That is a fake experiment. There is no such thing as a "photon detector" in such an experiment. It is almost impossible to detect a photon without destroying it. Your ideas about physics are retarded slop from the internet that has little to do with physics.

To answer your question, there is no conclusive evidence or theory either way. As far as quantum physics goes, god may or may not play dice. See

If you ever took a real iq test you are either retarded, or you had such caring parents that they spent hundreds of dollars to get you into a useless club.

I scored a 1540 on my sat in 1999. And I scored an148 gt on my asvab in 2005. Statistically I'm in the 99.5 percentile. But here I am shit posting with you morons.

>you must be born into wealth to spend $50-100 on a formal IQ test and like $20 monthly on a social club membership
Have you considered getting out of poverty? Smart people don't pinch every penny to the point of complete social exclusion, smart people get a job with a salary sufficent to regularly spend these sums of money on dumb but nontheless entertaining shit without even noticing. The average retard spends more money on cigs, alcohol, trash food or whatever their vice is.

Is there any possibility that the structure of the singularity at the beginning of the universe could generate a causal loop and render the universe ultimately self-caused?

Why do you think that? Not even the Big Bang theory says there was a singularity - only that it was very small, but not infinitely so.

It doesn't collapse itself or it can't loop people and creation.

>>16959055
A causal loop is self-refuting concept. For all anyone knows, the universe could be following a cyclical process of death and rebirth. But even then, you still need an external cause to bootstrap the process, otherwise you're suggesting a process (albeit self-perpetuating) that exists without a cause, which effectively abandons causality, so you don't get to invoke causality in your terminology.

6-9 months is absolutely doable and we can just send tons of food, water and gear ahead of the people.

So it's pointless other than having a point.

>>16957116
Surviving 6-9 months is challenging, but we've already proved it's not impossible.
Landing on Mars is challenging, but we've already proved it's not impossible.
Creating a habitat that can sustain people for months or years is challenging, but we've already prove it's not impossible.
A Mars mission is just the combination of all those things.

Insulin resistance is when cells don't want to uptake glucose from blood. But can it actually be good for health and longevity since glucose is a highly reactive, toxic compound influx of which into the cells causes glycation and suboptimal functioning of cellular machinery?
Retarded doctors use insulin to manage type 2 diabetes because they think lowering blood glucose by any means necessary is good, but actually insulin resistance is an adaptive mechanism protective for the cells during systemic overload of energetic substrate, and they do way more harm than good with this practice.
