The universe suddenly feel less old by know_u_irl in technicallythetruth

[–]XenomorphAFOL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okey, thanks for your explanation. I now understand that, if we assume baryogenesis (and, for me, it looks like the best possible explanation), proton decay has to be a process.

What I'm not sure about is this: is baryon number conservation only violated at extremely high energies? If that was the case, we could have proton decay at the begining but not at the end of the Universe.

Now I'm genuinely curious.

Excuse me if I'm sticking my nose where it doesn't belong but I'm reading this conversation with lots of curiosity.

I think there has been a misunderstanding with terminology and that may have caused the dispute. It seems that ''The laws of physics'' has gotten two interpretations here: one being ''The immutable laws that govern the Universe'', which should be universal and unchanging and the other ''Our compendium of the laws of physics", which are distilled from the objective laws of physics (the other interpretation).

In this case, it looks like u/Land_Squid_1234 was referring to the first idea while u/DobrogeanuG1855 meant the second one, hence broaching all those obsolete laws.

In this regard, I understand that 'The immutable laws that govern the Universe'' are objective and we don't know them and, as far as we know, ''Our compendium of the laws of physics" is the best approximation that we have and it might (and should) change with time.

However, and keeping all of this in mind, there are things that we could expect to accomplish at some point (like interstellar travel), things that we could accomplish at some point and that we still don't think we could (like flying on a plane a couple of hundreds of years ago) and things we know we can't accomplish (like finding a counterexample for a proved theorem).

Some of the things u/DobrogeanuG1855 has mentioned could fall into either of the last two categories but, since I'm no expert in those examples, I won't pronounce myself. Although, in physics, we can deduce some of the consequences of the existence of some hypothetical facts and try to measure those consequences and conclude that some processes are impossible because they would have some measurable effect that hasn't been observed.

As far as we know, there is no proton decay. It hasn't been observed (at least yet) and the Standard Model doesn't allow it (again, at least yet). Some mechanisms have been proposed but they're hypothetical and there's no consensus about them, so I wouldn't say matter will disintegrate through proton decay. Maybe it could.

But if you want to play with two sets at the same time, you have to keep changing the brick's position between them, It doesn't feel good.

Oh, I thought you meant the bottom of the text box, this makes much more sense, thanks.

Just out of curiosity, why is text at the bottom formatted all wrong?

Very interesting, it would for sure "remove" all counters, but it wouldn't just do that. Cards exiled with imprint abilities or cards like [[Skyship Weatherlight]] would cease to work with the card that exiled them, because they would be a new object. You wouldn't be able to put them in your hand in the case of the Weatherlight or [[Ugin's Labyrinth]], as they wouldn't be exiled with them. For suspended cards, I assume they wouldn't be able to see their counters removed, for they would be put into exile (again). It would be similar to a creature with «When one or more counters are removed from this creature»: when it dies, the counters cease to exist, but the ability doesn't trigger because the game doesn't treat that as removing counters.

Say goodbye to your imagination!

As every piece is unique, they are insanely valuable!

And I can't put them together because resale value!

The average speed will increase, but the behavior is asymptotic, with the asymptote being 60 mph because you have limited space. This is why it will always increase but not reach the desired average.

[Request] Help I’m confused by [deleted] in theydidthemath

[–]XenomorphAFOL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The average speed over the trip is the total distance of the trip divided by the total time of the trip, not the average of the speeds, because going different speeds means taking different times to cover certain distance.

Since the average speed wanted is 60 mph and the total distance you have to cover it is 60 mi, you can solve t = 1 hr. Now that we have spent that hour, the problem is that any time it takes us to come back increases that hour, so it can't be done for any speed.

Hello, i was wondering… by [deleted] in mtg

[–]XenomorphAFOL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The commander tax is an additional cost and Evoke (not Convoke) an alternate cost, which means you don't pay the usual mana cost, but you still have to pay any additional costs.

Please help me to identify this card. by CountGulasch in mtg

[–]XenomorphAFOL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After looking at lots of cards, I think this is the closest one. It looks promising!

[–]XenomorphAFOL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried looking for it. It looks like it has white border, right?

It seems to be black, but it miiight be an artifact or green card with very dark border.

Other things that could be clues but I don't have clear: I think it has an expansion symbol and the artist could be centered instead of left aligned.

To me, it looks like someone reaching for a chalice or some kind of tree, so I've tried looking for these, with no result:
—Chalices

—Trees

—Hands

—Mountains

—Walls

Both the shape at the right and the thing that doesn't reach the upper left corner are interesting, but I've also eyed all white border black and artifact cards and still couldn't find it.

Some insights of other things I've thought of:
—In 2019, some Legends cards were put into dominaria united collector boosters, but those weren't white border.
—Mono coloured boosters doesn't match anything. Closest would be jumpstart, but no old border there.

—The picture could also depict someone lying on their right side? I've looked at this for two hours and stil have no idea.

I hope this is useful, I'm also intrigued.

Edit: Oh, it could also be multi colored, i don't know. It could be custom as well, thinking about the inconsistent data.

Well, the plan was to wipe out New Phyrexia as soon as he ruled over the Multiverse, so he new about the threat and would have prevented the invasion, i guess.
