/sci/ - Science & Math

I love how so many /sci/borgs always thinks a lack of academic achievement is a matter of lack of intelligence.


"What, you didn't finish your masters in X amount of arbitrary time. Well that couldn't have had anything to do with the complicated nature of life, it must be because you are retarded. Hooray! I have a new arbitrary basis upon which to feel better than others while ignoring the temporary nature of the very identity which I am needlessly compelled to conquer all other temporary identities with!"

I'll shorten it to this:

Can time run backwards.

Does time have an "equal and opposite reaction" since it is a physical phenomenon.

Is my understanding of the fourth dimension as a series of 3d sculptural "moments" fair?

Is time merely one way of running through the "sculptures?" Is there antitime?

What is self awareness (cascade of neurochemical signals traded by neurons) in this hypothetical anti-time? What of the observer effect?

Can planck time be divided arbitrarily and infinitely into smaller moments? If so, does this mean each moment contains within it insurmountable infinities of missed data? Can science ever fully understand the universe, or is it destined to keep adding nines to the %99.999999999999999 percent it does understand?
