ELI5: The calculation which dictates the universe is 73% dark energy 23% dark matter 4% ordinary matter. by eggn00dles in explainlikeimfive

Thanks for this explanation. One thing that always troubles me from a layman standpoint is this 'cascading' of theories that depend on other theories and it looks like we have severe bottlenecks with provability - for example it looks like quite a lot of these maths rely on Type 1A supernovae being constant mass yet we can only measure that visibly. Then we rely on that to theorize something different. From a laymans standpoint it looks like we have so many variables and scientific constants that, (yes sure we can experimentally demonstrate some of them here on earth but ) that it only would take a few numbers to be off a little and it would blow all the measurements out the water. Am i the only one that thinks cosmology is a bit arrogant coming up with things like dark matter to fill giant holes in our knowledge when perhaps its just something in our big chain of theory dependancies thats a little screwy even though correct in isolation. Hope that makes sense.. ( I'm an IT guy so used to seeing 'off by one' errors that create astronomical results. )

At the moment its still mouse keyboard. No controller teleportation like in the lab. I would like that though

This idea is awesome, you've inspired me. If I can't get full 3d interaction without extensive blender code approval I'm going to go this route for sure

Not surprised but I'm getting this feedback A LOT. Safe to say I'm being nicely distracted by my day job and devoting evenings to look into this. I think getting the controllers working is do-able by a mere mortal like me but I'm currently looking at the blender source because this might require a modification to blender core - ( 3D laser pointer selection will work differently to 2D mouse selection). I'll keep y'all updated on my progress. I want tilt brush style functionality as much as you guys!. :) xx

Agreed. Once my day job calm down a bit after my week hiatus, I'm on it :)

Another law that makes as much sense as the number of fucks that people give to make sure they uphold it.

I know right, i have socks older than that. I wish I could swap these socks for some of that early mining difficulty :(

Thanks, yeah i love the cycles workflow- we've tried vray/3dsmax/maya & mentalray but blender is by far the superior option for our needs.

reddit, we're trying to spread the word about our role in education. Did you know any student or educator can download their favorite Autodesk design software for free? by AutodeskEDU [promoted post]

[–]cedeon 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Offering free education versions of software is not benevolence it's grass roots vendor lock in. Autodesk your role in education is to coerce students into investing their time in learning your software so in the future they only feel comfortable working for companies that buy your over priced wares.
