that's only true in the environnement we know because when we move one item close to another it looks like there is what we call "2" separate items, but if the concept of moving would not exist or if moving 2 items next to another made 10 appear because of how chemistry and physics were made, then our axiom of 1+1=2 and maths as we know it would be wrong from our point of view, we would have been accustomed to other kinds of logic

The problem is the lack of effort put into the hypothesis, something vague is untestable.
>It's obviously nothing but a diffraction effect, if you would be so broad minded to use a common term.
Firstly, the poster doesn't specify what he means by "diffraction effect". So the hypothesis isn't even defined.
And nor does he he attempt any physical calculation to show that such an effect could explain dark matter.

You say people should just go and make some plots for you, which could mean anything. No detail.
But you haven't said what this model actually predicts. "A correlation" can mean anything.
Why should people take your hypothesis seriously, when it isn't even defined?
How can you falsify a model when you have not calculated what it predicts? You can't.

And there is nothing scientific about declaring something is "obviously X", and then refusing to expand or give any justification.

>>17019336

>>17019336
By 'diffraction effect', I'm assuming anon meant some kind of dispersive or interference effect caused by light passing through or by other massive objects (that 'somehow' exactly replicates the effect of their being more matter). At least that seems to be the gist of what they're implying. By correlation, I just mean a clear trend in the data that could indicate a causal connection (ex. estimated missing mass is proportional to number of foreground objects squared or something). If there were some correlation between the two measurements, it might indicate there is more going on.

But, to be clear - I fully expect that if anon put this data together they would see absolutely nothing; just a bunch of randomly distributed data points. I've heard of no observations that could support their idea that the effects attributed to dark matter are some kind of 'diffraction effect' and this seems like one of those obvious things someone would have tested and reported already if there was anything to report.

This isn't even true though, the dark matter theory is only posited through interactions with masses. It already has a residue. Plus model divergence is already purely circular demand for something that is out of bounds.

I have one. If the double slit interference is an optical phenomenon where light waves pass through two closely spaced slits and overlap, creating an alternating pattern of bright and dark bands (fringes) on a screen. What would happen to the bands if you sent a single photon through, then waited some time (Like a day) before firing another one through. Would the inference band show signs of slight deformation to one area, if the proton restarts its first position?

Consciousness first
Individuals learned to alter their state of consciousness and directly perceive that reality consists of countless parallel versions existing simultaneously.

Scientific validation
Their science eventually developed instruments and theories that agreed with these experiences. Their physics concluded that consciousness is fundamental, not matter, and that physical reality is a projection or translation of consciousness.

Practical application
Once this became accepted, they learned that what we call 'movement through time' is actually shifting from one parallel reality to another billions of times per second. Every decision, belief, and emotional state determines which version of reality you experience next.

Technological integration
Their spacecraft and other technologies are described as operating by interacting with consciousness and these parallel realities rather than by conventional propulsion alone.

Lightframe Thread.

Mind is an extended self(what is brain activity? Brain mirroring the body including itself- which results in mind(the passive recognition of local environment)).

Mind is a full-self extension in brain-space. The format of this bodily-enviromental extension, is like trees and gunge.

Mind is not exclusively space in sense data, nor is it consciousness.

It's what the brain and body does together, and not what the brain and body is.

You may note a brain-space, local chaos, of subliminal indecisiveness.

Consciousness is seated in brain and body, it is akin to mind.

The common view of our consciousness, a body down below, seemingly jacked on as an extension, is strange beauty regarding this topic.

You can use mind by selecting the difference between self and the environment.

The next step is Lightframe.

I would like to introduce the term ‘sate’, sate-hood being the normal/easiest way to create mind(body-matter (x)+ brain-space(where x is exactly how they’re combined)), what we are sated-in.

I think our sate-hood(if we are the same sate-hood), is to do with hair.

Hair is the closest limb-collection to the brain, it is also a mark of sovereignty. Hair being a multiplex of tails/pens.

I managed to create a mind via selecting ‘home’, and corresponding with an ‘out’. This is a hair-psyche(the link from one end to the other).

If you want to create a mind, the simplest way is to comprehend your sate-hood.

Arithmetic Dates might be a good name.

I was trying to see if Geometric Dates could exist (in the future; in the past is trivial). The best I have so far is that the 17th of May is a day, and days have 24 hours. 17*5*24=2040. So in the year 2040, the 17th of may doesn't really satisfy being a geometric date. But maybe The 2nd of January would be better, 2 * 1 * 20=40. Or the 24th of may, 2048: 2*4^5=2048. Hmm, something of a curio indeed... In... Sneed.

Whenever something is marketed as "consensus" by monkoloids, it eventually turns out to be a lie so this is an extremely strong hint already that the big gangbang never happened.

There are other problems as well.

Tldr they're reducing science to "let's run 100,000 simulations and chose the model that we like most until it gets invalidated by new data" now.
