Where did it come from? Why did it expand?Can oneeven say it had a cause or was preceeded by anything if the flow of time hasnt started before the expansion?Can there be causality before time?
>>12406220There probably was nothing for an unfathomable amount of time, but if there is nothing, that includes no time, so eventually something would come to be. One possibility is that god exists as a legitimate boltzmann brain that exherts its chance consciousness to form a universe within its own mind, and then made us in his own image by giving us minds.
>>12402499Also OP i forgot to mention an important note about "something coming from nothing". In cosmological models, gravitational energy is negative, and many brilliant physicists (Einstein, Rosen, Hawking) toyed with an idea of a 0 energy universe. In this idea, the quantum vacuum energy must equal zero, but if a star has negative gravitational energy and positive matter energy they can cancel out, then hypothetically that star could emerge from a quantum fluctuation. I'm piss at explaining it myself but there's been quite a lot of work into the idea that the universe IS still nothing, i.e. all the energy cancels out to zero. Read up on the zero-energy universe theory if you want more info
Black holes expand and swallow up eachother and in the very end when it becomes one black hole it reaches critical mass and becomes a singularity again BOOM everything starts anew the exact way down to the last photon.See you in 10^83 years
>>12406389I agree, this seems the most likely

Thoughts?
>>12403849 Honestly it is hard to know. I had to search what is a vaccine e and can a vaccine give a fluOne sight said low immune people shouldn't get a treatment but that treatment was a live form.Inactive forma apparently do not produce sick people. Which people are arguing against. If youclookat the newest comments in that YouTube link. But maybe the flu vaccine e is 99.99% effective. Which means .01 is effected. 1% is 70million .1% is 7million .01% is 700k. And if a vaccine was 99.999% effective. Then .001 which is 70k. A vaccine that is 99.99% or.99.999% would be helpful. Since. Only 700k or 70kwould get infected. Bd that would be beneficial it would actually bring the death toll less then it could be. Which is why I don't think vaccines are useless. But it depends on the state the person is in when they take a shot.

>>12405625>These "hidden truths" may even be illogical, impossible, or counter-intuitive to current mathematical models and thought.I'm yet to see any reason to believe that this is an actual possiblity; saying "anything is possible bro" is all well and good, but without evidence from.

>>12405753I think it's unlikely we evolved have mathematical powers which give us perfect insight about the universe, since evolution generally selects for "good enough." Similar to how our senses of sight, sound, and touch lie to us, I don't think it's out of the question to think at some levels our maths break down and our mathematical reasoning is also lying to us.

If you solve it, please share.
>>12405386Person A cuts the cake into 3 pieces he thinks are fair, person B picks his favorite 2, and trims a bit off of his 1st favorite such that his 1st favorite becomes equal to his second. Person C gets his favorite, person B one of his remaining favorites, the one that has been trimmed if person C hasn't taken it, and person A gets the other one. The trimming is cut in three pieces that person C considers fair, person B takes his favorite, person C takes one and person A takes the other. Person A isn't jealous because he got a fair third of the cake plus some more cake, person B isn't jealous because he got his favorite slice and favorite part of the trimming, person C isn't jealous because he got his favorite slice and a fair bit of the trimming. This can be generalized for n people but the number of cuts grows very quickly.

Where else do you guys go for online scientific discussions that is similar to 4chan formatIs Reddit unironically the second best place to interact in semi real-time conversations?
>>12400232>interactions for more loose and less formalThe anonimity encourages people to let go of ego and that necessityof being approved. Since there's no social filter, believe it is i places like here where we trully interact with eachother. It's easier to be lighthearted, and to be sincere. The big irony is that here, through a totally un-humane interface, without any aspects of real life socialization, is where we can find quality human interaction.
>>12398363Too much gate keeping on reddit. Reddit is everything wrong/rotten about academia. This place is lower quality in some ways but for different and far less important reasons.

Waterproofing and conformal coatings have been around for a long time.
Why is it when I chug water (ex.: an entire bottle in one swig), I don't always feel any more hydrated, and sometimes, in fact, feel dryer?Am I really this retarded? Where has my life gone?
Chugging water actually pushes it out of you faster, not necessarily refill your body with it. Hydration works best when kept at a certain pace.

>>12405497>>12405497True, but here is some more info>The first iteration of AlphaFold applied the AI method known as deep learning to structural and genetic data to predict the distance between pairs of amino acids in a protein.>In a second step that does not invoke AI, AlphaFold uses this information to come up with a ‘consensus’ model of what the protein should look like, says John Jumper at DeepMind, who is leading the project.>The team tried to build on that approach but eventually hit the wall. So it changed tack, says Jumper, and developed an AI network that incorporated additional information about the physical and geometric constraints that determine how a protein folds. They also set it a more difficult, task: instead of predicting relationships between amino acids, the network predicts the final structure of a target protein sequence. “It’s a more complex system by quite a bit,” Jumper says.Google "‘It will change everything’: DeepMind’s AI makes gigantic leap in solving protein structures"Sorry I couldn't link because 4chan thinks my post is spam (instead of detecting the real spam in this thread)
