According to gay.i. the chances of a coin landing on heads 100 times in a row is as follows:
>The probability of flipping a coin and landing on heads 100 times in a row is extremely low, calculated as (1/2)^100, which is approximately 0.79 x 10^(-30).

How is this possible when the chances of landing on heads is about 50/50 on any given flip, including the 100th flip.

Please forgive any retardation in my post i did not pass high school, somebody please teach me.

We are going to save the sulfer today.. And you can see how I do it, Baryonic matter is the prize!

1. Sulfer and I have been linked.
2. Baryonic matter and you older generation guys are possibly linked.

The hypothesis is (weather we get to an experiment or not) that catalysts are being taken out by MK Ultra to affect people and I can beat em SAMEFAGING along to put the catalysts back.

Mine is Sulfer, you guys look to me about 1 thing, and it's (in the hypothesis today) not sulfer and might be nothing to do with me it's Baryonic matter. It's Baryonic matter (in the hypothesis) that you thought I was, and we give it a go too. We are going put our catalysts back and maybe explore options for when we lose a catalyst in future.

Can a samefags narrative do something?

why is division by zero undefined rather than indeterminate? is it purely historical or is there a reason:

>In physics, the fine-structure constant, also known as the Sommerfeld constant, commonly denoted by α alpha (the Greek letter alpha), is a fundamental physical constant that quantifies the strength of the electromagnetic interaction between elementary charged particles. It is a dimensionless quantity (dimensionless physical constant), independent of the system of units used, which is related to the strength of the coupling of an elementary charge e with the electromagnetic field

WTF is this number? Is it important? What does it measure?
Can you show me a .webm of this in actual physical reality or is it just more madeup nerd slop like "Ether" and "Dark Matter" and "Black Energy"?

Playing on a large TV it certaily looks such.
It's happening near or at the visual horizon line.
Can people on phones not see that?

That's not close.

Also then white people double down and say "the speed of sound is 340m/s, it must be close"

When nuclear blast waves travel at 1500m/s up to 3000m/s . When you point that out they say "no but sound doesn't" etc. "blast waves aren't sound" etc etc. So the linear algorithim isn't accurate. You have to take into consideration that for the first few moments it's going much faster than the speed of sound.

I hate to Twitterpost but isn't this completely wrong? In order for something to become cold, heat needs to be taken out of it. In the vacuum of space there's no medium through which the heat can be transported, so wouldn't an object which generates heat in space overheat very quickly?

How can China be so smart if their written language is literally drawings of houses and cats and shit.

PhD David Deutsch says he's as sure many worlds interpretation is correct as he is that evolution is correct. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bux0SjaUCY0

Is he right to be so confident the many worlds interpretation is true?

How do you know that even though the future was like the past in the past, that the future will be like the past in the future? and what is your basis for knowing that?

/k/ /g/ and /pol/ will post images like this and say "see this lights up the sky too, thus toropets was not a nuke"

But that doesn't like up the sky like the morning sun from the visual horizon to your feet.

Toropets did, and for an extended period of time.
Just like upshot-knothole made everything the same golden colour, for the same amount of time.

Showing that both matched in black-body spectrum emissions. Suggesting both were the same tempreature.

Are those things actually real or just smoke and mirrors? What's the use of them? How do they work? How can something be in both states? Pictures of quantum computers i see look like on purpose designed by sci fi artist to make it look weird

Why arent we on mars yet with all the billions the government has poured into SpaceX?

I'm starting to think that science really was just a mistake. That humanity would have been better off without it.
Regardless of what science has accomplished it's undeniable that it has increased the anxiety, confusion, and chaos in the world. It has given us more questions than answers. It really was a Pandora's box that can never be closed.

I can't disprove solipsism at all. In fact, it seems like I'm able to consistently prove it. Solipsism can apply to a multiplicity meaning nothing exists outside of us too though. It can apply to the singular and a plurality.

"B-But bro you're low IQ!!!"

How? Being conscious, self aware, sentient. Being aware of the present moment necessitates me being a kind of fudamental essence. This is just plainly true. Words give that a label, but the fact that I am here seems to be evidence. Can I prove others are real? No. I can believe they are...

Maybe there is a we. Am I Brahman? The singular self? Probably.

I consider all possibilities. Maybe there are Brahmans, Singular selves, Gods. Plurality. But I don't know. Maybe I'm pretending I don't know. It feels like I know.

TLDR: how do you prove anyone else is ACTUALLY having a perspective at all? I don't think it can truly be done other than believing they have one.

I've always wondered this, are there very strange functions or phenomenons that exist such that they behave normally and predictably up until a sudden "large number" then suddenly stops behaving how it used to and becomes chaotic or erratic?

Kind of like the twin prime conjecture, what if it turns out there aren't even infinitely many twin primes past an arbitrary point, that would be so strange, does there exist something like this?

PhDs open so many doors in life, it's like a complete cheat code. There's so many things you cannot do without a PhD.

The Universe 25 experiment (1958–1962) remains one of the most haunting reflections of what happens when abundance meets social collapse.

American ethologist John B. Calhoun created a so-called “Mouse Paradise” — a habitat with unlimited food, water, and shelter — to study the behavioral effects of overpopulation. At first, the mice thrived.
They ate, bred, and lived without fear. But once the population reached around 600, something dark emerged.

Social hierarchies formed. The strong dominated resources. Mothers abandoned or even attacked their young. Males lost interest in mating or became violently territorial. Eventually, reproduction ceased altogether. The colony descended into cannibalism, isolation, and apathy, until it died out completely — despite everything they needed to survive being right in front of them.

Calhoun repeated the experiment 25 times, each with the same grim outcome.
His conclusion was chilling: when a society loses purpose, cooperation, and social structure — even in abundance — it collapses from within.

Today, Universe 25 stands as a stark warning about the balance between comfort, connection, and survival — a reminder that thriving requires more than just having enough to live. It requires meaning.

I don’t get how anyone thinks real “nothing” could exist. You can picture a void or black space, but that’s still something. If there was ever truly nothing, how could anything start? There’d be no space, no time, no potential for change. It just doesn’t add up

With the average lifespan increasing over time, would you expect that healthy people who are young today will be living to 110 instead of 90?

Can this board count upwards along the number line?
Here goes:
>1

A biologist allegedly put hundreds of rats in a "rat utopia" and watched them descend into overpopulation, mass cannibalism and infertility through social dysfunction, but we only have his papers to go on as proof they really happened. There is no account of his funding, location or movements for the time period so for all we know he wrote up a fiction story as a hoax in his garage.
Is there any evidence that the events his paper describes were real?

What if quantum fluctuations are just compression artifacts of the simulator?
What if quantization itself is just the sim’s resolution limit?
If we really lived in a simulation, why would the dev waste so much memory on an infinite universe we’ll never see, instead of just making a smaller one with enough RAM left for deterministic physics at the microscopic level?

why is science so boring now?

we have millions of universes and science only knows of one
