Most big universities in Canada are at a similar level. It's not like the US where you get shit schools where you're taking 'college algebra' in year 3. If you take Honours Physics at Ottawa you will learn the same material. Just make sure you do well and get to know professors for good references.

Everything can reopen now. Well, five days from now. Turns out masks and lockdowns weren't effective. Now that our understanding has evolved, we can move on to other measures. Be sure to get your vaccination shots and your vaccination passport.
>A group of researchers at Stanford published a peer-reviewed study earlier this month assessing the impact of lockdowns and stay-at-home orders — what they refer to as non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) in early 2020. The study did not find evidence to support that NPIs were effective in preventing the spread.
>“In summary, we fail to find strong evidence supporting a role for more restrictive NPIs in the control of COVID in early 2020,” the study concludes. “We do not question the role of all public health interventions, or of coordinated communications about the epidemic, but we fail to find an additional benefit of stay-at-home orders and business closures. The data cannot fully exclude the possibility of some benefits. However, even if they exist, these benefits may not match the numerous harms of these aggressive measures. More targeted public health interventions that more effectively reduce transmissions may be important for future epidemic control without the harms of highly restrictive measures.”

We'll probably get even worse. Just wait until some of the pathogens that have been dormant in permafrost for 10,000+ years start to be released by global warming.

>>12583327
That doesn't make any sense.

>>12584537
That makes sense if you know anything about sound-design

>>12584544
OK, but you're suggesting human language somehow would predate music. That's nonsense.

>>12584583
Gorillas beat their chest to create rythm while making moneysounds

Humans have the biggest brains, but not the best sight, or smell/taste. If humans are the only ones who can perceive music, then they logically have the most developed sense of sound. I find that unlikely. Birds have better sight than humans. Is there no animal that has better sound perception?

If it is true, that humans have the most developed sense of sound, then it would follow that brain development and sound perception (i.e. music listening) are directly connected. They would have to be.

Alright, instead of magical vanishing mass, you could gather an immense quantity of energy and then release it as an explosion or discharge it in a massive magnetically focused beam.
Use a laser infrometer on a craft intercepting the wake of a passing hypervelocity star to verify it.

>>12582863
Negative mass means produces energy when moved... Therefore magnets got a little bit of negative mass added to normal mass.

Electromagnetism and ionization is key to warp, not negative mass.

Yes it produces energy, when you move it correctly, even charged ions by magnets.

>>12582863
If you push ions by a huge electromagnet... It's sort of creating a lot of pressure highly electrified... If ions are also moving, it's really dense thing ... You can simply do magic in a good lab.

I cannot do stuff like that at home, psychiatrist will steal from me and mark me crazy.

>>12582863
> If you had a mass and vanished it somehow, would there be any rebound in the distortion of spacetime?
Yes. But so what?
> Is this a thing? Wouldnt it need to be for gravitational waves to be a thing?
Yes that is precisely how gravitational waves work. Here was a thing, now its a thing is a slightly different location.

Stop trying to terraform everything so it suits your weak organic body, that's pathetic.
Organic life is not going to make it. Weak humans will be replaced by machines. Terraforming is pointless.

The interesting portion of constructive randomness is it paves way for the empirical discovery of "Divine Law" which is a precausality construction without entities versus a construction like prime movers. It has parallel the living in a simulation idea, where randomness limiting structure is the program.
Questions arise as to how the structure could exist. And the complementary conundrum is why should random events interact at all. The excuse was Locality( and now maybe non-locality) and ontology. Things are some way, but if their existence is like hurricanes of randomness with a lot of inertia - as a hurricane isn't a thing at all, but good luck wishing one away - then being is an event of randomness channeling randomness. Oddly enough, naming hurricanes turns out to be a striking example of the depth in human intuition as well as its blindness. My point is there are currently structures that exist everywhere with pretty much no reason for their particular existence and to arbitrarily ask more of a non-causality structure is merely duplicitous. Randomness acting upon itself is proof of the structure.
I am sure there is a lot I am missing, but it appeals to some. I haven't really dug into the Law solution and while fractal structures are extremely interesting to me, I am fully convinced of monads and the only way that will change is a lobotomy, but it is sexy compared to fickle gods and their tantrums. Hypothetically interactions of randomness will vary based upon the structure. This could be tested for, maybe like GCPdot but probably not as that follows the similar quackery of psychic phenomenon. Mental states would be just as swayed by the structure as any random event.

>>12585420
RGD33 for sure.

>>12585368
>Will quantum physics change that,
No. Problem of causality is a deeper question of nature. Whether substance monism or dualism is even coherent or not. Substance monism (either pure physicalism or pure God/spirit) or dualism (god/spirit and physical) are two of the most popular variants to deal with reality and both have problems with causality. There are others like non-dualism (buddhism) which do away with substance all together but even that has some causality issue with it being unintuitive.

Quantum mechanics wont solve it.

>>12582756
No, there's just karma, endless wheel of time.
Sometimes effects happens without causes, and causes have no effect.

Wise man know which, how and super brahman also why.

I don't even know what is cause and what is effect. Is payment for vehicle cause you have it, or you payed because you wanted it and that's the cause?

Thank you anon.

I keep bouncing in between the fact that I might have undiagnosed ADD/ ADHD or that I just have the self control of a weak loser and that it is all just a cope. I will try this soon

How much force would a vagin need to have to create enough suction that there will be a gravitational pull from which dick can't escape?
(ignore friction)

bump for knowing

>>12583450
important

>>12582650
maybe

Yes, except escape velocity refers to a gradual decrease in attraction force since gravity works on long distances, while the yoghurt is stuck to the spoon through various intermolecular forces that cease functioning as soon as the molecules separate.

>>12582626

>>12582679

Just talk to your professor and tell him you got covid and you need more time. They'll probably grant you the extension even if they are hardasses because of the chinaflu.

Awareness was a thing before the universe.

>>12582430
a) Nobody ever seen it happened.
b) It's christian fairytale, so you should thing that god made it, therefore he's some unknown matter or have no will over where we are, but they want just that it exist so they can base their intrusive propaganda on it.
c) It didn't have to happened, all proofs are kindergarden level fraud.
d) Proove it existed.
e) If it existed, it happened out of chance and fun, like everything in universe.

i guess this thread is here for the same reason as all threads. for you to speak for everyone and act like a total cunt so you can feel some sort of power over someone else because you cant do that irl.
