Posts from Academy of Sciences of Heroesland Auto-translated

Statistics show that most people want to study (or pretend to study), fewer people want revolutions, there are very few monarchists, and there is only one cleric. Perhaps the Academy should seize the world and take the reins of power into its own hands?

The Church of Saint Fludd loves all its children equally – both the smart and the foolish, the white and the red.

I propose we start addressing the following scientific question: "How many dimensions are there in the Universe?"
I suggest the number 4. What do you think, colleagues?

I lean towards a dynamic system for constructing the universe, meaning an infinite number of "these" dimensions, but as a basis, we can take the first 12 – metric values, the speed of movement of the system, its acceleration, and the acceleration of acceleration. We cannot consider the world as a static object because there is no starting point, and we are constantly moving in space. An explanation for this theory could be the redshift effect – meaning the universe is currently expanding. Based on this, we can imagine the universe as an alternation of two states: 1 and 0, infinity and a dimensionless point.

Whew, I barely made it with my metro pass! :)
Please add me to the list of esteemed members of the Academy!

Sign me up too, I'd like to learn something new.

Astral? :)

Exactly, esteemed

Based on this, one can imagine the universe as an alternation of two states: 1 and 0, infinity and a dimensionless point.

1 is not yet infinity, and a dimensionless point is far from 0.

A dimensionless point is more like zero than anything else.
Although, these are rather absurd ideas.

Vish changed his avatar O_O, but I liked the previous one.
And isn't this one from the album art of the first album of the band Dom Vetrov?

It’s a binary numeral system.

I don't think the entire universe consists only of points and infinities.

Binary numeral system, right?

Where did you study, colleague? The binary numeral system has absolutely nothing to do with it; the author of the post clearly meant predicate logic. But even in that case, his conclusion is inappropriate, since it is impossible to represent dimensionless quantities, which are infinity and infinitesimals, as finite numbers.

The universe cannot consist of points and infinities because it is both a point and infinity at the same time. You are thinking too simplistically, colleague.

I understand that two states were mentioned. It makes sense that they can be represented by numbers.

If we have 0 and 1, and these are two diametrically opposed states, then to logically represent them, we switch to the language of predicate logic. That is, 1 is truth, 0 is falsehood, and a predicate (function) that takes different values depending on the argument. And the binary numeral system is simply a system built on the positional principle of writing numbers with a base of 2 and has nothing to do with the language of logic.

The idea was that 1 represents the state of maximum expansion, striving towards infinity, while 0 represents the state of maximum compression. The last abrupt transition from 0 to 1 occurred approximately 14 billion years ago and is known as the "Big Bang."

1 is not infinity yet; it's a dimensionless point, which is far from 0.

In that case, colleague, name the smallest and largest existing numbers.
However, I cannot assert anything either; within this theory, the singular state has not yet been described, and I don't think it ever will be. We are currently discussing rather vague concepts.

Lordesat, I'm just saying that's not what I think. Also, I'm not your colleague :3

Tambovsky Volk is your colleague.
