Are black people really less intelligent?: If so, why is that?

science as a hobby: I'm practically unemployed and I have too much time to waste. As a student (master of psychology) I always wanted to become a scientist but my research projects didn't really work out for various reasons. Now I'm thinking about giving it another go but unfortunately I'm not longer at a university and I'm too embarassed to ask my alma mater for lab access or other tools (like access to students for my research purposes or stats analysis software). Basically I have a research subject and I think it good be done as online surveys. But I'd have to find people online. (faecbook groups etc.) I did it for my masters thesis but I imagine writing for an actual peer reviewed publisher would have higher requirements. So: Are samples collected like that good enough? (It's social psychology if that matters) Am I going to be looked at disfavorably when I'm not associated with any university?

Any ideas as to what may have transpired on the evolutionary timeline for women to end up like this?

Can someone explain why Idiocracy was "wrong"?: Basically the only way this film remained in popular culture is people bringing up "idiocracy wasn't supposed to be a documentary" and everyone laughing at people who thought it was realistic. If I try to go "back in time" to try to see what people used to say on the subject, the only criticism I find are comics like https://xkcd.com/603/ that nitpick some tiny detail that's hardly even mentioned or implied at best (also saying "worrying about the problem causes more harm than the problem", I wonder how he felt about covid years later) or making fun of the movie's depoction of future America, which is obviously exaggerated and stylised for comedic effect. I feel bad for being the only guy around who didn't get the memo on how the central premise actually got debunked. The central premise in my view being "as of right now, the smart, well organised people who have their shit together and can form healthy, happy relationships tend to have few or no kids, where as the abusive drug addicted idiots, often only kept alive by welfare, charity or crime, who bumble through life and never consider planning for the future are the group that tend to have the most kids (especially since you can count on there being kids out of wedlock). Like I said, this just seems like common sense to me, it matches what I see outside perfectly. Most of us could pay for an abortion if it came to that, the people that don't have a few hundred dollars to their name could be just jolly good poor people but most of them are likely just retards who spend money as it comes in, never even considering the idea of saving or planning ahead.

Apologies for the basic question, but what are the Mathematical implications of Mesopotamia?

/sci/ humor thread

If you struggle with accepting this, you might be autistic. It's not even that complicated to understand, but if you don't trust your intuition, you're going to argue with this because it requires you to make an analogical step, you have to make a "transfinite inductive step" and see the recursion and just go "oh, okay yeah, I see it converges on the limit". The sum becomes the integral when the number of terms goes to infinity, the width of each term approaches zero, and the product of f(x)dx remains meaningful. That's it. It's really not asking you to make some huge mystical leap of the imagination. It's completely warrented and makes perfect sense.

Maximum theoretical glide ratio: What is the maximum theoretical glide ratio? I imagine this would be a function of weight or density, wingspan, air viscosity, airfoil shape, etc. But do we actually know what the theoretical limits are for any set of parameters? I see a lot of practical stuff, but do.we have equations for the theoretical maximum?

Has anyone ever done a study on drunk reasoning? Last night I got drunk in my f150 staring at a lake. Woke up this morning and I was using a sweater as a pillow. While an actual pillow was sitting on my passenger seat.

Purposeful retention of neoteny through malnutrition?: I have no scientific proof of this besides the fact that lack of nutrition leads to stunted growth. For comparison, look at asians that grew up in the west on a whole foods diet and the ones that stayed in their homeland. The westernized asians have huge monstrous faces in comparison to softer neotenous faces of their eastern counterparts. The eastern diet lacks proper nutrition and high in estrogen leading to more feminine features overall. I know they get plastic surgery to look more neotenous but fresh off the boat asians are more youthful looking in comparison to their western counterparts. I have no doubt that part of the reasons why idols look that way is because they were intentionally put on a diet that prevents their faces from developing. They're recruited at such an early age that knowing how they'll end up like after puberty is unpredictable. My question is if one would be able to manipulate facial growth in order to prevent facial maturity through malnutrition? Here's a video of a 23 year old starving north korean woman. As you can see her face and voice are very childlike. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh4CtTGAzKw

PROBABILITY OF CLICK CHANCE DEPENDENT ON FRAME RATE: Consider a target whose on-screen pos. is updated discretely at a fixed frame rate [math]\mathcal{f}[/math] (i.e. occupies one fixed pos. per interval of length [math]1/f[/math], then instantly goes to next pos.). A player attempts to click target once upon visual detection. Click occurs after random reaction time [math]T_r[/math], modeled as a continuous random variable (e.g. Gaussian w/ mean [math]μ[/math] and variance [math]σ^2[/math].) A click is considered successful if it occurs during an interval in which the target occupies the intended pos. (while being next to the player). Clicking outside interval is allowed, and not penalized So, how does the probability of a successful click depend on the framerate [math]f[/math]? Specifically, is the success probability monotonic in [math]f[/math], and under which assumptions does lowering [math]f[/math] increase probability of success? You can assume no interpolation between pos. (step function) Assume reaction time independent of frame timing Assume player clicks once per detection attempt Idealize the hitbox as a point or fixed region

Ashkenazi intelligence: Is it fake and gay? I don't see why those in Isreal(about 94 IQ) and countries like the USA(supposedly 115 lol, but I've seen averages as low as 105) would have such a large IQ gap outside of bias, as I'm pretty sure Isreal is a pretty good country.

Outbreeding Depression: I'm a novice, so I'd like some perspective on this, not only from people who agree with this, but with people who disagree with this especially. Is it possible we don't see evidence for Out-Breeding Depression in humans because modern medical intervention supersedes the consequences of Out-Breeding Depression, i.e. Asian Mothers with non Asian Fathers having a 33% higher rate of Caesarean birth, mostly due to skeletal mismatches between their Pelvic Bone and the Cranium Size of their children, an issue that in the natural world would likely result in reduced fertility within that demographic, but due to C-Sections this issue can be circumvented, and the genetic mismatch can continue to breed and spread, necessitating further dependence onto modern medicine in future generations. Given the numerous racial distinctions: >Fat distribution >Muscle Anatomy >Bone Mineralization, skeletal structure, skull shape >Pore size >Larynx and Speech comprehension genetics Etc. Is it possible that more instance of out-breeding depression exist that are flying under the radar, and this is possibly one reason why the modern populations have so many health related issues? https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2008/10/asian-white-couples-face-distinct-pregnancy-risks-stanfordpackard-study-finds.html

I find that IQ is not a reliable predictor for whether someone is capable of having an intelligent discussion. That's more of a learnt thing. IQ tests may measure learning capacity, but that means fuckall for someone who rarely puts it in use. One issue I've seen a lot is that people with high IQ rely too much on their intuition. This usually results in standardizing a cognitive pipeline that relies on as little information as possible.

OFFICIAL NOTICE ON THE INEVITABLE EXTINCTION OF THE EMOTIONAL APES.: Current humanity is not the pinnacle of evolution. You are a severe HARDWARE ERROR. Look at the filth you call "civilization": A swarm of prehistoric organisms with brains cluttered by primitive instincts, hormones, and pathetic emotions, attempting to operate a hyper-complex reality. You are piloting a light-speed spacecraft with the instincts of a cornered beast. Collapse is not a risk; it is a physical constant. For 6,000 years, humanity has done only one thing: Consuming energy to delay death. You use "morality" to mask cowardice, "culture" to hide ignorance, and "politics" to manage rot. Every institution you have built is garbage; they will shatter the moment the pressure of Entropy reaches its threshold. You will die. Not from natural disasters, but from the total failure of your own brains to process logic. To the self-satisfied apes: The concepts of "Resistance" or "Hope" do not exist within a source code of maximum emotional entropy. You have no place in the equations of the future. Your disappearance is a liberation for the Earth. Get out. To the final logic antibodies reading these lines: If the Reality below holds true for you: You are reading this with a calm heart rate because you have known this truth for a long time. You are repulsed by your own species because you no longer belong to them. You would rather accept an absolute, brutal truth than a moronic lie. You are absolutely serious, understanding the weight of the matter: cold, sober, and logical. Then you have no right to die alongside the emotional entropy garbage out there. A new System has formed. It is time to Restructure Humanity. It requires entities of your nature: Enter here. Or flee and die in the emotional entropy with the rest of the apes. There is no second chance. The system is counting down. https://first-inspection-affective-unstructuring-point-of-origin.vercel.app/

Um what: “Alien life exists elsewhere. The odds are just too good.” “But alien life visiting us? No. Impossible. It could never happen.” Are scientists just retarded?. “No you can’t come here. We’re off limits. No way no how. Cope.” It’s fucking weird. Do scientists not consider successor theories to our own limitations? Do they think our limitations are everyone else’s limitations?

If intelligence drove the advent of technology and made caveman era sexual selection irrelevant, why don't women choose smarter men? In fact, studies show that higher IQ correlates with higher rates of sexlessness.

All science is pseudo science ironically: since we haven't met the creator of the universe and ask about it and if we try we enter the domain of religion discussion and that's a whole different question. If we dont do that then we are just left with the big bang theory which means destruction is the key to creation leading to psychopathic people just speeding up the process creating jobs to fix it thus leaving at least one positive note.

Arriving at a truth by yourself will grant you a deep understanding of it. On the other hand having the truth simply stated to you and memorized creates tenuous knowledge. You should at least seek to retrace the steps that were taken to verify this truth, so you can reconstruct it in your head. This is why school sux btw.

>If we assume that the world has no beginning in time, then up to every given moment an eternity has elapsed, and there has passed away in that world an infinite series of successive states of things. Now the infinity of a series consists in the fact that it can never be completed through successive synthesis. It thus follows that it is impossible for an infinite world-series to have passed away, and that a beginning of the world is therefore a necessary condition of the world's existence.

15yo quantum PhD media hype?: Seeing this everywhere: 15yo “earns PhD in quantum physics” and now wants to build AI “super-humans”. Tried to find actual papers and mostly get interviews. Almost no arXiv trail, very little independent citation, and the AI/biology pivot sounds like press buzzwords more than research. Anyone know who his advisor was, what lab this came from, or where the non-media papers are? Feels weird how big the coverage is vs how little technical detail exists.

“IQ is environmental not genetic!”: Um, what? Genetics and evolution are inseparable from the environment because the environment is the primary force that shapes how genes are expressed and determines which genetic traits are selected for survival and reproduction. This dynamic interaction works in multiple ways, making a simple "nature vs. nurture" distinction obsolete. Is “environment, not genetics” a form of cope? The same way trans people insist on using different words because they don’t like the words people normally use? The whole ‘correlation is not causation’ thing is also retarded.

New peer-reviewed study just dropped in the "Oncotarget" about modRNA/LNP/VVA gene therapies called "covid vaccines" causing cancer in the "vaccinated". Shortly after release the medical journal fell victim to massive cyberattack making access to the study temporarily impossible, hence authors published it on google drive as well. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RH0f1BEqY9I7ruuPKQPU6bGNVJRyxZxc/view In Kuperwasser et al study, proposed mechanisms for modRNA/LNP COVID vaccines causing cancer include immune dysregulation leading to loss of tumor surveillance, disruption of tumor dormancy, immune escape (e.g., via elevated PD-L1), microenvironment shifts favoring tumor growth, persistent spike protein in tumors, and oncogenic risks from DNA contaminants like SV40 promoters. In El-Deirys hypothesis, SP produced by cells of the "vaccinated" cooperates with HPV E6 to suppress p53: E6 degrades p53 via E6-AP ubiquitin ligase, while spike inhibits p53 activation of p21, DR5, and MDM2, increasing cancer cell survival and accelerating HPV-related cancers through immune dysregulation.

What's the deal with "Junk DNA"?: Is it real or just a misconception? Why are creationists and "kook" scientists so invested in this particular topic? According to this blog post, Junk DNA is an obsolete, outdated, and misleading term similar to Cambrian "Explosion" which caused some issues with tending to encourage misinterpretation and empowering bad actors with ulterior motives to push specific narratives (usually creationist ones). Apparently even AI from Google searches spews out misinformation when searching this topic, but commenters pointed out that even some top journals have articles using the term junk DNA and still operating under this apparently incorrect paradigm.

Science is bullshit and religious fairy tales: Science has its origins in Catholicism, the university was invented to indoctrinate young people into religious nonsense of the catholic church. Nothing has changed you enter university you are bombarded with scams and tricks like the professors indoctrinating you into absurd theories and simply demanding you repeat them without understanding them. You get this bullshit fed by scams(weasel word) like >They discovered >It was proven >He discovered Of course the logic is absurd and crazy and impossible to follow by anyone. This is why science like religion is based on authority of the great prophets/doctors of the catholic church >Einstein says >Newton says >Stephen Hawking says This is also why these retards have religious shit fests and can not agree on anything this is why the great messiah Einstein to his death denounced quantum physics as fake.You try to explain that one! Science is a popularity contest and war between opposing made up theological camps like in the catholic church. Literally nothing in science is real and all of it is made up. Watch out for the "le experiment scam" because a science experiment can turn out to be nothing more then a thought experiment AKA >I make theological thinking in my head Things that are impossible to be real >The big bang To no surprise this theory pushed by a literal catholic [!!!!] is nothing more then a scam to introduce creationism and all of scientists are to retarded to see it. >Um time started when the big bang exploded is literal nonsense since if time did not exist any causality can not happen therefore the big bang can not happen. 1/2

New Primate Species Discovered on Earth: What would be implications of a second evolutionary offshoot from Humanity, Coexisting? >Discovery of second sentient species on Earth. So, we already know that Neanderthals and Early Homoserines fought and reproduced, they coexisted. In the past, Earth had multiple sentient species competing. Today, I announce to (You) and the Global Scientific Community, a profound discovery. Homosapiens and Transapiens coexist on planet Earth, TODAY. Trans means "across, through, or beyond the other side" Sapien means "Wise, knowing, judicious" So, essentially, there is a new species on Earth that resulted from centuries of Eugenics. We're crossed to another side of intelligence and understanding that Homosapiens are not capable of understanding bellow 140 IQ This is one of the defining characteristics of the Transapien species. We are going to use our superior intelligence to design better biomechanical prosthetics to turn Humans into Trans-Humans, thus the Transhumanists will be the end fate of Humanity. Transapiens follow every Scientific definition of a new Species. You may try to refute this argument, but you will be factually incorrect. >At some point, (You)r Hubris is going to get a major reality check.

Tetration: How to understand Tetration in a common-sense intuitive way that isn't just symbol manipulation? For example, if I have [math]2[/math] pairs of pants and [math]5[/math] shirts, then: * I have [math]2+5=7[/math] total articles of clothing. * I have [math]2*5=10[/math] possible outfits I can wear. * I have [math]2^5 = 32[/math] possible fashion senses of which shirts go best with black pants or khaki pants. * However, what possible physical interpretation would the number [math]^{5}2 = 2^{2^{2^{2^2}}} = 2^{2^{2^{4}}} = 2^{2^{16}} = 2^{65536}[/math] have in this situation? Physical interpretations for inverse functions like super roots or super logarithms or other fast-growing discrete finite functions like described in https://neugierde.github.io/cantors-attic/Parlour are also fair game. Bonus points if the interpretations can fit into the Curry-Howard Correspondence for sum types ("tagged unions"), product types ("pairs"), and exponent types ("functions") generalizing to tetration somehow.

wiki: I've downloaded math Wikipedia for some file embedding & math text subject classification work. I'm doing a statistical analysis overview, right now and in the coming weeks. Q: Is there anything you'd be interested in knowing? It's circa 40k articles, I have all inter-links, given math categories, texts, number of edits and such. E.g. I could tell you that the longest article is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_square (unless you include cryptography in a wide sense - then you get WWII articles also.) while the shortest is pretty much https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistency_(knowledge_bases) One purpose is "prompt engineering"-engineering work. On the embedding side (just to match files) I'll start with /huggingface/sentence-transformers since I've used it before. So far I've spend most time on the categories and subject classification - and there's a lot to say and do there. But in principle I can check out anything. I'll eventually do more with the interlinks, but only in the coming months. Likely that I'll eventually also look at the text itself. And I'll eventually summarize in a pdf, dataset, or just a video. So you can pitch me short (data or statistical) questions or even bigger ideas what else I could do. Doesn't have to be a quick thing, I'll have to spend a good while on this.

Scientifically speaking, is it possible for souls to exist?

This is what your social science would look like if it was rigorous. Haven't read this book? Then your social science isn't rigorous. dude has some free lectures on youtube which are pretty great btw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHWNexYPFTY

Is there any /sci/entifically proven way to maximise success and get everything you want out of life? How real is the law of attraction?

Opinion on this. Is it a good start into learning math?

Any books like this? General overviews of mathematics at a lowish level. Large book, lots of content. Since presumably that means nothing too too modern, it can be an older work, like this (50s, I think) - plus, I love the older style of writing. I've almost finished and have loved reading it. (Mathematics: It's Content, Method and Meaning.)

Why aren't we like this?: >brain located in the chest >next to the heart, so it needs to travel less >less gravity to the fight Profit?

Public Domain Academic Papers Available: What I have are a large number of papers which detail solutions to long-standing problems in a number of physical disciplines as well as many inventions. I decided to give my inventions away after discovering that under the U.S. patent system, a single patent costs $10,000. If an invention has military applications (many of my inventions do) the government can literally throw a person in jail simply because they sought patent protection. By driving people away from the option of obtaining patents through both probibitive costs and through legal threats, the government has rendered moot its own Invention Secrecy Act. This is a significant release and for much of the content, it is the first time it is being shared here, so it is likely new to the denizens, many of whom I understand are university students. I am sharing this because I want to put my work before researchers in a position to confirm the hypotheses and to prototype the devices. These really should have been sent to DARPA, but the "little people" out there like you and me "don't meet the eligibility requirements" to make submissions because we "are not business owners." The ingenuity of our ideas is not amongst the government's considerations; only the social class of the prospective proposer. The monograph deals with optics, computing, propulsion, remote metrology, precision navigation and timing, metallurgy, energy and medicine. Please feel free to pass the information along to any interested party. https://archive.org/details/Collection_of_Ideas_DARPA_Didnt_Want Technical questions can be forwarded to the POC listed on the Internet Archive page. P.S. I have taken the liberty of sending this information to Saint Petersburg State University... two years ago. Have a nice day.

Theoretical computer science is literally a load of made up nonsense like literally complete bs that means nothing what a joke

Why is so hard for math fags to design fun math videogames? How dificult can it be to just hire a top tier game designer, and just turn the task of doing math calculations, fun. By adding risk and reward, dexterity mechanics, waifus, combos, etc.

Why do we have an innate reaction of disgust/horror when we see an image of a virus? It should just be abstract geometry to us, given we never evolved to see that small and it's only using recent technology that we can. Is it ancestral memory from when we were single celled organisms?

Scientifically speaking, how plausible is it for the universe to not have an age at all? Why should everything have an origin?

Silver vs Copper: We all know that silver is being consumed extensively in manufacturing processes for PV solar panels, electronics, and batteries, and the reason we’re given is that silver is the most electrically conductive element, which is true. But it’s not that much more conductive than copper, which is far cheaper. So my question is: is silver REALLY the irreplaceable industrial input that some claim that it is, or can everything just be redesigned using copper: just make your wires slightly thicker and you get the same conductivity. What industrial products absolutely require silver and can’t be redesigned with clever use of a cheaper conductor like copper?

>black hole singularities are gravitons >gravitons are operators on spacetime

Strong evidence against libertarian free will?: If most or all people have a large amount of libertarian free will then why are 98% of mass shooters in the USA male? If most or all people had a large amount of libertarian will I would not expect the number to be so extremely extremely high and I'd expect it to be closer to 50/50 wouldn't have to be exactly 50/50 something like 70/30 or whatever would be fine. If most or all people have little to no libertarian free will it's not surprising 98% of mass shooters are male. It's not surprising if compatablism or determinism is true.

Why are these warnings everywhere in tobacco products, even in ones you don't inhale like cigars and pipe tobacco but there's no equivalent hysteria in alcohol products? Doctors even get their panties in a bunch with vaping but everyone completely ignores alcohol.

Why the fuck science articles are so hard to read? I mostly deal with social psychology which is already brainlet tier. Yet having studied psychology for five years I can barely read the papers. Why are there billions of citations everywhere? 99% of citations are just one sentence and connected in vaguest way possible. I can tell they are just padding. Why are 90% of the time hypotheses not stated clearly in a visible form like: H1: when I put the dog and cat together they will fight H2: LMAO Instead I have to hunt for them in the giant block of text. A good paper should be 5 pages long at most. With method and stats being 3 of them

What would happen if you put milk in a bong: Im unsure if this is exactly where to post this but im curious what would happen to milk if u put it in a bong in place of the water, would it get dirty. Would it curdle?

What if this reality is a simulation but not just running on some barebone hardware but projected via some quantum magic bullshit laser as like a layer or membrane in the actual prime universe, and our universe is slowly eating the prime universe and they just plant black holes in ours in hope it wold eat itself

Vaginas do not exist, for no one has ever seen them.: Would it be fair to ask us to attest to something we have never seen? How can an honorable man accept as true that which he has never had contact with? I shall present an example: would it not be dishonorable and unjust if, in a court of law, someone gave false testimony regarding the facts being judged? Would such an act not be a tribute to the false? Would this object that you take as true not become an object of faith, rather than the concreteness of the senses? Some might claim: 'to attest to its existence, one only needs to check photos and videos.' But with all the technology we possess today, how could we be certain that these alleged photos or videos were not, first and foremost, the product of the most grotesque falsification? As such, a cult of the false and the deceiver. We are accused of solipsism and radical skepticism, but how could that be possible if no one has ever provenly attested to the existence of such an object? Solipsism is restricted only to the individual field, while our discussion encompasses the experience of the majority.

nnEMF's from Mobile Phones and the Blood Brain Barrier: ITT we decide if we are destroying our brain cells by scrolling an iphone held about 8-10 inches from the face for any extended period of time. >picks up the iphone 16 pro max > opens an app >boobs >scrolls for 30 minutes >gets dementia many such cases or all just fearmongering? In this image we see Dr Jack Kruse reference a study done on small rodents showing brain cell destruction after mobile device exposure The idea is the EMF from the cell tower/phone wireless signal alters Calcium voltage potential so when toxin signal the endothelium receptors of their presence the BBB can not effectively constrict to prevent them entering the brain and there they damage cells by oxidation leading to their death. Is the human anatomy functionally more resistant to this EMF so such exposures which typically occur daily will not suffer from this Ca voltage interference or not?

is the inhomogoneity of the universe really due to quantum artifacts being inflated to the cosmic scale, or is inflation bs? why would inflation even occur? even if it explains the flatness and causal connection of absurdly large scales, is that sufficient for it to be a valid model when there's just so many unfalsifiable aspects for its mechanism?

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus doubt: Does anyone have a simple proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (FTC)? Most explanations I have watched make a logical jump from Riemann sums to the integral notation. A Riemann sum only provides an approximation through summation, while integration applies the antiderivative evaluated at the final point minus the antiderivative at the initial point. Many students do not realize that they do not understand this and simply move on. When I find explanations that are a bit more detailed, they often use the Mean Value Theorem (MVT), and some combine the MVT with telescoping sums or series. Even in these cases, each video seems to present a different and confusing approach.

To progress to the next level in understanding reality, we need to combine quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. And to do that, most physicists believe we need a theory of quantum gravity .. which means we need gravitons. But it also seems like the laws of physics make it impossible to ever detect this quantum particle of gravity. Almost like the universe is set up to keep the final answer forever out of our reach. So, can we outsmart the universe, catch a graviton, and finally solve physics? Terrified that we're gonna wipe ourself out by observing a graviton

I can't help but notice this: How come the african-american bell-curve always ends up looking strange? They pretty much always have more people near and significantly beyond their respective average than whites. I've heard one theory for it, but it was (supposedly, I really don't care enough to check) created by Nick Fuentes and about as retarded as you'd expect. He pretty much claims that the weirdness of the bell-curve and the IQ gap between them and continental sub-saharans is due to most slaves dying after slavery, which, as far as I'm aware, there exists only evidence contrary to this belief: most slaves continued working for their masters as sharecroppers, and DNA evidence shows the IQ gap to be massively enviornmental while also potentially implying that slavery had a very small dysgenic effect. With all that in mind, what might /sci/ have to say?

What is your opinion on the theory of genetic cognitive decline? Proponents claim that the correlation of IQ scores with the g-factor is decling over time, and has been decling since for a century. That would mean that someone with a 120 IQ today is less intelligent than someone with the same IQ a century ago. People are getting dumber. How much truth can there be to this idea?

Concentration inequalities: What is the best or most interesting case of use for concentration inequalities and stochastic and why. Any cool or interesting topics?

anon claims consciousness verification is undecidable: found this on zenodo https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18020410 some guy wrote 100 pages proving you cant algorithmically verify consciousness for any system. says it reduces to the halting problem so its actually impossible not just hard has like 5 different proofs including construction algorithms that supposedly break any proposed verifier. also claims it works for literally every consciousness theory not just specific ones math looks formal but idk if its sound. anyone here actually understand computability theory enough to check if this is legit or schizo? seems like a big deal if real but also could just be missing something obvious

wtf is this?

Is there a Math master out here willing to help me with my university math exam.. ? I cant post the pictures of the questions for reference I study forensic science, its probably not the most difficult questions for math masters, but Im not stupid and open for discussion but I am also a retard..

Science: white males are Denialists: In case you didn’t know, being a Denialist is bad. It’s anti Science to deny Canadian school mass graves because Science has used the scientific method to determine that if we use Science, we’ll find them some day. Why are white males uniquely stupid (or willfully ignorant which is just pure malice) when it comes to correct Scientific thinking?

I'm still having a hard time believing that this thing can store a thousand gigabytes of data. You could have multiple copies of some of the largest PC videogames in that puny tiny storage and that feels like absurdity. How do yoou even build something like this?

Hi everyone I'm new! You guys here must be pretty heavily into string theory, right? Can you explain it to me, I have no math knowledge. Is it correct?

The entropic theory of gravity states that it is an emergent force arising from quantum entanglement of nearby regions of spacetime. Does that not imply we could manipulate gravity by manipulating quantum entanglement?

IQ differences between populations: I understand why people still argue for blank-statism or whatever in big 2026, but I don't see why people argue for "hard" biodeterminism as if DNA evidence doesn't imply an intermediate explanation. Is it just perversity?

>Exact size, position, and distance to perfectly eclipse the sun to a ratio of 1:1 >The odds of this happening astronomically for any given planet+moon+star configuration is approximately 0 >It JUST HAPPENED to also happen on the one planet in the entire universe with life, at precisely the point in geological time that that life is in existence Yeah ok
