It would go against everything in neuroscience, if just a few dozen neurons were capable of maintaining consciousness, especially when comatose patients who aren't conscious, still have more active neurons than a few dozen, yet NDErs have had vivid, "realer-than-real" experiences when their brains had less neuronal activity than that of comatose patients.

Yes, it 'can' be, that doesn't change the fact that NDErs had no detectable brain activity.

Neruoscientists who subscribe to materialism believe that consciousness comes from neurons, this goes against what NDErs have reported, they were more conscious than comatose patients despite having less brain activity.

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?

For any two distinct real numbers, there must be at least one real number between them (that's what it means for two real numbers to be distinct).

If 0.9_ and 1 are distinct, you can name at least one real number that is strictly greater than 0.9_ and strictly less than 1.

You can't do this, so they're equal.

What do you mean by "every correspoding set of finite truncations"?
>>
>>16866905
The underlying set corresponding to every periodic decimal
>>
>>16866952
First we show a rational number is an upper bound on all the truncations of a repeating decimal if and only if it is an upper bound on the subset of truncations which consist of the nonrepeating part followed by a whole number of repetends. The forward implication is trivial; for the backward case, for any truncation of the repeating decimal, append digits until you reach a decimal of the desired form, and since the extended decimal is less than or equal to the upper bound on the subset, so is the original decimal. If we can find a least upper bound on this subset, it is a least upper bound on the whole set.

The truncations in the subset can be written in the form [math]A + \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} B \cdot 10^{-mk} = A + B \frac{1 - 10^{-mn}}{1 - 10^{-m}}[/math] where A and B are non-negative rational numbers and m is the number of digits in the repetend. The number [math]X = A + \frac{B}{1 - 10^{-m}}[/math] is an upper bound. Let y be a rational number smaller than X; to show y is not an upper bound, we need to find an n such that [math]A + B \frac{1 - 10^{-mn}}{1 - 10^{-m}} < y[/math]. This holds iff [math]B \frac{10^{-mn}}{1 - 10^{-m}} < X - y[/math]; if B = 0, it is true for every n. If B > 0, then it holds iff [math]10^{mn} > \frac{B}{(1 - 10^{-m}) (X - y)}[/math], so a sufficient n can be obtained by counting the digits in [math]\left\lfloor \frac{B}{(1 - 10^{-m}) (X - y)} \right\rfloor[/math], dividing by m, and rounding up. Thus X is the desired least upper bound.

These studies often overshoot or undershoot these risks and benefits but the key takeaway is that, since they're so nutrient dense, it really doesn't take that much to benefit from eating them. If you had a couple for breakfast this morning then you probably had plenty.

Another way to phrase this is that the lower register in English is primarily Germanic, e.g. basic words (think of words describing simple things in a tribal setting).
English --> German
bread --> brott
house --> haus
with --> mit
water --> wasser
hand --> hand
name --> name
apple --> apfel
mother --> mutter
stone --> stein
cold --> kalt
earth --> erde
The French Norman conquest of England meant that proto-French came to dominate the aristocracy. Higher register in words (approx. "fancier words") are primarily Latin in origin.
Germanic; Latin
dog; canine
ask; inquire
buy; purchase
tell; inform

Okay hear me out.

I'm sure you're all NOT retarded and have heard of the electroweak nuclear force since you're browsing /sci/, and possibly you know a thing or two about the fact that we live in a "right-handed" chirality universe, where electrons dominate over positrons, and so we call the force we harness, based on electrons, "electricity", because of how English etymology works ("elec" + tron, "elec" + tricity).

Does that mean if we lived in the Evil Kirk universe where everything is antimatter instead, and thus "left-handed" chirality instead, we'd be harnessing positrons instead? And if so, then instead of calling it "electricity" would we call it... like, "positivity"? Or, "positricity"?

... lol

Plasma cosmology is long dead. Even when it was alive it was riddled with problems trying to explain the basic properties of the universe. It couldn't really explain the homogeneous structure and expansion of the universe, which is now confirmed on larger scales.

I think you've been smoking crack. There is no electric universe model. All it consists of are some vague claims spread over hundreds of hours of empty youtube videos. It has no mathematical modeling, or anything that can really be called a physical cosmology. It is pseudoscientific waffle.

And look how it appears if you plot all the available data, and use the correct dates of when the actual experiment was done. This weakens the evidence for variation.
Then when you account for the fact that a model with more parameters (the oscillation frequency, phase and amplitude) will fit data better, the improvement is not significant over Gaussian noise.
And if this variation were real, it would be detectable in the orbits of planets and satellites. It isn't.

Maybe it happens outside of our light cone. Our observable universe is a diameter of 97 Billion light years. How do we know weird shit doesn't happen just outside of that? Gamma rays produced then a transition to antimatter galaxies and after that maybe something even weirder that doesn't fit in with either matter or antimatter? How did they come up with the cosmological principle? It doesn't seem like they used scientific methods to come up with it.

>Maybe it happens outside of our light cone. Our observable universe is a diameter of 97 Billion light years. How do we know weird shit doesn't happen just outside of that?
The point of having regions of anti-matter is to explain the asymmetry in our local environment. If you put those regions beyond the observable universe then they are causally disconnected. It would not explain why our observable universe is matter. It's pointless to invoke regions beyond the horizon scale. You still need some particle physics explanation for the matter-anti-matter asymmetry.
>How did they come up with the cosmological principle?
It's a reasonable assumption, one which has been tested extensively using observations. People have studied cosmological models which are not homogeneous or isotropic, but they don't align with observations.
