Shout out to Richard Branson, the dude was talking about going to space since I was in highschool and the man did it, no bullshit "change the world, terraform mars" crap, no memes and publicity, just a guy who wanted to go to space for fun and he succeeded. Fuck Elon and Bezos.

If you share 50% of your DNA with your siblings, does that mean you can test positive as their father in a paternity test? Or is there more to it?
Anonymous
>>13388502 The question is about siblings testing positive, not uncles testing positive. An uncle is only about 25% related, while both siblings and parents are about 50% related.

What the fuck is the cause behind my taste and smell loss?
I think I am over the worst of the covid symptoms now, but my taste and smell is GONE completely. It is freaking me out because I have a friend who was infected way back in January and he still cannot taste and smell either.
Is there anyone here to recovered their taste and smell after being infected? I fucking hate this, its awful. I miss the simple pleasures like delicious food, nice perfume, smelling my farts. If I walk into a stinky toilet I would have no idea.

>>13389234 holy shit how do you brain, i remember jackshit, i lost my taste, smell for a week, then it came back. the experience was entirely alien, but my brain cannot remember to this detail.

>>13389420 I've been tracking coronavirus closely since mid-January 2020 and so when I got the virus I was paying very close attention to it. Also, losing my sense of taste was terrifying, as food is one of my greatest pleasures - if it were permanent I might have kms'd myself. Eating was pretty disgusting during that time, very off-putting.
This was only a few months ago, so it was pretty recent.

>>13389453 OP here, for me the loss was immediate and without warning.
I remember feeling an intense pain quite far up my nose, and if I inhaled by my nose it really hurt. Also, at the same time my tongue and the top of my mouth suddently felt very dry and rough, like it was being sandpapered. I thought almost straight away 'oh god my taste and smell is going' and popped a pizza in the oven for lunch.. I gave it a sniff and there was no smell. Ate it, no taste. It was scary as hell ad utterly bizarre. I really do hope it comes back because I really like food as well and everything feels like tasteless sludge, like I am just chewing on unseasoned boiled potatoes. It is really offputting.

Is there a difference between:
1.Non existence pre big bang pre birth
2.Non existence post big bang pre birth
3.Non existence post birth
4.Non existence post birth post death of universe ( if it ever comes)
To me the non existence of #3 is the only one that really is non existence since others seem to be
non( non existence) but a non non-thing is a thing in logic.

>>13389108 ok, thanks. All four are the same thing then. There's nothing special about our existence and it is not connected to anything before/after. There's actually no before or after, more likely everything happened at the same time forever in a timeless spaceless space. It's not like I know, it's more like the opposite would make less sense. A beginning would imply something before that started it, so it's always been. Infinite space because a "wall" (no matter how complex your structure is) would always have a beyond. Timeless, because time would imply a before. I get your second post, but as I said, there's no connection to your existence in the "void" you're referring to, because you leave no trace there, in some sense you me and the big bang come from the same place for the same reason. It's not void-you-void as you put it, but a void containing everything at the same time, that implies you had to exist at least once. And that is true even in the case we're part of a simulation of some sort, because our creator would have our same problem about his own origin.

I assume it will never be possible to reconstruct a human brain from current MRI images.
The resolution looks like dog ass. If we can make MRI's have a high enough resolution, I assume it will then become possible to reproduce a copy of that brain, eventually.
What is the resolution wall* on MRI's? How far away are we?
*The point at which an MRI will have a detailed enough resolution for the images produced, that an exact replica brain can be created from the imagery.
Is this even feasibly possible, without damaging the tissue?

The age difference between him and the left side of the picture is 15 years. That's the lab leader on the far left.
Considering people say he looks 20 years younger that's a pretty good comparison.
