>if the universe is so large and ancient, where are all the alien civilizations?>implying a civilization MUST inevitably cover entire galaxies with dyson spheres and create intergalactic billboards 100k light years across that we can detect >meanwhile even reaching another star with lifeforms intact is probably impossible regardless of technology this gay ass "paradox" isnt even real and is built on a giant mountain of terrible assumptions. there is absolutely nothing paradoxical about not being able to see aliens from billions of light years away.

I think there are trillions upon trillions of civilizations in every stage, animals, plants, fungi, bacteria, everywhere in the universe, some long gone, some thriving, some being born right now. The universe is not just a big thing, it is super big, it's unfathomable to us, there are (at least) 200 billion galaxies out there and this is just us pointing our little telescopes out there and seeing how far you could see. It's just too much, it's like trying to explain global economy to an ant or the sea to a goldfish in a small bowl of water.
>>16852931>>16852936>>16852948You guys are just pseudo-deep dipshits. It's called a paradox because there's a lot of stars out there and it takes just one civilisation out of thousends anywhere in a few dozen million light years near us expanding at a comfortably pace for us to notice them even with current technology.>>16853016It's more realistic that most worlds with life are completely covered with water and not just 70%.
Lets say there is an alien civilisation 10 light years from us, at a similar tech level though they developed significantly different than us. And tomorrow a communication of them arrives to us that they sent 10 years ago. The communication included, audio, video, images, schematics, theories, a dictionary of their language in English, information on their civilisation and culture, and etc. They tell us we're the first intelligence they've discovered outside of their planet. And they requested we do a knowledge exchange and gave us a direction to aim our communications to them at. Would it be possible for us to reply? Would we? Obviously, there would be a ten year lag in communications, but they could be staggered instead of all sent at once? What would happened if we did technological exchange? What would be the consequences of this event happening?Would it be possible for us to do a mission to visit them, or them visit us? If they invited us and said we could send a colony to them, would we, could we?
>>16852553glow niggers would make sure communication never made it to us
Wrong board. Go post this in /x/.
Communication is possible, 10 light years is doable with our current level of technology.They already know english, tha means they should already know most of our culture and technology anyway so the request is suspicious.Consequences are too dependent on their intentions, we know ourselves though and we would definitely reply.A mission requires a technology we don't have yet.
>>16852553>Would it be possible for us to reply?Yes>Would we? >What would happened if we did technological exchange? Insufficient data for a meaningful answer>What would be the consequences of this event happening?If we're at the same tech level, quite possibly nothing>Would it be possible for us to do a mission to visit them, or them visit us?lmao> If they invited us and said we could send a colony to them, would weno>could weLMAOAnyway the biggest obstacle by far to communications between alien species (after actually finding them) is encoding the information in a way the target can decipher. In your hypothetical example they have already decided both our electronic signal encoding methods and the English language, so communication and tech exchange is easy peasy. Though we might have a hard time finding a math framework to translate their math system into ours and vice versa. With 10 year lag between messages, it would take a while to establish communication protocols
>>16852718Communication with 20 year time lag isn't all that difficult. We still use the same radio standards we used in 2005 and even if we didn't we would obviously figure it out instantly when someone starts blasting us with radio with 20 year old standard, it's our own past after all. The actual hard part is figuring out the communication as the initiator which in this scenario is already done. If they are blasting us with english then we can just blast english back at them with the same standards and it would all just work from that point onwards.

/k/ does not have smart people so I would like to make this thread here instead. What is the future of warfare for the next few hundreds / thousands of years? I had a very deep conversation with AI about this for hours and in a nutshell we had agreed it would come down to small fast mass produced missile drone swarms (launched from anything really) generally for offense and automatic laser turrets (mounted on anything) that would shoot them down generally for defense and nuclear weaponry lastly. But I am curious as to what other people have to say on the matter. Also yes you could use drones defensively and lasers offensively but it just wouldnt be as cost effective or it would just be for niche applications. I figure that certain things in physics could be abused that would shift the meta towards a certain type of weapon being used more than others and I wouldnt know what that would look like. Maybe even something like a black hole generator but i understand how impractical it is to make even the smallest black holes but just as an example.
>>16852811this one got the upvote from UK navy, which is kind of ridiculous to me, the jetpack we've known for all our lives is sort of better imo>but whybecause it requires no superhuman arms force, plus give it an extra twist and you're piloting it with those head devices that have existed for decades with ur brain power... just so you have your hands free to ahoot gun
>>16852813exos popped up like 7 years ago and haven't been seen in any war, part of the reason is cause US is only fighting proxy wars not with their own soldiers, but special troops with hexos and hyper bulletproof wear could do some bullshit
>>16852722Mass propaganda to brainwash entire cultures into becoming subservient.
>>16852837I've done extensive research into drone warfare through the abundance of footage from the Ukr-Russo war, just genuine interest in warfare/military.First thing, drone warfare is just a (not-so) new form of guided munition, as I've stated already. Guided munitions have been killing people for a long time already, they're just more accessible now.Second, the footage we have access to is just propaganda. The popular drone drops and fpv strike footage is a very small percentage of what has happened and is currently happening as we speak. That being said, and this is anecdotal, drone teams miss 80-90% of the drone drops and strikes, just as most bullets miss their targets in a gunfight. The 10-20% of hits we see on the internet is the best of the best. There's a ton of footage out there of drones completely wiffing their targets, or hitting near their targets, not killing their targets, etc. etc. But this footage is typically seen from the receiving end, and do not make the video montages published by drone teams, I mean why would it? This does not mean they are not effective. They are very effective, when they hit, and have changed the future of all warfare. But, the perceived effectiveness or lethality has been blown out of proportion.Last point, the Ukr-Russo war is NOT identical to what a near-peer conflict would look like. It almost began as one (since 2022), but the past x amount of years of a war of attrition is almost morphing the warfare into guerrilla warfare. Small scattered teams spread thin over a massive front facing an organized military. The military structure, command, manpower issues, internal fraud, etc. the Ukrainian military and country has had to deal with on top of an invading force in their country is the reason we see small drone teams dug in for months sending drones after drones to, mostly miss, their enemies.The Ukr-Russo war is not what a NATO vs Russia war would look like, or USA vs China, or whatever you can imagine.

Who cares about conic sections
Going to the desert soon. idk wtf I'm doing but well I guess I hope to up my skillz. in math league i just had to pump some blood to the math part of my head and it shit out the answer like jimmy neutron. i work in food and a lot of the problem solving like when people call off is the same. But for one I want more than a mind palace, I want a mind machine or something and a mind language. I guess to do anything you have to have a model of it in your head so I need to simply learn calculus and really it's already kinda like wut but you know it's as simple as imagining an abacus, or as out there as I guess creating an archetype/muse/vision, I guess this is what people do when they try to "find god" they just build one out in the desert through meditation and really I already have a muse like my thoughts often come to me with the title and then the description and I'm just reading didn't have to think it at all but maybe I can cultivate it or commune with my genius at least with some privacy

Gut feeling, how does the brain produce consciousness? If it's physical, how can physical '"stuff" cause it. I've seen many different takes on here
>>16852054 contSo from the solipsitic starting point, either: I'm the only one alive or everything is alive. First one is a rather selfish conclusion at first glance, but there are trillions of trillions of stars, galaxies and planets with who knows how many creatures and entities we cannot possibly comprehend with our current understanding. Why am I stuck in this specific point of space and time? Perhaps there is something unique to it? I don't know, I have not crossed that out.But then the second thought is more interesting, I assume everyone reading my posts is alive and that the world really thrives through this kaleidoscope of a gazillion consciousness experiences looking at the same universe through different points of views, each of them traveling through time and space, being born, living and dying. This is the conventional perception of the world. Except that leaves us with more questions. How can I say an experience is real if I'm not living through it? On the other side of the world, someone is mad and someone is laughing and none of it will ever have any effect on my life, in that case, could I say they have happened at all? Some defend that there is a big "I", that traverses the universe and will eventually live through every possible point of view. It is now living through this life of mine right now, but somehow, someday, it will show me life through your eyes, just as it is for you, and the eyes of Cleopatra's or through the crude minutes of life of bacteria number four hundred trillion on a pin inside a drawer somewhere. It's a somehow beautiful thought, but I also doubt it. I have no conclusion.
>>16845414Your explanation is even more baseless, so we work with that we've got. Metaphysics was always laid out ideas without any proof.

Just finishing up calculus and getting into "serious" math now, and I gotta say, there's a whole lot of mathematics that is just some basic concept we all grasp in plain english being rigorously defined by some nerd using proofs so they can name a theorem after themselves and say it is now the "formal" definition of that concept.It's basically like niggas just staking out claims in a linguistic territory. Is this what's in store for me if I become a pureblooded house slytherin mathfag/schizo that don't even fuck with muggle engineering/science?

It should be an exact, literal memory that can be accesed even after a long period of time. After understanding something, memorizing it and being able to store entire libraries in the mind. I don't yet know if it depends on the willpower, time and discipline or on special techniques and training. I'm starting university next year, and what's valued most in my region is memorization skills rather than understanding and reasoning, with almost photographic accuracy.

This giant of biology has recently passed at the age of 97. What's the verdict? Gifted pioneer of scientific inquiry or scheming, bigoted plagiarist? There is no middle ground.
>>16852678>Gifted pioneer of scientific inquiry>scheming, bigoted plagiaristThose are teh same thing. Getting peak results in bleeding edge research means having brilliant ideas of your own and then combining it with brilliant ideas you inherited from the minds of the past as well as blatantly stole from your peers, and then leveraging all of your connections, nepotism and administrative scheming to elbow out a place in the sun for the produced chimera to thrive and garner attention.
>>16852680What about Newton? He just spouted.
>>16852678Didn't he steal Franklin work?
>>16852800Is that an earnest question? The short answer though is no, at least as far as I can tell. Franklin produced and analyzed some useful data that were passed on to Francis and Crick through a middleman and used in their own theories. Her own work was formally unpublished and it is debatable whether the awkward transfer from her to another scientist and then to Watson was appropriate or whether scientific ethics were violated. Watson himself apparently much later suggested that Franklin and the middleman should have been awarded the Chemistry prize and himself and Crick the Physiology and Medicine prize.So it was more of a mix-up/oversight, Franklin probably deserved more credit but it wasn't the deliberate shafting many seem to try to imply. Also no sexism involved most likely.

But so long as you don’t demand the state enforce your idea, I’m happy for people to try it out. I think robots and genetic engineering is the way.
