New research shows China leads research in 90% of crucial technologies & ignoring this means we're living in a delusional bubble, where we still think the West is the Sci-Tech leader.I think a lot of people are in denial, or just can't accept that China is already the world's leading nation for science and technology. I can't blame them for their ignorance. Most English-language media studiously avoid mentioning it. Time and time again, I see topics like AI, space & robotics covered, with only developments in Western countries talked of, as if China doesn't exist. Despite the fact that it's now the leader in so many fields.The problem with complacency and ignorance is that it gives you a really distorted map of reality. You can't understand how the 21st century is developing without factoring in China, and ignoring China means you're being delusional.Source:https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-04048-7https://www.aspistrategist.org.au/aspis-critical-technology-tracker-2025-updates-and-10-new-technologies/

How would you solve low fertility rates using science?I start:-remove many women from workplace so they get bored at home and have babies out of boredom-ban goyphones (mobile phones), social media, TV and soap operas, or ban them just for females, so that they are bored at home and want babies out of boredom-limit or ban contraception. Banning might give result of having too many babies. Contraception could also be legal only for couples that already have at least two kids-limit education of women, only send some women (with high potential) to education, most women should be uneducated, at least before they produce two or more babies. Females should first have kids, when they are young, then after this they could study and work (if at all)-ban owning of cats and dogs, females own them instead of kids, they treat them as kids-lower age of marriage and marry young girls, at their puberty or even earlier. The younger the marriage and first pregnancy, the more kids a woman can have-make that at some hours during Saturday or Sunday, the electricity, TV, internet will stop working. This will make people have sex and possibly get pregnant-make that big houses are cheap and make people live in houses in the suburbs or countryside. When people see empty spaces (in the house and outside), they want to fill them with something, for example with children-have people own houses/apartments or rent from the state, because when people rent from private capitalists, they don't have stability, they fear they can be evicted at any time-tax benefits for people with children. Lower property taxes and rent (they need bigger apartments and houses), lower income taxes. Direct payments of money to people with children can be considered but they are not great, they can attract the wrong people to have children, the "bottom" people1/2

>>16962119Update10-20% of c is possible via surfing the interplanetary winds, so a trip to proxima centauri could take 30 years. Still need fusion or fission power supply.It is possible that some people born today could be living on a ship headed to alpha centauri. Far more likely before end of century is near earth and main belt asteroid mining and space cities. The technology for mining asteroids already exists.
>>16965328Your post is entirely hopeful thinking and "what ifs." Tell me when we put a man on Mars, because that's going to be a lot easier than getting to Proxima Centuri lol.
>>16962119Generation ships is the only thing I disagree with because it takes people lives away to be spent traveling to another solar system instead of living up in earth or mars. I suggest we find a way to move faster than the speed of light without killing us.
>>16965650The alcubierre drive is at least theoretically possible but i would claim that getting above the gravity well for the solar system is also important because once that is done the ability to manipulate space and time would potentially be much larger outside the gravity well without interference from the gravity from the solar system
>>16965344>>16965650>>16967257If trends continue, moon habitats in 10-20 years, Mars in 20-30.Getting space launch costs closer to air freight cost changes entire economic calculus.Also, specialized ai are speeding up and widely distributing advanced materials science discovery, which means reusable ssto is possible. FTL not possible, 10-20% light speed is possible which makes a 20 year trip to proxima possible. Not exactly a generation ship. Thats probably at least a century from now. It depends on how rapidly ai tools advance tech. Either wrights law applies or it is exponential growth. Either way, solsys has enough resources for trillions of humans to live at western levels of wealth.

All the world's top scientists died of mysterious circumstances in the last two years and it got swept under the rug.The pseud TV-only scientists like Neil Degrasse Tyson are still alive though. All Neil had ever done is publish massive books reviewing other scientists' work but he has no actual work of his own. He just plays a scientist on the tv propaganda machine and his takes on social media are utterly retarded slop takes.All the real scientists were mostly unknown to the public and they all mysteriously died recently. I'm guessing they probablybdisagreed with the elites or something? Lol.

They have to be unknowns, or it would carry too much political weight and cause issues.
>>16967186That is all scientists, the only science adjacent people the public knows about are failed engineers who pivoted to media like Bill Nye the Sex Junk Guy.
so you are telling me this rather small hole and little bit of fire is enough to make the whole tower collapse?
>>16966222Because "teach the controversy" wore out its welcome decades ago when upon hearing what the "teaching" was, everyone realized they were a bunch of nutters with disingenuous pleas for "fairness" to get their supported views injected into schools. People only have so many years to live and don't owe every person with an opinion, especially on well trodden ground, hours of their attention. "You won't spend hours listening to me babble on incoherently because I'm correct" is simple narcissism.

>>16963891I saw an incredible painting of Hitler and focused on it during a light dream. The painting was created by a woman who knew Hitler.I made a connection between it and Hitler's mind in the quantum world. I passed through a smoke haze, and Hitler addressed me like one of his friends. I was seeing through Hitler's eyes, and they were attempting to flee, with a lot of shooting taking place at the front. One of the stray bullets struck him on the left shoulder, killing him. This revealed what happened to him at the end, and he was connecting with me through memory.Since we have had some conversations. He struck me as an intelligent individual with genuine morals and societal ideals. The truth is that people needed force, not him acting out of sync.
You are the conductor of a trolley in the complex plane, surrounded on all sides by people, stretching out to infinity, covering the entire region | z | ≥ 5. The trolley will start at 0 and move iteratively, its next position calculated as f(z) = z^2 + c, where z is its current position. C is arbitrary. You may set it to any complex number, but cannot change it once the trolley starts moving. However, the people inside the trolley are freezing and rely on the heat generated from the trolley's movement to survive! The faster the trolley moves (on average over the entire trip), the more survive.What value of c will you choose?
Y'all really incapable of solving this?

>>16966564>>16966731The problem really just isnt that interesting. Basically just do what this anon did: >>16966295Except you make the real portion arbitrarily close to -sqrt(5-sqrt(5)) and the imaginary portion arbitrarily close to 0. Anywhere in that line emitting from the turtle's head bounces back and forth crossing both axes.
>>16966943>>16966943But you're both wrong, the goal of the problem is not to find a closed loop, it is to find the one with the maximum average speed, i.e. distance between points. And no, it's not c=-1+0.1i, nor is it c=-sqrt(5-sqrt(5)), nor is it c=i.Here's the problem properly restated so you will understand: Among all admissible parameters c, define the asymptotic average speed byA(c) = limsupₙ∞ (1/N) Σₙ=0ᴺ-1 |zₙ+1 − zₙ|Question:What is sup A(c) over all admissible c?Is this supremum actually attained by some parameter c? If so, for which value or values of c?Even the simplest class of possible parameters, which are postcritically finite Misiurewicz parameters where the critical orbit z0 = 0 eventually lands on a periodic cycle, easily yields a solution that beats all suggestions made in this thread so far:If the orbit eventually enters a period-p cycle w0 w1 ... wₚ-1 w0, the asymptotic average speed is justComment too long.

>>16966943By contrast, your suggestion of c=-sqrt(5-sqrt(5)), yields about A(c)≈1.52.Your trolley is poorly heated asf.

What is the maximum number of faces a solid can have whose faces are polygons that are all identical in shape and size?
>>16966476You question is slightly ambiguous so it's either one of:-- Regular polygon faces (Platonic solid) 20 (icosahedron)-- Any congruent polygon faces 120 (disdyakis triacontahedron)
>>16966596I see how that works. Icosahedron has 20 equilateral triangles as faces so when you split up each into six congruent triangles you get a solid that now has 120 faces. But how do you prove that is the maximum?
>>16967098It comes down to the fact that around each vertex the angle must be < 360°. This combined with the known angles of each regular polygons impose a constraint on the possible number of sides the polygon can have and the number of vertices. If you know about Euler's Formula [math]V − E + F = 2[/math], you can work it out from that too. Essentially it's a hard upper limit of 3D space.
All the symbols in math is retarded, just speak english. I do not care if it takes longer, I bet all math problems would be solved by now if we made mathematics more accessible to people who do not like symbols and terminology. If you cannot explain it in laymans terms u are just a fraud. Lol.

>>16966938The number which, when taken to the power of a variable, returns a function whose localised rate of change is itself, when taken instead to the power of that variable times the square root of the additive inverse of the multiplicative identity (up to isomorphism), is equal to the ratio between the adjacent side and hypotenuse when interpreting the variable as an angle in a right triangle whose unit is equal to the length of the arc it subtends, plus the square root of the additive inverse of the multiplicative identity (up to isomorphism) multiplied by the ratio between the opposite side and hypotenuse when interpreting the variable as an angle in a right triangle whose unit is equal to the length of the arc it subtends.
