Hey guys, Highschool Science Teacher from the future here.

[HSSTFTF !eXE9UPV972 No.4298953]

Basically, I'm here to give you all a low-down on the future understanding of biology, astronomy, evolution, psychology, chemistry, quantum mechanics, and all that other stuff. Partly because I'm bored, but mostly because I don't expect to be taken seriously anyway.

Feel free to ask me any science related question you want, but keep in mind that my job is to be a jack of all trades and a master of none. I can give you all explanations and such, but if you want specifics, I won't be able to help you. That's stuff you'll have to search (or I guess in this case, "discover") on your own.

I'll be as honest with you as possible if I get to a point that either I or the scientific community still don't understand. It's a privilege I don't give my students, but you guys are probably a lot smarter than me anyway. I only know what I've been told.

Shall we get started?

It's because the sugars in the bread have become heated enough that they've melted together, and then rehardened again. The microwave energizes the electrons in the bread, causing their fields to expand and allow for a larger variety of connections.

Think of it like this:

Sand and mud, over time, harden as water evaporates. Combined with pressure and time, this creates a sedimentary rock. And if you melt that rock instead, it hardens and you end up with a metamorphic rock. While the two rocks are made of the same materials, the process of heating the rock allowed the bonds to take on new and stronger formations.

Dark Matter is more or less the "fabric of the universe".

One of the experiments I have my students run is to take a bottle of syrup and drizzle it on a paper towel covering a small tubberware container. As they pour the syrup on, they start to see spots on the paper towel become darker than others, while other areas remain bright. The only spots that you won't see the paper towel are the places where the syrup has begun to seep through and create "black holes".

Current understanding is that Quasars "create" the universe. Going to the syrup example I give my students from >>4299056, the spot(s) where you pour the syrup is usually one of the spots that it begins to leak out as well.

The continual flow of energy through these spots gives the illusion that they rapidly moving away at an increasing rate, when in reality, matter and energy just continually flow away from it and into black holes. That's why matter (other than the ones close to the black holes we're near) will always appear to be accelerating away. Getting close to the center of a quasar is much like getting away from the center of a black hole; you just can't do it.

Doesn't exist in any "real" sense. Human lives can be extended, but never made immortal.

The ultimate problem is with the brain itself. While it's capable of the most intricate thoughts and ideas, there are still limits to its capabilities and just how much information it can hold. It's not a coincidence that people who are in the higher maths are often slow when they deal with simple equations. The brain functions by erasing information.

Long story short, "biological" and "immortality" simply don't go hand in hand. In the end, we're still required to sacrifice the thing that makes us human. If anything, the human dream has always been "To learn forever".

More or less, it does.

The brain functions by creating a "random" assortment of thoughts and ideas. If a "line" of thought is successful, the brain will use it more often while thoughts that are "dead ends" will simply die off.

The process of evolution and the process of thought, as it turns out, are disturbingly similar. If I could make another comparison, think of it like hiking trails. The longer and more complicated a trail is, the harder it is to take care of. As the trail "fades", it gets reformed slightly shorter every time simply because longer trails have a tendency to fade. The problem, though, is that these trails all exist on the same mountain, so while the possible trails are infinite, the actual number of trails is inherently limited.

Both, actually.

The forces are actually all different degrees of space time curvature, observed at different scales. As the forces become smaller, they become increasingly harder to tell apart. But the forces beyond gravity are actually so broad and slow moving that they govern the movements of entire galaxies.

"Polarity" is a little bit more complicated, as objects which have opposite poles are simply objects that exist is reverse time-frames of each other. Electrons are actually Anti-Matter, but because the mass between the electron and the Proton is not equal, they are stuck in state where they are pushing away from each other, but in reverse. I can go into more detail on that if you want, but it gets more confusing and I won't do the best job of explaining it.

[HSSTFTF !eXE9UPV972 No.4299248]

>>4299176
>just not easily retrieved/activated.
Actually, yeah. That more or less is the evidence.

Basically, the space that was used to create those past thoughts are remolded so that it can be used to create new thoughts. It's like a small trail that is extending off of a larger trail. Thoughts, like trails, don't go a single direction so while it is possible to recover and find that trail, a good portion of it will have worn away. The gaps can be connected, but they won't be exactly the same as the trail was before.

Basically, it's not that your brain "forces" the memory to be forgotten (Unless it finds that the path is "dangerous", which is like negative reinforcement). It's just that it becomes cloudy. By all means, it's still capable of becoming a "functional" trail once again, but only if the brain has reason to do so. Otherwise, it will simply continue using other trails that are easier and shorter to walk on.

Mostly because singularities turn out to be one of two events;
1) Points at which time is "infinite".
2) Points at which time is "non-existent".

Basically, time only exists where there is a combination of both energy and mass. Proportionally speaking, the more energy there is in an object, the faster it will go through time. The more mass there is in an object, the slower it will go through time.

Two events happen (which unless observed correctly, are completely indistinguishable) to cause these events. Either the mass of a "particle" becomes so large, that nothing can escape from it. Alternatively, the energy of a particle will become so large that it's impossible to go towards it.

Think of it as the difference between a faucet and a drain. You can't get out of the drain, but you can't climb up the faucet.

Hell, I don't know. I didn't design the system. We're told different things all the time about how it works. I'll say this much; Whatever technology is letting me speak with you already exists in your time. And strangely enough, people in my time still don't know about how it works. Either 1 of 3 things is happening:
1) People simply don't know
2) The people that knew "quit existing"
3) The people who know have kept their mouths shut.

Crystalline structures, but it's a little bit more complex than just that. The "life" in my time period doesn't mean the same thing as "life" in your time. Instead, we view matter in terms of "Adaptability/Intelligence".

Like I was saying about how all of the forces in the universe are part of a single "force" identified on different scales, it turns out that "life" is the same way. The further back you go in history and the smaller it is, the harder it becomes to distinguish between "life" and "non-life". "Crystalline structures" is about as specific as I can get, just because even though we have ideas of which ones were there, we don't know which ones were actually "life" and which ones simply helped the process along.

It's a problem we find that arises all throughout the genetic history of earth, honestly. Hell, we don't even know whether males or females "evolved" first. All we know is that as soon as one showed up, the other one cropped up in the species very soon after and BAM! We got our first examples of gender. All we know is that the genetics for "gender" existed before gender itself became a reality.

>More on polarity would also be appreciated.
Basically, polarity is actually a reverse in "time". The differences between Matter and Anti-Matter is that each one travels in time a different direction. Particles without polarity are essentially particles which are "timeless".

When Electrons and Protons interact, they are actually "pushing" away from each other. But because of this reverse in "time", pushing instead looks like pulling. Electrons are actually antimatter. The only reason the two never remain connected is because of their differences in mass (I remember learning why, but I can't remember what it was about the mass that made the difference). Anytime the electron combines with the proton, it instantaneously finds itself back on the outside of the shell. It's perpetually part of, but never attached to the proton.

Gravity's one I'm still really fuzzy on, but it's also a pushing force, caused by like-particles and their attempts to separate from each other. In a sense, black holes and quasars are the polar and opposite gravity particles, and that particles are like miniature whirlpools on a flowing current but I'd honestly have to look that all up again. It was never clearly explained to me.

[HSSTFTF !eXE9UPV972 No.4299704]

>>4299472
>serious question, hopefully it is 'legal' for you to tell us
Let's put it this way;

In the future, we have no way of knowing who makes these discoveries in advance, and thus we don't know who to search for when we want answers to these questions.

The fact that we don't know in advance means:
1) People who were predicted to succeed failed
2) People who divulged the information "ceased to be".

While I DO know the names of these people (or most of them), I refuse to say their names. It's not that anything forbids me from doing it; it's just that the fact that it hasn't happened is a major red flag to me.

On an even stranger note, a lot of these discoveries or advancements are made by "the internet". In the weirder cases, the scientific consensus of academia suddenly found that large groups of people were aware of phenomena in advance, predicting things before mathematics even proved them.

Basically, it's not that I can't tell you. It's just that I'd much rather not. All I know is that telling people about scientific principles in advance doesn't seem to cause any issue, as I'm still doing so and it's not the first time something "interesting" came from the internet.

I don't believe that intuition is a reason to believe that something is true. But I have no plans of skydiving without a parachute, smoking crack, or divulging important names/events on the internet.

(It also helps that "history of psychology" isn't my strong point. Freud's the only pioneer that I remember learning about, but that was back in high-school.)

[HSSTFTF !eXE9UPV972 No.4299849]
