Thread 16779014
>WHY DOES THE UNIVERSE EXIST??
Let’s end these threads once and for all. People tend to ask “why is there something rather than nothing?” because nothingness doesn’t seem to need an explanation, whereas something demands an explanation or cause. So nothingness seems to be more natural or intuitive. But true nothingness doesn’t just mean the absence of space, energy, time, and matter. It also means the absence of physical laws as well as the laws of logic and causality. So the fact that something exists is not absurd, since its origin is ultimately beyond causality altogether. There was literally nothing to prevent something from existing, because such laws didn’t exist prior to their arrival. Consider causality itself. What caused the law of causality? Obviously it must have no cause, and there is no contradiction here. Laws only apply to the particular instantiation of universes. There could be universes with different laws altogether.

Now stop asking this basic question over and over. It’s already solved. To help answer it in the future, all you need to say is this:

Non-human intelligences
When we talk about evidence for non-human intelligences, it helps to rank claims from least to most credible:

Weakest are folkloric and anecdotal accounts — myths of “sky people,” abduction narratives, or supposed out-of-place artifacts. They’re culturally interesting but prone to hoaxes, misperceptions, or psychological explanation.

Middle tier are astrophysical anomalies. “Oumuamua” accelerated in ways hard to explain, though natural hypotheses exist. The 1977 “Wow!” Signal and certain Fast Radio Bursts sparked speculation, but remain one-off or likely natural. Tabby’s Star once looked like a Dyson sphere candidate, but dust fits better. These remind us the universe holds mysteries, though “aliens” aren’t the default explanation.

Stronger are reported physical traces and physiological effects, like claims of exotic alloys or the “Oz effect” during close encounters. Intriguing, but not yet scientifically verified.

Strongest evidence comes from multi-sensor, multi-observer military encounters: the 2004 Nimitz “Tic Tac,” 2015 Gimbal, and others. Pilots, radar, infrared, and visual confirmation all line up, showing craft with extraordinary flight profiles that defy current human technology. Importantly, these aren’t fringe claims — the U.S. Department of Defense and NASA openly admit that some UAP remain unidentified after rigorous analysis.

In short: the best evidence is not ancient myths or speculation, but instrument-verified data collected by trained observers and acknowledged by official institutions. That doesn’t prove “aliens” — but it does establish that we are confronting a genuine unknown, one that deserves serious study.

The roots of the Zeta Riemann function
It's said that one of the first things that was done with a digital computer was computing the values of the zeroes of the zeta function, and that today it's known that the first gorrilion zeroes lie EXACTLY on the line.

My question is, how can they "compute" something like that. They don't say that the zeroes lie arbitrarily close to the line, they say "exactly on the line". How is this possible, wouldn't you need a proof for something like that?

Me, a non scientist, just figured out the solution to quantum mechanical spooky action and retrocausality.

The idea that you can for example toss a coin, freeze time and calculate heads or tails based on momentum and other variables is only possible because a coin toss is not a singular entity. It is a thing composed of many things, each giving you more information.
Or if you send out 2 shoes in 2 boxes upon opening one you know that the shoe for the other foot was in the other box all the time while being sent. Because you have info about the manufacturing process etc.

An electron in superposition has no other available info. It's like trying to establish a causality and predict an outcome WITH ZERO knowledge and context about anything.
It comes down to relying on the simplest and oldest method to establish knowledge. Looking at what electron 1 actually is doing to know what's up with electron 2.

I feel like science today lost all common sense and is like witchcraft as in turning everything upside down with descriptions which arrive at the same conclusion as what feels natural but using inside out definitions like
"A wave of possibility which only manifests into a position after observing"

NO! Your knowledge manifests into certainty when you look.

I'm thankful for every reply explain why this isn't true and I'm retarded, because right now it seems to me like scientist are just a bunch of mentally ill people.

a(t) = 1/(1+z)
a(t) = 1/(1+z)
Key Physics:

Scale factor relation: 1 + z = 1/a, so a(t) = 1/(1+z)
Scale factor is set to 1.0 at present time, smaller values in the past
Size at any time = scale factor × current size
1 MWD = 100,000 light-years
Calculations based on Planck 2018 cosmological parameters via astropy.cosmology (current universe age ≈13.79 billion years; observable diameter ≈93 billion light-years)
Post-inflation size corrected based on standard inflationary models (assuming ≈60 e-folds of expansion), yielding a physical diameter for the observable universe of ≈0.88 mm (≈0.035 inches), close to the size of a grain of sand.

Does this sound correct?

ai cant do maths and ai is full of shit and i am full of shit
in a "hypothetical" lottery game "pick 6 balls out of 48 with 35 drawn", with expected return of between 2 and 3 times ticket price per winning ticket (or more)
and a second "hypothetical" lottery where you "match 3 numbers against a draw of 6 from 40 numbers" with returns of 65x ticket price per winning ticket
can you please express this in odds of winning where 1 is 1 winning ticket 2 is 2, etc (in decimal) against numbers of tickets purchased and expected returns that i can make a table from, or as a vector equation i can make a graph from.
the ai chat machine is wrong when it makes numbers from what it projects is potential winning combinations / total combinations
and i am wrong when i write into the calculator 6/(35/48) and 37(6/40)
i am looking for an optimal number of tickets to "purchase" at value "1" to ensure most wins per bet on the 6/35/48 lottery and likely projected potential returns on the 3/6/40 lottery

An argument for libertarian free will Archived
1) Transcendental Argument from Rational Deliberation (self-defeat of strict unfreedom)

P1. To rationally deliberate and believe for reasons you must be able, at the moment of settling on a belief/intention, to select among live alternatives in light of reasons (call this agential control).
P2. If no LFW exists, then either (D) strict determinism is true, making exactly one continuation of the world possible, or (L) only undirected luck resolves alternatives. Under (D) you never genuinely select; under (L) the resolution is not yours (no authorship). In both cases, agential control is absent.
P3. Denying agential control undermines the rational status of any belief reached via deliberation—including the belief “there is no LFW.” (It becomes a mere byproduct of prior causes or luck, not something you had reason-guided power to accept or reject.)
C1. Therefore, the denial of LFW is epistemically self-defeating unless we abandon the possibility of rational belief altogether.
P4. We are more certain that rational deliberation occurs (Moorean fact of practice) than of any sweeping metaphysical thesis that would make it impossible.
C2. So we must accept that some agential control exists—i.e., there are situations in which an agent can do otherwise and is the source of which alternative is selected. That is (a modest form of) LFW.

(This doesn’t claim infallible metaphysical certainty; it’s a transcendental “you can’t deny it without using it” result.)

How to win the lottery
https://www.quatism.com/lottery.htm

Summary:
Following the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, quantum measurements result in a sample of all possible measurements, so mapping these to bits will necessarily diverge worldlines. Typically, these worldlines would converge naturally because those quantum measurements get aggregated out (to outside observers they're effectively the same,) but if you do something like map the results to big things then the divergences can persist and split off new worldlines. This is described in depth in https://www.quatism.com/theory.htm - however this has some additional advantages in the context of the lottery. It won't cover all worldlines, but it will potentially provide the ability to travel to the worldlines wherein you won via morphic travel if you can figure out how to master it.

This is /x/, so likely everyone knows "the lottery is rigged." But what if there's a way to un-rig it? That's what this is aimed at primarily. A rigged lottery relies upon having someone to rig it on behalf of, perhaps multiple someones, perhaps a great many someones in their own VIP lottery pool. What this does is provide a sort of multiversal DDoS attack against a rigged lottery: when the number of people playing quantum tickets exceeds the number of tickets available to parties rigging the lottery the absolute best-case scenario for a rigged jackpot would be a split pot, wherein everyone playing quantum tickets still has a worldline wherein they won.
