>supposed great minds arguing while none them notice the opposition interpreted the question differently
The actual answer to the question is: "The next ball you pick is more likely to be green than in the last pull and the next ball is equally likely to be either colour".

>Funnily enough I guarantee you I've learned more math (masters) and linguistics (bachelor's) than you.
Yeah? You can guarantee that you're the only person in the world to obtain either a master's in mathematics or a bachelor's in linguistics? And a fat load of good they did you, too.

The problem is exactly Bertrand's Box except instead of two balls per box there are 100. If you can answer Bertrand's Box correctly, then you wouldn't be ranting about "brain-damaged" "schizophrenics" with "magic urns" now because both the question and the answer are the same.

>>16145090
I've corrected people on their misunderstanding several times now. The problem seems to be that none of them is willing to acknowledge it. Seems one side is capable of seeing the problem from multiple angles whereas the other stubbornly clings to a flawed interpretation.
Anyway, that's not the answer to the question. The next pull is not -necessarily- more likely to be green, in the <1% of cases where we got the all-red urn. That is why this interpretation makes no sense for a multiple choice question. The answer would then be "it's A except sometimes when it's C". Also, the part about either colour being equally likely is plain wrong. It has been pretty conclusively shown that red is twice as likely as green.

*with the number of boxes adjusted to accommodate for every possible combination, of course.
>>
>>16145897
You pick a box. There are x gold coins and y silver coins.
You draw a gold coin with probability x/(x+y).
The second draw probability to be a gold is (x-1)/(x-1+y).
Either y = 0 in which case you're guaranteed to draw a second gold coin... Or y = 1 and x = 1 such that the probability to draw the silver coin is 100%, which is more than 50%.
Everything works as expected.

>>
>>16143061
Depends on your definition of a multiverse. If every other universe is "identical" to ours then no, all physics would still be the same. However, if every universe is "all encompassing" then yes, there will be "infinite" universes in which there will be an "infinite" amount of different variations of physics.
>>
>>16144273
The existence of simulators/creators still begs for explanations. You need special pleading to ignore that. Boltzmann brains are formed randomly so there's still a question of "Why this? And why does it persist?" And you're back to some version of anthropic principle again.

or the ruse of chronic inflamatory diseases, which are mostly declared as :
>autoimmune disease
Which is like "Dark matter" of medicine.

Here.
the studies that look at incidence of autoimunity, do not count the "diagnosis term or ICD-10 code", but also the clinical manifestation which in the past had different diagnosis but the same symptoms.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/294419057_The_World_Incidence_and_Prevalence_of_Autoimmune_Diseases_is_Increasing

Could it be because we "interfere with immunity" with substances that agitate the immunesystem?

"net % increased /year incidence and prevalence of autoimmune diseases worldwide were 19.1±43.1 and 12.5±7.9, respectively. Rheumatic, endocrinological, gastrointestinal and neurological autoimmune diseases revealed the following annual % increases per year: 7.1, 6.3, 6.2, and 3.7, respectively. In all of these, differences between old vs new frequencies were highly significant (p < 0.0001). Comparing various autoimmune diseases, celiac disease increased the most and the highest increase in incidence, comparing old to new surveys is allocated to myasthenia gravis. Despite considerable variations between the countries, celiac, type 1 diabetes and myasthenia gravis frequencies increased the most in Canada, Israel and Denmark, respectively. Frequencies of the autoimmune diseases increased significantly in the West and North when compared to East and South, respectively."
And apparently it's now totally normal that children have "rheumatic athritis" with 0-14 years.

What's the purpose of taking the supremum of the infimum here in equation A1.5? This is apparently supposed to extend arithmetic to infinite decimals.

Maybe let be me more direct in what I'm thinking of.

Let m be an integer. Let a be a sequence such that [math]|a_i - a_j| < 10^{-m}[/math] for all i,j. Let b be the sequence defined by [math]b_i = \inf_{j \geq i} a_j[/math]. Let [math]a_n[/math] be an arbitrarily chosen member of the sequence a. You should be able to show:

[math]a_n - 10^{-m} < a_i < a_n + 10^{-m}[/math] for all i
[math]a_n - 10^{-m} \leq b_i \leq a_n + 10^{-m}[/math] for all i
[math]a_n - 10^{-m} \leq \sup \{b_i\} \leq a_n + 10^{-m}[/math]
>>
>>16145731
>Let a be a sequence
I should have specified:
*Let a be a sequence of finite decimals
>>
>>16145731
in fact for the second one we can (and may as well) show the stronger
[math]a_n - 10^{-m} \leq b_i < a_n + 10^{-m}[/math] for all i
>>
>>16145731
The first one follows naturally from |a_i - a_n| < 10^-m as this means (by definition) -10^-m < a_i - a_n < 10^-m, so we have, for fixed n that: a_n - 10^-m < a_i < a_n + 10^-m.

The second one comes as follows: we assert that b_i <= a_j for any integer n, there exists an element a_l such that b_i > a_l - 10^-n, but also a_j - a_l < 10^-m, so b_i > a_j - 10^-m - 10^-n for any n, j so b_i >= a_j - 10^-m. I'm not sure how to prove the other side of the inequality or the last statement.

Look at this shit. How is science different from voodoo priests saying voodoo is proven true because another voodoo priest said so? Or a Wikipedia article saying something is true because Salon said it’s true and Salon said it’s true because Wikipedia said it’s true? (Someone initiated the circular reference and then it becomes self-perpetuating)

Science is in salvageable and scientists are net negative impact 105 iq assburgers thinking they’re much smarter than they really are. They also believe they’re at the end of history at any given moment, again because of midwitism. This allows them to justify any atrocity, and never consider any evidence outside their established narrative.
