The triangle’s where it’s really at ∇ . Hexagons fanboysare always saying “but what about benzene? Obviously only a superior shape must occur naturally like that!”. But hear this, hexagooner: What about ozone? What about water? Also, don’t you know we can make hexagons by grouping triangles ? Heck, you can make any polygon with enough triangles.The only question is why we’d ever want to do that if we already have triangles, because triangles are the best shape. Δ ∇ Δ ∇

Understandable, u and v are originally the same letter, so the words are really “vvvla” and “vvlva”, just a small permutation…

Tbf, Meme Man gets along with Orang since the end of Riddle of the Rocks 2, and even more so after the events of Coda of the Cosmos. As for the vegetals? They can’t be that big of a deal for a transcendent one.

- Comment on Will generative AI images' popularity create a bigger demand for human-made art? 4 weeks ago:
I’m no expert, but don’t think so. It’s mostly non-artists who flock to stable diffusion and the likes, so it doesn’t affect the number of artists or the offer of man-made art. The demand wouldn’t really increase either. There won’t be more people who need art, and even if a significant amount prefer human-made art, the predencr of some people satisfied with AI means a decrease of demand.

I feel I’d be inclined to help the turtle in the scenario you describe; but since you’re question implies I’m not doing it, I guess I must be in a hurry for something really important. Or maybe there’s a bunch of bikers speeding between me and the turtle and I can’t get to it without getting crushed. Or maybe it’s an extremely creepy and off-putting turtle, like Moral from the Neverending Story.
- Comment on If a child went into a coma and woke up as an adult what would happen ? 4 weeks ago:
Apparently this condition exists and is called “locked-in syndrom”, tho I don’t know about the specific case mentioned here.
Closest match my quick search revealed was Martin Pistorius Not everything matches, this one was had locked-in syndrome for “only” 12 years, but the symptoms check out. Apparently there’s a book about him called “Ghost Boy”, so maybe that’s where the other details are from.
Christine Waddel was the longest case of the syndrom I could find, paralyzed for 15 years.
I also found something closer to the 30 years claim, Rom Houben’s story… Which was a horrible hoax. A man had been in a coma for 23 years, and a psychiatrist claimed that he was actually conscious. He was provided a communication facilitor, used to communicate via a keyboard, and he shared his whole story… But that was all fake, the psychiatrist or someone working with Hil was writing these messages. But for several years, people wrote about this and believed it, you can still find articles from 2008-2009 that don’t really question the story. Maybe they’re quoting this story without having seen the refutations; but this still would involve some additions or errors on their part (Rom never recovered, for one).

Yes.
- Comment on Was Isaac Newton physics jesus? 5 weeks ago:
The thoughts experiment are no different from the maths and wouldn’t have occurred in any context, or at least wouldn’t have come close to yielding the same conclusions. The most famous one was Einstein imagining himself riding a beam of light iirc. As you say, he imagined time and space stretching. Why would someone have imagined that in the 1600s? What reason was there to think riding light was any different from riding a very fast stream on a boat? Who knew then that you couldn’t just add the speed of lights to other speeds like you do in every galilean frame in Newtonian physics? You conceded that Fizeau’s experiments were a starting point. These experiments would’ve never happened without the questions raised by the discrepancy between Newton and Maxwell’s laws! And if they had, someone with no prior knowledge of Maxwell’s laws wouldn’t have had any interest or use for these results.
- Comment on Was Isaac Newton physics jesus? 5 weeks ago:
I think several other people have a better claim to that title, like Galileo Galilei and Roger Bacon. Bacon is one of the first to spell out the scientific method and Galilei… Well, you know what he did. I’d say Galileo is more Jesus-like because he was persecuted by the dominant church. And Galileo moved things a lot. Remember, Newton was born around the time Galileo died, he was born in a period of scientific upheaval. Galileo also introduced concepts that played a big role in Newtonian physics, like Galilean frames, the relativity of speeds, the idea that speed is conserved in the absence of a force…
You could argue there was also a slow acceleration of progress before Galileo 's time, and also that Copernicus is another good candidate for example, but if you really wanna emulate the Christ-like narrative, Galileo seems better. He’s even named after a region where Jesus might’ve lived.
- Comment on Was Isaac Newton physics jesus? 5 weeks ago:
A lot of what Newton used in Principia was already more or less in the air, it was just a matter of someone picking up the pieces and seeing the big pictures. It couldn’t have been more than a few decades at most until someone found out if it hadn’t been Newton.
- Comment on Was Isaac Newton physics jesus? 5 weeks ago:
No it shouldn’t? Without Mercury’s orbit having been noticed, there was no need yet to question Newton’s theory, they simply worked as far as anyone could see; so why complicate it? And without the Lorentz transformation, the math Einstein used wasn’t there. And without Fizeau’s experiment, the fact that the speed of light is the same in every frame wasn’t known, and that’s a huge part of the theory. And if he had intuited it somehow, the Maxwell’s equations were even there either. Special relativity is at it’s core a way reconcile Maxwell’s equations with the core tenants of Newton’s theory. There was no way special relativity could’ve been found even half a century earlier, let alone over two centuries…

If I’m not mistaken, Temüjin first got on the war path because Zuckerberg had kidnapped his favourite wife. When he raided the camp where he thought he’d taken her and found a shaman who told him “Sorry, your princess is in another castle”, that’s when he came Genghis Khan. Even after he got her back for real he kept chasing the Zuck all over Eurasia.

Fertility rates are on the decrease everywhere.This doesn’t mean that population is decreasing, population increases as long as the fertility rate is superior to 1, which is still the case in a large portion of the world, but I think humanity on a global scale is expected to go beneath that treshold around 2050-2060.
