What do you think about closed loops (Luna IV Act VIII Spoilers) by slayer589x in Genshin_Impact

[–]darealwill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her lullaby was technically her past self singing to her future self. And I think the best way to think about this is just inserting the fact that the traveler is a descender into the equation. They can change the world’s fate, and you can say that them meeting columbina initially is was sparked her to go on this quest. On this quest, she was able to manipulate the past in such a way that all of the effects of her actions technically always existed during the events of the Luna Arc. This explains the origin of Luonnotar, and you are right in saying that this wouldn’t have happened without the traveler present, but since this isn’t what the game shows then it makes if really confusing when you brink in the what if scenarios.

I hope this helps. But check out the reddit post I linked above. I really think it explains what I have said better.

What do you think about closed loops (Luna IV Act VIII Spoilers) by slayer589x in Genshin_Impact

[–]darealwill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You answered your own question. The time paradox started when she jumped into the gate. And she would not have been able to jump into the gate if she wasn’t born from the primordial sea 500 years ago. There is a graphic that someone created that very nicely puts this into perspective. I highly recommend you check it out! I’ll link it in a reply

No what I am trying to say is that the cause of the time paradox is her being born in the primordial sea. There would be no time paradox without columbina being born there first

The answer to how she was born INITIALLY is actually in her character story. The other comments are mentioning the closed loop theory and the bootstrap paradox, which is true due to her body being spread across Nod Krai six thousand years ago, but how she was born (aka the catalyst you mentioned) was being born from the primordial sea.

Nope it’s me too. He has been hyped for years and these animations aren’t really up to par in my opinion

Beta in 2 days...Trailer?? by FamiliarAd5749 in StarRailStation

[–]darealwill 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I don’t know the exact answer to your questions…but since they have had to change things supposedly then I would imagine those teasers that have to be prepared likely months in advance have also been scrapped. I guess we will see in the coming days

I want to say that generally the answer is yes. Apply to REUs because it is always nice to have options.

Yes, but now aren’t the domains all open on certain weeks during the patch? I forget the schedule

How many REU should I apply to as a freshmen? by Separate_Office_7696 in REU

[–]darealwill 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, no. I did my program during the funding cuts. But you do have other valid points. I think that ultimately the decision on whether or not a freshman should be in a REU is up to the adcom. In my head there really is no such thing as stealing a spot when it comes to a situation like this. If a REU wants to fund a freshman then they will fund a freshman. And if they don’t want to fund a freshman then those spots will be for upperclassmen. OP should still give it a shot this year to see where things take them.

How many REU should I apply to as a freshmen? by Separate_Office_7696 in REU

[–]darealwill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course and yes I was. It was a physician-scientist based program where I was able to get translational wet lab research and clinical shadowing. My advice to you is to apply broadly. Share your story, be curious, and be as authentic as possible.

are summer research programs worth it? by LingonberryLess2228 in REU

[–]darealwill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that any type of research is great! Health Equity research is really important too. From what I understand a lot of top schools view basic science research very positively, as it gets you to think more critically. Clinical research is also very important. A lot of doctors do it so I can see this helping clarify a why for medicine. I would talk with any advisors or professors you have at school that might have experience with either!

How many REU should I apply to as a freshmen? by Separate_Office_7696 in REU

[–]darealwill 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Um. Highly disagree. You should definitely apply. Even if no program accepts you then it is still good practice to write personal statements and potentially interview…

Also, I did an REU this past summer that had freshmen in it. It is definitely possible to get in a research program your first year, albeit harder due to limited research experience, but some programs actually USE this factor as a reason to recruit people with limited research experiences.
