Therefore each prime (except 2 and 3) is next to a multiple of 6 and that too if that number leaves 1 or 5 as remainder on being divided by 6.

Will an entangled photon bouncing off a/penetrating through a mirror "de-tangle" it?

No.14301992 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Lets say I create a pair of entangled photons. I then shoot one of the photons through a semi-silvered(semi-reflecting) mirror. one(or both) of the photons are reflected, and (or) one (or both) of the photons penetrate/pass through the mirror. will either one of or both of the actions/interactions detangle the photons in question? (see image for details).

Intelligence: Processing power vs Efficiency

No.14298402 ViewReplyOriginalReport
I would like to discuss an idea I've had about the nature of intelligence.

This thread is not to discuss the validity of IQ as a measure of intelligence, or whether or not intelligence is a well defined in the first place.

For the sake of discussion, let us agree that IQ is indeed a meaningful and accurate measure, and we will allow ourselves the luxury of just assuming IQ = intelligence, otherwise we will be bogged down in the weeds.

Based on my intuition, I suspect that rather than being a result of differences in sheer processing power, disparity in (human) intelligence is more adequately described as a result of differences in internal, mental models and mappings between concepts and ideas.

When I say "processing power", I mean things such as working memory (being able to hold 9 numbers in working memory as opposed to 6), or ability to recall facts and information (someone who can memorize things faster or with greater detail), or speed (like the ability to do arithmetic in your head faster).

My thinking is that increased human intelligence (when comparing between two individuals) is more likely a result of one person having more efficient internal models which allow them to recognize and manipulate patterns with increased success.

Could it work?

I never had such lingering back pain from such a tiny movement. But what i am really curious, how does it come that a single irritated nerve can do this. Two days into this i started to fall asleep all 4 hours for about 4 or more hours. And no i don't go to the hospital cause it gets slowly better. I had much worse pains but i never got tired form it. Why is this?

Can someone explain why we haven't lifted all covid restrictions globally now that it's become more harmless than the flu? People in europe are still forced to wear masks everywhere and asia is bringing back lockdowns. None of this makes any sense from a scientific standpoint.
