Thread 16789669

Which do you think science will crack first: the human brain, or the mysteries of space and the universe?

And by "crack" I mean understand it 100%.
Will it even happen in our lifetimes? Will solving one solve the other?

Do you guys think Milkdromeda will kill our solar system to death?
If Milkdromeda were a woman would she be pretty?
Why didn't they think of a better name for her?

>>16789686
Milky Way (Via Lattea) is a kino name tho, Romans were based with names

>>16789686
The solar system will not exist in its current form by the time Andromeda reaches us. (~5bn years)

>>16789699
Sure it will, we will feed the Sun a can of spinach
>>16789698
Names based on visuals or local features are always good but they arise less out of active creativity and more out of unavoidable ignorance, so you never get any namekino once you understand a subject, unless it's grasping for some visual straw to distinguish a really similar subspecies, or it's a joke like "sonic hedgehog gene"

>>16789669 (OP)
The image is fake FYI, both images are from the Millennium run. The Millennium run is a simulation of a large volume of the universe, based on standard cosmology and cold dark matter.

80% of chance be having observable universe inside black hole
20% of chance be having A BRAIN

>Why didn't they think of a better name for her?
science cant come up with good names, their should be hiring a decent sci-fi writer for that

>>16789703
Give examples of namekino, then

>>16789705
I could tell by the obvious fact that they're the same fucking image. Left has some more filters than right, but you can tell they're literally the same

saar hours?

>>16789669 (OP)
only a brainlet would fall for it, carefully inspect it and you will see the exact same picture
OP is a faggot

>>16789725
it's just a pic, the topic doesn't depend on it

>>16789669 (OP)
brain
its a pain in the ass to read and compute the signals on a billion tiny wires, but its easier than getting to the nearest star

>>16789733
think like a brilliant...

>>16789731
Luckily, I am ready to test my Alcubierre drive, which will definitely not collapse the temporal dimension of the unive

ENOUGH BULLSHIT!
ARE WE ***ACTUALLY*** IN A RELATIVELY SECLUDED PORTION OF THE OBSERVABLE UNIVERSE OR IS THAT JUST ***FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE*** BECAUSE OF TIME SPACE GRAVITY BULLSHIIIIIIIIIIT FROM ALL SIDES?

>>16789731
I'd say brain as well. Space operates on too many counterintuitive principles.
>what if 90% of all matter and energy in the universe were literally undetectable

>>16789669 (OP)
We simply cannot fully understand the universe until we fully understand consciousness. Definitely not happening in our lifetimes.

>>16789774
The universe is as large as the light from its edges takes to travel to us :^)

The human brain is 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001%

the size of the known universe. Only the worst most despicable idiot would ever postulate that a human brain could understand the observable universe, let alone the entire universe. The same holds true for the human brain understanding itself on a quantum level. Absurdly illogical bullshit of the worst order.

>t. literally retarded asshole

"haha I want to see billions of years into the past, let me rotate this satellite slightly"
ramblings of the deranged
>>16789916
damn, this retard doesn't know about books, databases, or compression algorithms
"b-but.....this cubic meter has three electrons that must be what you meant by knowing everything, right?"

>>16789916
I don't see how size has anything to do with it.
In fact, you defeated your own argument: something as tiny as a human brain is on the level of complexity of the entire universe.

>>16789705
Yeah, that image is fake, but it's based on a real world study. Here's the real version:
https://phys.org/news/2020-11-human-brain-resemble-universe.html
"We calculated the spectral density of both systems. This is a technique often employed in cosmology for studying the spatial distribution of galaxies," explains Franco Vazza. "Our analysis showed that the distribution of the fluctuation within the cerebellum neuronal network on a scale from 1 micrometer to 0.1 millimeters follows the same progression of the distribution of matter in the cosmic web but, of course, on a larger scale that goes from 5 million to 500 million light-years."

>>16789993
Sorry sweety, you can't understand anything bigger than you. Tall buildings? Incomprehensible. Mountains? Incomprehensible. Anon is 6'0" when you're only 5'11"? His mind is incomprehensible to you.

>>16789669 (OP)
as the board's resident neuroscientist i'll go with the universe being cracked first. we've barely scratched the surface of neuroscience. meanwhile physicists have QFT going for them. the only way we might solve the brain first is if the universe is actually involved in some diety-created omniverse shit with ftl travel, hyperspace, wormholes, etc.

>>16790691
>MY field is more complex
naturally

>>16790691
Bro we have brains right here. We can look at them. It's only a matter of tech getting better to look at them better.

Good luck looking inside a black hole bro.
>just wait for le technology
haha yeah nah, it's not even in the same ballpark

>>16789731
Even if we could fully measure the brain we're a long way from understanding it

>>16790691
