How long before someone makes a bomb using antimatter? CERN's BASE experiment actually carried antimatter using a fucking truck for kilometers. It's easy to transport them using cryogenics but in the wider sense, strapping a small truck to a bomber plane should not be hard for any modern army.I have read a friend's thesis on this experiment and the ion trap they used. I think it will be easy to implement as a bomb given you can produce large quantities of this matter. Maybe that's the limiting factor? >inb4 usa is already doing it

is there any hope for computational neuroscience?pic unrelated, rats colon
Yes, if your hopes are reasonable i.e. limited. No, if you are hoping for it to actually simulate a brain, intelligence, abstract thought etc.

It seems that much of the world is still underpopulated and the quality of a lot of land is set to improve which will require extra people to settle the newly viable land.Where do you think the population will come from to settle the newly empty land?
>>16986433These countries are not underpopulated, places like China and India are overpopulated. What you are suggesting is that these counties destroy their environment (as well as social cohesion and quality of life) to support more third worlders.
>>16992367Germany and japan are well balanced grown up countries.Canada, america and Australia are resource gathering underpopulated countries
>>16992367>What you are suggesting is that these counties destroy their environmentThey already do and get nothing out of it. They can't even do protect endangered populations that well versus many thirdie states because lobbyists quash any attempt at maintaining them.>(as well as social cohesion and quality of life) to support more third worlders.Why do you hyperfocus on that? Most states like Canada/US/America have the bad combo of no real attempt at doing reform while also fucking up their environment so they basically are doing the worst of both worlds.

Radfag student back with another object: iron ore. I just smashed it with a sledgehammer a bit ago, then picked through the pieces and found some with the metallic iron visible and brushed the areas with mineral oil. I'm about to get my microscope out and get a better look at the sections.My god, did it turn into a busy day with E.R. patients after imaging this rock. I'm tired.

Why is 3/3 equal to 1?Ok, so 1/3 is 0.33333 forever. 2/3 is 0.6666 forever. So, if that's the case, why is 3/3=1 and not 0.99999 forever? Where does the last little bit get added to 3/3 to have it equal 1?
>>16991740But maybe... maybe you found a zero day exploit in reality and until math gets patched, we can.. turn numbers into slightly smaller numbers? Like when you go to a casino and can reliably turn a pile of money into a smaller pile of money.
>>169923009x9 is the same as 9x.9, dumbfuck, no matter how many 9s you put there it will never be 9, axiomatically stating that x=.999.. and then magically turning x into 1 two lines later is a perfect example why 0.999..=1 dogmatists are braindead retards
>>16991740because [math]3 \neq 0[/math] and thus [math]3^{-1}[/math] is the multiplicative inverse of [math]3[/math] which, by definition, requires [math]3 \cdot 3^{-1} = 1[/math]
The little bit leftover approaches zero and at infinity, is zero
>>169917403/3 = (3 x 1) / (3 x 1) = 1/1 = 1

What does it even mean being conscious? We are simply alive by being a collection of biomolecules but how does that even work? If we arrange another system with the exact same components and configuration, we will not be alive, why?
>>16990684Well, consciousness is the act of being conscious. Its an action. Observation awareness is the common sense understanding of awareness. The ability to observe and recount that observation. When you get knocked out, you lose that consciousness as you have no ability to recount the event after losing consciousness. Same thing with general sleep. But also excluding dreams.And through the recounting of our observations, we can understand all things in life. All things possible to us are through this consciousness process.Then there is also the more esoteric claim that consciousness exist beyond the body due to the nature of how consciousness becomes the "filter" for knowing everything, the very notion of knowing others give a sense that we do not need the knowledge of others, when the primary axiom is just the process of knowing. Which many people say, is "The Knower" (the soul, the selfhood, the god). Thus discarding the world/physical body/universe, infavor of this Knower that is independent existence.However the key confusion for this claim is that the consciousness is always a process and never a separate thing by itself. And thus the very idea of a separate self or soul or "the Knower", outside of the process of the object that is being reported by the process of conscious activity, is not sustainable. The foundational axiom isn't "the consciousness" its the process of consciousness with relation to the observation. We can recant what the object is, but never what the "knower" is. There are mistakes made in identifying this "knower" as "memories" or as the body itself or as the name of the person, or even the relationship the person has, or the combination of it or some even claim to be ghosts inhabiting bodies that can move through one body to another, but these dont account for "the knower" that sits outside of the observation. Those are just mislabelings used as evidence of this separate entity that which sits at the axiomatic stage
>>16990684The basic sensation of being a human. Might as well ask a bird of prey "what is 'swoop down and eat rat?'"However, philosophers have mortgages so its "a truly incomprehensible mystery!"
>>16990684You're asking the question incorrectly, because you're trying to figure out why you have a point of view centered in the body you're in and not in another one.Its like the Star Trek transporter problem, where the transporter teleports people by making exact clones and destroying the original. It wouldn't actually transfer the "pilot" consciousness into the new form.
>>16990684consciousness as far as the external physical world is concerned does not exist. All observations you can ever possibly make will never detect this "consciousness".Also to further clarify something. All meaningful knowledge is based within our shared external reality. Even though I am sure of the existence of my own consciousness, it exists only inside my own mind, its not part of the external shared world.
>>16990684Any noun with the suffix -ness is a descriptive word, reified. Except to Plato, "it" doesn't exist.

>Science board>Nobody here "believes" in ScienceLol.
naturalists are constantly pretending that the naturalist that came before them are retarded superstitious morons and that they have the actual truth for sure this time.Science is only useful to religious people who are fine with its utility and dont need it to produce a complete explanation for everything for them, they already have one of those. Thats how you get people clinging to increasingly shoddy models by inventing more and more unverifiable speculative explanations to keep the math working, which is fine if you just want to calculate something, but its not fine if you cant accept that the reality the calculations describe is probably just a complete fiction that people in a few hundred years will laugh at anyone for believing.
>>16993074I don't know of any truth produced by a philosopher. None.
prove science and logic are real without appealing to science or logics (which would be circular reasoning and thus invalid)
>>16993095that's why rationalism is gay, embrace empirical knowledge
>>16993095>proveSo, you already accept logic. Nice self-defeating argument.The fact that you are asking for proof implies that you have epistemic norms for such proof, and therefore use logic yourself. You concede the argument by making it.

How do these UFOs fly around? Don't UFO's suggest that a Superfluid Vacuum or BEC vacuum is real? Possible theories or a comboUse a superconducting Josephson Junction Stack of by bismuth, magnesium, zinc and maybe silicon at 4 nm to emit high field strength electromagnetic waves to separate the craft from the BEC, dropping the craft into a lower vacuum energy state, freeing the craft from relative gravity, inertia and mass. Use a metamaterial that contains the wave within the skin of the craft but essentially does the same thing. Use a coherent plasma lattice to separate the craft from the BEC like ball lighting or EVOs. All three could possibly do the same thing, and interestingly matches descriptions of different UFO crafts.

Your intellectual superiors have accepted AI why haven't you?>AI has really been um improving very rapidly. It allows me to experiment. I will try crazier things. I can vibe on the blackboard and then if there's a computation that neither of us want to do, we can just get our AI tool to finish that. I [music] can search literature much more accurately and effectively than I could before. So, I'm doing way more AI assisted mathematics and and collaborative projects. And now, I think it's ready for prime time.>We lived in a world of cognitive friction until very recently where every task required us to use our brain [music] and so we didn't really think about it. We just thought this was the cost of doing something intellectual. But now we have AI and the other technology that can bring these frictions down to zero. I hope when AI usage becomes more common place, people will also post not just their final product but all the different paths they used to [music] get there because that's also very useful information. I think we can find some way to have the best of both worlds.
