What are some things you know are true, but you just can't prove it yet.Me: Vector and scalar are the same thing.
>>16808433> Me: Vector and scalar are the same thing.What does that even mean? How is a vector (a point [math] x = (x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n) \in \mathbb{R}^n [/math], as an example) the same thing as a scalar?
>>16808435Set n = 1
>>16808440A scalar is a vector, yes. A vector is not a scalar. That's a one-way door.
>>16808433eh, scalars are "point vectors" in the same way that vectors are "line matrices", hell, scalars are also "point matrices", they are all tensors, just different in the dimensionality
>>16808433simulation theory
That determinism is false. The aeon didn't sit around planning a universe where I scream NIGGER as I blow a huge fart and give the thumbs up in November of 1994. Yet here we are.
>>168084331. Abiogensis isn't the origin of life and life has perhaps a single origin point involving earlier aspects of the universes creation.2. Intelligent life is rare to the point that even among trillions of planets we are likely a one-off or at best a one-off-at-a-time event3. Our universe/big bang originates in a similar way to to the origin of stars, and our universe is actually one among billions in a greater outer-verse (dark matter is actually the influence of nearby universes) and this sequence perhaps goes on infinitely, like nested Russian dolls and makes answering the exact origin and mechanical underpinnings of existence essentially unknowable.I also feel like we'll discover one of thesr to be true eventually too.
Our solar system was engineered.
>>16808433>Vector and scalar are the same thing.coordinate transformation of a vector of arbitrary length vs a scalar
>>16808433"Tired light theory"Basically that cosmic redshift is a function of energy lost due to long term light propagation through a noisy universe and not expansion of empty space.
>>16808433nyquist is bullshitpapp engine is realsemiconductors and magnetism break entropytheres no fields or strings, its all just particles all the way down, even photons are made up of even smaller discrete quantum particles
>>16808433The true mechanisms underpinning the universe are both pre-geometric AND mathematically grotesque,
Antigravity is actually possible via means that are practical on a small enough scale to be useful to humans.
Dark matter doesn't exist. Dark energy doesn't exist. It's dark because there is nothing there.
>>16808433That something exists outside the universe
>>16808443Just let the base field be R^n.
1 + 2 + 3 + ... is NOT -1/12
>>16808433Consciousness is 'fuzzy' in time.I.e, it doesn't exist exactly right now, but can communicate with itself in the past and future to a limited extent.I fully recognize how incredibly schizo that sounds.
>>16809304>>>/x/41246096
>>16809304sounds like you're just describing the concept of hysteresisor even, memory lol
You can obtain heat for boiling the water by cooling surrounding environment.
>>16809395What I meant is that you can boil liquid from ambient heat, that can power a turbine, and with connected heat pumps, you can extract heat from environment as source of power. Rankin doesn't apply, because you are not using same device to obtain power and using power to pump heat, Newton doesn't apply because it's open system...
>>16808433Yeah, they're both tensors. Scalar is a rank zero tensor, vector rank 1, matrix rank 2...
>>16808913If dark matter doesn't exist, then explain this
>>16809480or maybe gravity doesn't actually follow an inverse square law. maybe for shorter distances that's a good approximation but over intergalactic distances it's incorrect.
>>16809485except gravity was tested over intergalactic distances with things like the CMB and lensing, and they confirm GR predictions
