  1. Calculus is all about derivatives. Derivatives are used to calculating area of a curve, which you will learn much later on. The core of calculus is really finding the anti-derivatives (to calculate area of that shape made by the equation). All the rules such as multiplication rules, division rules of calculus are short cuts.
  2. Hello. What are your reasons for suspecting a below average IQ. You seem like a much above IQ person to me by the writing. Perhaps you been hanging out with smart folks that in comparison seems below, but compared to the whole population, definate above average. I always eaten healthy. I have really sensitive tongue, I chew more than most people, I've noticed. I am very careful with my eating, for example, I subcionciously keep track of how much fibre I've had and how much my sugar intake should be according to the change in temperature and activitiies. A person is made up of multiple things, not just skill and body. There is also relationships. I think establishing a strong bond with a smart math person can be more effective than knowing how to do those math on your own. Math is not that important and powerful for any work that is general to be honest. Math helps, but is not the only substance that can help. I sharpened my math skills throughout my life, through studying of number patterns and tricks of calculation and number recgonition, etc.. On the later years I started studying calculus while doing physics experiments with high-tech simlulation software. I also played some sudoku puzzles to increase my reaction time. Reaction time to numbers does improve the overall effiency of doing math. Lastly, from my years of experience doing math I'd say that when doing math, it is not like pushing a cart, it is not the more force the better. It is the more force at the correct locations the better. Also, balance of exercises is important. Too many of my coleagues no longer excel over me because they don't exercise and eat right! (notice how it is eat right, not eat more, once again, life is much about doing it right, not doing it more)
  3. Well, Internet has changed over the last 10 years. Plus, though this is called a Science Forum, it is still not a real life forum.
  4. Systems can deflate due to missrepresentation (yes, Miss Representation) is what I meant. Misrepresentation can occur when one tries to represent. Yes I understood what you meant. Symbols, to me are to abbreviate what they represent, not to replace what they represent. For example, the famous Newton formula - force equals mass times acceleration of the same target object is abbreviated to f=m*a. The use of this symbol causes more work have to be done in the mind process, but less work to do on the writing part. I call it a convertion of effort. The Law of Universal Conservation Of Energy relates to this (law of ) convertion of effort I have. So, inflation and deflation can occur as correct and false statements can be written. Symbols can cause confusion is what I'd say in some cases, which creates more effort needed for those individuals, is that what you meant by inflation? Or were you talking about the actual increase in data or the desire to obtain more data?
  5. Yes that is what I meant. Even with the current telescopes and physics formulas/calculations we still get large errors. Formulas work to a precision. When precision are needed, additional methods have to be used. For something that is very time-consuming and automated such as spaceship travel, one would have to adjust periodicly. Due to the long distance and time needed, far too many adjustment would be needed, which would cost an momumental amount of fuel. If one tries to reduce fuel consumption by reducing adjustment frequency then the spaceship would arrive elsewhere. So yeah, I believe it's gonna be hard to space travel toward somewhere outside of solar system.
  6. No problem. Some of my thoughts on space exploration is that humans won't be able to travel to a hospitable planet outside of the solar system, it is simply too far. Also, on a technical perspective, newton's law of universal gravity is not exactly accurate. Matters decrease in temperature overtime, planets change path slightly bit. Once that happens, the path of the spaceship would have to be adjusted, which would costs tremendous fuel. Even if the pathing went safe. Landing would be a problem, since friction of the air and gravity can melt the outter core of the spaceship and create a devestating landing, respectively.
  7. Well, the free trade, for that one - asia-pacific free trade is more of a taxation on the Asian countries. Since Asian countries had much more tarriff on incoming foreign goods than the foreign countries'tax on them. And for the immigration recently, it's due to they want to create a Dominion. Any questions feel free to ask
  8. Well, in a street battle, misfire do happen. Especially when you fire on objects at an angle, the fragments can ricochet 50 meters.
  9. It is endless because how you derive pi depend on how much you "zoom in" in the curve. The more accurate and detailed to measure the circumference, the more correct decimal digits. In construction of circles, some architects avoided calculation of pi by simply using a fine brush tied to a stick and span it on the sheet, and viola, a perfect circle. No need to calculate the area.
  10. I think the word exaggerate would fit better than inflate. As inflate usually means increase in density and the volumn where as exaggerate means increase in porportion (size, volumn), the density becomes thinner. Yes representation does cause inflation I think and at sometimes cause deflation. How much the inflation and wheter inflation or deflation depends on what kind've representation is used. If it is an overfancy (in shape/pattern) symbol to represent something that is only yes or no (binary), then it does cause exaggeration of actual information they are representing. But then it also depends on the reader.
  11. There might be other universes, but certainly not in the same space! The word space means region. Two things cannot be in the same region.
  12. Getting there is gonna be a severe issue. There is definately water there if it has an atmosphere similar to that of Earth and 22 degree Celcious. Water is a common substance for fairly decent size planets.
  13. The names don't really matter, it is its definition. For example, a person could know the name of the three laws of Newton without knowing what they actually are about. Far too often do we see people just remembering the names and think that is "understood". There is never a yes or no answer to understanding, but rather, not understand to different levels of understanding.
  14. Hello. When you said folded space, I think a better term would be compressed space. Speed of light cannot be reached by engines. The maximum speed for any molecule is quite low. So, reaching light speed would not be possible by those ships or any sort've instruments. Speed of light seems is 299700 km per second, which is also 299700000 metre per second. It's really almost an exclusive speed. The drawings of circles that represented atoms in the public school chemistry books were inaccurate, as atoms are not balls. They do seperate when high speed is reached. So, humans wouldn't be able to space explore that quickly.
