I think the moderators already have one, e.g.,

Why? Is there a problem?

One does not need a high IQ to realize that this is a wrong forum for this question. Brain Teasers and Puzzles:

QM is not mathematics. How a theory of mathematics can be applied to anything which is not mathematics?

n is proportional to q. This means that making q twice as big makes n twice as big. n is proportional to r. This means that making r 3 times as big makes n 3 times as big. Now, what happens to n if q is made twice as big and r is made 3 times as big? n should become 6 times as big. I.e., n is proportional to q*r. For example, in my last derivation on step 1, F(r) is some function of r. It depends on r, but it does not depend on q, i.e., it is independent of q. "F depends on r" means that if r varies, F might vary. "F does not depend on q, i.e., it is independent of q" means that varying q alone does not have any effect on F.

1. Given n=F(r)*q 2. Given n=G(q)*r 3. From 1 and 2, F(r)*q=G(q)*r 4. From 3, G(q)/q=F(r)/r 5. To hold for all q and r the two sides of the equation in 4 have to be constant. Let's call it, c 6. From 4 and 5, G(q)=c*q 7. From 2 and 6, n=c*q*r QED If any line is unclear, let me know.

I think that there is something out there which we perceive as the object. Just like we perceive these patterns of light on the screen as words written in English.

Sorry, but I fail to see how time and space come into counting of apples.

AFAIK, expansion of the universe is a GR effect, and it cannot be consistently described in term of Newtonian mechanics. Specifically, there is no Newtonian 'F' in GR formulation. Einstein field equations, EFE, relate geometry of spacetime (LHS of the equations) with distribution of energy-momentum in the spacetime (RHS). To get an accelerated expansion in these equations, you need either an extra term on the LHS or an extra term on the RHS. The former leads to inclusion of a "cosmological constant" in the EFE. The latter leads to inclusion of a peculiar energy source in the universe, the "dark energy."

Amen.

If not this, there would be something else. Belorussia, Kosovo, Serbia, Basks, who knows. You know that babies exhibit a feel of 'fairness' very early in life. They get upset when they perceive something as being 'unfair.' This emotion alone is enough to perpetuate wars.

I don't believe it because I don't see evidence for it, rather a wish.

However, Russians, Ukrainians, British, Irish, Arabs, Israelis, Armenians, Azeris, etc. are all well fed and sheltered, and they are/ were in wars anyway. There are other reasons.

I haven't realized it at first, but it really does. How does that Chekhov's quote look in English?

They are Deepak Chopra's disciple. E.g.,

Computer is a concept which we (you, me, some other people) use to organize our perceptions of the world. A member of lost Amazonian tribe while finding a computer in the forest would perhaps perceive three blocks rather than one anything, i.e. a big block (monitor), a medium size block (keyboard), and a small block (mouse). And she will be right. Same here. Same about waves.

They are running out of material. The above is a verbatim copy of the below:

Teenagers. Wait several years and check again.

I disagree. A common perception I observe is indifference, "It is something that scientists do..." Disagree again, sorry. It seems to me just opposite.

1+1=2 does not refer to any manipulations with the things, 1 and 1. It refers to counting things. If you count some things and find that there is 1 of them, count some other things and find that there is 1 of them, then if you count all of these things you find that there are 2 of them. This is what 1+1=2 says.

I think it is very difficult to know why people do what they do. Their personality, development, and environment affect their behavior, and then they come up with a narrative to explain and justify it, sometimes, to themselves and to others. Let me ask you: why do you want to know the answer to this question?

Sour grapes, again (the second time today; the other one referred to math.)

Me neither. Pandas and tumbleweed.

Also, most fish, I think, have many bones and/or cartilage protecting all organs. These don't cost much in the water as long as they are attached flexibly.

OK, I'll try. The goal of humanity should be to relax.
