Why does the brain have the same receptors has the tummy and intestines? Also what is signals?
You may find answers to your questions in the Wikipedia articles 5-HT receptor and Psilocin.

Today I Learned
Today I learned about alpha-gal syndrome, a potentially life-threatening allergy to mammalian products such as meat and milk, acquired from tick bites. Specifically, it is an allergy to the epitope of the carbohydrate molecule galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose ("alpha-gal"). According to the Wikipedia article, the alpha-gal molecule is naturally found in the bodies of all mammal species except catarrhines (apes and Old World monkeys), the taxonomic branch that includes humans. Alpha-gal can also be found in the saliva of insects including certain tick species. It is through the saliva of tick bites that humans can become sensitised to alpha-gal, a substance foreign to humans, and therefore become sensitised to mammalian products. Alpha-gal is also present in many manufactured products, including medication and medical products.

Is this a proper application of sesquation and quotation? My first new non Prime hypothesis. Can it be applied to multivariable equations?
I found this YouTube video about "Hyperoperations" which may be of interest. I especially found the "Commutative hyperoperations" at around 16:32 to be interesting.

There are also sesquiterpenes with molecular formula C15H24. A monoterpene has molecular formula C10H16 and consists of two isoprene units (C5H8). Thus, a sesquiterpene consists of three isoprene units, hence the "sesqui" prefix.

Although I'm unfamiliar with the term "sesquation", I am aware of the concept. This is reminiscent of the notion of fractional calculus and the fractional Fourier transform. And the gamma function: [math]\displaystyle \Gamma(z) = \int_{0}^{\infty}\!t^{z-1}\,e^{-t}\,dt[/math] which can be regarded as a fractional form of the factorial function: [math]\displaystyle \Gamma(n) = (n-1)![/math] Interestingly, although there are an infinite number of functions [math]\displaystyle f(x)[/math] that satisfy: [math]\displaystyle f(x+1) = x\,f(x)\ \ \text{for all}\ \ x > 0,\ \ f(1) = 1[/math] the gamma function is the only such function that is logarithmically convex (see Bohr-Mollerup theorem).

“Now” as the Edge of the Universe
If by "present" one means the present defined by the Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric, while the idea probably doesn't conflict with known physics, it is probably quite meaningless in the sense of having no observable consequences contrasting with the notion of a block universe in which the future pre-exists. In other words, the idea violates Occam's razor.

Today I Learned
It's my understanding that it is due to the dependency mismatch between the time it takes an engine to do anything, which is inversely proportional to the engine speed, and the constant time of deflagration of the fuel-air mixture in the combustion chamber.

This looks intimidating... What sort of beast is it? I should also remark that the mathematics is stock standard mathematics used in general relativity. That you call it "intimidating" is revealing about your understanding of general relativity. I personally regard the mathematics as beautiful, although actually doing the mathematics, especially the index manipulations, can be quite tedious to do manually.

Bear in mind this is "The Sandbox" used for testing how the forum behaves, such as LaTeX code. However, the mathematics itself is about the Lie derivative, a tensorial derivative that is different to the covariant derivative and is independent of the connection.

Insight or just coincidence?
A particle's frequency corresponds to its energy, nothing more. To suggest anything more is to peddle woo. An eigenstate is one of the possible states that result from an observation.

Glass coatings. Really? Glass?
I looked at the video but the part I was most interested in was a secret. Even before I watched the video, I was expecting the liquid glass to be a silylating agent. There is nothing new about silylating agents in general. For example, they are used to render laboratory glassware hydrophobic. However, I was curious about the specific silylating agent in this case, which might be quite novel. I anticipate that the silylating agent would be more "glasslike" than typical silylating agents (which have organic groups attached).

I have a theory of everything and I can prove it.
I doubt that Newton's laws or Kepler's laws were named by Newton or Kepler after themselves. More likely, they were named by other people somewhat later. Actually, it is quite common for a law to be given the name of someone who is not the person who originally discovered it. From Wikipedia article "Stigler's law of eponymy": Stigler's law of eponymy, proposed by University of Chicago statistics professor Stephen Stigler in 1980, states that no scientific discovery is named after its original discoverer. Examples include Hubble's law, which was derived by Georges Lemaître two years before Edwin Hubble; the Pythagorean theorem, which was known to Babylonian mathematicians and to Indian mathematicians before Pythagoras; and Halley's Comet, which was observed by astronomers since at least 240 BC (although its official designation is due to the first ever mathematical prediction of such astronomical phenomenon in the sky, not to its discovery). Stigler attributed the discovery of Stigler's law to sociologist Robert K. Merton. (From htps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stigler%27s_law_of_eponymy)

Complaint from Today I Learned in Mathematics
I assume that. However, it is reasonable to assume that a downvote came from the one antagonistic person who did post in the thread.
