There is some really interesting engineering being done in it. https://biggieblog.com/building-arbitrary-life-patterns-in-15-gliders/

just found out that there's a whole ass wiki for this stuff https://conwaylife.com/wiki/

Yay! People who know about this. >>48 Didn't realize there was a wiki for it though LOL. I have a question however: Is it possible for a number of cells in a pattern to increase indefinitely?

>>117 Yes https://conwaylife.com/wiki/Infinite_growth

>>45 I'd say topology is the hardest. and quantum physics has the most potential

>>45 AI and machine learning have been accelerating in recent years.. and it still has the most potential for progress. >>47 I'd say topology is the hardest as well.

idk about hardest I'd say most potential is computational complexity theory, since it's one of the newest fields (and thus there's more 'low-hanging fruit' as it were) and results are already having implications in other unrelated fields (see the MIP* = RE proof for an example).

Is is a copout to say both? Because I *do* find both more or less equally interesting.

>>79 So STEM, English, Humanities are on the same level for you?

>>81 English is less.

While I like math more, and I have more interest in it. I have found English related things more useful in my current life. I hate English subjects, but it is useful for basically everything. Unfortunately

>>87 What's your major if you're having one? I'm majoring in computer science, so math is more important to me With English skills you need, you can easily learn the useful stuff either online or in a basic class. I liked to read growing up, so I definitely like literature, but didn't really like studying it that much.

>Why? makes the theory simpler and makes sense >what would a patch of spacetime with torsion even look like? twists and turns in its geometry making the way things move around depend on the path they take and giving gravity a weird effect on matter

>>85 Are there any computer simulations out there that visualize the effect? I've been looking but can't find any.

Life on Titan? Yeah, there was for a few hours

>>70 I think you forgot the "ic"

>>67 Titan becoming warmer in the future is only a slight possibility It's still being researched because the climate is mostly influenced by methane and ethane (kind of like Earth's water cycle)

>>71 No, The submarine was called "Titan"

read the above wikipedia page the tl;dr is that conditions seem favorable to a certain type of hypothetical life and there is some weird chemistry going on near the surface that isn't easily explained without it

How do switch references affect coherence of sentences that have this feature?

>>33 switch reference markers show if subject in a subordinate clause is the same as the subject in the main clause or a different subject to make sentences more clear

I don't understand can you explain to me in simple english and an example too sorry thank you

>>42 an example: >while he did a thing, he(same person) did another thing vs >while he did a thing, he(different person) did another thing but imagine those parens were case markers

>>43 I see now thank you very much. very intresting

What's the difference between p-adic numbers and real numbers? In terms of their algebraic and topological properties

>>35 I know some values of p contain complex numbers.

It just disappeared, likely due to changes in the environment (river shifts and climate change), and some other stuff. The exact reason is still up for debate tho..

This field of research does seem interesting For those reading this thread too lazy to read: The paper gives an interesting perspective on cooperative relationship between peptides and nucleic acids It shows importance for further experiments to show the early evolutionary processes.

>>21 SlimeGal so cute!

>>25 It's interesting to know the complex ways these tiny molecules shaped the living things we see today >>26 Indeed

Caracals are cute & pretty interesting While they're wild animals I would love to keep one as a pet They're pretty aggressive, but it makes for good house security The ears kind of remind me of bat ears

>>17 El Floppa

An Axolotl which can regenerate lost limbs like its spinal cord, even parts of its heart of brain

Lyrebirds can mimic a large range of sounds like other living beings, but also make mechanical sounds
