i woke up to this and i hope i learned something

[@ali09gaming58]

same here bro running in the background lol while i was asleep, just found out dimensions can decay

[@smallgronk2433]

@@ali09gaming58 Lmao it just happened to me too XD

[@ali09gaming58]

@@smallgronk2433 hmm now its suspicious, maybe they tryna program us

[@destiny2jannat]

Same 😂

[@skellurip]

same here

[@jastrophotography]

I woke up at 4am to this playing in the background it was legit giving me the scariest nightmare I've had in a while.

[@mooncop]

what is this with Wolfram Physics videos randomly playing in a deep tab somewhere?! have we perhaps been drawn into this foliation inadvertently? stay tuned for more quantum weirdness

[@BIight.]

Its 6:12am and i hear this speedy guy talking in the background, it was tripling me out (as im halfway awake and mid sleep) but hey bro i hope u have a wonderful 2024, Godbless you

[@bookofbrah]

And again I woke up to this haha xD

[@chucknades117]

best sleep ever

[@xylin48]

i woke up for work, went to the bathroom and came back, this was on, i went to go grab my phone which had fell beside my bed, as soon as i hit the bed i was out, all cause of this

[@stack.1]

Went to sleep watching some DIY robotics vid, no we're here

[@tarkajedi3331]

It is marvelous to see two brilliant men argue for their positions and seek out the truth together - Hopefully they get a drink afterwards!

[@jakehansen5039]

I’m

[@J.SolariBalcells]

How many of you ended up here after falling asleep to KZbin and what was your first video about? Mine was ancient civilizations, but is not the first time I wake up to one of wolfram's videos. Apparently I've been studing his theories for a while now... Also, What country are y'all sleeping beauties from? Just trying to understand the algorithm.

[@stack.1]

Slept off on some robotics kinematics video, woke up to this, from Nigeria

[@d1psh1tc1ty]

Jonathan woke up on the wrong side of the hypergraph that morning.

[@berniethejet]

Makes me very happy to hear geniuses abuse one another.

[@SirBurnsicus]

lol same

[@flatsz]

I haven't studied physics in 3 years but I think youtube autoplay is telling me to go back

[@kaidmp]

As frustrated as that one guy got, I’m glad they kept running through it. An hour in and I just barely started understanding what they’re talking about.

[@MrMrdazzab]

Well that was uncomfortable

[@realhummel]

Its so nice to show how you are working on your presentation. :-)

[@TheMemesofDestruction]

1:31:13 -- "What is the analog of conformal rescaling but for dimension?" I agree with Jonathan. ^.^

[@softan]

Dimensional transmutation.

[@MarkDStrachan]

Could there be a local definition of topological dimension for a hypergraph node that says the number of outgoing hyperedges == topological dimension for that node, and then for a set of nodes, the hausdorf dimension of that set is equal to the average number of outgoing edges for all nodes in the set? Is there a metric of a length for hyperedges that converts a hypergraph edge into metric space directly? Could you consider a single path through a hypergraph equating to an interval in a metric space, so you can apply infinitesimals within a hypergraph edge? or for a single point to point directed edge contained within a hyperedge? Is it possible that a node is not just a node but is instead a ball with a metric defining a radius? I guess what I'm implying here is that topological dimension may be implied by some topological structure at the node level, but the space allows variable numbers of edges out of a node, and that allows variable hausdorf dimension for the overall graph. So, we limit to 3 topological dimensions as the nodes pack together densely, but can still have variable hausdorf dimension, and in fact, the osciallations in QFT may be local dimensional hausdorf dimension variation like pressure waves that travel thru a tension between hausdorf and topological dimension that sits at 3 but then varies locally oscillating back and forth but settling down quickly to 3 stable topological dimensions? I really need to figure out how I can get into the real time broadcast so I can ask questions like this when someone is available to talk. I fear no one is going to read the youtube comments...

[@kaidmp]

I read your comment. Sadly I don’t understand most of it, but I find all this stuff intriguing and hope you find the answers.

[@Retro_Juno]

idk man

[@gkomarovskis]

what the hell did yt autoplay bring me to😊

[@sampleoffers1978]

Same experience. I left something else on, this was very nice to sleep to though theyre at each other's throats sounds like but if they're saying decaying dimensions inevitability, definitely intense content.

[@kimono8413]

started having a dream about sneaking into some huge ass house then in the attic their was this team working on a robotic arm

[@jastrophotography]

this video gave me a nasty nightmare in it there were clones of the same scientist and this scientist was making copies of himself he could even copy his memories onto the clones and ask them if they were him the nightmare for scariest when I realized I was the scientist and I had dumped my memories into a one of the clones and couldn't tell if I was the original or not.

[@alcaz0r1]

Question: In the definition of curvature, where they have a ball of size N at points x and y, and form a bijection between the surfaces of the balls that minimizes average geodesic distance, if the dimension is different at points x and y, wouldn't there be different numbers of points on the surfaces of the balls and therefore construction of a bijection would not be possible?

[@nolan412]

It's all 1d on small enough time scales.

[@nolan412]

Though in a substitution system, a rule could splat out to many nodes in a single step.

What language is this

[@aceghani1327]

To the NSA (Americans) I am studying this in exchange for my freedom from your spying program towards normal foreign civilians (like me), (probably to design your new generation of rocket for some mars program) I think youre scouting out talents over here for your space program, but unfortunately, Im one of the person in your list for psyop. Ill try to do this my best, but in exchange, please free me and my family, my friends, anyone I knew, and please leave the person behind the system alone (she has nothing to do with this). Please free all the victims you tortured here in Malaysia, like the chinese aunty, you tortured her and her family for 30 years, please let her and her family go and some other victims here no matter what their race are and what their religious backgrounds are, please give them some compensation for their lost, some easy job with a really good salary for them to survive and build a new life, healthcare benefits (to treat their injury/ illness they get from your torture), social security, social support. Please free them all. I will do whatever it takes to design this space rocket of yours you just let us free, and please allow me to get a job, so I can afford myself for a living. I will apply for jobs that require me to constantly study and study so that I could do two things at a time, (study for the job related work, and also progress for the Rocket engineering). Incase if some of you are wondering wether am I an american somekind of spy? In Malaysia, or the videos you suggest me just now was for a psyop to make me look as if im an american. I am clearly NOT an American (incase if that is the purpose of your video)(or I may be wrong, if im wrong, i apologize for this). I have issues with this perception and I cant apply for asylum in a foreign country due to your psyop against me, foreign government thought I may be one of yours. I am a Malaysian, (NOT an American) nor have i ever work for any intelligence agency. I understand that posting overhere in KZbin sounds like a Bullshit/ stupid/embarrassing act infront of the public, but what choice do i have? Sending a letter to your office an expecting you to free me and you respond back with a letter of apology on behalf of your agency? That will never happen. I had no place to go, and no one to turn to (so what can i do?) I had to post overhere. Just let me go, Ill design your space rocket, you let me go, and let the others go too. Please let us live free. We havent done anything to you or your country or your people. So let us go

take your meds

AI would solve this problem in .000000001342 of a nano second! So sad.
