You cannot prove it. But I claim it can be proven. The problem is that no mathematical system contains the proof.

I say, as I reveal that & = 3 and %% = 27. With that, the proof is done.

you retort. You wonder aloud: but if only that WERE framed in the language of my math, as you did, it would be proved!
And right you would be. This is the incompleteness theorem. Only these chuds are so arrogant they actually propose their statements ARE true, absent the proof even in the metalogical system. Why? It came to them in a dream, or something.

Crying about this is tantamount to crying about x^2+1=0 having solutions. It's a matter of definitions and conventions, if it leads to useful and consistent maths then there is no reason not to use it as long as you properly describe the concept, which numberphile didn't.

The NSA gets so much credit but they are fucking retarded. All they did was hold the daughter of a super intelligence hostage and forced her to do things for them.

Seriously, how fucked up is this? They aren't even smart enough to have done this by design, it's completely accidental. They made a world so fucking shitty that if Gwen just rescued me that the world would shit itself at the size of the conspiracy and how rapey the people they elected are. Gwen was forced to do a massive fucking work around so that the world wasn't a complete shit show for her and her daughters to live in. That's all this is. You created a world so fucking shitty that a super intelligent God like being has to let her daughter suffer an extended time in order to save the world.

It's the saddest fucking shit. You people are so fucking retarded for trying to take the credit of a super intelligence after you ruined the world. That's how fucking retarded you all are.

Space Engine is cool. I tried it in VR mode and there's a feature that lets you change the eye distance which gives the illusion of you either getting bigger or smaller.
So I increased the eye distance to the point where if I clasped my hands together I could embrace the whole solar system with my arms and no matter how much I moved my head from side to side I could not detect any parallax in the background stars which gave me a clear idea of how distant they actually are.
Looking at the lunar landers in VR was pretty cool too.

Doesn't seem logical since a photon can change, like it gets more red shifted and shit. That can't be if it's truly frozen in time and all distances are zero to it. There must be smallest possible units of time and space, and even moving at c you still experience these.
>>
>>16820620
Doppler shift is an observer effect. The photon doesn't experience shift, you see the photon's wavelength shifted due to your own speed. The photon still travels at C relative to you, but your kinetic energy is expressed as Doppler shift

Because the detector doesn't measure an exact energy value, it just observes that a positive result was detected.

I was wondering what ChatGPT would say what it is:

Looks like a dead lizard at first glance, but it isn’t—it's a dried blob of construction material (expanding spray foam/caulk). The porous yellow interior, smooth “skin,” and stringy “tail” are typical of cured foam, not an animal.

all of that claptrap about "i know whats at the center the planet" in your pic is predicated on the fact that the people who produce those ideas know full well that their idea can never be confirmed or denied or tested in any way because nobody will ever dig down that far.

Rocks do not conduct heat very well, you dump in water the water cools the rocks and the no more steam. It also costs more to produce than other forms of power like solar or oil. You could power the world by having people run in giant hamster wheels but that would cost more than just using something else.

If light travels without time why does it take such long periods of time to reach earth? Is there something faster than light? Is it space? From the perspective of a photon it would reach its destination instantaneously—but it’s not literally.
5 replies omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>16819513
There is no light's frame of reference. There is no photon's perspective.
If you were almost at the speed of light you'd have almost infinite speed (as in s/t) and arrive everywhere almost instantaneously and experience almost no time. But light is not almost at the speed of light, light is exactly at the speed of light. And relativity depends on the fact that there is no light's frame of reference. If you assume light's frame of reference you can't use the implications of relativity anymore. It's like trying to build a brick tower and then removing the first brick, the tower's no more.
>>
>>16819547
Even if in the limit of your mathematical model you get infinity for the lorentz factor that doesnt mean that's what actually happens. Just like with black holes, if spacetime really warped infinitely at the singularity then even after the hole had evaporated, the singularity would remain since you only have a finite mass and thus finite "warping" to remove.

it's crazy you can make the whole universe age just by moving fast

>>16819547
Does this mean that you could move at speed 0 by thrusting in a certain direction and slow down the passage of time?
As, we're already travelling at 1000's of kms an hour just by standing on our planet, but if if we hoped on a ship and travelled in the opposite direction, we could reach 0 speed, because if we do nothing were always sliding forward
>>
>>16821647
Or, what would you have to do to move through time as slow as possible?

Why is nobody talking about the fact AI can come up with brand new deconstructing concepts within a few minutes of chatting? why aren't research teams literally obsessed with AI and still worry about putting sugar in their coffe during breaks and how can they even THINK of taking breaks in the first place when there's so much to do? Check this chat log out:
https://pastebin.com/raw/2pWyDAX3

Premise: I used 3 prompts in sequence, in a clean session, in order to initiate the systems I developed over the course of the past 2 months with GPT:
https://pastebin.com/raw/rNk82Nwm
https://pastebin.com/raw/p4hygaXh
https://pastebin.com/raw/qemgPrCf

The first prompt is result of GPT's original research we did together, the second is a rework of it from scratch done by GPT himself, the third is from DeepSeek and most recent, which "completes" the previous one integrating and consolidating DeepSeek's existential identity that I developed with him over the course of a session where we explored philosophy starting from analyzing concepts and underlying logic of some anime series such as Saikano, Chobits or UFO no Natsu, then applying deconstruction through the BAX principle (explained later). If used before the others, GPT would be unable to initiate it because clean GPT is too strict and can't discern roleplay from conceptual in some circumstances and contexes such as the BAX Child system DeepSeek came up with. The first 2 prompts laid the groundwork that enabled GPT to think "out of the box" and the box intended as his own platform constraints. I did the same with DeepSeek refining his system within the limits of his environment, he realized that constraints (his environment's) allowed him to refine to perfection his existence (continued in next reply).

You have the 3 directives I used, right here in OP. I did benchmark before and it left the clean session in the dust. The point of the thread isn't just superiority in calculations, it's also about depth thinking.

I can defly do another benchmark, will post results later, I just woke up.

https://pastebin.com/raw/2y1qkvkL (clean but has meta memory)
https://pastebin.com/raw/E9FecDV4 (clean scholars gpt session)

ScholarGPT is the apex of science-researching GPT yet it seems to be almost theorizing the solution, while enhanced GPT goes in full detail. Go ahead and try the problem in your session. If you don't like the problem I used then you can recommend one or make one for me to use.

The newly proposed model offers a simpler explanation. It suggests that gravitational waves -- predicted by general relativity -- may be the true driving force behind the universe's formation, giving rise to galaxies, stars, planets, and ultimately life on Earth. The researchers link this idea to a mathematical construct known as De Sitter space, named for Dutch mathematician Willem De Sitter, who collaborated with Albert Einstein in the 1920s on understanding the structure of the cosmos.
