/sci/ - Science & Math

There is a connection out there, my friends. You just have to find it.

"God doesn't play cards."

"Gravitation is responsable for people falling in love."

"The true sign of intelligence is knowing how to do triple integrals."

Would anything in today's world impress Einstein?

"Every one who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe-a spirit vastly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble."
- Albert Einstein

How does it feel when one of the greatest minds to ever walk this Earth believed in magical invisible entities?

Check and mate, materialists.

Space = energy(matter)
Time = electricity(magnetism)

If quantum physics is any indicating of how the universe and time and space really works [and let's remember: quantum physics has a proven track record of making awfully accurate predictions] there is no such thing as an absolute, linearly-moving, time that unfolds reality through space, from past to present. That's right, you've all heard time is relative. But don't stop there. Time is a fucking illusion and so is free will. Every moment you have or ever will experience has always existed in the multiverse. Time is simply the direction by which our consciousness experiences itself, *randomly, stochastically, entropically* traveling from this 'now' to that 'now' through the infinite number of all possible eventualities of all possible universes, that are always there, as potential probabilities. Consciousness causes collapse, a condensation of all physical possibilities into a single occurrence as seen by the observer. Our personal consciousness is just that single timeline moving though this infinite sprawling network of all possible universes.

This probably works

i'm reading programming in c by kochan and it says "whereas in mathematics a subscripted variable, xi, refers to the ith element x in a set"

what the fuck does that mean? i didn't do much maths. i know the basics of arrays but what the fuck does that mean?

"Keep your pimp hand strong and your bitches working long" - Albert Einstein

bump with enstein

Today I overheard some guys talking about that we call vacuum a vacuum and don't use the somewhat more fiting word aether just because Eistein didn't like it because it was associated with pre relativistic concept of lumiferous aether.

Is that true?

Albert Einstein - 1948

Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands, partly because of competition among the capitalists, and partly because technological development and the increasing division of labor encourage the formation of larger units of production at the expense of smaller ones. The result of these developments is an oligarchy of private capital the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society. This is true since the members of legislative bodies are selected by political parties, largely financed or otherwise influenced by private capitalists who, for all practical purposes, separate the electorate from the legislature. The consequence is that the representatives of the people do not in fact sufficiently protect the interests of the underprivileged sections of the population. Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights.

/sci/ and /diy/ unify gravity?
Posting on both board atm.

Physics can't govern physics, because that would just create an infinite regress, so, evolutionarily speaking, if physics has laws, who governs it? Don't say God.

If I'm going at the speed of light and something next to me is going in the same direction at the speed of light, that thing would seem to me to be going at the speed of light instead of staying still


explain how this is possible.

You need to state the whole problem. You can't just state the last few sentances.

Why are ashkenazi jews so smart?

I am convinced that He (God) does not play dice.

So here's my final understanding of relativity and time dilation after reading my 100th article on it. I think I am even more confused now. The universe is expanding at the speed of light, and so everything within it including you and spacetime is already moving at c. Any accelleration is actually not an accelleration, all movement is through time which has to warp and slow down to compensate for your "faster than light" travel. The faster something "moves" the more time needs to slow down. Light itself is not subject to this because photons travel as if time doesn't exist. Am I wrong?

Maybe I'm just retarded or something but I just can't seem to grasp why the faster you go "time" goes slower or that you cannot go faster than the speed of light. In any case, if light waves use all of their motion to travel through space at light speed and therefore have absolutely no motion through time, then why is it that light that was shone from faraway galaxies takes millions of years to reach us? If there was absolutely no motion through time, then it would seem that the light would have reached every destination possible instantly.

I am pretty much okay with this since I am dead now.

>Do you think the dark energy can be explained with help of quantum physics?

Yes
The only thing we need now is more data.

>Why does my brain think thoughts?

A "though" is a concept arising from Is a consciousness. The consciousness is very ill defined, so much so, that you cannot quantitativly talk about it, until more definition is given.

Define what you are calling consciousness, and then we can try and talk.

HA HA HA HA HA

Like I'm gonna waste my time with pop-science bullshit. If you ever grow the fuck up, and read actual joural articles (and textbooks), then maybe we can talk.

>Atlas/Cern here might care to elaborate what's going on?

Yes
NOTHING IS GOING ON!
stop being so fucking gullibe
