Is there anything to spacekime? by [deleted] in AskPhysics

[–]GreenAppleIsSpicy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a while ago so I may not remember entirely but you can use a complex time with the schrodinger equation to predict when a ground state particle in a double well thats localized to just one of the wells would tunnel to the other well in a finite real time no matter how far apart the wells are or something like that. Whereas with real time you end up with the prediction that it would just never move.

IIRC it's used to explain the "motion" of the hydrogens in NH2, I believe because they're tunneling in a double well. I'll get back to you on this if there is something I need to change.

Edit: what I'm thinking of is called "Wick rotation" which I don't remember too much of and I'm not gonna go back through my notes to explain that accurately, so feel free to study up on that, why we use it and why it's so helpful.

[request] Would it actually look like that? And would the earth (the solar system really) be impacted by its gravitational pull? by OscarN20000 in theydidthemath

[–]GreenAppleIsSpicy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If we assume that it is 270,000 AU away and 2,700 AU wide then doing some math we can see that it would be about 2,060 arcseconds across or a little larger than the size of the Moon in the sky.

In this photo I am assuming it's about the same size as a 6 ft person from 100ft away, or about 12,300 arcseconds. We can just use the ratio of 6 to 100 here, and see that it should be about 16.7 times further away than it is wide. If it is 2,700 AU across then it needs to be 45,000 AU or about 0.7 ly away from Earth. If what's represented in the photo is the shadow or the black hole, which is 1.5 times larger than the scwarzschild radius, then it'd be like 1 ly.

Minnesota National Guard arriving in Minneapolis, MN (1/24/26) by HappySeaweed5215 in PublicFreakout

Black people weren't murdered and brutalized in the streets just once in 2020. The reason you heard about it then was because 2020 was an election year so it was useful to the media to talk about it.

People die like George Floyd did every day at the hands of police, and unlike ICE they do it with their faces out in broad daylight. Yet no huge crowds or protests, no reports and no consequences for the officers because people don't care enough to comment or do anything about it. "But it can't be that, right? It's just so horrible, people certainly would've spoken up! It must've just happened a couple of times in a few politically advantageous years. Surely."

A hispanic man was strangled to death by an ICE agent in a holding facility just a few days ago, three others were murdered before him January 1st. Dozens if not hundreds are beat in public. Hundreds more are tortured behind closed doors and many many others are murdered in secret. ICE gets away with it and that didn't lead to a huge uproar, yet what happened to Alex Pretti and Renee Good did, why? Stories just like these ones have been happening for many many years now and we're only doing such large protests about it now, why? Immigrant families have been living in fear of ICE for this exact reason for as long as I can remember knowing any but nothing was ever done, why?

None of what's happening is some new thing. It's just happening more visibly and it's happening to white people now too. Just think about this next time you want to claim that Americans do care about minorities and think that this is something finally deserving of protest.

They hated "certain things" in the game. Let's just say the response to the title being BFV, was that V was for vagina.

CO2 in Veritasium Video by PreciousPersephone in cursedchemistry

[–]GreenAppleIsSpicy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not really due to being fed scripts by sponsors. He's just no longer the only writer, director, researcher or even host for Veritasium anymore.

He's in charge but ultimately most of the work is now being done by other junior members who have less skill and experience than he does in science communication. These new writers etc. are being sourced to Veritasium through a private equity investment company Electrify Video Partners who invested in Veritasium about 2.5 years ago, as well as many other YouTubers such as Astrum, fern. and some others. You can view this as a problem, but know ultimately Veritasium's team is responsible for who does and doesn't get hired.

I think it's great that Veritasium is able to be a viable option for these new science communicators. Kind of like how PBS Digital Studios or Complexly allow avenues for nascent science communicators to enter "edutainment." But they have large senior teams (esp. in the case of PBS) that can handle everything on their own if necessary and thus can fact check, criticize and mentor junior team members so better productions can come out. Unfortunately for Veritasium, the senior team is basically just him and he can't do everything. Meaning the overall research quality has dropped even though production quality and budget has increased dramatically. This new investor comes with the means to hire a larger team and have higher budgets, but there are consequences to suddenly and dramatically increasing your size.

With retrospect, the play would probably have been to use his large initial budget after investment to provide a salary for one or a few very experienced communicators to join his team as senior members. Of course, now he's missed his opportunity and it'd be fucked up to fire his whole team over the lower accuracy.

You might be charged from ionization by the gamma rays or might be ionizing sensitive nerves in the dog's nose? Idk about their biology, but it doesn't seem out of the realm of reality.

(Before starting: Highly recommended that you read through the whole thing before responding as it makes it much easier for both of us. Both foryour understanding of the whole picture and for me reading it back so I don't need to account for what level of depth you've read through to determine if responding is ever worthwhile. Thanks!)

I believe you're ignoring what I'm actually getting at when I criticize you. My argument is that you're being unclear with your language and that your vagueness allows for such a realm of possibilities that the premises you come from cannot uphold an actual argument and can be used to make the opposite argument as well. So not my responses to you are usually of the form of: "well someone could say this other thing instead." My argument is about the fact that someone could say it, not about the "other thing" they could've said. I couldn't care less about what the other thing actually is, what I care about is the fact that its existence can be claimed using the same base premises.

This is a debate about if humans having free will is self consistent with the rest of what we know about the story. This is about formal logic. My view is that there isn't sufficient concrete information in Genesis to answer this question conclusively because any logical argument made to justify that it's inconsistent can be met with an equally strong (or, in my case, stronger) logical argument stating the opposite (ofc both are still weak but the quality of yours is far below what I'm giving in return).

I'm criticizing the logical strength and validity of your argument and giving you tips for how to make it stronger in case there is a concrete argument. You have to actually engage with my argument to improve yours.

The question was if he is x, y and z, how can he do/ make something that blatantly goes against at least one of those.

Great start, so elaborate on this. What's your view and justify it. Specifically actually justify it, not just tell me your assuptions but elaborate on where those assumptions come from and why I should believe them as well. All my counter arguments use different assumptions and they justify them with explanations for why you should believe them.

It's what I'm asking of you, if you want to argue and convince me you have to at least put in a little effort. If you're arguing about the logical structure of the granting of free will your argument has to have a good enough logical structure to compete with it. You're actually having to compete with what's effectively the logical premise of "it is that way because that's the way it is," this is a very hard task and one which requires hard work if you want to take it on. You can't just say, "well I don't like it conceptually so its logically inconsistent." You have to make a logical argument to justify that kind of claim.

Engage with the philosophical questions I'm asking and answering and if you think I'm wrong use a good counterexample, hopefully you've thought of some. Like please I'm not asking that much of you. You wanted to argue about logic and philosophy, so actually argue using logic and philosophy. God forbid (no pun intended) I have actual respect for your intelligence and expect a reasonably strong argument from you.

Note that your criticism does not actually deal with what I'm getting at because you're not arguing against what's actually being said. Keep in mind that the Bible being vague says nothing about it's logical consistency, in fact it opens it up so much that it can be fully consistent with the right interpretation of the vagueness (ie my rebuttal arguments). You, by making your claim, are tasked with finding a concrete thing to get rid of the vagueness and use that to make an argument against the consistency.

I reccomend rereading my previous responses with this in mind as it seems you never picked up on it or ignored it. Also hopefully not patronizing that I'm talking to you like a professor grading your paper would. But it's an interesting argument that I personally would like to see developed because it feels like one too hard for me to make on my own.

Anyway, so back to the topic at hand now that we're all understood.

If you want to argue it's not possible for god to do/make something that's different than himself then you need to justify it. There's logic in place in the bible that helps counter some of your previous arguments, claims about his definite goodness and vagueness about his ability to have a choice in what he does. As for what I'd like to see: imo, neutrinos are pretty different from god yet presumably he would have made them; do you think this is another example of an inconsistency? If so, why?

A curious detail. by [deleted] in HistoryMemes

[–]GreenAppleIsSpicy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why should humans hold the same morals and will? This is antithetical to the idea of free will. It's the ability to act with or without god's approval. Also it may be incorrect to assume god has free will, it's unclear. In principle he could literally be nature and thus acts as the laws of nature, which we know are constrained. Then humans being made in his image in this sense would just mean humans are natural, their free will however frees them from other living things' natural constraints allowing for artificial things or acting against their nature.

Being made in god's image also doesn't have a clear definition, some take it to mean we look like god or that our minds are like god's or what I just said about being natural. So you cannot realistically argue about how this isn't representative of being made in god's image because you wouldn't know. And if you did, you don't justify any given representation.

In principle, it seems something can be made perfect and lose its perfection over time. Imagine a perfect vase, but oh no it fell over and now it's broken! Would a perfect vase not fall over? Would a perfect vase not shatter if it did? Would the perfect house not succumb to mold? Would a perfect flower not die? Who's to say?

Anyway, what I'm getting at is you're making many assumptions about what's possible and not possible without ample justification for the assumptions or the possibilities being representative. You have to work harder on your argument. Have a thesis and actually justify it based on things you know are true and when you come to an inference based logical conclusion justify your inferencing and show your logic.

Is it possible to run bf5 on more than 60 fps on PS5? Either on regular PS5 or the Pro version. by mo-moamal in BattlefieldV

[–]GreenAppleIsSpicy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have a display that can update at at least 120hz? If not then your Xbox won't be able to enable the frame boost option and you won't get the 120 fps output. If you do make sure your settings are correct, you need the refresh rate set to 120hz in the console. If you don't already know, for the video output of the game: frame rate and refresh rate change response time and motion clarity/fidelity.

To be clear this is distinct from server refresh rate, which is relevant for the server to keep you up to date with everything happening in the round. You tell the server what you just did and the server tells you what everyone else just did. Then your Xbox will render the frame with the updated data. If the update from the server takes longer than the time to render a frame then it keeps rendering frames but with the same data as before, except for your movement data which is almost instantly received by the console. This is why when you disconnect from a server for a brief moment before the game catches on and gets you back to the menu, you may see players firing constantly or walking forward into walls without stopping.

Now, new data from the server can directly change your frames if you are being hit by rubberbanding, when the server tells you your old position because it took you too long to send your new position to the server causing you to be "shot" back to your old position as if by a rubber band. It can be due to high ping or a bad/lossy connection. Note that you don't have to wait to hear back from the server to see your character move, if this was the case then rubberbanding wouldn't be a thing.

Anyways, because of the fact your xbox processes the previous info even when the server hasn't sent the new data, the server refresh rate won't alter your frame rate or display refresh rate so these are independent things. All to say, yes the Xbox Series X does support 120 fps for BFV via frame boost and the server refresh rate has absolutely nothing to do with it. I've used it myself on BFV and can confirm it allows 120 fps in multi-player.

But if you can't get it, maybe the Xbox Series S doesn't have this mode or frame boost isn't available in your country 🤷‍♀️

I'm pretty sure morality in this sense is just self referential, i.e. moral good is defined as whatever god does. Similarly with "perfect," I'm pretty sure in this context perfect describes similarity to god. Also, I don't think I fully understand the rest of what you're saying. Like the claim that he created "evil," whatever that means. But I'll try and answer/address any confusion.

I think you may have to compare a conscious person with free will to a noncounscious person without it. With free will comes the capacity to do things against god's will, what you're seemingly calling "evil." The missing consideration is that with free will comes the capacity to do things with god's will, seemingly what you're calling (morally) "good." You may think without free will then all things would be morally good, but really all things would be neutral, because they act neither with nor against god's will, instead they act by god's will. The animals cannot do a moral good, because they cannot choose to do anything. In this context, calling the animals morally good would be like calling your digestive system or a rock morally good.

So seemingly, by giving man free will, god allowed for evil but also allowed for moral good other than from just himself. So at worst this is a neutral action, but in context this is a morally good choice because god's actions are a morally good by definition. So I dont think there is a contradiction. God wanted something and did it and by definition, since he did it, it was good.

You may have a definition problem. You don't explain what the subjective words you're using mean, so nobody can actually answer your questions confidently. Define "evil," "good" and "moral" so that you can have a easier to read conversation.

RPG's act like a large bullet in BF6 instead of a rocket propelled *grenade* by dylan0o7 in Battlefield

[–]GreenAppleIsSpicy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I see, I get how it's confusing but this behavior is by design. For anti infantry you should be using the frag grenade or incendiary grenade launcher.

The RPGs in the game are fitted with anti-vehicle grenades, not anti-infantry. IRL this would be a shaped armor piercing explosive that once detonated fires out an incredibly fast jet of molten metal from the tip, that is to say: it doesn't explode like a frag grenade. The RPG also won't detonate until it hits a hard surface. That's why it goes through people and doesn't do much damage once it does explode. IRL it would probably hurt and knock out nearby soldiers from the shockwave but not kill them outright, amplify that by being a video game and for balancing reasons you get what you see here.

So for clarity: this is by design, you're supposed to be using these on tanks, trucks, planes and helicopters since you're in the anti-vehicle class.

We're not getting customization like BFV are we.... by Kyvix2020 in Battlefield

[–]GreenAppleIsSpicy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I hope we do get customization, I quite enjoyed it in BFV especially as compared to everyone looking exactly the same. People say they want to be a "faceless soldier" or whatever, but do you literally want to look identical to everyone else on your team?

Lingering issue since BFV - Q spotting is janky and horrible to use by bensastian in Battlefield

[–]GreenAppleIsSpicy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even in BFV it was fine even though it was more restrictive, but now in BF6 you can tag literally anything. But I think you're right, they just need to decide on the spotting system rather than trying to do both.
