  1. I would like to know peoples opinions on how the human race will evolve with technology.

     

    Given the fact robots are replacing large quantities of human jobs in almost every sector of idustry at an alarming rate, what is the future of human productivity?

    It is presumed when technology replaces manpower that humans on average benefit, which thus far has proved true given the advancements in the agricultural and industrial sectors, allowing for cheaper foods and general goods / modern necessities. 

    However can this curve continue? For every job a robot replaces a new job must be created to fill the gap, not only do all replaced jobs need replacing with something new but also the exponential growth of humanity also requires an unprecedented amount of currently unknown jobs to be created.

     

    Essentially will technology cause a future pandemic in terms of jobs?

     

     

  2. This is a pretty weird question for chemistry as this idea of "infinite time infinite resources" isn't usually thought about, chemistry as a whole usually tries to focus on the most practical solutions to a problem.

     

    For your first question, there are certain limits for what we can create even with infinite time and infinite resources and time due to limits we have discovered, quaternary alcohols for example.

     

    As for your second, I personally think that with infinite knowledge (and thus a complete understanding) of the properties of the atoms and how they interact we could in theory predict any molecule and its respective interactions. But who's to say that we'll ever have that knowledge, one day we may think that we're close and we'll suddenly discover a curveball.

     

    If there is a limit to chain-length and the size of molecules, it has not yet been discovered.

     

    Perhaps to expand slightly, if a machine could find relative catalysts and then use them with other reactions using simulations of the properties currently known, Then we could permute extensively the chain of reactions. I understand what you mean with curveball, any misinterpretation or lack of current understanding could lead to false results, but surely given out current knowledge and computational capabilities we could cover alot of ground? Just in terms of predicting physical properties etc

  3.  

    There's no shame in trusting the preponderance of evidence. In this case, it shows that video-only education often leads to fundamental misunderstandings, which leads to unsound thinking, which leads to numerology vs mathematics discussions.

     

    Why bother joining such an "unsound" thread then??

     

    If you read the OP i specifically question where to draw the line, in further posts i express how you can quite easily have one foot in one foot out. However you decide to......talk about youtube as a non-educational tool which obviously only "non-scientists" use.

     

    what are you trying to achieve because honestly you've given no opinion on the OP or any latter correspondence other than your very broad statement regarding numerology and scientists and scientists and youtube. curtail call?

  4.  

    Are you serious? Regardless of your point, serious scientists reject numerology. Period. And most serious scientists don't do yootoob, they publish papers. Things you should be reading, to learn things properly. Hmmmm.

     

    Shame on them, youtube has lots of great scientific outlets..... also its broad statement to say serious scientists reject numerology.

     

    If you read my earlier posts i reject most of the spiel that comes from numerology but it doesn't mean you cant be a mathematician and have a foot in numerology. As for scientific papers i think more will be posted today than i could get through in a lifetime, thats the speed technology and science moves, also you have to pay to get hold of some of the most recent or cutting edge papers which unfortunately not everyone can afford. Time and money ..... time and money.

  5. I am really unknown of this term EMR.

    A more detailed explanation will be helpful.

     

    Electromagetic Radiation covers the electromagnetic spectrum for all waves, light, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet etc all travel at the SOL (speed of light).

     

    Other than sound and gravity im not sure what else has wave form, other than electrons in QM.

     

    Here's a link to better explain it than me.

     

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation

     

    you can create your own waveforms ofcourse and things like the harmonic series. I just assumed you were referring to EM waves.

  6.  

    Please provide links to MIT, Stanford, Khan Academy, and TedTalks on numerology.

     

    That was obviously not the point i was trying to make, simply stating youtube doesnt mean that its all crack-pottery. But by some peoples accounts......

     

    and i didn't mention that any of those institutions had anything regarding numerology ...... so why would i link something ive made no claim to? hmmm

  7. the whole of edX, MiT, stanford, ted talks, khan acad etc are on youtube why would you wince?

     

    The wiki page is vague and brief, youtube videos are real people expressing themselves and their views.

     

    Completely off topic aswell.....

  8. I'm not sure what you mean by size. An observer at a distance of r from centre of the earth will measure earth's size as r. So, it becomes one of the coordinates required to interpret the observer's position in a spherical coordinate system, the other two being latitude and longitude.

     

    He means if something like earth was growing in size, while we were travelling in a spaceship back to earth the distance will shorten.

  9. Are you basing your presumptions on the single equation d = vt because im fairly sure neither Newton or Einstein discovered it, thats a simple equation for a moving object. I don't know a great deal about either of their mathematics but im fairly sure you'll find that they have an equation that accounts for size, have you checked?

     

    If not im sure we can draw one up??

  10. No size is a dimension within x,y,z.

     

    space-time is used in Eisenstein theories

    time is used in newtons

     

    You want to add size as function of time in a differential, but that doesn't make size a dimension, it makes it variable.

     

    Also if the plane is getting bigger and he is getting smaller your missing the fact that one or both of these objects are moving, which still makes the basic equation true.

  11.  

    I dislike this statement immensely. Logic is part of maths, but the kind of "logic" numerology uses is tainted and subjective. Not all valid arguments are sound.

     

    axioms have been proven false also.

     

    Numerology obviously isn't mathematics or atleast some of it, but there are aspects which have drawn directly from specific patterns etc

     

    The logical premise that say the fib seq was created by god because it appears so often in nature is flawed but only to the extent that we dont know why these laws or patterns exist and may never.

  12. Your mixing space-time and Newtonian physics up.

     

    The mathematics is different, it depends on the relative equation but for a single object moving in Newtonian physics s=vt is true because vt will give you the distance travelled relative to time, if you reach your position the total distance is calculated regardless of whether the other object has exponentially increased in size.

     

    it will only tell you at any given moment how far you have travelled, not how far you have left.

     

    If you have two objects moving towards each other the same holds true, if both are increasing in size the equation s = vt will still only tell you how far either object has travelled.

     

    ETA unknown.

  13.  

     

    I have never heard numerology used in that meaning. Are you thinking of Pythagoreanism (or Platonism or Mathematical Monism or ...) ?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagoreanism

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platonism

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy_of_mathematics#Mathematical_monism

     

    Yes they are more towards what i believe, Numerologists still attribute particular patterns to God though, which is more the point.

    Like the Fib sequence is widely regarded as divine because of its repetition throughout nature.

     

    Also i watch youtube alot more than i read wiki or other sources and from some of the numerology video's they talk about the golden ratio and various aspects of pi such as the 3-6-9 law. Some video's are about how patterns (namely fib, but others) are so intrinsic to nature that they were "designed" as such. Finally the majority of videos are completely abstract relations or attempts at showing mathematics in scripture.

     

    This lead me to believe there were (or are) various degree's to numerology, not just the religious transcriptions to number.

  14. I created a power management system using an arduino for 12V battery bank, you physically swapping the gear box? if your gona send a signal from the arduino your gona need something mechanical to switch the gears, pro-grammatically its simple, 4 if statements, 4, ports, 4 transistors / relays and whatever limits are on the gears. This seems like more mechanical than programming?

  15. Hi everybody,

     

    We all know that in mathematics, any wave can be thought of as the plot of a circle in the 2D coordinate plane (considering 2D waves only). A wave [math]W[/math] may be represented as:

    [math]W(x,t)=Acos(kx-\omega t)[/math]

    Where [math]W(x,t)[/math] is the function of the wave's position [math]x[/math] and time [math]t[/math], which gives the displacement from the x-axis, [math]k[/math] is the wavenumber, [math]\omega[/math] is the angular frequency of the circle; [math]\omega=2\pi f[/math], where [math]f[/math] is the frequency of the wave.

    Thus the wave [math]W[/math] is a curved line, consisting of points of the form [math](x,Acos(kx-\omega t))[/math]

     

    But, I think (and that's my question too) that the position [math]x[/math] and time [math]t[/math] can be represented as functions of the angle of the circle [math]\theta[/math].

     

    Here's how...

     

    Let the wave velocity be [math]v[/math]. Then,

    [math] v=\frac{x}{t}[/math]

    Or, [math]x=vt[/math]

    But, [math]v=f\lambda[/math], [math]f[/math] is frequency and [math]\lambda[/math] is the wavelength.

    So, [math]x=f\lambda t[/math]

    But, [math]f=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}[/math]

     

    So, [math]x=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}\lambda t[/math]

     

    But, [math]\omega=\frac{\theta}{t}[/math]

     

    So, [math]x=\frac{\theta \lambda}{2\pi}[/math]

     

    Similarly,

    [math] t=\frac{\theta}{\omega}[/math]

     

    Am I correct ?

     

    So, [math]x=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}\lambda t[/math]

     

    But, [math]\omega=\frac{\theta}{t}[/math]

     

    So, [math]x=\frac{\theta \lambda}{2\pi}[/math]

     

    [math]x=\frac{\frac{\theta}{t} \lambda t}{2\pi}[/math]

     

    without latex, you've got x = ((theta / t ) / 2pi) * lambda t

     

    omega doesnt drop the t down with 2pi to cancel

     

    you've got a fraction on a fraction t wouldnt cancel and everything should still be * lambda t

  16. Hello,

    If there's a wave having velocity v, such that in time t, it has travelled a distance of x, then will the equation relating v and x be v=kx/t, where k is its wavenumber.

     

    EMR is constant. What do you mean by wavenumber? a wave has a frequency, amplitude, length and phase
