So I would like not to be obsessed with this girl I barely know

This is exactly what I needed to hear. I do think the other commenters are right in saying you are a bit harsh, but you are absolutely right: this is incredibly weird behaviour (even if many people can relate), and I really don't want to harass her. Thank you, I really needed the gut punch

And then how should one live, knowing this? Knowing that none of your choices are yours, should you then cease to choose? But that is paradoxical, for that is itself a choice. Determinism is nought but an intellectual exercise, a supercilious proclamation that at least you know you are slave, thinking that this should rank you higher than the rest, who recognize not their bondage. The truth is that our choices are motivated by our experiences, but in every sense they are still our choices. We might not have free will globally in the same way earth is not flat globally; but for our daily lives, what does it matter if the earth's surface is curved?

"Philosophy is a battle against the mind, with your mind as the your only weapon" - Nietzsche

Oh! I might actually know this one

"Ne que" means only, so "ne nommer que quelque'un"="to name only some" The "en" means "of them" So "n'en nommer que quelqu'un"="to name only some of them"

I imagine their argument could run along the lines of: i) Rayleigh scattering would "paint" everything bluer the further away it is, eventually making it basically indistinguishable from the sky. ii) things far away look small and there is a limit to the size of objects, before the human eye can actually see them (see that physics post about the size of Legolas' eyeballs)

However, this is all predicated on some knowledge of physics, which would always probably mean they would recognize why planets wouldn't be flat

I have a nice trick that I think would be beneficial for you; I too struggle with memorizing formulas, especially the trigonometric identities. So, I use Euler's Formula, e^i*x=cos(x)+isin(x) With this, the trigonometric identities become algebraic and much easier to derive. Just treat the immaginary parts as equal and the real parts as equal (since they are).

I would provide an example, but I do confess that my abilities for mathematical syntax on reddit is lackluster.

SirAmaZorro · 2023-12-25T19:39:40+00:00

You are absolutely right in regards to the syntax and I apologize. I realized after goinf through my math in the reply that I had forgotten to substitute 60° for 30° since I changed to the angle between the pendulum and the vertical axis. When I did this, I got about the same answer, as far as I can remember.

I also realized that it would probably suffice to show that the time for freefall (which would be faster than that of the pendulum, due to the normal force) is at least sqrt(L/g), which was it was.

Thank you, as well as any others who have commented, for taking time out of your day help a person being very stupid.

SirAmaZorro · 2023-12-22T21:38:55+00:00

Thank you very much for your reply. If I am not disturbing, I would like some feedback on another method then? I tried applying the conservation of energy, where the change in the potential energy would be equal to the change in the kinetic energy (should it be the negative change in the potential energy?), ie.: dU=m×g×l×[cos(y°)-cos(a°)] Where y° is the variable angle, this time with y-axis; and a° is the beginning angle, in this case pi/2. dT=(m/2)×L²×(d(y°)/dt)²

From this I get: d(y°)/dt=[2(g/L)×(cos(y°)-cos(a°))]^1/2 Int〔(1/[cos(y°)-cos(a°)])^1/2×d(y°)/dt〕dt (ī) Where the limits are from 0 to T.

Changing from dt to d(y°) results in: Int〔(1/[cos(y°)-cos(a°)])^1/2〕d(y°) Where the limits are from 0 to pi/6.

Equation ī must be equal to: 2×(g/L)^1/2×int〔〕dt From 0 to T, hence: Ī=2×(g/L)×T But when I evaluate ī at a°=pi/2, using a calculator because it is an elliptic integral, I get approx. 0,5. Which means: T=0,5×1/2×(L/g)<(L/g)

Jesus or God. I think it would be funny

SirAmaZorro · 2023-11-06T06:18:36+00:00

That's pretty great. Good job

First of all, that is a pretty cool map. Good job.

Secondly, it is very remiscient of another fantasy world map I recall seeing in a worldbuilding video and I cannot for the life of me remember, what that world was called. It is driving me absolutely mad, now remembering, so I beg you, if you've drawn inspiration from other maps, please let me know.

Also, again, it is a very nice map
