Yes. But only because it bounces around first, and therefore it takes longer to reach your eye, and it doesnt actually move slower.

What do prime numbers mean?

>>14407811 ask yourself this. can you think of a system of numbers where prime numbers exist? like in some sort of computer simulation?

Quoted By:
>>14407811 Why do you expect natural numbers to mean anything at all? In some sense they represent the discrete quantities in which individual actions or objects occur. Are you hoping for something more than that?

Quoted By:
>>14407811 A prime number is a number that is divisible only by itself and 1. For example the first 10 primes are: 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29. (1 is a unit and units do not count as primes).

Prime numbers are a deception used by the space elves to control the human breeding hive for their sex purposes. The end goal is to breed one male human per male or female elf. Female humans are negligible, used often as a mere space delicacy akin to snails.

linear algebra. that is the language everything else will be phrased in, including other useful math like calculus and signal processing. linear algebra is the most useful math i know, and i know a lot of math.

I don't believe the classes on computer graphics or computational photography cover this kinda math, idk.

One of the scientific wings of the German government, the health ministry, is trying to prevent Elon from acquiring Twitter "In the name of science".
Is there any real scientific evidence that Elon buying Twitter would harm science? As far as we've all seen so far, Elon seem to be in favor of science, he isn't building all the EVs and rockets by employing wizards and priests.

Lauterbach is cringe af. He ordered 650 million doses of vaccines for 80 million people. After the law for vaxx mandates was rejected in parliament he made another contract for vaxx deliveries of millions of doses until 2029. Yesterday he said in autum we will have a "killer variant" of covid. Even all the other German virologists are calling him out now for his bullshit and call him deluded.

this is not my sentiment, its einstein's.
scientists are just paid liars

So, evidence so far looks like we live in at least one false vacuum at least when it comes to the Higgs field. Assuming you have the tech to detect a vacuum decay event in a single point, how would you reinforce the walls of the bubble to contain it and stop it from expanding and even reverse it?

The electroweak vaccum of the Standard Model indeed has a finite (albeit very long) lifetime. Whether or not this actually applies to our universe is moot. No one believes the SM holds up to the required energy scale for this prediction to be accurate.>how would you reinforce the walls of the bubble to contain it and stop it from expanding and even reverse it? This is nonsense

stopping vacuum decay is impossible since it propagates at the speed of light

There's a surface tension on the bubble. If it is too small, the vacuum decay bubble collapses on its own and goes back to normal.

What are some good reasons one would choose to do an M.S. instead of a PhD in Mathematics following a Bachelor's degree? I only want to teach community college and looks like that's all I need.

You don't do either, you just enter real estate. No matter how low IQ you are, boomers have basically mandated that real estate line can only go up. Then once you have millions, you donate to some shit school and get an honorary masters or PHD there.

But I'm in a field where people's training varies from self-taught hobbyists to postdocs. I don't know how much of that holds true for mathematics.

We know every human action, morals, ideology and philosophy (psychology, conscious and unconscious thought, and social science etc) are governed by evolution at least to some extent (at least most likely). This means that from the ground up our societies and relationships are governed by it to, so embedded into our being people can formulaically manipulate it consistently. This is a bit strange because this means the basis for how we ultimately act and think is an ever changing thing. Doesn’t this mean in 100000000 some years when we finally properly evolved again that literally everything we do will be so far removed from how we are right now it’ll be unrecognizable as human? We wouldn’t even really be able to begin to understand it using us as a basis. Of course thinking about what I’ve just said I don’t think any of this thinking is really new (picrel is clear proof) but still

I agree with you that the people of the future will not be recognizable as human; humanity is undergoing a domestication process that guts it of both human spirit and human reason; the future human will be a barely-conscious lump of clay in the hands of social engineers.
