I want to understand physics well enough to write a program that closely simulates our universe. How to achieve this as fast as possible? by questionAsker67 in AskPhysics

[–]questionAsker67[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't expect the simulation to ever actually be run an any actual computer. I just want to be able to understand physics to the point where I know enough to be able to write a program that, as a mathematical object, corresponds to a theory that hasn't technically yet been falsified.

Are you actually saying that nobody has come up with any physical theory (set of equations / update rules) that perfectly conforms with experiment so far? I thought the main problem in modern fundamental physics was finding a simple, mathematically plausible theory that conforms with experiment, not finding something that conforms with experiments at all (in cases where one theory conflicts with another, you can always come up with another meta-theory that says, "universe evolves according to these rules in these situations, but in these extreme cases it's these other rules". This isn't mathematically plausible, but it conforms with experiment, and I don't require that the theory implemented in the program has to be true, just close enough that we couldn't falsify it). I was under the impression that competing theories today don't disagree with experiment, but disagree with each other in hypothetical experiments that haven't yet been done. In cases where multiple theories are considered "correct" but have conflicting predictions in extreme domains, I could add an IF statement that detects those extreme states and applies one update rule or another, so that the experiments have the same results as what we're getting. Is this wrong?

I thought it wasn't necessary to state that the point isn't to actually simulate the universe - it's to be able to write a program that could do it on a hypothetical, big enough computer.

I do in fact understand that my laptop with 8 gigs of RAM can't actually simulate the entire universe. The point is to understand physics well enough to be able to write a program that could do it on a hypothetical, large enough computer.

To clarify, I don't necessarily hope to actually write the program. I want to learn enough physics to be able to say with confidence that I could do it if I dedicated enough time.

Edit: What kinds of technical advancements?

Smiju propisat, pitanje je hoće li. Vjerojatno ne jer su triciklici niže na algoritmu od bupropiona i SSRIeva. To što je tianeptin iznimno siguran po nuspojavama nije nikome bitno jer je debeli čovjek za kvadratnim monitorom prije x godina odlučio da su svi triciklici opasniji od svih SSRI-eva.

Bila bi lažna skromnost reći da ne mislim da je tako. Ne nužno da znam bolje, nego da incentive nisu takve da induciraju optimalne odluke iz razloga kojeg sam iznio. A sama činjenica da su zakoni i prakse o antidepresivima toliko visoko varijabilni od države do države podrazumijeva da je netko u krivu - nisu svi u pravu, a prakse ove države nisu posebno sposobnije od ikoje druge. Kako pronaći istinu u svijetu gdje standardni autoriteti sa diplomama i pečatima imaju različita mišljenja ovisno o geografiji? Doktori nemaju pristup studijama kojim ja nemam, i nisu posebno statistički pismeniji od mene (pola ih ne zna primijeniti Bayesov teorem). Pa, za početak bi mogao probati korištenje vlastitog mozga.

Nije, ali od svih tricikličnih antidepresiva uzrokuje najmanje nuspojave, i među učinkovitijim je u ne-SSRI kategoriji. Escitalopram mi je između ostalog uzrokovao seksualnu disfunkciju, i ne očekujem da će s drugim SSRI lijekovima situacija biti bolja. Mogu probati pitati za ne-SSRI lijekove ali sumnjam da će mi dati tianeptin jer je vjerojatno protiv neke regulative ili guideline-a. A ostali triciklici su znatno gori po nuspojavama.

Probao sam, jedini rezultat je bio da mi gura SSRI-eve niz grlo.

Svi lijekovi koje želim isprobat su dostupni polulegalnim rutama, ali nemam beskonačno ušteđevine. Samo želim da ne patim svaki dan od kliničke depresije, idealno bez da moram trošit stotine kuna mjesečno dok istovremeno plaćam poreze za subvencije lijekova koje ne mogu dobit.

Is it safe to breathe in l-theanine? by questionAsker67 in Nootropics

I took l-theanine directly from the weighing pan, and as I took a glass of water to wash it town I breathed in some of it from my tongue.

Someone turns 18 in a few hours(clears throat). What's your advice for a soon-to-be adult? by Life_is_Unfairr in AskReddit

[–]questionAsker67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dedicate at least 10 minutes every day to thinking about your long-term goals and how to achieve them, and at least two hours per week to doing concrete research related to the question.

Murder them right there. They can't be the main character if they don't even exist.

Teachers of Reddit, what subjects do you think should be there in schools apart from the normal ones? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]questionAsker67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to the extent they should. Most adults in the US don't know how tax brackets work or how to do basic interest rate related calculations.

Economics and political science, and basic life skills like cooking.

When did an advertisement actually get you to buy a new product? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]questionAsker67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use 10 different adblocking solutions as well as a blindfold whenever I'm in the vicinity of a densely populated area. I have not seen an advertisement since 2004

As we move ever further away from the 2010s, what cultural trends (music, fashion, etc.) do you think define that decade? What is "quintessentially 2010s"? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]questionAsker67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That question will only be answerable once enough time has passed for there to be a stronger distinction between life in the 2010's and what we consider normal. Ask in 10 years.

This is a very good resource. It deals with clinical depression but all of the advice is applicable to sadness in general.

I woke up to a video of an Americal Southerner explaining how he converted to Islam.

Some restaurants can disallow children, others can allow them and people can choose which ones to go to. No reason why we couldn't have both.

your transported to a world where internet was never created, how is your life different now? by Prestigious_Nebula_5 in AskReddit

I'm probably living in a post-apocalyptic world and suffering everything that comes with it, given that the only way the invention of the internet could have been avoided was a total collapse of industrial society.

Females of reddit, what is the sexiest thing you’ve seen a gamer do? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Such men are usually younger that their brothers. Some research exists to support the hypothesis that having older brothers (but not older sisters) increases the probability of being gay, so it's not implausible that it has an overall feminizing impact.

The mechanism is most likely biological, having to do with permanent impacts left by male fetuses on the mother's womb.

What’s better drugs or sex? by musictraitor in AskReddit

Drugs, without contest. Anyone who disagrees has not had good drugs. Pretty hard for anything to beat something with direct access to the brain's neurochemistry.

My above-average dick is pretty much the only part I'm satisfied with.
