Yes, we should go back to monarchs building lavish displays of wealth while normal people live in horrible conditions. It’s horrible how in democratic countries we try to use tax money to maximally benefit citizens. /s

Depending on the context (was the whole paper built on wrong assumptions or was there just some small error) that can still be a good thing?

science@lemmy.world•Mathematical proof debunks the idea that the universe is a computer simulationEnglish
1·12 days agoFrom skimming through the actual paper, it seems that quantum gravity is a theory of physics, more general than general relativity, where spacetime itself is something that’s generated by a formal system of a formal language, a finite or small infinite set of axioms (fundamental physical laws) and rules for the creation of algorithms. What’s seemingly proved in the paper is that there are theorems in this system which cannot be proven, because they are too complex. But theorems in this sense mean states of spacetime or energy or whatever, meaning that ultra-complex states cannot be modelled with this model. And allegedly these kinds of ultra-complex states occur in high-energy situations.
I’m not saying it’s gospel but the article isn’t as absurd as it first seems. Still I doubt this actually proves us not living in asimulation.
Won’t work sadly, the “counter sound” can’t be in phase in multiple locations because of delay and reflections. Headphones can do ANC because the ear is basically a single point so the mic can pick up exactly what you’re about to hear and then compensate.
Using a speaker like that would just create double the leafblower noise.

12·1 month agoSometimes when I’m really tired in the morning I get out of bed like this, it’s the path of leadt resistance.
A practical application is for example in probability theory (or anywhere that deals with measures) such as this question:
If we generate a random real number from 0 to 1, what is the probability that it is rational?
Because we know that the continuum is so much larger in a sense than the set of rationals, we can answer this confidently and say the probability is zero, even though it is theoretically possible for us to get a rational number.
Statistics deals with similar scenarios quite frequently, and without it we wouldn’t have the modern scientific method.
There are infinitely many rational numbers between any two integers (or any two rationals), yet the rationals are still countable, so this reasoning doesn’t hold.
The only simple intuition for the uncountability of the reals I know of is Cantor’s diagonal argument.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•TIL about EMF paints that purportedly block em radiation
2·2 months agoI think aliexpress EMF paint has a good chance of working. All you need is some kind of conductor (usually graphite, that’s literally just pencil lead) mixed with some kind of adhesive. I’m not sure how the adhesive doesn’t stop electricity flow (maybe there’s just so much graphite it doesn’t matter), anyways you can buy graphite spray in any electronics hobby store, a paint is just that with a different consistency.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•TIL about EMF paints that purportedly block em radiation
2·2 months agoIf you make a room’s walls and ceiling/floor electrically conductive (with paint or tin foil or wire mesh), you create a faraday cage. And as long as the gaps are small enough (proportional to the wavelength of the signal you want to block), nothing in those frequencies is getting in or out. A Faraday bag for your phone might be cheaper, though.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What music tempo/BPM is considered fast for you? (examples welcome)
5·2 months agoI think for straight 4/4 (so not felt in half time) 140 and above is definitely fast, considering the vast majority of music falls in the 110-130BPM range.
Basically an exponential function.
