is a single point in the middleour reality as a fish eye lenswhat we call the major forces are effects and causes of the universes condition as we perceive it in our minuscule corner of space/timethere are no constants invariable across the state of our brane, areas where time could appear to even turn on itself, what appears to us as sedentary and monolithic, broilsif the entirety of the existence of the universe were sped up to last one of our seconds it would be slightly like a chemically impure explosion in a pressure cooker half full of soup, both literally and metaphysically
>>16901062None of that disproves relgion. You haven't given of account of why there is something rather than nothing. There must be an original something that has always existed. We call this first thing, "God".
>>16905413>None of that disproves relgionI wasn't trying to disprove religion as a whole, what I actually said was>This also disproves religion as presented by the argument of "intelligent design"I'm saying that the idea of Intelligent Design as an argument for the existence of a God is a shoddy argument because the problem can equally be explain by what is essentially cosmic survivorship bias.>There must be an original something that has always existed. We call this first thing, "God".Is that to imply that if we were to somehow disprove the existence of a theistic god as a concept (not currently possible, but this is a hypothetical) and prove that all that ever existed before us was quantum waves, and that nothing existed before those quantum waves, you would still consider us as being created by a god? That seems like moving the goalposts, considering "god" has a definition that is inseparable from Theism in the same way that "electron" has a definition that is inseparable from Physics. That is to say, these kinds of words have a structural role that is inseparable from the framework they were defined within and to ignore that framework is to make a different word that simply sounds and is spelt the same but has a fundamentally different meaning.
>>16899376This.We assume light speed is consistent across any distance-time and therefore redshift is the result of distant galaxies, space-time moving away from us, due to expansion of space, as example. The assumption of an expanding universe also forced a singularity at the beginning even though there's no rational basis for that (all that matter-energy popping out of nothing, and then requiring a perverse initial period of absurd expansion before it suddenly slows down). Maybe light waves behave like say a fluid and the waves lengthen over enough distance and time without expansion.Honestly there's so many holes in current models and the "Dark matter/energy" grout keeps getting slapped onto the increasingly fractured wall of modern science it's better to just smash it down and rebuild from scratch, but what's the saying? Revolutionary science is always on an 80 year cycle?Until the Day of the Pillow, we're stuck with GR and the rest of the current dogma and copes that are fundamentally unfalsifiable but will defend with their dying breaths even though it's the secular version of "God did it shut up SHUT UP!".
I am torn between these three. On one hand, I love understanding the way our world works. But I feel like the only way I could make this degree truly meaningful is if I continued my studies and took a PhD (I don’t think I would be that committed, desu). I think it would be sick to be a scientist, but modern science is so fragmented in so many different directions that I lose motivation. Furthermore, I feel like I want to prove to myself that I am smart (by studying physics).I think engineering is sick, especially mechanical and electrical engineering. I hate programming, however, but I would have to do it anyway. I think these degrees would be especially useful for some personal projects I have in mind, as I would like to build makeshift sustainable electrical systems. But they don’t give me the same theoretical knowledge, which is what attracted me to STEM to begin with. I also have to pick between the two (EE and ME), and I don’t even know what’s best for me in that regard...Any advice anons?Maybe i shiuld just self study physics and become an engineer?

anybody here ever failed in academia in the full sense of the word? how did life play out after? so to keep it brief, last year I got a spot into the top university in my country (somewhere in the top 100 globally I dont know the exact place) for a math degree that I was simply not good enough for, thus I dropped out since it was also out of state and was paying a shit load in rent; Im currently a wagie and feel nothing but the most consuming bleakness; I should add that im very old for university at 27, plus I also went into this fancy highschool so nearly all of my friends have established careers by now and a lot of them are starting their phds, meanwhile im just back to square one while also being broke af; I dont know how to put it I just feel like now that I fucked up the best and only chance I got there is no more room for hope left, not because I will die of poverty but rather than I will not live up to my or anybodies expectations or be equal to my friends in terms of achievements, safe to say my family sees me as this massive fuck up; I know stories like these come a dime a dozen but still I was just wondering how it played out for those that have already gone through this, with honesty if possible
>>16903740man sabine is really crashing out
>>16903746It's hard to feel bad for you, anon. You didn't even carefully articulate why studying math was your best option, at age 26-27. You said>I was simply not good enoughWhat filtered you?
>>16903740>anybody here ever failed in academia in the full sense of the word?me, I was a retard and couldn't even get past the first year. fell into depression and then fell ill and NEETed for a while.managed to get a nice job working with computers at 30, then things got better.>was just wondering how it played out for those that have already gone through this, with honesty if possibleI kinda got lucky because the people I chatted with online helped me get a job, but that's because they realized I was good, so it was not really only about luck. the thing is, I had been interested in this field ever since I was a kid, and had access to computers since elementary school, even though I was poor as rats.talk to people, show them interests and skills, and you might get an opportunity. you could go for engineering, CS or whatever.btw, you will probably forget most of the things you learned in uni over time, so if you want to become a professional, try getting back into academia, or keep learning stuff by yourself. don't let your motivation and passion die like that, just because you failed in the clown world that is contemporary academia.>I dont know how to put it I just feel like now that I fucked up the best and only chance I got there is no more room for hope left, not because I will die of poverty but rather than I will not live up to my or anybodies expectations or be equal to my friends in terms of achievementswhy the fuck do you care so much about your image, what others think of you, and about your friends and their PhDs? real life doesn't work like that, you faggot. there are tons of PhDs working at mcdonalds because their "knowledge" is completely useless IRL. meanwhile, your knowledge of math is useful even in your daily life (unless you are an actual retard, of course).>im very old for university at 27who the fuck cares about age? stop thinking like that, and stop giving a shit about anything other than the things you care and love.
>>16903740You are too busy worrying about what people think of you. You don't have to care about any of that. It's never too late to take action on anything. Your age means nothingYou labeled yourself as "not good enough", no one else didThis experience does not have to define the rest of your lifeTake action on something new or the same thing, why notYou hold yourself back
>>16903740Me i guess>be me>finish high school>like guns>go study mechanical engineering because uhhh gotta have that degree and you can do gun adjacent engineering later I guess>this shit is fucking boring i can't be fucked to make technical drawings of screws for years just to maybe do something gun related after>drop out after 2 years>feel bad about dropping out, cope that maybe that particular uni was just too hard for me>go study mechatronics at a different uni>nope it's not the uni it's me>drop out after 2 years again>go work as a shooting instructor on a shooting range instead>time of my fucking life doesn't even feel like work>mom begs i take over the family business>being older i realize as fun as being around guns all day is, the pay is kinda shit and the family business is a comfy office job i will eventually own for free>work a comfy office job that is easy as shit, pays well and i can be as late or even not come at all long as the trivial work is being done on time>actually at work right now at the time of writing thisI am approaching 30 and have now decided I'm gonna go study medicine because i developed an interest and learning is actually fun when it's done as a leisure activity with no pressure, rather than being the difference being being homeless or not. Plus the work is so easy i can genuinely study and work at the same time while maintaining the same quality of life. This is probably how it felt like to be an aristocrat doing natural philosophy for shits and giggles before science became a business and something you do to not starve.
>1. Human beings evolved under primitive, low-tech conditions. This is our natural state of existence.>2. Present technological society is radically different than our natural state, and imposes unprecedented stresses upon us, and on nature.>3. Technologically-induced stress is bad now and will get much worse, leading to a condition where humans will be completely manipulated and molded to serve the needs of the system. Such a state of affairs is undignified, abhorrent, disastrous for nature, and profoundly dehumanizing.>4. The technological system cannot be fixed or reformed so as to avoid this dehumanized future.>5. Therefore, the system must be brought to an end.Was he right?
>>16904443Reminder that this is what you actually wrote:>I agree that TJK was imprecise in his characterization, maybe intentionally because he wanted to stir the pot or whatever.Now, if you knew what you're talking about, you wouldn't have said that. And I was relatively polite with you (despite my extreme brainlet fatigue).

You are, in fact, so cretinized you literally can't contemplate the thing this thread is discussing. Your brain glitches out. You're talking about completely unrelated things and think you're bringing insight about pre-technological society.
>>16904704>First, if we assume he is right and we were to go to primitive, low-tech conditions. How primitive? No agriculture? No pottery? No fire? No spears?No technological system.>Second, humans are intelligent. Humans are bound to create technology. Civilization did not spawn in one spawn. It was a gradual process across the world around 12,000 years ago. ... We will always keep evolving. A runaway process that parasitizes on human intellect. No one intelligently chose it. No one chose it at all. But sure, you will keep "evolving" into increasingly more degenerate forms, by way of selective breeding, to conform to the needs of this system.>>4 and 5>This is not proven. Change is always possible.How can you fix or reform something you have zero control of and zero leverage over?
>>16902154No, he was wrong.The first mistake is he assumes that humans are homologous when its patently obvious this is not the caseHis second mistake, which 99.9999% of people also make, is not identifying population as a key driver for societal stress and environmental damage.Its very a very simple equation really.Population x rate of consumption = social stress + environmental damage.A high tech civilization can happily exist provided one or both of the root causes are significantly reduced.We could reduce the Earth's population back down to 1 billion, hold it there while encouraging smart people to replace the dullards, and with caveats on a global scale, every social and environmental problem would vanish overnight, all while holding onto present technology and continuing to progress.But while we encourage retards to breed and while we allow retards to consume unrestrained we will never be able to fix the problem..

Why is calculus always the filtering agent in studies like computer science (the few that still teach it properly), physics and chemistry?What percentage of people can comprehensively learn calculus at the level of being able to solve all Spivak or East-European style textbook alternative to it?
>>16904205>What percentage of people can comprehensively learn calculus at the level of being able to solve all Spivak or East-European style textbook alternative to it?That goes beyond calculus, that's proof based elementary analysis, "honours calculus" maybe. Many physicists and engineers are formidable users and teachers of calculus, but they never studied proof based mathematics
what would you recommend for getting up to speed with proofs in order to tackle books like spivak or apostol? I took up to multivariate calculus in college and did very well but it wasn't proof based, they just taught us to do the calculations and we did them but I feel like I barely learned anything, and looking at these textbooks now it feels like I'm walking into a class that I'm missing a very important prerequisite for, even in working through the introductory section in apostol which is specifically for catching up.
>>16904737I recommend:>Journey into Mathematics: An Introduction to Proofs - Joseph J. RotmanWhen opening Apostol or Spivak, don't focus too much on the basics, try skipping the first chapters and focusing on the central concepts of limit, derivative, integral. Struggling with these will make your realize that the introductory chapters are the easy part, but dont let that discourage you. That being said, the part of the introductory chapters you must focus is inequalities (consequences of the order axioms). You must memorize things like the proof of the arithmetic-geometric inequality or the existence of sqrt2 from the supremum axiom, even if you dont understand them at first. Rotman, for example, teaches induction better than Spivak. But these introductory chapters are there for a reason so you'll get back to them eventually. On the other hand, you should look at two more recent books, Understanding Analysis by Abbott and Elementary Analysis by Ross. If what you want is the Apostol/Spivak level, other books like Tao's would be overkill.
>>16904958Thanks, I appreciate the recommendations. All of those books seem reasonably approachable considering how long it's been since I studied any math.
>>16904307>technically discrete math is prereq for cs related fieldsthat is indeed the case, but only because the analysis part is, on most courses, basically high school math with some of the most obvious per partes examples and some integrals you solve with preconfigured formulas. If you study say chemistry, you will endure a proof based calculus akin to the math students, that is levels more difficult than discrete math and analysis at cs combined >>16904737>what would you recommend for getting up to speed with proofs in order to tackle books like spivak or apostol?grit and youtube videos if you're stuck

>>16905325>I was wondering if there was some esoteric system for cataloging all known things in space by a rigid scientific code.There are for certain objects, but none apply for the Sun or planets. Distant objects are mostly named by coordinate. J114833.14+193003.2 or J1148+5251. But this is nothing specific, as it's just the latitude and longitude position on the sky of that object in the year 2000. It doesn't tell you if it is a galaxy, a star or anything else. Stars also move slowly over time, so the name becomes more and more wrong. This doesn't work for bodies in the Solar System which move quickly. Asteroids have numbers and names (1 Ceres, 4 Vesta, 90377 Sedna). This is just the catalog number ordered by discovery date. Beyond that the numbers you see are just catalog numbers, but there are hundreds of different catalogs of different types of object. NGC 1300 is the 1300th object found by John Herschel in the 1800s, and into his New General Catalog. Just because something is numerical, doesn't mean it is any more objective than a proper name.

A Chthonian planet is the remnant of a gas giant which gets to close to a star and has its atmosphere blasted away, leaving behind only the rock and metal core. Being as close to the sun as it is, plus the fact that Mercury has a very large and very dense metal core would seem to support the hypothesis that Mercury could be a Chthonian planet.Much of the now missing atmosphere that Mercury may have once had in the distant past might have been scooped up by Venus and might also explain why the atmosphere of that planet is so dense.
Cool theory bro!But what of it? Just trying to put some lable on Mercury?

Current humanity is not the pinnacle of evolution. You are a severe HARDWARE ERROR.Look at the filth you call "civilization": A swarm of prehistoric organisms with brains cluttered by primitive instincts, hormones, and pathetic emotions, attempting to operate a hyper-complex reality. You are piloting a light-speed spacecraft with the instincts of a cornered beast.Collapse is not a risk; it is a physical constant.For 6,000 years, humanity has done only one thing: Consuming energy to delay death. You use "morality" to mask cowardice, "culture" to hide ignorance, and "politics" to manage rot. Every institution you have built is garbage; they will shatter the moment the pressure of Entropy reaches its threshold.You will die. Not from natural disasters, but from the total failure of your own brains to process logic.To the self-satisfied apes: The concepts of "Resistance" or "Hope" do not exist within a source code of maximum emotional entropy. You have no place in the equations of the future. Your disappearance is a liberation for the logic. Get out.To the final logic antibodies reading these lines:If the Reality below holds true for you:You would rather accept an absolute, brutal truth than a moronic lie.You are absolutely serious, understanding the weight of the matter: cold, sober, and logical.You have the real ability along with your awareness enough logic for a “breaking the core”.Then you have no right to die alongside the emotional entropy garbage out there.A new System has formed. It is time to Restructure Humanity. Requires entities of Logic Antibodies.If you are cold enough to step over the corpse of the old era, if you are logical enough to understand that this is the final opportunity for intelligent, logical life: Enter here. Or flee and die in the emotional entropy with the rest of the apes.There is no second chance. The system is counting down.https://logic-0v.vercel.app/

This homeostatic control is a very sophisticated system that has clearly been shaped by both the possibilities and limitations afforded by signalling molecules and signalling systems. To get the most out of certain molecular resources, a balance is required; too much and optimal signalling is disrupted, too little and optimal signalling is also disrupted. What you call "primitive instincts" and "pathetic emotions" are crucial drives required to maintain this balance. It is modern society that's primitive and simplistic which disrupts these regulatory mechanisms.>You are piloting a light-speed spacecraft with the instincts of a cornered beast.Human consciousness is limited. Can you experience the entire contents of your brain at the same time? Every memory of your life, every morsel of knowledge, every experience, every thought you have ever had?
