Anon you don't need academic texts if you are this fucking retarded.

This might be a dumb question to ask but I'll say it anyway. In theory, would it be mathematically possible to connect two computers together? And by that, I mean having two computers sending messages to each other without having to rely on anything physical. No cable, wi-fi, bluetooth, radio, satellites, not using light in any way whatsoever. Just pure mathematics. Can such a thing be realized or would it actually be impossible in theory?

Imagine wanting to interact with something like this lmfao and the guy earlier who was saying Wikipedia isn't "to the point", revealing to us all his preference for "that xAI edge" over simple technical language. I love chatgpt because it has offered me a super super low effort method of filtering people who otherwise might have convinced me to attend to their notions and waste valuable time and effort trying to determine whether they were dumb or just weird. Now I can simply ask people I meet their opinion on chatgpt and it's 1.00 AUC classification on whether or not their thoughts have any merit whatsoever. It's like asking, on a first date, whether a woman is a "swiftie" - it's so easy and offers so much information and there's no pretense at all; the people you are trying to filter with these questions basically line up to be filtered, not even realizing what they are admitting to. Thanks chatgpt!

The best university for every single subject is always a public, state owned one that not only costs less, but actually teaches you the subject.
Expensive, private universities or prestigious ones are only for daddy's nepobabies who need to network with other daddy's nepobabies.

So honnestly, how mind boggling:

You got a number in the universe, lets say: a quadrillion than every zero after it is ofc ten times the previous amount..

So..

1,0•10e97 is ten times 1,0•10e96

An YTastronomer says that the observable universe is estimated 1,8 times Googolplex

But the previous exponent number is ten times repeated the next so something being 1,1 Googleplex must be 1,0•10e100 + 1,0•10e10 (10•10e110)

So if a Googleplex is a lot than something to the exponent 101 is ten times a Googleplex meaning which is so sickening large its not even funny..

Is be thinking about that, good night. And than in that amount of space only a single blue glove with life?

Those distances are so mind boggling that a star at the edge of the universe its light takes so long to reach us so wtf (sleep with a giant headache)

This pic alone proves that most people lack some or all of the following:

- Theory of mind
- Self-reflection
- The capacity to understand and model their own experience

It blew my mind but most people don't understand the differences, similarities and relationships between the following:

- Hallucination
- Visualization
- Visual memory
- Dreaming
- Drawing
- Proprioception
- Spatial reasoning

I've seen dozens of aphantasia threads and almost every "argument" is some crippled confusing one of those things for the other or misunderstanding how they are related.

Conclusion: most people have a severe mental deficiency wrt. understanding their own mind, whether or not they can visualize.

Seems like the common factor is you not understanding huh?
Do you also blame textbooks when you're too dumb to understand them?

I'm thinking the answer is yes, which is why coping regards will have to screech I have this make believe idea of "aphantasia" as a coping mechanism for being life failures and low IQ. Watch..

If 2D creature sees a 3D object interacting with 2d space like this(ie. Bounded by his plane of existence) but it doesn't makes the object 2D. Using same logic, If a being from higher plane of existence/dimension interacts with our 3D world,we'll also see him being bounded by our dimension/plane of existence (ie. Death,birth, time and space) but it doesn't means he is a 3D being. Could this be why when higher beings/God(eg. Jesus, krishna etc) interacts with humans beings he takes birth and then dies? It could also be reason why we don't we see God as his real form because then he'll be bounded by our limits. We would a able to see him as a person, kill him, or just talk to him.

I don't think anything other than 3 special dimensions can exist. We are 3d, but we see in 2d. A flatlander sees in 1d, and a 4d being would see in 3d.

Seeing in 3d would mean you see all sides of an object simultaneously. Genuinely what the fuck does that even mean, it makes no sense, it's physically impossible. Same with seeing in 1d. You can't actually visualize this, the closest is seeing in 2d with constant vertical coloring like a bar code, but that's still 2d. The concept of zero thickness makes no physical sense.

And you might say just because you can't visualize it, doesn't mean it can't exist. But what would it actually mean for their to be 4d space. And I'm not talking about spacetime, where time is a dimension but clearly treated differently, I mean full blown 4d space. Like how a flatlander would see a square as a line, we see a cub as a square (straight on, or a collection of quadrilaterals from angles). A 4d being would look at a 3d cube they way we look at a square, and see the entirety of it at the same time. And to me, that is physically impossible

>>16849405
4d space could exist i suppose. I reckon it doesn't though, not because of its weirdness but because 2d space and 1d space don't exist so why would 4d exist
>>
>>16849405
>>Seeing in 3d would mean you see all sides of an object simultaneously. Genuinely what the fuck does that even mean, it makes no sense, it's physically impossible.
A 4D being would need a 3D retina to see in 3D obviously. Just shoot light from the 4th dimension onto a 3D object and it will hit every atom in that object and get reflected back into the 4th dimension where it eventually hits every point in the retina of the 4D being
>>
>>16849516
Uh oh anon. Atoms cannot exist in 4d
