So a year ago or so i did the mensa.no internet test and got 135, being an easily exitable moron i was fully convinced this might be true to some extent, and that infact i was a unrealised genius!. A cocoon not aware it could become a butterfly. So i checked out when you could take the supervised test in my town and signed up for it. 40€ they wanted those bastard but me thinking this was my chanse to make it big i payed like a good boy. When there did the test and about a month later the test results came giving me an 119! IQ point not fucking close to getting in. And as im now quite some time later realising is that this is probably how those pompus pricks fund their little operation, baiting in midwits to pay the midwit tax. >tl;drDont write the mensa admission test its a ploy to steal your money
Even the founders of mensa instantly regretted forming it soon after they saw what they had done.

>>17028321IQ is a set of psychometric tests that attempts to measure g-factor. It is a normal distribution of your intellectual ability according to your proficiency at processing, remembering, and understanding what are essentially purpose built games/puzzles. If you received an IQ score of 119 from a psychometric test with a reasonable g-factor correlation, you are probably able to pursue almost any career of your choosing in a professional context. While you will only ever be a middling doctor, or an okay researcher, or an average dentist, you will still enjoy a quality of life and intellectual ability far surpassing a majority (>50%) of the population. Your casual interests might lie in the arts or history or philosophy, and if you learn how to apply yourself, you can probably even begin a small creative pursuit that yields immense personal benefits and perhaps earns you a degree of respect and admiration from your peers. You are not terribly special or unique, in terms of your intelligence, but you are leaps and bounds ahead of the average person and have the potential for a fulfilling life. The other option, should this seem unappealing to you, is to develop an acute mental illness centered on your insecurity over your own intelligence and spin your wheels for decades wasting away the vibrance of your youth on something that a majority (>50%) of people are too stupid to even care about.
there are not only infinite infinities, but an infinite number of those infinities. and an infinite number of those infinities. and an infinite number of those infinities. and an infinite number of those infinities, and...

If determinism is true why is a infallible prediction machine a paradox? The scientist is just a meat puppet so he should have stayed quiet like a good little cuck and the guy would have said "red"
>>17040582Actually he will say red because if the prediction machine would really work(It is a hypothetical, so it must work) it would modify the environment in a way that it has a predictable outcome.

*Copenhagen interpretationIt has been completely flipped in an absurd way. Its presented as a serious way to explain or visualize quantum superposition to the public, completely flipping Schrödinger's original intent. Shows like the Big Bang theory popularized this, but also mainstream physics did.Bohmian Mechanics is the completion of this problem. Its the real deal. But mainstream physicists hate it because its imcompatible with relativity. Well Well if only Lorentz had developed an aet*er theory that would have an absolute time...... That would fit really nicely since its equivalent to SR.
>>17039747It was obvious you mean "absolute time" in that manner.My point is that their isn't absolute time.It's ALL, 100% based on point of observation, which will ALWAYS be a human being subjective and the rest being relative to that point.Time is an illusion created by humans. It's movement.Now, you can base it off of what? A set baseline frequency? Guess what? All measurements still derived from the HUMAN MIND based on shit moving in space.Now, you can call "time" "shit moving in space". But you will not find an "absolute" value.>But in reality you can't define movement before timeThink again sir. Time is literally derived from this movement.Human have have created EVERY time unit based off celestial movement.AKA "shit moving in space."You are eternally backwards.
>>17039910Bohmian mechanics (aka de Broglie) would indeed predict a single detection and give you the tools to backtrack the particle to its sourceCopenhagen claims that the wavefunction magically collapses at a completely random pointforgets to explain how the other completely random points know that the probability peak isn't there>>17039918>Bohmian schizophrenialolyou keep cycling, do you realize that?>muh Slater determinantanother name for the unexplained (and to Copenhagen-ists, unexplainable) Pauli exclusion "principle">Do you even know what quantum non-equilibrium means?ρ(X,t) ≠ |ψ(X,t)|2.>employs bog standard wave function/state picturesfor the end-statethe transitions? who knows... maybe some non-equilibria there? before the system, you know, settles down?nah, couldn't be
>>17040281BM and standard wf based formalisms make the same predictions about observable reality by different means, this has nothing to do with "explaining". Your original point was that this had anything to do with relativity, and you just conceded that a non-relativistic theory (BM) reproduces the phenomenon. In other words, standard QM (which reproduces BM) is non-relativistic. You can't weasel your way out of that one.
>>17040281>the transitions? who knows... maybe some non-equilibria there?You mean the transitions standard QM predicts?>ρ(X,t) ≠ |ψ(X,t)|2.Given that it is quite known that for spin 0 systems not asserting QE causes the simulations to significantly deviate from experiment and standard QM, the burden of proof that QNE simulations quantitatively reproduce observed behavior is on you. In standard approaches this reduces to a simple symmetry argument, effectively a boundary condition you can reduce to a projection onto a Hilbert subspace. There's also very simple thought experiments that render you being able to prove this very unlikely. The electrons of two physically well separated hydrogen atoms are predicted by QM to move in an uncorrelated manner (in the limit of large distances). BM can only reproduce the hydrogen atom by asserting QE. That means that all those magical QNE effects must asymptotically vanish at infinite separation, at least in a molecular frame. That is a lot of math that requires showing for someone who has not written a single cohesive equation in this thread, and chances are, not solved a single diff eq in his life.
>>17039961Im disagree. If we want to really get deep time is the passing of events.Simultaneity is harder to define, but it can be denfined absolute. Movement is not time, its something different>you cant measure time without movementYou also cant measre lenght, energy, anything without movement. That doesnt mean these things are movement.

/sci/ be like>ADHD is not real!!!!!!! 1Then explain why when I take my medication I get extreme energy and I can study the most boring thing for 10 hours without breakCheckmate adhd deniers
>>17040450And that proves ADHD exists how exactly?At least 90% of people with an ADHD diagnosis are just undisciplined and unmotivated tards raised by morons who have been conditioned by a liberal society to never discipline and advise their kids, instead believing that le state of nature is beautiful and kids can just magically figure out everything on their own.Parents and kids then cope with their failure by pretending some unavoidable mental disorder caused it, and then drug up their kids all day on stimulants.
I've seen ADHD people, they can't accomplish a single task so badly that it's ridiculous.
ADHD peeps are superior unless it's office shit
ADHD medicine makes me sleepy and relaxed What does that mean? does it mean I actually have ADHD? I gaslighted my psychiatrist into the diagnostic (I'm the son of one of my country's top psychiatrists so he never stood a chance) no I cant ask my dad because he is a psychomeds are last resort kinda doc and he would give me an earful
How do you know that somebody has ADHD? Don't worry, they will tell you.
You are the dictator-king of a new country. You decide what things should be on the school curriculum of your country. Aged 11-18, what should students know about science? Is it important for most people to understand science and maths or is it only important for a select high IQ elite who will go into relevant careers?
>>17040558Do you think your country should mimic Chinas education system and curriculum? Would that even be possible?
>>17040538>Is it important for most people to understand science and maths or is it only important for a select high IQ elite who will go into relevant careers?90% of the things people learn after 13 in school are useless for the majority of the population. Most people just need to know reading and writing and basic maths and how to lift boxes and drive. Does the average cleaner or waiter or porter need to understand calculus? Fuck no.
>>17040539Isn't that just IQ anyway? Can you even meaningfully impact that with stricter educational structure?
>>17040644>Can you even meaningfully impact that with stricter educational structure?Yes you can train someone to spot patterns and make connections. Solving challenging physics problems you can get used to solving things by writing down everything you know about the problem, working out what you can work out with that, and working out what you can with that, until you get the answer. Japanese kids do sudokus and kakuros as kids to train themselves. Innate fluid intelligence determines how well and how quickly you can acquire that skill.
>>17040538The most important trait a school curriculum or education system should focus on is hours spent in class and studying. Generally the more hours means better overall performance. Subject matter is secondary to this. IQ is third.That's literally why Asians and Asian Countries do better in academia across the board. Their students have longer school hours, have secondary school programs after their primary schools and study longer than any other group.

Alright, let's settle this once and for all."0.999... = 1"What comes after 1? 0.999... and the number that comes "next" have to necessarily be different. If the difference is 0 then it is not the "next" number if it isn't zero then there is a number between it and zero.This means there is no "next" number.What is the difference between 0 and not 0.To say 0.999... = 1 is to say the difference between 0.999... and 1 is 0 but then what is the "next" number after 1/0.999...? It must necessarily be greater than 0 but if it is then the difference between it and zero must be greater than 0.0.999=1 tards can't answer thisThe debate is over.0.999.../=1
>>17040587>>17040596The problem in your logic here is that you are scaling your equations by a factor of infinity when you are "proving" 1 = 0. There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1 but not infinite distance. Numbers innately have no distance. Now you can backwards logically "prove" that 1-0 = 0 but only if you first hide infinity somewhere in that equation which makes it erroneous.
>>17040292theyre defined equal chud. trust the math.
>>17040630No, the “logic” problem is that the equality follows simply from 0 being an additive identity and from how integers are defined in decimal notation. “Infinity” has fuck all to do with it.No one needs a magical jeet fairy here. And if you WANT to retrofit a magical jeet fairy into a simple proof, it’s on you to prove 1) that your jeet fairy exists in the first place and 2) that it’s backward compatible to the proof.
>>17040292You do not understand rational numbers.

>uuuuuum actually you can't go faster than light with warp drives because uhhhhh, you would go outside your "light cone" which is totally real and not made up, and also communication would cause time paradoxes or something because like just trust me broI hate these faggot doomers. We know that spacetime itself can travel faster than light, we know that the "speed limit of the universe" is actually just the speed limit of energy passing through spacetime, not the limit of spacetime itself. I'm not gonna sit here and listen to doomers tell me that FTL isn't possible for some bullshit mathematical reasons that they've conjured up in their depressed schizo minds. Pure demoralisation psyop made to crush the faustian spirit of the White man. Don't fall for it.
>>17034156>many scientific discoveries have been spurred on initially by concepts from sci-fiYou mean they made up fake bullshit in a book and then larped about it later like Renaissance Fair gaywads?
>>17040565>How long do I have to wait until you science fags realize the "time" part is nothing?apparently zero, since there's no time by your logic
>>17040598Try reading again.I said absolute time. As in a time separate from human experience.We can indeed have years and decades etc. But they will just be us marking where something was and where it is now and watching it move there.That's our time.So...that's just space and things moving. Time not even being a necessary portion of this.You have a point of observation. Then you note things move. We call this "time."It's just movement through space. Calling it "time" makes it human automatically.It's almost as if reality is subjective and time doesn't exist without humans keeping it.Almost...
>>17034118>we know that the "speed limit of the universe" is actually just the speed limit of energy passing through spacetime, not the limit of spacetime itself.you're using "spacetime" here as a synonym for "space" because you've heard physicists do it and have clearly have no idea what it actually meansthere is no "speeding up" or "slowing down" in spacetime, the notion is completely incoherent. the magnitude of any object's four-velocity is EXACTLY c, never more or less. the only thing that changes is which direction its pointing in spacetime.
>>17040598Point out on the hydrogen atom where time is
Schizophrenia drastically reduces fitness and is highly heritable, with 80% being a common figure for how much of it is up to genetics vs environment. People usually don't get it unless a close family member also had some kind of psychotic disorder. So why the hell hasn't it been bred out? I've been googling around for the past half hour and the explanations I've seen include>schizophrenia is a bad construct that actually describes a number of diverse disorders>schizophrenia is actually being selected against and used to be more prevalent>the polygenes implicated in schizophrenia increase fitness when a few are expressed, but when too many are expressed, you get a cliff-edge effect>schizophrenic people in hunter-gatherer societies don't suffer from their hallucinations like westerners do, mitigating its impact on fitness until recently>schizophrenic people in hunter-gatherer societies gained prestige for their families because they were seen as shamans, and their families passed the genes alongWhat does /sci/ think about this question that is relevant to biology and psychiatry and is DEFINITELY NOT OFFTOPIC
>>17039053This. You see a lot of families where the odd one just gets a bad genetic roll and histocompatibility complex wank. A lot of the family members will present with schizoid type thinking that's not detrimental to reproduction.When you hang with schizos you notice the small shit; the common paranoid delusion of being poisoned by a close relation is usually just because they have GI symptoms because of faulty neurons in their gut. (no im not a >gut microbiome causes autism mom)>>17039100>Visual hallucinations are normally caused by drugs and sleep deprivationYeah but it's a chicken and egg thing. Cannabis and stimulants feeding back into lack of sleep. The peripheral vision identifying threats from stress happens to everyone; when shit goes wrong in the brain... your mind can't take executive control to realise a red plastic bag in the wind is just litter; you hyperfocus and pattern match for meaning that isn't there.There's a big difference between schizos from low IQ families in squalor and high IQ families with stable nurturing environments and access to GOOD mental health help.tl;dr schizo keeps you safe from the tribal psycho but goes wrong if your serotonin and dopamine regulation is fucked.
>>17040063Yeah but I have had intelligence and feds trying to make me kill myself for 23 years and sometimes a plastic bag flying in the wind means something.Lots of schizo are targeted individuals who get gaslit and medicated and put through pressure until they crack and werid shit comes out.Actual schizophrenia is not what you think it is.We are all spied on somewhat and if you start saying certain things you get targeted and turned into a shizo. The police told me years ago that I would be a paranoid schizophrenic wrapped up in loads of cases and all they did was ended up getting themselves sacked. I barely survived but schizoness is just an excuse to lock you away most of the time.
I think the poly gene explanation is the best, a little bit of the genes turning on can be a benefit but when they all turn on it’s badI’m diagnosed bipolar and am a fat smelly neet on welfare bux meanwhile one of my brothers became a cto of a medium sized tech company before 35 and my sister is an accomplished attorney from a t14 school. meanwhile I struggle to keep a job part time at a warehouse. people say I’m smart thoughyeah I’m probably gonna rope soon

>>17037680>>17037709>>17038615>>17039098because schizophrenia is caused by one of these three;1) intracellular bacteria (in brains)2) toxoplasma parasite (in brains)3) some other parasitic bacteria maybe lyme (in brains)>being genetically predisposedjust means that you cant handle these parasites while everyone else can

>>17040730What results? They don't even agree what the Mpemba effect is so they get different results.The initially hot water freezes fast most likely because it has bubbles or impurities that let it crystalize while the cold one sometimes needs to be hit to start the immediate freezing.This isn't science this is playing with the lack of scientific rigor.
>>17040748>most likelyis not scientific. show proof wigger
>>17040751That's not the point, I gave an example why this could be. The problem is how much they pretend this is some big discovery.
If the speed of light is the fastest source of energy in the universe, then why can't it escape a black hole?i'm going to need some mathmatical proof
>>17040595I don't get it, plus i didn't read more than a sentance and a half of what you typed
>>17040712okay, I just read itI still don't get it
>>17040567it can though
>>17040713there will a come a time when you accept that you're stupid. its quite common
>>17040713Say the speed of sound in some fluid was 5 m/s. However, the fluid is flowing at a velocity of 6 m/s to the right. If you try to send a sound wave “up” the fluid (against its flow, i.e. to the left), you’ll end up with a signal traveling at 1 m/s to the right, since the sound waves are traveling slower than the flow of the medium it’s in. In the case of light, to answer with a definitive ‘why’ wouldn’t be possible without resorting to deeper (and thus far, purely theoretical) models of physics. The analogy with the sound waves is merely a way of relating a real way for how a signal may never reach the direction it was intended to go, with the actual concept of a sonic/acoustic black hole having been done experimentally. But as an actual, mechanistic description for why light can’t escape? There are theories of light being a quasiparticle, a phonon or a collective excitation that is analogous to a sound wave propagating through some background medium (see superfluid vacuum theory). But again, these are merely analogies made to describe the behavior we see in more intuitive ways, and we don’t truly know through a lens of physics what stuff “is” and why it is.
