  1. Why do some people spend hours at work.

    It is observed that people with Asperger's syndrome are workaholics.

    Is work an attribute of the mind?

    In fact, in Japan, work related suicides (karoshi) are said to be not uncommon. :mellow:

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

  2. Is there a possibility that the Universe is perpetually expanding ? I think that after the initial impetus of the big bang where matter was distributed progressively, gravitation between the different sub-components of the Universe (like globular clusters) determines how the Universe will pan out. (much like Plasticine). When interactive forces become very small voids are created which are either worm holes or black holes, implying the creation of new "universes". This process can continue perpetually. The semantics of the word "Universe" are open to debate. :wacko:

  3. Assume that an electron and a positron were emitted as part of the big bang on parallel trajectories.

    I conjecture that they cannot propagate independently ad infinitum.

     

    Here's why :

    1) Infinite momentum and hence infinite parallelism is not possible

    2) There is a component of the attractive force that continues to act on the particles through their trajectories.

    3) Space time is curved and particles on a geodesic would end up meeting in curved space.

     

    Hence all such mutually antagonistic pairs would end up annihilating each other. :wacko:

  4.  

    Do they? Where is that quote from? (Or did you make it up and put quotation marks around it to make it sound authoritative? It just sounds wrong (and even if you repeat it, sequentially, it will still be wrong.)

     

     

    Are they? (And "quantum" does not mean random.)

     

     

    From my perspective, your posts are becoming increasingly incoherent.

     

    Have you heard of the adage "delay defeats equity". Mathematically a delay is a negative event and a succession of such events actually is interpreted as an endorsement of status quo. Now do you see my point ?

  5. okay but you're probably going to have to describe in detail what that is and how you can quantify it such that you can make statements like

     

    without it sounding like you pulled it from your... well you know

     

    what is a socialization threshold? this isn't a term that I can find in literature (though obviously a lot of papers for each of these terms individually)

     

    Different people socialize at various levels. Some instantly make friends, others need some special interest group to stimulate their minds. The "threshold" term I have introduced above implies the effort required to thaw an individuals seclusion when placed in a group. Alcoholics and drug abusers are usually depressed and dependent on external dopamine fixes and this makes them cold and aloof, with a high threshold. Socialites on the other hand have a low threshold.

  6. "Too many sequential wrongs make a right"......

     

    Events are essentially random (quantum) eg) 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0

     

    However when the same event recurrs consistentially, the model changes from quantum to deterministic. eg) 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

     

    This is even if the event has "negative" connotations.

     

    What is wrong or right then becomes a matter of perspective. :unsure:
