Why is it controversial to say that human races have mental differences between them? It just doesn't make any sense. Yes, humans have a genetic bottleneck but humans have diverged since coming out of Africa that their physical features can be wildly different. We have the blacks, the pinks, the yellows, the abos. All look very different from each other physically.

There are differences in Race when it comes to medicine. White People are more prone to skin cancer than any other race due to a lack of melanin in their skin. Black people are at higher risks for high blood pressure, certain types of cancers and diabetes. Asians are at higher risks for liver disease than other races. Mixed race individuals are more likely to have these risks offset due to being biracial or multiracial but in some cases their risks of diseases prevalent in their heritage might be higher. Just like there are differences in biological sexes for treatment. Some humans like the Badjao or the Tibetans have evolved higher lung capacity compared to the average human.

So we have all these physical differences, affecting even diseases and medical treatment but somehow mentally we are all the same? That's kinda fishy no?

>while Asians and Jews higher than Whites on average
Jewish and Asian IQ is a meme. Notice how all of these studies conveniently discern between ashkenazi and other jews, and east asians from southeast asians, yet all gentile whites are lumped together; English with Irish, north Italian with southern, and everyone else. You'll also notice no metric of variance is ever reported in these studies.
>culturally unbiased IQ tests like Raven progressive matrices
While it is true the test itself is unbiased, I would argue their sampling and interpretation definitely are. Often these high east Asian scores are extrapolated from PISA scores, and only from affluent areas like Hong Kong and Singapore. It would be like sampling only from Gottingen or some rich white neighborhood.

How many IQ points did the overall population lose in the past few years?
Nowadays I whenever I find myself in an argument, it’s like I’ll have to constantly correct people for the most basic shit ever, because they cannot help but fill their arguments with silly middle school tier logical fallacies.

What's the purpose of taking the supremum of the infimum here in equation A1.5? This is apparently supposed to extend arithmetic to infinite decimals.

>>16145655
The infima can be as large as a_i for some i>=k such that a_i <= a_j for all j>=k. For the supremum, do you mean the supremum of the sequence of infima? I don't know what we can say about that.
>>
>>16145696
Maybe let be me more direct in what I'm thinking of.

Let m be an integer. Let a be a sequence such that [math]|a_i - a_j| < 10^{-m}[/math] for all i,j. Let b be the sequence defined by [math]b_i = \inf_{j \geq i} a_j[/math]. Let [math]a_n[/math] be an arbitrarily chosen member of the sequence a. You should be able to show:

[math]a_n - 10^{-m} < a_i < a_n + 10^{-m}[/math] for all i
[math]a_n - 10^{-m} \leq b_i \leq a_n + 10^{-m}[/math] for all i
[math]a_n - 10^{-m} \leq \sup \{b_i\} \leq a_n + 10^{-m}[/math]

>>16145731
in fact for the second one we can (and may as well) show the stronger
[math]a_n - 10^{-m} \leq b_i < a_n + 10^{-m}[/math] for all i
>>
>>16145731
The first one follows naturally from |a_i - a_n| < 10^-m as this means (by definition) -10^-m < a_i - a_n < 10^-m, so we have, for fixed n that: a_n - 10^-m < a_i < a_n + 10^-m.

The second one comes as follows: we assert that b_i <= a_j for any integer n, there exists an element a_l such that b_i > a_l - 10^-n, but also a_j - a_l < 10^-m, so b_i > a_j - 10^-m - 10^-n for any n, j so b_i >= a_j - 10^-m. I'm not sure how to prove the other side of the inequality or the last statement.

Title: Precision Deflection of Electron Beams Using Synchronized Laser Pulses for Trajectory Analysis
Abstract

This study proposes an experimental setup for precision deflection of electron beams using synchronized laser pulses. The experiment aims to explore the dynamics of electron trajectories by inducing a controlled 5-degree deflection and analyzing the resulting paths using a combination of field emission electron microscopes and high-intensity lasers. The primary objective is to achieve detailed mapping of electron interactions within a controlled environment, facilitated by advanced synchronization between the electron emission and laser activation to ensure minimal interference and maximum accuracy.
Introduction

Electron beams, traditionally used in microscopy for imaging at atomic scales, possess potential for detailed physical interaction studies when manipulated with electromagnetic fields. Recent advancements in laser technology allow for precise control over these interactions. This experiment leverages these technologies to induce specific deflection angles in electron beams, facilitating novel investigations into electron dynamics and beam manipulation techniques.
Materials and Methods
Electron Beam Generation

Electron Source: 36 field emission electron microscopes are arranged in a circular configuration around a central target, each configured to emit electrons at 30 keV. Field emission is chosen for its ability to produce sharp, well-defined electron beams suitable for precise interaction studies.
Pulse Modulation: Electron emissions are modulated using RF cavities to produce short pulses with durations matching those of the laser pulses, estimated to be in the picosecond range.

Laser System

Laser Configuration: High-intensity lasers are synchronized with the electron pulses. Each microscope is equipped with a vertically oriented laser designed to deflect the electron beam by 5 degrees.

Title

Mapping the Natural Path of Orbiting Electrons Using Directed Electron Beams and High-Precision Detection Systems
Abstract

This experiment aims to determine the trajectories of orbiting electrons within atoms by employing a sophisticated arrangement of electron beam generators, laser systems, and multi-channel plates for detection. The setup is designed to probe the electrons with minimal disruption, allowing for an accurate mapping of their natural paths based on the trajectory changes induced by controlled electron beam interactions.
Introduction

Understanding the precise behavior of electrons within atoms is fundamental to advancing our knowledge in quantum mechanics and materials science. Traditional methods often disturb the natural electron paths significantly. This experiment proposes a novel approach by utilizing a minimal interference technique to maintain the integrity of the electron orbits during observation.
Experimental Setup

Electron Beam Generators:
Quantity: 36 strategically placed around a central target.
Distance from Central Object: 10 meters.
Function: Each generator emits electron beams aimed at a central object, with the intent to probe orbiting electrons without significant energy transfer.

Laser System:
Configuration: Lasers are positioned to intersect the paths of the electron beams shortly after emission.

Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>
Catching Mechanism:
Material: Lead shielding.
Distance from Central Object: 5.5 meters.
Purpose: Positioned to absorb deflected electrons, preventing them from interfering with subsequent measurements.

Methodology

Procedure: Electron beams are fired in an attosecond pulse, interacting minimally with the target's orbiting electrons. Immediately following this pulse, the beams are deflected by lasers into the catching mechanism. The initial, undisturbed path of the electrons is captured by the MCP detection apparatus.
Data Collection: The MCPs record the precise impact points of the electrons, and these data are used to infer the natural trajectories of the orbiting electrons based on the deviations observed.
Analysis: Advanced computational algorithms analyze the spatial data to reconstruct the electron paths, taking into account the known delays and deflections introduced by the experimental setup.

Challenges and Limitations

Technical Precision: Achieving the required synchronization and precision in electron and laser timing is critically challenging and requires cutting-edge technology.
Detector Sensitivity: The high sensitivity of MCPs is essential but also makes them susceptible to damage or interference, requiring careful handling and calibration.

Expected Outcomes

The experiment is expected to provide unprecedented detail on the behavior and position of electrons within their orbitals, potentially leading to significant advancements in atomic physics and related disciplines.

I have a non autonomous ODE [math]\dot{\mathbf{x}} = A(t)\mathbf{x}[/math]
which has the following solution
[eqn]
\mathbf{x} = \left(I + \int_{t_0}^{t}\mathrm{d}\xi_1A(\xi_1) + \int_{t_0}^{t}\mathrm{d}\xi_1\int_{t_0}^{\xi_1}\mathrm{d}\xi_2A(\xi_1)A(\xi_2) + \cdots\right)\mathbf{x}(0)\quad.
[/eqn]
This series converges as long as
[eqn]
\int_{t_0}^{t}\mathrm{d}\xi \rvert\rvert A(\xi)\rvert\rvert < \infty\quad.
[/eqn]
After a certain time we have [math]\rvert\rvert A(t)\rvert\rvert = 1[/math], which means the series will not converge at infinity (I guess). But if I plot the phase space for the equation I get pic related. The different trajectories account for different initial conditions. The matrix [math]A(t)[/math] here is
[eqn]
A(t) =
\begin{pmatrix}
0 & 1\\
-e^{-t^2} & 0
\end{pmatrix}\quad.
[/eqn]
So, how can I interpret the phase space knowing that the series diverges at infinity? This is an non autonomous simple harmonic oscillator
>>
>>16145511
this is different from your first formulation because it's p mod q instead of k mod n. For instance his counterexample of k=2 and n=3 does not work because it does not have this relationship. It would be 2-2=(6 mod 3)/3 which is correct. So it would be more apt to say [math]k-\left \lfloor{k}\right\rfloor=(p\mod q)/q[/math] when k=p/q
>>
>>16145555
or if p=kq, then [math]k-\left\lfloor{k}\right\rfloor=(kq\mod q)/q[/math] where kq mod q is only nonzero whenever k is not an integer

>After a certain time we have ∣∣A(t)∣∣=1, which means the series will not converge at infinity (I guess)
uh, no? Guy, have you tried evaluating the integral? It's somewhat common. The determinant is \exp^{-t^2}. Set t_0 and t to -\infty and \infty, respectively. That's just the \sqrt{\pi}. The determinant is always positive, so ur integral is always less than \sqrt{\pi}. Looks like it should always converge.

Retard here, please bear with me.

I was in a physics class and we were told
I = V/R intensity = voltage/resistance
P = I * V power = intensity * voltage
E = P * T energy = power * time

Then I remembered: momentum is the force integral with respect to time, and kinda saw something similar here. Then I wrote
I = V/R
P = ∫ I * dv
E = ∫ P * dt
E = ∫ ∫ I * dv * dt
She told me this was wrong and idk if I have to rethink my intuition.

Medical science isnt real. Its demons all the way down. Yk mental illnesses connect you to other realms:

Autism: spams you with information from all realms. Sometimes makes brain better at handling information.

OCD: serves your brain things that could have happened (related dimension). The brain wrongfully thinks this will happen if you dont do something.

Shizophrenia: positive: false truths recieved from different dimensions negative: energy sucked into those dimensions

Bipolar: alternation between recieving energy from place 7 and getting it taken away from place 4. more on places on /x/ soon.

So anyway there are 2 types of "medication":

T1: every demon gets in and starves after a certain amount of time

T2: the first demon you eat while not having that demon-species in you gets in, the others get tpd back. The demon eats the now empty "meds" (T2s contain food for the journey) if youre still trying to eat "meds" and if you stop he starves.

There are multiple demon types (that each have many species!) that belong in the "meds" catagory:

Anti psychotics: (T2)
The demon tries to block the connection using magic which has many side effects
