>What is at the end of our rainbow?

I ask you /sci/, do you have a conceivable idea of our eventual fate?

Immortality : venered on another planets by primitive lifeforms which we've given the light of consciousness, the mastering of the Universe with powerful machines. Other will thrive in virtual worlds, living in hedonism with limitless energy from robotic workers.
>>
This is my thinking on how and where we will go.
Only major changes are included

Asteroid mining
>Obviously

Space-station farming
>Much faster than terraforming

Planet mining
>With a few domed colonies

Genetic manipulation and bionic upgrades
>Eventually leading to the creation of beings capable of living indefinitely

Colony ships
>Obviously

And that's it.
Once we have reached this level we are left with isolated pockets of immortal being subsisting on the energy of the star and limited resources of a solar system with no effective way of creating a network of communication.

After this more and more people will choose to live in a purely digital reality where godhood is perfectly normal.

The end result is that a vast majority of our civilization will live within a simulation housed in dyson spheres.
>>
>>8189523
That's it though, isn't it?
Each individual system will be essentially an isolated, independent offshoot of humanity and we regress to living in tribes.

Seems a far way off from the godhood you might normally think of as the pinnacle of humanity.

Is the newest TI-84+ CE worth the money or should I go for an older model?

Looks to be an electron orbital, or similar thing. Mathematically, it's a spherical harmonic.

In Einstein’s space-time all space-time exist at the same time. Since all space-time exist at the same time that means all computer files exist at the same time. By using the science of check-sum hacking files can be reconstructed with their check-sums.

A check sum is a number that represents a computer file. All computer files are just numbers.

You can add up all those numbers in a computer file to get a check-sum. Or use more advanced methods to take those numbers in a computer file and get a strong check sum. Moving on....

Now, add in another computer program that can mathematically calculate the check sums of files in the past, present, future, or alternate reality and those computer files can be reconstructed in their entirety by their check sums then this is called time hacking.

Taking it a step further files from computers can be reconstructed without ever connecting to the Internet or connecting to the computer itself if the check sums for those files can be calculated.

Hello, I am Reactor1967 and I am a time hacker.

My methods can be viewed and studied at http://time-travel.institute. Also, please see my blog at http://timetravelcomputers.blogspot.com

Tbh I can't see huge evolutionary benefit in this, so why really bother?

Do you think you could explain the evolutionary benefit of time travel? I don't see any real reason for it.

That's what this article said about a Japanese satellite that monitored black holes before it malfunctioned. Black holes let out gases that form and maintain galaxies.

Black holes are space vagina's. God is a woman?

More mass goes into a black hole then comes out of it. Black holes don't maintain galaxies, they are the result of galaxies.

What use is the Banach–Tarski paradox?

Why would anyone even need an infinite number of spheres?

>What use

None, it is a manifestation of axioms. It does not mean anything for the real world. Axioms mimic our reality but the problem is that mathematics is so precise that even the universe cannot match it.

Proof:
In the real world circles have both rational diameter and circumference

In mathematics circles have either rational diameter and irrational circumference or irrational circumference and rational diameter.

Thus proving that the universe is actually a simulation. By measuring real life circles we can approximate pi, just like you could approximate pi by writing a javascript script that draws a circle and then measuring that circle,

we would be affected?
its gravitational force will be higher?
life would hold its moons? and mars?

It would be easier to spot at night, might even be able to see it during the day.
Not sure what would happen to its moons, I think it would be too massive to keep close orbits around it, eating them up.

How is the lifespan of a red dwarf so fucking long? You could build a giant space-base around one and live off it's energy forever.

learn about forms and differential geometry, then you'll be able to write the general version of Stokes' theorem.

I have my ACT test results back and i scored a 32 in math and a 27 in science but my english and reading scores brought my overall down to a 27.

Is a 32 even good for math? What was everyone else's scores and should I even bother to retake it for a higher score.

32 is fucking awful. Did your parents drop you on your head when you were a child?
>>
>>8182969
i would retake if i were you. I got 31 first time and 35 the next.

Science portion becomes really fucking easy after taking it a few times

Ameriags taking that act thing.

Saw this math challenge some time ago. Supposedly it's for 9th graders in China, but I doubt it. In any case I can't solve it, and it is driving me nuts.

>The challenge is to prove that the distance BD is equal to the distance DP.
B is a static point.
BC is parallell with MN.
BDE is a triangle that rotates around B, and D is always on the MN line.
BDE's rotation is displayed in the three figures.
P is the point where DE intersects with the AC "tangent".

Hope I've been clear enough. Tell me if not, and I'll try to explain better.
Any geniuses here that can help me?

Correct me if i´m wrong but doesn´t the fact that it´s rotating means it cannot stay on the same line?

Why are girls interested in sex in their early teens even though it's dangerous for them to get pregnant at that age?

Doesn't that suggest that there are benefits to being interested in sex at that age that outweigh (or at least would have outweighed in the ancestral environment) the risks of the occasional early pregnancy?

>>8186020
Women interested in sex at early ages means more potential children until they're infertile to reproduce.
>>
>>8186020
We evolved to reproduce as early and often as possible because we were likely to die by 30. Also citation needed for it being dangerous to be pregnant during your early teens

kids are curious and they mimic behavior of adults. doesn't mean they are capable of consenting.
