1. Suppose I am the absolute monarch (King) of a micro-monarchy and my country has food security through vertical farming and aquaculture. I also have energy independence through renewable energy resources like solar, waves and wind. Water security is also achieved through desalination.2. I want to create a bank that will also house a secure military base and academy (recruitment and training will be performed through methods like lie detectors, psychological and health tests, Project MK Ultra methods such as torture, brainwashing & mind control to create loyal servants) based on the Fort Knox model. With the payment of a monthly storage and insurance fees, wealthy people can store any types of alternative investment items such as precious metals & stones, wines & any other valuable beverages, any forms of valuable collectibles, artworks & crafts, antiques and vintage items, any items that are deemed valuable by virtue of their scarcity, appraisal, and that are highly sought after in my bank's vaults.3. As per paragraph 2, those mentioned items are illiquid. Are there any viable solutions to generate passive income for investors and me?(i) There is the solution of fractional investment and ownership where the item owners can sell parts of their assets to others but it's is a one-off payment.https://youtu.be/6hhPQf2mi5Y?si=yLIw2jbKDKTsm-P5(ii) Could I, as the bank with the approval of the items owners, create and issue a currency backed by those artefacts and every time those items appreciate in value, I pay them the difference via my currency.4. I will also create a secure location where luxury auctions are held so that the wealthy can sell their items, of course I will receive a percentage commissions on each item sold. I will incentivize items owners and buyers to use my currency for their transactions.What will be the consequences of the above-mentioned things?
>>16819812If you are an absolute monarch you don't have to go through Jewish hoops to steal people's money, without them realizing.You just tax them whatever you want, plain and simple.
>>16819812>rare coin collectionspretty sure gold, silver goes to liquid assets
any asset is money, liquidity is a fuzzy quality of no major importance, you can sell a house or some fancy art it just takes a few weeks like oh i'm totes broke because my million dollar house isnt a million dollars in a bag
>>16819812>I want to create a bank that will also house a secure military base and academy (recruitment and training will be performed through methods like lie detectors, psychological and health tests, Project MK Ultra methods such as torture, brainwashing & mind control to create loyal servants) based on the Fort Knox model.And then they coup you or take on all the actual power in the state because they have guns and money and you don't. Fantasy Brainwashing be damned.
>>16820101I assume they mean collector's coins and not bullion. The fact bullion isn't even on there means you can ignore whatever they have to say.
It is the case that if the Riemann hypothesis is true, the integral:[eqn]\int_{-\infty} ^{\infty} \frac{log|\zeta (it+0.5)|} {1+4t^{2}} dt[/eqn]is equal to zero. If RH is false, however, the integral is nonzero.Why is the Riemann hypothesis the only open problem that has been converted into an integral problem? Why can't other problems be modified in this way?
Has wasting time converting the problem into an integral helped in any way the RH?
Good resources to learn about EM radiation “from scratch”. I am vaguely familiar with sinusoidal waves from some Calc courses but don’t know the first thing about Physics.I have an interest in wireless communication and that is my primary motivation for looking into this subject.
>>16820719To clarify - I am asking for resources to look into. I accidentally put a period instead of a question mark in my first sentence.
>>16820719>I have an interest in wireless communication and that is my primary motivation for looking into this subject.Practical knowledge on the subject is easy to come by.Pick up an Arduino kit. Follow the tutorials. Pick up some radio modules. Hit up to forums.
>>16820740Literally ordered NRF24L01 transceivers like last week lol. Would it still be worth it to do a more “academic” study? Like get a textbook? Or would that probably be inaccessible for me based on my experience level?
It's a rather complicated topic. I'm afraid you will have to start from classical mechanics, as it lays the foundation that is required for further studies. Then take a standard EM text, like Griffiths' Intro to Electrodynamics. It will take time (like, years).

>I have decided to ask this to my fellow hoomans instead of the stupid AI for a change.Cold winter morning, and you just made some boiling hot tea. You dont want your glass to break, and you have two options: pour it into the glass with thick walls, or into the glass with thin walls. Which one do you pick?>Cracking due to heat is because thermal expansion causes uneven stress, leading to fractures when the material can't accommodate the strain.Thin walls might heat up more evenly, but on the other hand, thick walls might withstand the strain.

What is the most fun science to learn while being blind?
>>16812941Highly doubt you’re not larping but if you are actually blind than you’re pretty cool anon
>>16807730I assume you have access to text-to-audio software?Astronomy is a really good choice. Outside of the miniscule sliver of light in the visible spectrum all the data needs to be transduced to some other format for the observer anyway. Infrared, gamma, cosmic rays, etc. Not to mention nuetrino beams and gravitational waves are inherently nonvisual.
>>16815559Neil-smoken-de-grass Tyson's "Astrophysics for people in a hurry" is a great audio book and an excellent intro to the topic

I've worked with blind people for over 6 years, we had a braille library, a study room, computers with voice software and so on.I think the most blind-friendly field of study is history. Lots of texts, not as many visual abstractions as the others. I've got to know historians, psychologists, linguists who were blind, to excel at those fields you need to read a lot and blind people are great readers.I knew a blind mathematician too. He was in college but he went there to pick up our highschool level math books, it was simply the only ones we had available in braille. Because of that guy, I think math is also an option, though it's a lot harder anyway, we take for granted how much we learn from graphics and other visualizations. Note taking is much harder too. I met a lot of blind people who were massage professionals or in ortopedics. The older generation used to have jobs processing photographs or x-rays in hospitals, because the room had to be dark anyway, but with the digital age, that job does not exist anymore.
Is dark energy an ad hoc solution because the calculations don't fit instead of something that exist?Basically like a made up lie sciece invented.
>>16817706>normiesI'm a certified schizo dudeI'm hearing voices and seeing hallucinationsWhere do you think they come from?The dark universe obviouslyI'm astounded that I didn't make this connection beforeUnconscious mind = "Dark" mindThe conscious mind sees the "light" universe and the unconscious the dark universeIt's painfully obvious if you aren't a limited normie like yourself
>>16817521I believe the word you are looking for is kludge. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kludge One theory is that dark matter is neutrinos, they're very plentiful but difficult to detect. Don't know about dark energy, sounds like a kludge.

What's the /sci/ence behind Psychopathy and Sociopathy?Would humanity survive Megafauna times if it weren't for the fearless psychos?
>>16819963Care to extrapolate? I thought they are more impulsive.
>>16819953>mateOk, I think I see what your opinions stem from. You are a nation of monsters and your women are even more monstrous than the men.
>>16819916Maybe these terms meant something once, but now they've been so overused it's becoming pop-psychology silliness. a bit sensationalized and people have too many misconceptions about them.It's used to dehumanize the criminal "other" a lot, but the truth is you can stretch anything. Most of the general population has what you would call "psychopathic traits."
>>16819916I was diagnosed with psychopathy and OCD when I was 12, used to beat the shit out of classmates for no reason at all, just for sadism I guess. Used to shoot frogs with fake Uzi gun, didn't even know why. Poke snails to death or throw them on concrete, strangled much bigger animals but I won't go into detail and so on so on. I didn't even know why the fuck would I do that. Felt good at the moment. Fast forward into adulthood I really have to hide a lot and watch out for the alcohol and drugs, to not slip up too much. I've lost many people that I somewhat cared about due to being abusive, aggressive and obsessive. I try my best to halt my behaviour, but it isn't really easy, like suppressing yourself from being yourself. It's honestly hell. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone, it's a shit experience. You get women easier sure, you get more relationships, people respect your brutality and fast decision making sometimes. But you will never be truly happy, always a way to fuck something up. If I didn't have good looks, didn't dress good and have deep low voice. I would certainly be fucked for life. In everything. I don't understand the glaze Sociopathy and Psychopaty gets among people. It's a torture to be like this. Knowing you will die alone because you're a piece of evil shit. Fuck Dexter, fuck "You" and fuck all the movies for making it seem COOL. It isn't. Thank you for the upboats my fellow redditors.
>>16819916I looked into the psychology research behind this a few years back. Fundamentally, all of the personality disorders are the same disorder, something is physically wrong with the brain that makes them incapable of understanding the social / emotional world, but not in an autistic way, those guys are different. Autistic people are blind to social reality, personality disordered people are more like legally blind or color blind, they get it, but through a very disordered lens because of their literal damaged psychologies.How are they damaged? Well, you can become damaged in many ways, the easiest is blunt force trauma. This is very common with low income children, and thus many psychopaths are on a one way track right to jail. The judicial system for this reason understands these people very well. You can become damaged in other ways: trauma or neglect, the human brain is fragile and it only takes one good shake to get entirely through off. Psychopaths are Cluster B Personality B. Cluster Bs can navigate the social world because they learned all of the ways to 'win' in a social situation without actually "feeling" the social situation. Borderline people might seem like idiots, but just like a psychopath they are trying to win something, they just aren't good at it.When you understand the interconnected nature of the personality disorders, you connect that they are only every 2 steps away from Schizotypal, and will literally start hallucinating instead of ever confronting the real world.
What is the best way to comprehend and/or experience the massive scale of the universe?Every time I happen to think about it, it just doesn't click.
>>16818531until recently: interactive or high res ... pick 1hopefully Dr Huang (or someone else) can create a 3rd version where we'll get both.
>>16818385Space 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.
Elite Dangerous is a great way of comprehending just the size of our Galaxy. you can skip the video game element and just try to travel across the galaxy
>>16817084Doesn'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.
>>16820620Doppler 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
What telescope are you bringing to the Hilal observation meetup?

We all know the Sun has control over nearly everything around us. It cannot be reasoned with and it's constantly sending over all it's unwanted radiation to us, as a plan to ruin us like it has other planets it's dealt with. The Earth has defended it's borders for centuries, Van Allen's belt knows we can't handle that level of radiation and it should all go back, stay where it came from or find somewhere else to exist.But we've left a "backdoor" open for it to all come flooding in and that door is getting wider. It doesn't care about how we humans live or our history or culture. It's capacity for violence and vandalism is extreme; it's already ruined countless satellites where WE now have to make changes to our lives and schedules to live alongside this disastrous influx.So when are we going to address the SAA question and when are people going to wake up to what the Sun has been doing for centuries?
the Sun is responsible for blacks being black, enough said

Why do less women study theoretical physics? I've noticed an uptick in women studying astrophysics and biology degrees are now overwhelmingly women (over 60%).https://www.youtube.com/shorts/QDp71w_MvLk
>>16820440Talent and interest aside, most women can't stomach the culture of theoretical physics and pure math.
>>16820440Mainly it's because theoretical physics is a large crock of bullshit. It has elegant mathematics, but it's half of axiomatic mathematics discipline pretending to be a natural science.
>>16820440fewer
>>16820440Women mostly tend not to find maths interesting.
Say we had the technology to manipulate objects at the nanolevel maybe using nanomachines or some other plot bullshit.How good could you make rocket engines, fuel, computers etc?

Up to like 50 iterational designs, I don't think you can beat a "puffer"/"gulper" model if using meta-fissile fuel optimization.Megastructures like an interstellar railgun do not seem to have a meaningful effect on journey time
Split your nanotech up into 5 gradient points:Hard sci-fi, science-with-a-magical-blessing, science/fantasy, demiscience, fantasy beyond circumstancesAssume a rigid matter default engineering principle: most materials really ought to survive a planet-to-planet journey. From there, throw out everything not related to acceleration as potentially useless.1. Send a utility vehicle with a nearly or semi-fissile material to disperse clouds along the route2. Wait for the data on material/radiation conditions3. Send travel vehicle with a magnetospore bulkhead through the fogCreating optimal thrust still needs a ton of engineering, but the point is to avoid on-board mass during the primary acceleration process. I have not solved for breaking since crash landing on an alien world without any (other) survivors is technically a valid success case for a sentient nanite cohesion.Current iterational design is focused on a long thrust needle with multiple molecular conversion factor. No matter what I call the vehicles, I recognize the colloquial terms egg and sperm will be used. :I
Protocol "diamond dust"; a billionaire not willing to discuss open time travel is officially not worth 1 pound of local flesh
I was going explain how the iteration is coming along, but looks like the individual booster will always converge onto a 2-layer interior thermic crust and latent microscaffold regulator. Currently have to recheck all the conservation equations after I used an alien attacker to spur evolution when it makes much more sense to just split up optimization into material design over the first lightyear of travel and fine fuels research into the remainder of a journeyAll this without breaking the envelope of metamaterials (' -' )
Temporion is the mediating particle for time. Time flow (via temporions) is primary. Gravity-space is emergent.Space curvature is a consequence of uneven time flow — not the cause of it.Gravitons do not exist.The currect experiments searching for the graviton have to be readjusted to search for the Temporion.Slowed time creates apparent curvature.Space bends only because the rate of time varies — not the other way around.All gravitational phenomena are secondary effects of spatial gradients in the temporion field.Gravity isn’t space being bent — it’s objects falling down a gradient of temporal pressure.The gravitational "pull" is the result of things seeking higher temporion field values.Enclosed are the experiments ChatGPT suggest to prove this theory. to be continued
Cosmic expansion.While matter damps time flow (slows temporion field), radiation acts as friction, resisting its growthas radiation thins out, time flow accelerates faster, . Cosmic accelearation "kicks in" when a radiation pressure ebbs.
I can't even.
>>16820524Yea and?Let's try again:What Would a "Time Particle" Do?Let’s explore what such a time particle could do, were it to exist: If there were a particle that carried time as a force, its role would be to influence the flow or passage of time in the universe. But this concept doesn’t really map well onto the existing theories, because time doesn’t seem to "propagate" like other forces do. Gravity is mediated by the graviton, and electromagnetism is mediated by the photon, but time is more of a backdrop that can be experienced differently depending on the curvature of spacetime. A time particle could, in theory, alter the rate at which events occur or how time itself is experienced across different regions of spacetime. ..except its not a theory, This is how the universe works and get used to it
Summary: switching the viewpoint from gravity being curvature in spacetime to a time based view, could solve a lot of problems in current physics which seems to be land-locked into einstein and the quantum old-timers.Might provide insight into apparent excess external spin speed of galaxies and why the cosmos expands, but you take it or leave itI googled earlier looks into this and it looks like Planck or some suggested the same idea by the name of Chronon. How lame. Temporion much better

I know free will exists because I choose not to be like any of the faggots who deny it.
>>16816123No. pretending you have free will in your own personal imaginationland isn't the same as sneaking free will into a reality where it is impossible, even in your scenario, the soul has not agency over what it observes and it can never do otherwise, it is still bound by external cause and space/time constraints.
>>16809083Maybe I'm misinterpreting the experiments, but didn't it show that there is something subconsciously happening that you're not in control of that you're only option is to whether or not follow through with that decision made by your subconscious thereby there is still the ability to actively choose before you actually do?
free will is connected to having a soulbut that might be too /x/citing for you /sci/ggers to understand
>>16816963you dont need agency over what you observe wtf you just need agency over what you willfucking cope
>>16820448No, if your will is determined in full or in part by observations you can't control, then it is not free, its still bound by your observations.
