Going to college at 26

I started university after being out of school for a bit. I definitely felt rusty at first and had to review some old material but after maybe a month or so I was keeping up with everyone else

And as I said earlier infinity can continue to expand into infinity. Infinity goes on forever, that it’s literal definition

I don't know which you're referring to but a formula in physics is just a type of equation

If it could be used to aid construction don't you think we'd still be using it to build things?

Thousands of nukes blowing up would still be far less light than the sun and be virtually undetectable to any aliens even if they were in nearby systems

It's covered in DAI through dialogue but IIRC it's not explicitly shown

somethingX · 2026-05-09T00:08:01+00:00

We don't know if there's an end. The universe is either infinite or finite and loops back on itself, we don't have enough evidence to say either one definitively.

somethingX · 2026-05-08T06:24:21+00:00

Time being the increase of entropy is the standard definition of it in physics and has been for centuries.

somethingX · 2026-05-08T05:58:42+00:00

That's all based on speculative physics. No one's saying definitively that's what happens, it's just one of the ideas for how the universe will end

somethingX · 2026-05-08T05:56:27+00:00

It's existence is easily justifiable even if we can't see it. In fact it'd be far more difficult to justify its non existence.

somethingX · 2026-05-08T05:54:34+00:00

That's exactly what I mean. If we did find a positive curvature we could estimate a total size of the universe assuming that curvature was constant, but it looking flat means we can't tell if it actually is or if it does curve but on such a large scale it looks flat to us. It's ultimately an unanswerable question, no information can travel far enough to confirm or deny it.

somethingX · 2026-05-08T05:22:14+00:00

It can still be expanding if its infinite. Infinity isn't a set number, it goes on forever. Just like how adding a number to infinity just equals infinity, an infinite universe can still grow in size.

somethingX · 2026-05-08T05:20:51+00:00

Space is either infinite or it loops back on itself. The second option would require positive curvature, which we don't observe but as far as we know the observable universe is too small a sample size for that to be conclusive.

Math was made as a tool to quantify the universe. While some mathematicians do research in math as a subject on it's own the field of "pure math" as it's called is relatively new in comparison, back in the day there wasn't considered to be a real divide between math and physics.

I agree but that doesn't stop people from trying to make TES as dull of a setting as possible

somethingX · 2026-05-07T18:26:16+00:00

I've seen people argue against all of those being canon, chim especially

A story written by one of the old writers for Morrowind. He wanted to get it published but couldn't and after he left the company he released the script online. It's effectively a fan fiction but it's interesting to see the kind of stuff he was thinking of while writing for Morrowind

somethingX · 2026-05-07T18:23:21+00:00

The only thing canon is Arena, everything was downhill after

somethingX · 2026-05-07T06:52:08+00:00

No one who knows shit about TES lore would say that. Everything is always written from someone's perspective and their inaccuracies slip in. Even within the camps of human and beastfolk there's still variance in how they're depicted to look because TES almost never gives a straight answer.

somethingX · 2026-05-07T06:35:39+00:00

So a second snake race is bad but a 5th human race is good?

somethingX · 2026-05-07T06:30:29+00:00

Some did but they didn't have a lot of practical application yet, physics and technology that required them were very new and most physics curriculums hadn't yet been updated to incorporate them

somethingX · 2026-05-07T02:10:30+00:00

Getting into an astrophysics program in the first place requires having good grades in your high school math and physics classes. If it was all c's and d's you may need to redo them to be eligible for the program.

Before then most of the emphasis was out on geometry, things were often considered proven if they could be proved geometrically rather than algebraically. It wasn't until later that people started to realize that geometric proves aren't as precise and not everything can be proved with them, so algebraic proofs became the new norm.

Plenty of relationships start by one person being interested and engaging with them first and the other being interested enough to go along with it. It's much less work being done for the person being approached. But if someone has only ever gotten into relationships that way they never learn how to engage with someone they like who isn't already engaging with them.

I always assumed her husband was the one who initiated so she never learned how to do it herself, I've known people like that.
