What is it like to die?

No.14197070 ViewReplyOriginalReport
I don't understand. How is it possible to just stop existing?
What are the last experiences of a dying brain like? It just ends?
How is it possible? Nothingness? It's as if nothing ever existed at all. How can anything ever have existed without an observer? How can it just end?

Have a lie algebra over the reals field of explicit hermitian operators.
Have the commutator be a map from the algebra to the same algebra.
Commutator multiplies all vectors by a complex factor, rendering the algebra elements not hermitian anymore.
Ok fine change the field to the complex now it will make sense. Ops, your operators are not hermitian anymore.

"Generation" Ships

No.14184274 ViewReplyLast 50OriginalReport
So scifi writers love this idea but does the idea of a "generation / colony ship" make any actual sense? Considering that the average civilization lasts, what, 300+ years? It seems like the people would go batshit and ram the thing into an asteroid before they made any real headway.
Would it make more sense to just freeze a bunch of embryos and chuck them into deep space?
