did these retarded ethanol huffing savages happen to discover Ultima Thule with their stargazing crystals or whatever the fuck their ancestors used before white people arrived?

Except of course for explaining how life can travel vast distances and how the extreme conditions necessary for the emergence of life need not have ever been present on earth and how the extreme time scales for life to evolve to the current conditions need not be accounted for with earth's time frame alone.

If we are in a simulation isn't the obvious direction to pivot to is research into observing extremely high energy particle events and things at the smallest pixels of our reality to try to force memory errors and frame rate stuttering to get hints of the language our reality was engineered in. If we pushed on enough outlier cases in the simulation where it is forced to process extreme computations instead of approximating it we might be able to reverse engineer the source code reality is written in piece by piece.

>completely obvious reasons that only low IQ schizophrenics can't see.
And midwits can't explain any of the "obvious reasons", they can only regurgitate derogatory cliches to anyone who questions their infallible knowledge.

I recently finished a personal project after months of introspection. Atm friends and I are calling it "Psychological Profile Mapping" (PPM).

In essence, it's a framework to use in doing introspection. It's not a replacement for a clinician. We highly recommend taking it to a clinician actually. This is just another tool in your tool box. It's not an end all be all, just an earnest attempt to improve mental health and cut out a lot of wasted time and effort.

An example of how a PPM could be useful:
Say you are experiencing depressive symptoms while also having ADHD-like traits. Your depression may actually be related to dopamine issues and not serotonin. So taking an SSRI may not have any benefit, or could even be harmful. While taking an NDRI might relieve depressive symptoms on top of helping manage your ADHD-like traits.
Being able to recognize your root issue is likely dopamine means you can skip the trial and error of antidepressants and go straight towards getting an ADHD evaluation. Handing your PPM to your clinician should help them see the logic behind it and be more inclined towards treating ADHD symptoms first instead of depression symptoms.
(I write from personal experience as someone that got to end antidepressant trialing quickly and move to ADHD treatment for this reason)

With the web version it's mostly for people that struggle with noticing things about themselves. A baseline level of metacognition is almost a requirement from my experience thus far. But I've also learned people can train some awareness from genuinely attempting to engage even if their base level is low.
At some point a lot of people just want to latch onto a framework of any kind. While that does instill some confidence, I'm equally worried about people getting too carried away into rabbit holes. Web modules can circumvent this issue by keeping the scope more narrow hopefully.

Your Discord link doesn't work. Maybe the hacker known as 4chan added a filter against Discord links because of the spam.
I've got a female friend (real female) with a probable ADHD and autism. She has 0 clues about herself. She's obviously extroverted, but she genuinely thinks she's introverted, for example. Introspection is very hard, and my guess is it's even harder for extroverted people because they spend less time with their own thoughts.

Fact checking entails opening a book or a paper, this is why complete reliance upon LLMs is stupid. The good thing about LLM is sometimes it gives you the citation so you can check for yourself, as you should do. Sadly, i can imagine an LLM giving fake theorems and fake books to back them up. Most entry level science, like Newton second law is not normally a claim you have to cite (and not all laws have a hint like Newton's name). Think of a kid learning Newton's Fourth Law from ChatGPT.

To understand light you need to understand the base building block of the universe that light is made from.
So...we take a Pi quantity of magnetized, RGB base building block cubes at the bottom Planck level riding upon a square grid track lattice matrix.
Then, to make either a string or a photon, we attach the magnetized RGB cubes in a straight line bar magnet configuration. The more train cars we attach onto our straight line photon chain, the more force it impacts with.
Give it a push in the middle, instead of the engine or caboose, and you get a string vibrating instead of a photon moving in a straight line.
Groups of the photons traveling magnetically interact with one another and form emergent larger structures much like sand on a plate with sound waves, creating the wave visualized in the double slit.

So, everything in our universe is made from these base Planck layer RGB magnetized building blocks. Strangely enough the human eye can detect a single photon.
The singularity at the start, and every black hole, are simply locations where no empty track hole locations exist, every location is filled up with broken down smallest level parts packed nut to butt, so no movement can occur, no observation, and thusly, no time.
>>
>>16869222
Thanks for responding seriously.
>>
What’s the math?
If photons are “chains of Planck RGB cubes,” what equations govern them, and how do you recover Maxwell’s equations / QED and E = h f?

Lorentz invariance problem.
A fixed square lattice at the Planck level usually implies a preferred rest frame. How does your model avoid breaking special relativity (or predict the size of the violation)?

Double-slit doesn’t require photon–photon interaction.
Interference shows up even when photons go through one at a time, so “groups of photons magnetically interacting” can’t be the main mechanism. What does your model predict in the single-photon limit?

“More cars = more force” is ambiguous.
Are you talking about higher energy, higher momentum, higher frequency, or higher intensity? Those aren’t the same thing.

Black holes / “no time.”
“No movement, no observation, thus no time” is not how GR formulates it. Time for an infalling observer behaves differently than for a distant observer; it’s not just “packed parts stop time.”

People often say ocean worlds can't possibly have technological life because they wouldn't be able to light fires under water. And harnessing of fire was the greatest human technology that enabled most of other human innovations. Which I do agree with the second part. But really, why are people so certain about this?

I can think of how technological life could emerge on ocean worlds. Semi aquatic life that evolves to live on floating debris on the surface of the ocean like icebergs, dense clusters of floating algae or some other material that floats. Like seals, and then they evolve to build floating and semi submerged shelters like beavers. They become intelligent and build submerged cities like giant boats or semi submerged ocean platforms. They'll be able to burn dried out aquatic vegetation for fire, or their own and animal waste. They can develop over shallows and build artificial islands. Eventually they discover fossil fuels and even coal can be mined under oceans and the rest is like human development. All this solves the can't light a fire on an ocean world problem.

You don't need any real technology to make basic use of geothermal vents, only some kind of primitive pincers so you don't get cooked along with the thing you're heating. And you don't need any technology at all if it goes the biological route I suggested. There are many chemical processes inside the body more elaborate than a fire. Why couldn't some of them evolve to become externalized and manipulable?

You're right. Whose to say metallurgy and combustion is the only viable tech tree?

I imagine an underwater civilization would rely much more heavily on organic tech, like domestication, selective breeding, and as they got more advanced, biological engineering to benefit themselves. Essentially in the absence of fire as a catalyst for performing work these aquatic creatures would have to rely on biology to get shit done. Unfortunately, biochemistry is a much less energetic catalyst than fire so as a consequence you would expect that aquatic civilizations would at first advanced much more slowly than fire and combustion based civilizations, especially in the early stages where all they have is selective breeding. Generations upon generations of people using domesticated creatures for a specific purpose breeding them for more efficient, useful, and specialized purposes until they create living tools and biotech.

It's too much, you're spreading yourself thin.
First of all you don't need to study sciences, it's all just memorization. So just focus on some core topics for categorization. What is alkaline? Get what I mean?
What type of algebra are you studying? Abstract? Linear?
Early physics is classical mechanics, memorize and study the first principles which is literally just a set of equations or physical rhetorical statements you can fit on one page.
This schedule looks like a total waste of a week.

>What type of algebra are you studying
I want to be so good at math that I can sleep during undergrad year 1 math classes I plan to do and still ace them. Well I'm not actually going to sleep but for me the science part is a lot more interesting than the math part. There's a reason the board is called /sci/ and not /math/ after all. High school was really boring so I left. I want to patch up on the math stuff I skipped out on and at least be adept at the basics. But really I want to dominate those classes. I'd rather sweat at home then in front of other students.
Realistically I'm aiming for basic competence (I can't put all my efforts into one field of math) so I at least know what the math professors will be talking about.

It's not my fault the jannies refuse to make a math and theology board called /math/
so for the time being you are stuck with my pompous arrogant opulent ass.
Science requires little to no thought. It's something machines could do, do, and would do much better. not even talking about AI, more like a sewing machine.
But either way science has nothing to do with thought(s), thinking, or rhetoric, it's about experimentation and measurement: COMPLETE ABSENCE OF MIND OR INTELLIGENCE.
But also to answer your question, no, that's too much math. Calculus literally isn't that big, unless you're doing proofs which you don't have an interest in.

>Any roadmap of books that I can practice and test myself from basic arithmetic to calculus?
Khan Academy is the best for this part. Book roadmaps are better suited for proof-based mathematics. You can skip most of KA videos and pick any openstax book or even better any physical book you have access to. The important thing about Khan A. is mastery of the interactive practice

Pretty much, the GR considerations are the most interesting part of portal physics.
As long as the portals are close enough together that we can assume gravitational acceleration to be constant, I don't think a floor-ceiling pair would pose any issues at all. Obviously you can't use one set of coordinates for the whole space but that's never been the case.
>>
>>16870683
I think that's his point. Portals are presumably a relativistic phenomenon (something which causes previously separate points in spacetime to coincide and be passed through), so you can't avoid treating the problem as a fully-relativistic one. Guy in the OP is just sloppily grafting geometry concepts onto classical field theory.

I can't stop thinking about this video. What if our universe is full of wormholes? And they distort gravity, so we can't understand why and need to assume "dark matter".
