  1. Thank you for checking. Right, it doesn't matter if there is not much to show anyway.
  2. We can use math to describe aspects of reality, i.e., of what is out there. But math itself does not depend on what is out there. As somebody said, e.g., a number of prime numbers would be infinite even if Universe were never created.
  3. The truth is that according to quantum mechanics all observed values are real. This is because these values are eigenvalues of Hermitian operators, and there is a theorem in mathematics that all eigenvalues of a Hermitian operator are real.
  4. They lied to you.
  5. Actually, I don't know what a purpose or usage of this number is now. What does it tell and to whom? It surely would be very useful.
  6. Regarding upvoting, only the questions "Was I witty? Insightful? Accurate? Complete? You like me? You agree with me? You caught my reference to Seinfeld?" from the list apply. These nuances aren't really important, IMO, and often are clear from the content of a marked post. They all mean, "Good point." One will elaborate in a comment if they want people to know what specifically they liked.
  7. No, I don't see it.
  8. This division into two classes will be only temporary.
  9. Yes, but, (1) I'm interested in the breakdown of not only my posts, but some posts of other members, and (2) the reactions are often spread over time and don't appear as one count in the notification. Seeing who voted positively has two advantages: (1) members often post a one-line comment just to let know that they up-voted some post; this would be not needed, (2) as an extreme example, if JohnPBailey has upvoted my post, I would check what is wrong about it. So, the data are there. It is only a matter of displaying some of them.
  10. Having two separate counts, certainly. Seeing who positively marked, depends.
  11. I am really glad that a "soul" who thinks this way is not eternal and immortal. -1
  12. OK. How about having two separate counts? Seeing who pos repped?
  13. I think it would be useful, helpful, and meaningful to have separate counts for positive and negative reactions on a post, rather than their sum. Also, to see lists of users who gave these positive and negative marks.
  14. Good waste management services. Also, regulating packaging, single-use items, etc., i.e., what makes litter. People litter less in areas which are clean and more where it is already littered. But they will litter anyway.
  15. I'm talking about time coordinate that appears in a space-time metric.
  16. Apology accepted. Perhaps I should've clarified that the "point" I've mentioned is a "point in time".
  17. I said nothing about before BB, nothing about starting of space, and didn't imply "tiny" or "outside".
  18. I said nothing about nowhere. I said nothing about the size, either.
  19. Space existed at the time of BB (the "~10-43" point). The BB has happened everywhere in that space.
  20. Alan Guth has it put this way:
  21. What I tried to point out was that AFAIK people don't hallucinate about things in which they don't believe.
  22. Since you are not a believer, the voices in your head would not be those of God but rather of your neighbors, FBI, maybe aliens (if you believe in them), etc.
  23. I guess we could call a nuclear DNA, 'software', and all the rest involved in the process, 'hardware'. (Ignoring for simplicity mitochondria and various microbes which are absolutely necessary for the organism to develop and to function and which have DNA of their own.)
  24. Sure, it does. Of course, it can. There is no issue with these.
  25. This is right. The weight is electrical grounding. No questions here.
