Tell me, who was he actively menacing while standing alone at night in a parking lot? At which individual was he directing the display of his weapon?

You're not talking about the incoherent "Physics means determinism" nonsense right? Physics doesn't even have any meaningful way to substantiate material causal determinism, let alone in the far more physically nebulous notion of consciousness/decision.

We can't even get strict determinism (meaning arbitrarily small error in both process and measurement) to work in simple physical experiments. The "determinism" that is present in theoretical physics is a modeling convention for mathematical convenience, not a statement about reality.

chimps are chumps. Everyone thinks they're those unstoppable killing machines with super strength, but it's not true. Yeah they're stronger pound for pound, but we're bigger and a fit adult human male is stronger than them.

Alright, /sci/, let’s dive into some mind-bending speculation about the universe using a bucket analogy.

Imagine the universe’s spacetime as 100 points split between a "space bucket" and a "time bucket". At the Big Bang, all 100 points were in the time bucket. As the universe expanded, points started flowing into the space bucket, meaning we’re literally trading time for space!
Big Bang to Inflation:
>All points start in the time bucket.
>Rapid inflation shifts points into the space bucket, creating space.
Current Universe:
>Many points are now in the space bucket.
>Some points remain in the time bucket, allowing time to pass.
Accelerating Expansion:
>Dark energy accelerates the shift of points to the space bucket.
>Fewer points left for time.
Big Freeze:
>Almost all points in the space bucket, few in the time bucket.
>Universe reaches maximum entropy, and time effectively "runs out".
What if the accelerating expansion of the universe means time is running out? More space points mean fewer time points, leading to a Big Freeze.

Let’s hear your thoughts, /sci/. Is the universe trading time for space? Are we just points in an expanding bucket, heading towards a cold, dark end?

Discuss.

ARRAY EMITTERS utilize coded signal variations to allow MRI Quality imaging.

Think of a radiation imaging machine like an X-RAY box. The contrasts and filters are imaged on reactive film. The results are radiation resistant shadows.

Now imagine if you did the WHITE NOISE TEST wherein you emit white noise audio into a substance and consult a spectrogram of the received frequencies therein detecting resonance frequencies to emit and image (also using shadow images by absorption or emissive imagery by tuned resonance).

But what about CODED ARRAY EMISSIONS?
You have done the White Noise Test and found resonance frequencies, but what if you code for frequencies per pixel? If you emit coded frequency pulses that pass through with weak absorption, then in a room with pixel wall receiver arrays, you can detect reflection and reflection and absorption all at once. Think of something better than a MRI machine. Let's say the frequency is 2 Ghz, but your array of 256 emitter pixels has a time domain modulation per pixel following a Grey Coding. You emit 101010 as your "Zero Signal", 101011 for "One", 101111 as "Two" and so on. In your room, the wall tiles receive the 101010 and 101011 and 101111 but not in straight lines from the nearest receiver, but some a reflected, deflected, absorbed. Creating an image for that particular frequency over time. You can also code per frequency domain ranges as well as time coded ranges. This is the first step of coding Soliton Lens locations.

Magnetic fields exist in 4th directional spacetime, which is why they pass through matter and can exert force through solid matter without needing to influence that matter (example, normal paper isn't bothered by magnets, but you can attract metal or repel magnets). The magnetic field is a 4D shadow of the magnet pushed into 3D spacetime. The reason I bring this up is obvious, if you have no temporal force energy you cannot change temporal matter's directional path.

What's funny to me is that so many parts of engineering are so heavily tied to ODEs and PDE solutions in particular. As an example, just about everything in control systems and signal processing are based on solutions to coupled constant coefficient ODE's. We have to do this balance between caring about analytical solutions for things like modeling performance predictions, but not getting lost in the weeds of the deeper mathematical properties.
>>
>>16190547
why did you even waste your time in undergrad then?
>>
he's completely right, and its even worse today since all the techniques you learn are completely useless in real life. Numerical methods have replaced almost all analytical methods. Only if you are doing graduate level research then you'll need this as a stepping stone to learning more advanced methods like integral transforms, and variational calculus.
>>
>>16190714
I don't think this is true at all, especially for many applications of ODE's to engineering.

If you are working on a control system (for example), this is generally represented by a coupled set of potentially non-linear ODEs. Most controllers for these non-linear systems developed around linearization, and for stability you almost always need to have analytical forms as if the system is very ill-conditioned even slight errors in your approximation of the Hessian will produce a very unstable system.

Similarly, if you are doing state estimation (which is essentially just control but in the other direction) if you aren't able to produce analytical forms you won't have any meaningful performance assessments for your estimator.

That's not to say that numerical methods aren't important to know and understand, but there are still many domains where having a grasp of the analytical process is important.

When I smoked weed for the first time, I couldn't feel my face, nor could I tell whether my mouth was fully closed due to not being able to sense pressure in my teeth. That's all I need to know on this. I don't need soience to tell me what's clearly true from experience.
My facial proprioception also seemed fucked, wherein I couldn't discern my facial expression without looking in a mirror. My first high was a lot more intense than most it seems. Obviously if you use it every day you're going to build tolerance and a month down the line it's no longer good at pain relief.
