what the fuck does this have to do with arithmetic? It’s not even talking about numbers. Show me the axioms and laws of inference that allow such a statement to make sense in a formal system concerned with arithmetic. I call bullshit.

If we consider the sun as a conscious system, as well as a God because it has the power to create and it's able to survive independent of anything. What is the sun trying to tell us from increased solar activity as well as through it's electromagnetism?
🧵 Did civilization kill genetic mutations?
Anonymous at Sun, 13 Oct 2024 19:45:17 UTC No. 16429254
Everytime the topic of human mutation comes up its always sometime in prehistory and never within the last 5 thousand or so years. I can't help but wonder if the era of genetic mutations is over.
Let's say that Wang is born in China at 500 AD with a mutation that gives him shining blue eyes. They're beautiful and everyone loves it. Had he been born back in the Ice Age when populations were a lot smaller his gene could spread in a few generations. But because he lives in a land with tens of millions of people, it'll be hard for his genes to spread. It feels like humans stopped evolving new traits just due to our sheer population size.
🧵 is olive oil good for you?

i recently saw a youtube video about seed oils and the importance of DHA. i thought the seed oil seethe was schizo but apparently it's not, so i started taking omega 3 fish oil supplement.
now there was another video about counterfeit olive oil and how the legit extra virgin olive oil supposedly tastes really good and is healthy to consume. bryan johnson of project blueprint whose aim is to extend his lifespan supposedly has extra virgin olive oil with high polyphenol content as one of the most important things to take as a supplement. in my country there's a brand that has been tested by third party labs and third party taste tests and it seems really legit but is it really beneficial to ingest for the health benefits alone?
other things i take besides fish oil are a mutlivitamin with 150% RDA of most things, 10000 IU vitamin D3, 1000 mcg vitamin B12, 250 mg magnesium. i drink a lot of coffee every day which is actually healthy and lowers your mortality rate according to a youtube video.

🧵 Energy and Mass

I don't get it anymore.
I fill my car up with ten gallons of gas, which is like 50 pounds let's say.
I drive 200 miles and the gas tank is empty.
I assume some of all of the mass of the gas goes out the tail pipe.
The car also went far.
I thought mass couldn't be created or destroyed.
Does all 50 pounds go out the tail pipe?
If not, where did the energy go if it wasn't destroyed?

Ok so in Bipolar disorder you often switch between mania and depression. The question is, is it possible to permanently lock yourself in the manic state? How would this even be done?

🧵 Engineering Question
Anonymous at Sun, 13 Oct 2024 15:31:36 UTC No. 16428299
Hello, /sci/
I have an idea for an ultra specific mechanism but I'm lacking in engineering knowledge so I'm reluctant to try talking to an engineer.
It's essentially a giant pencil that can be used for outdoor drawing but with a mechanism that allows easy swapping out of the head/tip and it would be affixed to a telescoping aluminum shaft to allow for easy storage and maybe something on it's rear end for a second tool like an eraser.
Could anyone point me to where someone would begin in terms of trying to make a rough idea of this function with math and discover if it would even work outside of my head?
I only ever seen "How it's made" videos I don't know even what the first steps are for engineering something that doesn't exist.

So you can reproduce special relativity with sound waves and sound clocks. If you only rely on sound for measurements, you won't be able to detect with respect to the medium (air). As a consequence you discover Lorentz transformations and think you live in a Minkowsky space, even though that's not the case here.
In the same way, we can't measure the speed of the light medium with lightspeed signals, so we constructed a weird ass geometry and think it's reality. What if that's an illusion too?
I'm not an aether schizo but I think the idea is pretty neat. It's really just a different interpretation of special relativity that makes the same predictions but only requires a Newtonian universe. Maybe we should stop mystifying our explanations?
