@BhattiLaib9960 Esther

What’s an old-fashioned grandma name I could give my girl?

@JustAMomNamedMM Freaky in a GOOD way, though!

Hey my eyes look kinda freaky today

@WarMonitor3 Well, for certain parochial definitions of "culture", maybe...

I find it really funny when people say “Britain has no culture” How about the culture of excellence that created liberal democracy, enforced the end of slavery, steam engines, World Wide Web, anti biotics, industrialisation. You can’t see it cause it’s all around you.

@JustAMomNamedMM Did both. I vote for the tattoo - way less expensive for all concerned. Although I do have memories that keep me way warmer than my tattoo.

You guys, what do you think my midlife crisis should be? Illicit affair? Tattoos?

@VelocityVe23 @latestincosmos My brane is still stuck in Copenhagen. I'd miss Erwin's cat if I left...

@PaulChefurka @latestincosmos Yes. If one subsribes to MWI theory with infinite expansion potential...it could be infinite in variety across the technological spectrum...

Many people subscribe to the Theory that the most likely outcome is that we’re all living in a Simulation. If we’re living in a simulation… who’s running it — and why?

@ActisAndres It's also the only such excursion that humans have been around to experience. FAFO.

Sí, la Tierra ha vivido múltiples cambios climáticos por la concentración de CO2 en la atmósfera. Pero el cambio actual es distinto: está provocado por el ser humano (quema combustibles fósiles) y se está produciendo a una velocidad récord. Ciencia pura y dura. El resto, bulos.

@VelocityVe23 Three anti-entropic forces in the universe: sunshine, gravity and love :-)

Of late my mind has been wandering on introspective awareness limitations affecting potential entropy thresholds within our universe... Alas I have concluded that 'love' is a key propagation element that we should all try and seed more of. #infintyisours Seize it.

@VelocityVe23 @latestincosmos There are probably a number of Liebig Limits that could trigger a die-off under the right circumstances.

@PaulChefurka @latestincosmos Plus, emerging civs might (through enthusiasm) pop their seams - co2, resource issues..to not then reach any notable level...

@iamAtheistGirl I wonder how I got to become a third-generation atheist, with two more generations coming up behind. Luckily you don't need to believe in a god to have kids.

i don’t think he’s telling the truth about not caring

@Barphbie0 Did you know it hurts to have beer come out your nose because you're laughing so hard? Well done!

"What are you into?" is such a broad question, like do I reply with a TV series or choking?

@VelocityVe23 @latestincosmos I can see the attraction there. I prefer the CO2 explanation because it doesn't require any deliberate species-level action. Self-organized growth and carbon dependency do the heavy lifting. No global decisions required, just local choices to always give your kids a better life.

@PaulChefurka @latestincosmos Yeah. That's kind of terrifying... but I lean towards the 'dark forest' scenario instead... :)

@PerseusLeGrand I have to pee.

Quelle est votre première pensée quand vous voyez cela ?

@VelocityVe23 @latestincosmos IMO there are no civilizations anywhere in the universe that have ascended even to Type 1. Planetary climate change due to CO2 emissions truncates their development. This may explain Fermi's Paradox. A further explanation of this thinking is posted at paulchefurka.ca/Fermi.html

I think a simulation could be run by a Type 3 civilization on the K scale. A full 1-1 representation of their mapped universe. Purpose: to identify branch point propogation on the waveform which leads to a catastrophe/hellscape to try and prevent it from happening across an infinite number of universes. I've touched on this in detail in my replies with Grok.

@latestincosmos Nobody's running it. The simulation is a self-organizing system that is ipso facto indistinguishable from Reality™. I think Jean Baudrillard kicked it off.

@amazing_physics Helium. The major city/quasi-capital of Barsoom.

The first permanent city on Mars is about to be founded — humanity’s bold new chapter on the Red Planet. You’ve been chosen to officially name it. What would you call it, and why?

@iamAtheistGirl I think I've seen an AI of that.

@evelyn__071 Do the exponentiation first. Then there are two methods. The first is to resolve the numerator by subtraction, then divide by the denominator. The other is to divide the denominator into each term in the numerator, then subtract. 6

Maths lovers Prove your brain power!

@Hania16836 Biffy

@discowalrus @PhysInHistory Step 1: Assume Nothing... Step 2: Assume Everything...

@PhysInHistory How do you get everything from nothing?
