But flat earthers are right, they just leave out a few minor details.
You see the Earth is a cylinder. The part we live on is a flat end of the cylinder. On the opposite end of the cylinder is another flat earth.
The same goes with all the planets, the moon, and the sun. They are all cylinders too, but because they are pointing towards us we just see the circular end of their cylinders.
>so we could just step over the edge of flat earth and then slide all the way to the other end of the cylinder, where we would then find opposite earth?
Well yes in theory, but it would take an infinite amount of time as all cylinders are infinitely lone. That's why space is infinite. Has to have enough room to fit in all the cylinders.

Did you even read the post you replied to?
It wasn't just a unreasoned thought, it was explicitly demonstrated how math is an extension of logic and logic is an extension of philosophy since philosophy is the discipline of describing thought, logic is the discipline of describing thought with structure, and math is the displine of describing thought with structures of scale.

99.9999% maths is obtain from the axioms of ZFC and a sequence of very simple inferences (of the kind "if A -> B and A are theorems then B also is").
The rest 0.0001% is specialized logic (type stuff, linear logic whatever)

What they fail to understand is this is a question of design, not physics.

Portals are just wormholes, there is no length of space between the yellow portal and blue portal. take the window/door analogy, if the window/door was approaching you, you don't get yeeted outwards. The only effect of the speed at which the portal is moving is how fast you materialize on the other end. The obvious answer is A.

>Humans actually have the biggest dicks of all primates
Do you know why because the reason is hilarious? It has direct relation to humans beginning to walk upright. The more upright we got the more the female clit was exposed thereby creating a much higher libido in female humans. Thus male humans with the biggest dicks were naturally selected to satisfy (more like TRY to satisfy) the new upright-clit-exposed whore females. If we had never evolved to walking upright female humans would have never become nymphos who can't ever get enough big dick and our species would be far more advanced today. All the male humans would still have tiny dicks but we likely have gone interstellar by now. It's hilarious fun factoid that is not widely known, yet.
>>
>>16810461
in all seriousness penis size is how well the mates couple together and how much reach is needed. Upright fucking requires a longer penis. Female selection probably wasnt a big factor because male offspring was about social power or rape. If you are genhis khan you can have a baby dick, if you are rich you can have a baby dick. If you are a rapist, etc

>>16810461

Classically we beieved there existed small ampere currents in magnetic material which were so aligned not to cancel out as in most materials and instead it alligned in scuh a way where it produces a magnetic field.

Nowadays, QM says it has something to do with spin or something I dunno. Best answer is we don't really know we just have okay models.

Well you are a single organism made of tons of organisms. You are more so the bacteria in your body than you are your body. Study biology.

no. you're right that dipole-dipole interactions are tiny, but ferromagnetism comes from the interchange interaction, which couples spin and not orbital angular momentum.

Yes, the richest hedge funds hiring the top math geniuses have been, for decades.
You are not gonna beat them.
If you are smart you can go work there and make bank.
But there is a huge wage discrepancy between the top ones and mid ones.
Top ones is literally millions tiers, because they are the ones setting the market through your math, and influencing everyone's money.
Mid ones is just average STEM salary, cause they are kind of irrelevant.
>>
>>16809909
>You are not gonna beat them.
Prediction markets are a relatively new type of market (in terms of volume and liquidity, not as a concept). There's no significant presence from top hedge funds yet, so there are still plenty of inefficiencies to capture.
Also, the "you are never going to beat them so don't even try" advice is so tired and worn out at this point, and only true if you're attempting to stat arb trade options or some other gigaboomer market that's been around for the last 35 years. At the same time, 4chinners can't resist mentally gooning by blackpillslop posting about how nothing really matters and nothing is ever worth doing, so posts like this are to be expected and have no inherent value.

So according to that physicist on Joe Rogan, distances shrink as you achieve certain speeds.

My question is will the distance keep shrinking and getting closer and closer the faster you go like half the distance to the goal line repeating forever... or can you go so fast that you enter into negative distance like you go so fast that you get there before you leave like out of phase with reality or whatever?
>>
>>16810122
Currently accepted models say the closer you get to the speed of light, the smaller the distances become for you. According to the math of these models the distanced can get arbitrarily small but not 0.
>>
>>16810122
Its more like with decent speed a distance is 6000km - for you - but with a sizable Fraction of the speed of light the distance is suddenly just 4000km - for you
>>
>>16810178
no it becomes exactly 0 because physicists today believe infinities exist
>>
>>16810334
No they use infinities as an abstraction to describe limiting behavior and you're too retarded to know the difference
