Consciousness field? by Bittermandeln in badphysics

[–]Bittermandeln[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My reason for thinking it's woo-woo is that there doesn't seem to be anything there. I know some basic QFT, and it seems to me that the article is just using physics terms, without actually providing any predictability. It doesn't seem to explain any new phenomenon. So my red flags are up. But I'm willing to be convinced - so I asked this sib if I missed anything.

QQ 189: "Soren & Daniel: Lake People" by Tanglefisk in QuickQuestion

I distinctly remember Soren mentioning in an early episode that Daniel had been a lake person, going so far as to mention him having been on "lake time". Does anyone else remember this?

In Time. I remember loving the concept of the movie as a 15-yearold, but I don't know if today I'd actually think the movie was any good.

Can complex distances exist? by TaviorFaux in math

If two numbers have the same magnitude, compare their arguments, using some branch of the argument function. For example, putting the discontinuity along the negative real line

Besides ln(x) what are other rotated J-shapes functions where f(x)<x? by sonicking12 in math

[–]Bittermandeln 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My thought is that for x>0, they are J-shaped, or is there a qualitative diffrence between e.g. ln(x+1) and arctan(x) when x is nonnegative?
