If the past is ultimately a 4d object, I wonder if we can measure time in meters. We know that a 1 meter = 1 meter = 1 meter in all 3 spatial dimensions. We know this because a box 1 m^3 has the same length in all 3 directions when measured by a single meter stick. But what about time? Is...

The map of the cosmic microwave background radiation of the universe looks quite random. This would be expected since the map of radiation is a relic of quantum fluctuations of the very early universe. But what could we see that would make the map look designed or improbable? For example...

I am having a problem wrapping my head around why our universe is so improbable. For simplicity, if there were, say, a billion possible universes that could have existed and each one is different in some way, then of course the one universe that appears had the one in a billion chance of...

Assume a universe capable of having in it a continuous area of, say, 3 meters squared. An infinite number of points exist in this area. For example (2,1) where x = 2 and y = 1 on a Cartesian plane is one of many, but its area is 0. So it seems to imply an infinite number of 0 spaces makes a...

So you have actually see the video to appreciate it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCepT9N5Slw It's only 18 seconds

I miss living in the hospital. I had a 4 week stay, and it felt magical. About 3 months ago, I had what felt like a 10 day panic attack only this was more painful than my usual 15 minute ones. So I got a ton of drugs there, (and I am still on 5 different drugs per day). I miss the hospital...

I think I found a new hobby. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GD95tC6EDA&t=1s

Just kidding, negative reviews are welcome too if you must. Here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1ISwVKJ80M

In the quote below is a plea/message intended for people who want more health and medical research from their governments; it is also meant to raise awareness to people who don't realize this could be a political issue. If enough people pass this on using email, Facebook, etc. the more likely...

I was watching the business news, and a pundit said that Canada should start building their own oil refineries. (This has always been a sore spot for us because we pull oil out of our ground and then send it to the U.S. to be refined only to buy it back at a heightened price.) Of course...

Imagine you are in a different solar system that you just travelled to and have never been to yet. Unfortunately, during a space walk, your tether breaks and the tension forced you towards a moon that your ship is orbiting. You survive the fall because shrubs broke your landing. You start...

Stronger judgements are now casted and punishments are now given for sexual misconduct now more than recent years. We all new that this was going on because of all of the countless "casting-couch" stories and stigmas that Hollywood powers get, yet now networks, businesses, etc. are going out of...

Increasing entropy is often the constant of what makes the present different from the past. But we also know that entropy is only statistical; it doesn't always have to be that way. So given enough universes, there will eventually be a universe exactly like ours that starts complex, but...

A surprising result came to me when trying to picture a smallest possible distance. Here is an attempt to falsify the logic of a smallest distance using a proof by contradiction. Because this is a proof by contradiction, we will start off assuming a smallest distance exists and see what...

(such as a healthcare proposal) that was formed by an interest group not actually working for their government? For example, would it be unheard of for some really concerned group, of say conservatives that really just want a better healthcare bill to pass in the U.S., to actually form one...

I say she is innocent even though I feel sick when I read her texts in the article below. The article is short but seems to sum up the whole thing and in a very compelling way...

I was boiling water in a pot and just about to put in the linguine when I decided to cook some sausage too. I just turned off the stove so that the noodles and the sausage would start at the same time as I prepared the sausage. I turned back on the burner to start boiling the water again and...

What is it about time that is different than the spatial dimensions when it comes its dilation? Lorenz transformations have length contractions acting like a 2-way system. A meter stick's length will contract from the observer's frame as it speeds from being initially at rest with the...

We live in a flat and finite universe, but it is growing too fast for us to ever get to its "wall" of existence. My question is, what if the universe were the size of, say, the Earth plus only 10 feet of atmosphere, and you jumped on a trampoline with an acceleration that would get you 11 feet...

To make this less confusing for me, let's just stick with U.S. republicanism (R) vs democratic principles (D) (although, if you want to expand on your country's politics you are more than welcome) I am a little unsure about what primal elements of fiscal policies of R vs D that manifest to...
