I learned this lesson over years of management.
Most of the actions you take are a net negative to reaching whatever goal you are trying to obtain. A high percentage of the time the best course of action is to take no action at all.
The number of times I've reached my hand into something just to realize it would have sorted itself out are countless. I've seen people die because they wanted to get involved in a process that ultimately has no consequences to their or the companies functioning, and in fact would have been better if they had just stood 100 feet back and took pictures.
I guess what I'm trying to say is "look before you leap". Even the most simple looking processes can be confounded by myriad of damnable variables.

Because with gravitational time dilation something is actually happening to space. Space is getting squished the more gravity there is which in turn causes time to go slower. With time dilation from velocity nothing is happening to space, apparently if you got in a spaceship and went really fast around the earth a few times the people on earth would have aged faster than you did, so the faster you go the slower time goes. And I initially thought that well we know that when we go faster our mass increases so maybe it's that increase in mass that's affecting the local gravity around us causing space to squish a bit and slowing time down. But apparently that's not the case, mass isn't involved, only velocity is. So somehow the universe knows how fast you're going relative to everything else and adjusts the speed of time where you are accordingly

>> No.15899755

>>15899666
Time is moving at different speeds all over the universe. Time travel in the scientific sense just means say starting at earth, then travelling to somewhere with high gravity like a black hole, then waiting for a bit, then travelling back to earth. The gravity near the black hole is much grater which causes time to go slower. And because you were there in the slow time spot for a while things were progressing faster on earth. You're still on the same timeline though, there's no jumping timelines or anything like in the movies. Time is kind of like temperature, where it's different in different areas. Obviously its function is totally different though

>>15899755
Saying time is moving at different speeds sounds wrong. I think anon means time is just recorded events relative to other events. So, time is more like a pattern and measure we're looking at rather than a real thing. Time would be a conceptual system of effects all over the universe and never really a cause of anything. Time happens after the facts as an abstract thing; like a metronome, it's more of a tool to help cope and create systems to further cope and make music out of chaos. Like a longitude and latitude grid, you can worship its precision all you want, but thinking it's real is like thinking the tail wags the dog. Which is fine ofc, but it's more of a convenient truth to get us from a to b than something that's actually in our faces.

>> No.15899875

>>15899745
The four velocity of every object (massless or not) is c at all times. Something that's not moving relative to you moves through time with c. An object that's moving relative to you has velocity components in the space direction. Its four velocity vector got rotated into the space direction. That automatically means that it's moving slower through time

That's not what's happening. From your perspective, people on earth are moving at some speed relative to you, too. That's the point here; the situation is perfectly symmetric. Hence, they will not have aged faster when you land or something like that. The point of that experiment is to show you that the age difference comes from the fact that the spaceship must have had to accelerate and decelerate at some point, so the situations is not symmetric anymore. In GRT, acceleration and gravity are the same thing, so in that thought experiment it's ultimately gravity causing the age difference.

the time comes out the same his watch will by synchronized with everyone on earth after land

however if we watch him with a telescope and radio him asking for the time, he will "appear" to be moving ahead of his reported time, until he returns back to earth at which point he appears to suddenly accelerate faster than light before landing at exactly the right time.

time dilation does not literally accelerate or slow down temporal quantities, its only a relative distortion that goes away the moment you sync reference frames

the only theory that has any evidence for time dilation is muon tomography and its based entirely off the idea that known cosmic rays are too slow to penetrate all the way though the atmosphere by the time a muon should interact and be destroyed, so somehow a muon wont react with air while its compressing space. or it's equally likely there are just more and faster muons than we expect and perhaps special high mass cosmic rays manage to decay into a muon right before hitting the surface

Such as the Sun having a spasm and attacking the planet - what would actually happen is there would be a consequential change of circumstance and life would miss the event or it would be distorted enough to make it painless.

The Time Travel Interpretation of the Bible
>https://vixra.org/abs/2304.0073
We describe the Biblical work of ages as a time travel program for saving humanity from extinction. God's existence is proven as a consequence of the existence of time travel, which is supposed. We present the case that Abraham's grandson Jacob, also called Israel, is Satan. We make the case that the Israelites are described as God's chosen people in the Bible despite their identity as the children of Satan because God's Messiah is descended from Abraham through Satan. They are chosen as the ancestors of the Messiah rather than as Satan's children. We propose an interpretation in which God commanded Abraham to kill his son Isaac to prevent Isaac from becoming the father of Satan. We suggest that God stayed Abraham's hand above Isaac because preventing the existence of Satan would also prevent the existence of Satan's descendant the Messiah. The history of the Israelites is summarized through Jesus and Paul. This book is written so that the number of believers in the world will increase.

The definition of the superposition principle on its own doesn't help intuit anything about the peculiarities of QM. The actual question raised by some naive kid that thought retards like you would help him instead of being the irredeemable cancer you are.
The original poster talking about unintuitive quantum mechanism probably only heard the word superposition in relation to a particle supposedly having multiple positions at the same time when you calculate using Schrödinger.

Yeah, from your side. You've claimed that somehow QM superposition is something magically different from what Anons have posted. Go ahead, "use your fucking words" and tell us. Still waiting. And no, you shifting from "QM superposition" to "QM peculiarities" is no answer.

The sentence is

The post this is replying to does not claim anything that contradicts this statement. So what's wrong in the post retard?
>You've claimed that somehow QM superposition is something magically different from what Anons have posted.
You're replying to a post that explicitly says the opposite. Again nothing you say relates to anything I actually say. I am using very simple language but you still pretend I'm saying something completely different. Why can't you just engage sincerely like I'm doing with you?
>it's fundamentally different
Again, the exact opposite the actual words in the post say in context.
>That's not what was asked or mentioned.
Yes it is retard. The original faggot mentioned QM superposition specifically.
Understanding how to add rotation and translation is very easy and intuitive, the Schrödinger equation, the concept you'll find if you look up "qm superposition" is not as easy and intuitive but you keep pretending it is for some reason. Why? What the fuck is wrong with your brain?

lmfao I was really thinking you're trolling but with such a wall of text you're actually for real. Look. QM superposition implies that you think superposition is weird. Otherwise your have just said QM or something else more specific. You're just backpedaling after you noticed that you fucked up differentiating between QM and QM superposition after multiple people pointed it out, and now you're just plain disingenuous about it. See all your post in the beginning containing nothing but insults. Go fuck yourself, acquire some basic reading comprehension, then come back.
>the concept you'll find if you look up "qm superposition" is not as easy and intuitive
lol yes it is. Adding things is easy. Linear algebra is easy. What makes QM weird is the measurement process, but you have no single clue about any of that.

Dot and cross multiplication aren't the same thing and for literally no fucking reason people are taught one and then switched to the other before having the difference explained to them.

No it doesn't you mindless fuck. Trouble with Schrödinger does not imply trouble with combining translation and rotation for example.

You're still dishonestly misrepresenting everything I say. Every post you make is mindless noise. What do you expect other than getting called out as the mindless subhuman retard you are?
>Adding things is easy.
Which is why nobody finds it unintuitive or is confused about it. Someone expressed confusion about qm and you're still ranting about the dumbest shit imaginable. Pure noise and dishonest horseshit. Almost every sentence you wrote in the last few posts is misrepresents something I said as the exact opposite to what was very clearly meant. I went over multiple examples of this dishonesty but you just keep going with the irrelevant noise. Seriously, what is wrong with your brain?
>actual physicist
You're an incompetent idiot. You have never done anything in your life except parrot. If anyone pays you for anything they're being scammed. If you were literate you would understand my posts aren't about physics but the fact that you're mind is mush. You don't have the slightest clue how to begin thinking or contributing to any discussion about anything. Sincerely look at the examples of your shit I gave you. Seriously consider what you actually said in the posts you made in this thread. If you're actually serious about any of these posts there are toddlers with more rigor and honesty in their thinking than you. You're the retard destroying all public forums with incoherent noise.

No, you can't. The spaceship must have accelerated and decelerated, that's where the delay ultimately comes from. It does not come from velocity. Only acceleration does that.

The key information you are overlooking is that only the blue clock is an inertia reference frame. The red clock isn't, it's accelerating (it's orbiting the blue clock). Time dilation becomes much easier to comprehend when you realize that all you need to do is consider who is actually accelerates or decelerates.

The Scientific Method's rulings. Who needs an experiment to start the expedition 'what if?' and then have it eliminated with the answer.

Technically, asking 'what if?' is forward momentum in light of discovery, with a bit more effort from mind, it is science. No experimentation involved. But experiments are good for science and so is the process of elimination. However, it's quite a big jump to suggest only experiments count. I can do either an expedition, elimination, elipse or experiment.

Delta functions are some bullshit
[eqn]\delta(x) := \begin{cases} 0 & \text{ for } x\neq 0 \\ \infty & \text{ for } x= 0 \end{cases}[/eqn]
[math]2 \cdot \infty = \infty[/math] so
[eqn] 2 \delta(x) = \begin{cases} 0 & \text{ for } x\neq 0 \\ \infty & \text{ for } x= 0 \end{cases}[/eqn]
Yet [math]\delta(x) \neq 2 \delta(x)[/math] since
[eqn] \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta(x) dx = 1 \\
\int_{-\infty}^\infty 2\delta(x) dx = 2 \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta(x) dx = 2[/eqn]
