Do transgender individuals (they are people too) that are M-T-F, have less than ideal testosterone prior to their transition? Has there been a study on this?

Yes but virtual particle aren't physically real, hence the name, but they make for a good visualisation device. There is an interaction with quantum fields around a blackhole, and that is what Hawking calculated, but the result is thermal radiation, not a matter/anti-matter particle.

>matter/anti-matter particle.
matter/anti-matter interaction results in photons, net plus. virtual particle pairs net zero on interaction no?
>>
>>16555762
The pop-sci explanation of Hawking Radiation is that one of the two particles produced falls into the blackhole while the other escapes (taking some of the blackholes mass with it).
>>
>>16555765
Yeah I never understood that bit, supposedly a "normal" particle would escape if it's on the outside of the boundary and the "opposite" particle would fall in, but that would need to be some kind of negative mass particle of sorts and would have to net 0 on interaction with anything in the black hole, this way carrying mass away from it. weird, never really understood the nature of these exact particles, they can't be matter/antimatter and they have to be real not "imaginary".

I'm learning logic. I had a discussion on another board. Can someone who knows a lot about logic comment on this discussion? Specifically how I (the OP), the Moldovan anon, and another Swede discussed how the fallacy can be either denying the antecedent or affirming the consequent. Yesterday I felt like I understood it but looking at it again today I'm confused.

https://archived.moe/bant/thread/21913276/#21916009

It seemed to make sense that it could be either denying the antecedent or affirming the consequent. This made me wonder if denying the antecedent can always be rephrased as affirming the consequent and vice versa. But when I was going over the reasoning again to figure out if that's the case I got confused.

affirming the consequent:
P implies Q
therefore, Q implies P

denying the antecedent:
P implies Q
therefore, not P implies not Q

"Q implies P" and "not P implies not Q" are logically equivalent statements.

Redditor faggots think science stopped 30 years ago and have no idea that almost every study done since states that there is basically no evidence for large evolutionary changes and that we almost certainly didn't evolve from apes.

The exact same thing happens with studies done on IQ and socioeconomics. Turns out everything they preached in the 80s and 90s was false and that it almost all comes down to genetics which can largely be broken down on broad racial lines.

Spore makes me depressed because I followed it from day 0, watching their grainy low-res recording of a projector in a conference room. Whatever alpha they demonstrated had underwater cities/animals and a brain as a separate body part. So you could stay in the creature stage or even just stay a fish if you wanted, like there were multiple multiple paths of play beyond "eat meat or dance."

As well all know math is extremely broad, nevertheless as the saying goes "Jack of all trades, master of none" what fields would you choose to become very advanced in, and why?
As a side question what would you say are the fields that are there just to bait midwits into a fruitless rabbit hole?
>>
Basically any field that has lots of integers and algorithms. If the field is just words and variables that means it's a fruitless rabbit hole.

DC — The Biden administration today issued a new executive order banning ZFC and set-theoretic foundations from mathematics within the continental USA and Hawaii. The measure, which is part of a larger effort to improve the foundations of science, comes as a relief to many mathematicians, who in this day and age prefer memory-safe languages such as HoTT.

that's what I said, you could only go back to an alternate timeline which you were never part of, but timeline which somehow worked out just the same, with or without you in it. which is a serious mindfuck.

Does it happen because of decoherence, observation, or some deeper interpretation of quantum mechanics I’m not parsing correctly? Copenhagen? MWI? Pilot wave? What’s the most no-nonsense way to frame it?

It happens because is quantized. All or nothing, whole quanta or no quanta, no fractions. It can't be half here and the other half there. Simple as.
You should be asking why it goes from right to left. Is it a probability distribution or that is just how a position evolves in time?

Anon, the list of non-physical things we use to accurately predict the behavior of complex physical systems could fill a textbook, or a few thousand.

Wave functions are just another mathematical formalism that's useful for predicting the behavior of a physical system; and it probably *does* have some deeper meaning to it in-so-far as *why* it works so well, but we don't completely know what that is yet.

>If you dwell too long on exactly what an observer is, you'll probably start muttering to yourself.
isn't it any particle which isn't entangled with the system? when a photon interacts with the entangled system the photon itself is the observer, acts like the observer.
maybe observer is not the best word. interactor? anything that isn't entangled with the system?

It seems like the universe's expansion is not accelerating but an illusion caused by cosmic voids. Cold dark matter is incredibly elusive, maybe axioms, primitive black holes, or entropic, but it seems like it is an artifact of our models. How can we develop a new cosmos theory based on evidence when the evidence is so elusive to us?

This task relies on heuristics. Does he really comb through a mental library of 360,000 words? Does he take the letters he has and generate every possible copmbination to see which are valid words?

i have worked in a clean room like this and it really depends. some people do important work with silicon wafers and others do simpler assembly work. not everyone on a clean room has an ultra technical job where they're soldering circuit boards under yellow light. some people are grunts

so, the average IQ is probably just 100. it's as if you took a sample of people off the street, the answer would be the same.
