How can a big bang expand to an infinite size?
StringJunky replied to Airbrush's topic in Astronomy and Cosmology
The universe stops fractalizing beyond a certain scale and becomes homogenous. -
Does that mean that travelling at c is an intrinsic property of massless particles for them to exist?

Whale conservationist Ted Cheeseman admits that the huge animals don't patiently pose for photos. Instead, on most whale-watching trips he says "you see 2% of the whale for 2% of the time". Nevertheless, going out in a boat to try to spot a whale remains very popular. An estimated 13 million people go whale watching every year around the world, and the industry is said to be worth $2.1bn (£1.7bn). The humpback whale is the star of the whale-watching business, as it's relatively common and spends time on the surface. Mr Cheeseman also says that the humpback is "very engaging", with the luckiest whale-watchers catching a breach (a jump out of the water) or a flick of the tail. To help people feel a closer connection to each whale, Mr Cheesman's research company, HappyWhale, allows users to upload their photos onto its website. HappyWhale's artificial intelligence (AI) software will then quickly trawl through its database of more than 70,000 different whales with the aim of telling you the exact animal that you were looking at. It can tell you the whale's name, if it has already been given one, or invite you to choose one. And if the whale is one that has been previously recorded it will show you a map of everywhere that it has been sighted. The AI works by using adapted human facial recognition software to identify each whale's uniquely shaped, coloured or marked tail. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-67649177

What are the benefits of understanding our free will?
StringJunky replied to dimreepr's topic in General Philosophy
I'm with you here. It's not a linear process. Sometimes, when one goes especially deep we can lose the sight of the forest. At the micro level, individual processes may be linear and sequential, but zoom out and the story changes to a more complicated one. -
If it's bigger than me; run. If it's smaller than me; eat it or chill.

Is it possible to log my action in Windows?

There is no intention to slander. If someone puts up the means, someone with malicious intent could use it. C'est la vie. -
Difference between Differential And Differentiation
StringJunky replied to HemantChauhan07's topic in Homework Help
... apart from a few extensions to Euclid? And how many extensions to the mathematical corpus have you done? If it was a choice between being stuck on an island with either, Leonardo would be my preferred survival partner. -
TFG or That Florida Guy? Either way, can the GOP win in 2024?
StringJunky replied to Phi for All's topic in Politics
Now there's one that flew over the cuckoo's nest. That's a curveball suggestion that could work. Cheney for pres. Out of all the available options, I would vote for her. She's taken the hardest swings and still standing... and not through blind belligerence either. -

She's chameleonic. -

Keylogging/spy software. We can't help with that stuff because it's too often used with malice in mind. -
