My scientific conclusion is that the Russian economy is fucked. Double fucked, because most Russians have no idea what's coming.

What color is the center?
Are the 2 white tiles touching or are the 2 black tiles touching?
If none are touching, what color is the center?

is there any proof that our universe has more/less dimensions than 3 other than trust the science? this 11D is looking kinda crazy tbqh

Has anyone tried ozone therapy? Does it work? All the positive anecdotes seem rare.

Is getting a degree in Geology worth it?
t. Geology major

Theoretical evolutionary endgames for future civilizations aka
>what strategy for a futuristic civilization's evolution would put them in the best position to stay/become the most advanced civilization in the universe
my takes:
>bio-based: evolution is gained through rigorous genetic alteration or perhaps even massive artificial brain interfaces to calculate strategies/simulations/research. ultimately, the "computer" of the brain will be in charge of calculations
>machine-based: evolution is given to technology, keeping the "sanctity" of humanity in-tact. artificial intelligence is given free reign to calculate strategies/simulations/research while improving itself
>population-based: a huge population allows the civilization to dominate while its vast amount of minds work together to drive progress. similar to bio-based, but a more "expansionary" approach

I believe most civilizations will strive for being able to "process" things as quickly and accurately as possible. whether this be biological computation (brain-based) or technological computation (artificial intelligence), being able to out-simulate a battle down to the millisecond will be key to owning the galaxy.

Is nuclear winter a meme or is it real? How can they know for sure the effects of nuclear war on the climate?

>filtered by recursion
Should I just give up? How important is it to actually understand a recursive loop? Can't I just use normal ones?

Is it true? If not, and time does exist, is it linear or cyclical?

Recent analysis has uncovered a broad swath of rarely considered real numbers called real numbers in the neighborhood of infinity. Here we extend the catalog of the rudimentary analytical properties of all real numbers by defining a set of fractional distance functions on the real number line and studying their behavior. The main results are (1) to prove with modest axioms that some real numbers are greater than any natural number, (2) to develop a technique for taking a limit at infinity via the ordinary Cauchy definition reliant on the classical epsilon-delta formalism, and (3) to demonstrate an infinite number of non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function in the neighborhood of infinity. We define numbers in the neighborhood of infinity as Cartesian products of Cauchy equivalence classes of rationals. We axiomatize the arithmetic of such numbers, prove the operations are well-defined, and then make comparisons to the similar axioms of a complete ordered field. After developing the many underlying foundations, we present a basis for a topology.
