  • I woke up at 4AM with this playing two hours in... Interesting situation...
  • @Eurotool
    I wake up to these guys every other day. Not a single clue what they're talking about, but it's great. The younger guy sounds exactly like my former (very sweet) supervisor.

    Accidentally left youtube on autoplay when falling asleep and this played. Now I dream in 24 dimensions.
  • @a-10warthog40
    I was just having this on for white noise at 2 am but now im invested
  • No way...I wake up to find this playing in my laptop on sleep mode. Bruh. How. Autoplay's apparently on? And that too in a new tab 💀
  • Meta-mathematics is a fascinating field that delves into the nature and structure of mathematics itself, exploring concepts beyond the formulas and theorems. One intriguing aspect is Gödel's Incompleteness Theorems, proposed by mathematician Kurt Gödel in the 20th century. These theorems revolutionized the understanding of mathematical systems by demonstrating their inherent limitations. Specifically, they showed that within any formal mathematical system that is consistent (does not contain contradictions) and powerful enough to represent arithmetic, there are true statements that cannot be proven within the system. This implies that mathematics is forever incomplete, revealing an inherent boundary to what can be proved using formal rules and axioms. Gödel's work significantly impacted not only mathematics but also philosophy and computer science, reshaping our perception of the certainty and boundaries of logical systems.

    Haha, just reading down the comments.. Yup.. I woke up to this too.. Wolfram is a great way to wake up. Space and the Universe.. Awesome. :)
  • woke up with this on and ive never been more confused by the contents of a youtube video

    Could dark energy be a property of refreshing quantum states? Like as a photon goes though space it creates more refresh nodes. Which make more nodes in the system. Making more space photons need to pass through.

    How far have you progressed?

    This is all very amazing. Nevertheless, just a look through “glasses” at what we are: life. In fact, everything is chosen, everything is intended, even if the one intending it does not always have any idea of ​​what it is doing as a whole. Humanity is a good example of this: there are adults, adolescents, children, toddlers, babies, fetuses, fertilized eggs, eggs, sperm, cells. All intelligences of different logics different matureness on board of a biological life ship. And then it continues with families, extended families, etc. Civil nations... Systems and their realities of life. Life is also the power that lies in the so-called vacuum energy and the vacuum energy itself. Time is just a measure of the speed of a system. Life shapes itself, the "atom" of life is action, the will is the choice of the path, thinking is the planning of life, the fulfillment of the plan is the following of the chosen path. Nevertheless, through our insight, through our growing up, through our responsibility, we can change our opinions and choose new paths. The deterministic view of the whole and thus also deterministic plans and ideas are just one of many paths to growing up. And of course when I look through these "glasses" I need to grow up enough to realize: All is well and good, but still only one possibility of many.

    No mathematical formula will solve my stick puzzle. Stick stretched to within 1 inch of the moon's surface being pushed from the earth end at 1 inch per second, will it touch the moon's surface before a laser beam shot from earth?
