Is it better when the happiness is distributed equally on a time scale or when it has certain peaks and valleys? I can't stop thinking about this.

Big Bang is false?

We know that light red shifts through density such as water.

We know the Universe is filled with a minute density called "quantum foam".

We know distant light is red shifted.

So, Anon. Why is there not a single scientist who has asked, "is quantum foam red shifting distant light rather than spacetime expansion?"

The data on Nanny Dogs is in

>Of the more than 8 different breeds identified, one-third were caused by pit bull terriers and resulted in the highest rate of consultation (94%) and had 5 times the relative rate of surgical intervention. Unlike all other breeds, pit bull terriers were relatively more likely to attack an unknown individual (+31%), and without provocation (+48%).

intelligence test question

if you answered the right way you passed, answering correctly means using no algebra

A motorboat goes from point A to point B on a river, against the current, and takes 4 hours. Going the opposite way, i.e. with the current, it takes only 3 hours.

How long would it take the boat to get from A to B if there were no current?

Finite size S-Matrix

No.14382494 ViewReplyOriginalReport
The S-Matrix calculates transition probabilities from 1 quantum state to another quantum state over an infinite time of interaction, with interactions taking place over an infinite space. This is claimed to make the math easy, but actually leads to infinity probabilities and the need for renormalization.
Is it possible to go the opposite way and just calculate a quantum state evolution after a really small amount of time, like a picosecond or some plank scale step, calculate the new state (which must be really close to the original state) and the calculate a new step over and over until some significant evolution is computed?
I imagine most of these subatomic interactions are likely over anyway after milliseconds.

proposition: Computer generated random variables are truly random

No.14380685 ViewReplyOriginalReport
premise 1:
Machines that count the number of electrons in a random space of air (imagine a type of Geiger counter) can give us truly random variables. Why? Because we don't fully 100% understand electrons/radiation and their movement
Premise 2: give a computer random number generator to someone who doesn't know how it looks. To them, it is the equivalent of the electron random number generator.
Conclusion: computer random number generators are either truly random, or randomness does not exist at all.

Nobel prize please?

Has anyone done serious studies on the changes in the brains of men in relation to woman?

*Straight man.
Woman basically control man with sex or the prospect of sex, while woman themselves are immune to it.
Am I crazy?
I think the majority of man acts in an altered state akin to that of drug users in relation to woman, specially if they are looking for prospects. I also think it's quite insane for men to sometimes humiliate themselves with the equivalent of the peacock show of feathers to attract of keep the mate.

Anyone has studies that navigate around these effects, or has any opinions on the topic?

How do i build a simple computable macroeconomic model of the world to fit it into a strategy game?
I've heard about many kinds of models economists use, general equilibrium models, DSGE models (stuff central banks use) etc. But i need something that doesn't take 2 weeks to run in a normal computer (must be realtime) and something that has some granularity, different sectors of the economy, different commodities, not just intermediate goods, capital goods etc. With a simple labor market simulation that takes into account different variables such as wage stickiness, simulation of international trade, monetary simulation (money markets), inflation, banking, commodity supply and demand (pricing), some simple endogenous growth model etc.
What book should i read in order to make a computable model like this?

How do you solve this without using variables?

Faucet A and faucet B can fill a tank in 7 hours.

Faucet A and faucet C can fill the same a tank in 8 hours.

Faucet B and faucet C can fill the same tank in 9 hours.

How long would it take to fill the same tank using faucet A, B and C?
