global warming

If you can prove to me, clearly, without semantics, without documentaries from 2018 or photos of American beaches from different eras that global warming is false, I swear I will accept my concession and say I was wrong from the beginning.

Holy shit I just learned that Heisenberg uncertainty principle has nothing to with quantum mechanics and is just a consequence of wave properties and it is a special case of fourier uncertainty principle. It's literally as simple as how the frequency spectrum is spread out if the wave is confined in a narrow spot in time domain and vice versa. There's literally nothing special or mysterious about it. Why did no one explain it like this to me

Calculus and Analog Signal Analysis
델타-함수-1-1-1200x900
I studied biomedical engineering in undergrad over 10 years ago and studied a bit of calculus like multivariate and differential equations.
Also studied a bit of analog signal analysis which involved circuit analysis of transient signals, Fourier and Laplace transforms.
However I want to study these again more indepth to refresh and expand my knowledge, as well as have any of the calculus and other math background necessery to understand this at a deeper level, and further topics.

Mathematical logic is the study of formal logic within the context of mathematics, focusing on the mathematical properties of formal logic systems, such as their expressive and deductive power.
With that being said do you think its possible to overcome any paradox by the simple addition of an extra dimension given that any statement can be stated in a 2 dimensional hierarchical space and as a consequence any complex polynomial with a contradiction is just misunderstood space the logic has tangled itself a higher dimensional space

Woah wait, hold on... THIS is why Pluto isn't a planet? This is what the criteria for planet is?? I always assumed the people who cry about Pluto were dumbasses, but I actually agree now.

Clearing your orbit is a stupid fucking criteria for being a planet. You're telling me if Mars were exactly the same but had large debris around it, it suddenly wouldn't qualify as a planet anymore? How do you even fucking quantify this, at what arbitrary line do we declare a certain amount of debris is too much. Holy shit they were right about Pluto

An objection to many worlds from anthropics
bzsudkhtatkb5tg31fmv-2280753242
Before I begin this article, let me say: I am not an expert on the many worlds interpretation of quantum physics. You shouldn't really trust what I have to say on this subject. The extent of my expertise is having gotten an A in high school physics and read some Eliezer Yudkowsky articles about many worlds. I could tell you almost nothing about the physics behind many worlds. Fortunately, my argument doesn't hinge on highly precise facts about physics.

The basic idea of many worlds is that each time a quantum mechanical event happens, the universe splits so that there's a world where it turns out each of the ways it could have. So, for instance, if a particle can either go left or right, the world splits and there's one world where it goes left and another where it goes right. This may sound ridiculous and gerrymandered, but it allegedly falls straightforwardly out of existing physical equations rather than requiring an epicycle.

When does the exclusion principle kick in?
1742611157133300
If you have two electrons really far away from each other, you can just think about them as independent particles doing their thing. When they are close together, they start getting the quantum effects like "cant be in the same state".
Its the same for composite particles like protons, the internal particles are considered linked and subject to collective rules, but not the particles of two random protons on two different planets. They are just disconnected.
How does this work formally? When do multiple particles become "a system"?
When they become entangled?
What do you call billions of entangled particles? A condensate?

I've watched countless videos discussing quantum entanglement by "experts" and walked away with two different versions of it.

1. Measuring a single entangled particle will directly effect the spin of the other regardless of distance
2. They're just synchronized so it just "appears" that they're interacting when measured

So which one is true?

He then says to you, "Do you want to pick door No. 2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?

Why is the Leibniz notation in derivatives so widespread? Especially in USA?
Lagrangian notation is superior in every way, if you have a single variable function you don't need to specify what variable you're taking the derivative of you just add a little ' on top of the function value and you're set. And when you have a multivariable function you can just (for example when taking derivative with respect to x of f(x,y)) write f_x(x,y). I have never understood why some people want to write so many fucking words when it can be done much more simply. Is it just to look more smart? I don't get it.

Why Might Congenital Blindness Protect Against Schizophrenia?

Differences in Brain Development
People born blind have structural and functional changes in their brains, particularly in areas related to sensory processing and perception. These changes might provide resilience against the neural disruptions that contribute to schizophrenia.

Lack of Visual Hallucinations
Visual processing is a major factor in schizophrenia. Since congenitally blind individuals do not have visual experiences, they may be less susceptible to certain hallucination-related mechanisms.

Enhanced Social Processing
Blind individuals often develop strong social and verbal communication skills, which might protect against the social withdrawal and cognitive dysfunction associated with schizophrenia.

Reduced Dopamine Dysregulation
Schizophrenia is linked to excessive dopamine activity, particularly in the visual and cognitive regions. Since blind individuals process the world differently, their dopamine systems may be less prone to the disruptions that trigger psychosis.

You can raise your IQ by taking multiple IQ tests and getting better at them
>Nooo that doesn't count you have to take the test only once!!!
Skill/performance is determined by consistency within the long run, maybe it's time to admit that IQ tests are bullshit if you think that practice is considered "cheating"

Existence of Consciousness
Screenshot 2025-03-28 at 15.03.43
Our curiosity is foundational to our conscious existence, and our curiosity about our existence feels specific to our consciousness. Furthermore, this feeling of specificity feels universal to consciousness itself. Representative of curiosity about consciousness is the belief in universality of this feeling of specificity.
----------
The assumption, "universality of specificity", provides the foundations necessary for our curiosities about consciousness.
----------
Our curiosities relate our existence to the existence of things, and therefore, our relatability is representative of the feeling of specificity of our curiosity. Existence of the notion of relatability universally represents aspects of specificity. On the other hand, existence of anything must relate to the notion of existence. Relatability of the notion of existence specifies aspects of universality. Let existential truth represent existence of the notion of existence and let existential curiosity represent existence of the notion of relatability. Existence of the notion of existence trivially relates the notion of existence to itself, and therefore must assume the existence of the notion of relatability. Existence of the notion of relatability must relate to the notion of existence. So, there is a existential truth-existential curiosity duality which we call existential duality.

Our relatability to existence of the notion of relatability is represents our feeling of existence of consciousness. Our relatability to existence of the notion of existence represents our feeling of our existence.
----------
Existential duality is foundational for the feeling of conscious existence. Our relatability to existential duality represents the feeling of our conscious existence and corresponds to the feeling of existence of consciousness relative to our consciousness.
----------

/crg/ - Cellular Reprogramming General #3

>What is this all about?
https://rentry.co/cr_general

>/sci/ anon found a way to safely and reliably activate Yamanaka factors, repairing your worn out body and reducing cellular age.
what I wanna know is, does this really do everything we need to fully restore ourselves? how long would that take? does this really address everything? seems like it addresses a lot of the problems people have on this board.

>We just need something that rebuilds the telomeres
Here ya go friend, just activate those Yamanaka factors https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3317569/

>Can't sleep
That’s a core benefit of the stack

>Still can't come up with a reliable solution for baldness
Allegedly its even growing new follicles back

>Protocol
It's a two step process.

Step1:
500mg Curcumin
500mg or so Tributryn
Take about a dropper full of B12.

Wait an hour.

Then, think of this as a balanced dose to start the reaction.

Step 2:
300mg Liposomal Apigenin
Another 500mg of Tributryn
About 500mg of either NAD or some combo of NAD and NMN.

Repeat step 2, 2-4+ times a day.

One week on one week off to avoid T cells exhaustion.

Ultimately this is your immune system first reprogramming itself and then going out to the rest of you. The T cells are able to identify cell wall markers where issues are the most severe and those will need to be targeted first before any specific issue.

Give it a little wiggle room if you don't need as much NAD or Tributryn. NAC is a good add in as well while doing this if you have a history of smoking or lung problems.

Universe 25
chrome_bOL3sP2hXS
The "Universe 25" experiment is one of the most terrifying experiments in the history of science, which, through the behavior of a colony of mice, is an attempt by scientists to explain human societies. The idea of "Universe 25" Came from the American scientist John Calhoun, who created an "ideal world" in which hundreds of mice would live and reproduce. More specifically, Calhoun built the so-called "Paradise of Mice", a specially designed space where rodents had Abundance of food and water, as well as a large living space. In the beginning, he placed four pairs of mice that in a short time began to reproduce, resulting in their population growing rapidly. However, after 315 days their reproduction began to decrease significantly. When the number of rodents reached 600, a hierarchy was formed between them and then the so-called "wretches" appeared. The larger rodents began to attack the group, with the result that many males begin to "collapse" psychologically. As a result, the females did not protect themselves and in turn became aggressive towards their young. As time went on, the females showed more and more aggressive behavior, isolation elements and lack of reproductive mood. There was a low birth rate and, at the same time, an increase in mortality in younger rodents. Then, a new class of male rodents appeared, the so-called "beautiful mice". They refused to mate with the females or to "fight" for their space. All they cared about was food and sleep. At one point, "beautiful males" and "isolated females" made up the majority of the population.

According to Calhoun, the death phase consisted of two stages: the "first death" and "second death." The former was characterized by the loss of purpose in life beyond mere existence — no desire to mate, raise young or establish a role within society.

What do you think, is it flat? Is it finite?

I've always imagined the universe as 3D-flat and finite, more or less spherical in shape, but expanding at the speed of light, so that one could never reach the outer boundary, like a bubble that grows infinitely larger.

semester level calendar
Should school years be split in two? Instead of going from mid-August through the end of May or early September through late May or summer solstice, why not have two equally-long breaks from Christmas to the beginning of February and roughly summer solstice to the beginning of August? In this system, kindergarten would start twice a year at the beginning of the August and February semesters; students would advance twice a year, so on paper, no one in the same grade would be more than half a year apart in age. Most elementary schools already have multiple classrooms per grade, so there shouldn't be any issue regarding staff except for maybe extremely rural areas.

Pros:
-(Theoretically) no 6-year-olds going to kindergarten with kids who just turned 5
-More-or-less solves birthday cutoff dilemmas
-Not having to wait nearly a year for another school vacation longer than a week
-Not being stuck with a shitty teacher for an entire year of elementary school
-If behind, easier to catch up over a school break

gene comparison is possible

have a look at this, it is possible to throw in 15 organisms for comparison out of which 2 are insects (peripatuses) and the rest are related to fish in some way (gorilla is very derived fish but ultimately its ancestors came from the sea)

then we compare their genes and see that insects end up quite far from the fish forming entirely different branch

Universe as Hyperspheres, but multible.
Screenshot 2025-04-01 044742
I've been thinking about the shape and structure of the universe lately, and a weird but kinda grounded theory came to mind. Tell me if I’m completely insane here, or if there’s something to it:

What if the universe is a hypersphere—a 3D surface of a 4D object?
That part isn’t new, cosmologists already talk about that.

But here’s the twist:

What if there are many hyperspheres—adjacent to each other, like bubbles in some higher-dimensional space—and each one has its own rules of reality?

Different physics. Different logic.
Maybe in one universe 1+1=3, and it makes sense there.
Maybe that’s what the multiverse actually is: not parallel timelines, but adjacent logical realities, wrapped into hyperspheres.

Now take it a step further:

What if those hyperspheres aren’t the top level?
What if they’re just the protons and neutrons of something even bigger?

Like, they form atoms in a higher-scale dimension we can’t perceive.
Maybe they interact to form matter in a realm beyond anything we can experience.
Maybe our entire universe is just a tiny part of a meta-molecule floating in something else's bloodstream.

And maybe the weirdness of quantum mechanics—nonlocality, entanglement, randomness—is actually just spillover from the structure of that higher-level physics.

Question about universe

Hi smart people. I have a question for you...

If the universe is infinite couldn't we follow stars back to the origin/point of the big bang? For example if our star is 13 billion years old, but a distant star is 12 billion years old wouldn't that indicate the direction the big bang came from?

And if we were to survive for billions of years wouldn't we eventually need to follow the "wave" finding younger and younger stars so we're not in complete darkness?
