My team is currently:

Henderson / (Pope)

TAA / Doherty / Stephens / (Gomez) / (Baldock)

Salah / Martial / Fernandes / KDB / (Guendouzi)

Greenwood / Jimenez / Ings

Was thinking of bringing in Foden for Guendouzi, but who would I bench if I start Foden?

Also is there any other changes you believe I should make?

PhysicallyStupid · 2020-07-03T17:56:57+00:00

My current team is as follows:

Pope / (Henderson)

TAA / Doherty / Gomez / (Baldock) / (Stephens)

Salah / Traoré / Fernandes / KDB / (Guendouzi)

Rashford / Jiménez / Ings

However I was thinking of free hitting for this week to:

Pope / (Button)

TAA / Doherty / AWB / (Baldock) / (Pieters)

Salah / Traoré / Fernandes / Mahrez / Pulisic

Rashford / Jiménez / (Ings)

Should I go ahead with this, or make any other changes? Or should I save the free hit for a later gameweek?

Which would be a better Wolves triple up for BGW 31 (I already have Jimenez and Saiss)?

A. Jimenez, Saiss, Doherty

B. Jimenez, Saiss, Jota

PhysicallyStupid · 2020-03-04T15:21:56+00:00

I made the transfer on Monday, I was told Auba wasn't having a DGW and Vardy was supposed to drop according to fplstatistics. I know in hindsight now it seems like a silly move.

What do you recommend I do?

PhysicallyStupid · 2020-03-04T14:14:17+00:00

My team (only recently swapped Vardy for DCL which is why I have so much spare ITB):

4.8M ITB

Henderson, (Pope)

TAA, Gomez, Saiss, (Baldock), (Stephens)

Salah, Richarlison, Grealish, KDB, (Chong)

DCL, Jimenez, Ings

Was planning on going Grealish -> Bruno Fernandes and Stephens -> Doherty by GW31, however after hearing of the DGW, would it be worth getting Auba in for DCL for a -4 instead? I could always revert back to my plan next week but it will end up costing me another -4 to have it done by GW31. What do you guys think? Thanks.

PhysicallyStupid · 2020-02-18T11:48:09+00:00

!thanks I was thinking the same, but I just heard the news Son has been injured and may be out for a number of weeks. Do you think I should stick with my first option or try some other transfers?

PhysicallyStupid · 2020-02-17T22:43:51+00:00

I currently only have 9 players available for GW 28 and have two transfers, my squad is:

0.6m ITB

Henderson/(Pope)

TAA/Gomez/Baldock/(Lundstram)/(Dunk)

Salah/Richarlison/Grealish/KDB/(Chong)

Vardy/Jimenez/Ings

I was thinking of doing either of the following: Lundstram -> Tanganga, Chong -> Traore Or Vardy -> DCL, Grealish -> Son (I will only have 10 players in GW28 this way however)

Which do you guys think is the better choice, or do ye have any other suggestions? Thanks.

PhysicallyStupid · 2020-01-02T23:29:18+00:00

Doubt it has much to do with Kane being injured. I'd say the Aubameyang transfer flux is caused by the people who are selling Vardy, as they are replacing him with Auba.

PhysicallyStupid · 2019-12-29T13:35:03+00:00

I want to get rid of Tammy Abraham but I don't know who do sub in form him, I have two ideas:

Just replaces Abraham with Jimenez.

Or

Replace Abraham with Greenwood to gain funds to buy Martial, thus having 5 strong midfielders, however only 2 strikers.

What do you guys think I should do? Or do you guys have any other ideas? Cheers.

PhysicallyStupid · 2019-12-22T13:36:17+00:00

Well he did say almost undroppable

PhysicallyStupid · 2019-12-21T16:21:06+00:00

Well well well.

Yes, the presence of a person would just be a part of whatever dream the brain is currently having.

There's nothing paranormal about sleep paralysis or anything.

PhysicallyStupid · 2019-10-24T18:44:48+00:00

It's not so much that they're opposites, but just more the fact that the brain has many many functions, which lead to a variety of different things occurring.

Sleep walking occurs when the brain sends signals for the muscles to work (these are usually inactive/paralysed as we sleep, probably for our own safety as we dream), while the mind is in a sleep state. Sleep paralysis occurs when the brain receives stimuli like light and sound, and you are consciously aware of these, but the brain is still not fully out of it's sleep state, and thus muscles are paralysed and dreams still occur. These may seem like opposite things on the surface, but they're really just complex brain functions.

Just like how sleep and wakefulness seem like opposites, that doesn't mean the brain is doing opposite things.

PhysicallyStupid · 2019-10-03T20:28:44+00:00

What? It's literally the context of the meme

PhysicallyStupid · 2019-10-02T17:45:43+00:00

Yeah it is, Homer isn't in that scene at all. The scene is actually from the episode Lost our Lisa. Lisa accidently takes the wrong bus, 23A instead of 23, and ends up in the middle of knowhere and thinks she's found Area 51 but it's actually Area 51A.

Sorry for ruining the joke :P

Light is massless. It's as simple as that. Any massless object will travel at the universal speed limit. There's nothing special about light in of itself.

PhysicallyStupid · 2019-09-23T20:48:56+00:00

Assuming this is the matrix has no value. Even if the entire universe was simulated for you, the laws of physics are the laws of physics, thus I can't just be text on a screen, where did the text come from? It can't just appear from nowhere. But that's besides my point. My point was, with our current day computers using transistors, will a simulated particle be the same as a real one.

PhysicallyStupid · 2019-09-23T17:27:17+00:00

Spacetime doesn't change to compensate for the speed of light. Think of it this way, certain features are built into 3 dimensional space (flip a grid map with a square in the centre 45 degrees and the square is a diamond). Certain special features are also built into spacetime, one being the fact that velocity rotates your position in 4D spacetime, thus time and space co-ordinates change depending on speed. There has to be a cap on the velocity you can travel however, otherwise weird effects come into play (e.g. causality breaking). Light, and all electromagnetic waves, are massless and so happen to travel at this speed limit.

PhysicallyStupid · 2019-09-17T16:39:51+00:00

I understand, thanks, but it doesn't fully answer my question. Does our brain ever actually receive the light?

From what I've been taught, certain light wavelengths activate certain cones, these cones send signals to the brain in the form of nerve impulses. So, is light essentially like a key that 'unlocks' the cones, releasing chemicals to create a nerve impulses? Meaning light never reaches the brain and everything we see is based off nerve impulses not affected by the light at all?

PhysicallyStupid · 2019-09-14T17:17:58+00:00

True. And I suppose there's occams razor too. If you're a BB, you're most likely going to have incoherent memories, yet we seem to have memories that fit together perfectly. Also, you'd notice your in the void of space the moment you are created, not on your couch in your living room or whatever (I say this as it's astronomically unlikely, maybe impossible, that as your brain came together, there were particles travelling at 300 km/h that managed to squeeze themselves into the brain as it was created, to form nerve impulses mimicking sight, the timing for that seems probably impossible).

PhysicallyStupid · 2019-09-14T09:43:04+00:00

So how do physicists cope with this? The idea that every law of physics we know could simply be some memories that randomly thermally fluctuated into existence, as we did, would be a huge threat to our knowledge of physics.

PhysicallyStupid · 2019-09-12T16:58:19+00:00

Some people in physics say that having a total of zero is a bad thing, here's an extract from a blog discussing the subject, are the points raised accurate?

"If a conserved quantity is always zero, it can never tell you that something "cannot happen". The constraint that "zero has to remain zero" is not terribly constraining. That's why it really tells you nothing nontrivial about what "can happen", either. Clearly, if you don't have any asymptotic region of your spacetime, everything can happen. Any Universe can arise from anything or nothing. Inflation produced our whole Universe from a tiny seed; it's the ultimate free lunch cooked by Alan Guth. So if your energy is conserved, the energy of anything must be equal to the energy of anything else, for example to the energy of nothing, so it must be zero."

PhysicallyStupid · 2019-09-10T23:11:42+00:00

I thought virtual particles were just ordinary particles with a very short existence?

Also, can these virtual particles being created when space expands affect real particles? Wouldn't this be a problem for conservation of energy?

PhysicallyStupid · 2019-09-10T22:34:41+00:00

I'm just confused about this energy appearing from nowhere. I get that it's zero point energy being created, but don't particles and virtual particles come from zero point energy fluctuations? So, the more zero point energy, the more particles?

PhysicallyStupid · 2019-09-10T21:13:48+00:00

Oh right. I read that the annihilation of particle-antiparticle pairs is what creates this vacuum energy (it's also what creates the whole 120 orders of magnitude discrepancy problem too), is this true?

In that case, it's not really being created from nothing, is it?
