Soif the answer makes no sense, that means the unconscious is working? Does that mean the unconscious isn't working if the answer makes sense? Or does it just mean you'll think it works no matter what happens? I guess I'll give up the guitar and start practising this.

It's kind of like trying to graph complex function, I guess... you can take paths on a 2-D graph and map them onto another 2-D graph. when I try to visualize a fourth dimension, I think of looking on our 3-space from a viewpoint outside of it... so you could see everypoint in our 3-space, inside and out. I don't know how our eyes would handle that, being three dimensional and seeing only two dimensions. It would be kind of like trying to visiualize a 4-space on a 2-space.

yeah, I think any 2D representation would be too jumbled to make sense. I'm not even sure we could comprehend a 3D version, because our brains have just never experienced 4D vision.
-
I think we're looking for a forth spacial dimension though. Very hard to visualize. I imagine there would be cylindrical (hyper-cylindrical?), spherical (cylindro-spherical?), and hyper-spherical coordinate systems possible in a four dimensional space

Instant 'After-images' on the Retina?
Connor replied to Synthesis's topic in Anatomy, Physiology and Neuroscience
yeah, but most people can't actually see well in the dark, pick out objects and whatnot (like me, always tripping over crap). Some people however, can see pretty good in the dark because of infrared radiation. This was discovered in some military folk who didn't need night vision goggles. that's awesome about your teacher's teacher by the way -

Connor replied to Synthesis's topic in Anatomy, Physiology and Neuroscience
about seeing in the dark... some people (not sure of the exact proportion, but at least 1%) have a slightly extended range of vision, and can see some infrared radiation. -
there are severe side effects to sleep deprivation. We definately need sleep.

Once again, if anything occurs, I believe it can be explained by chance and our predisposition to recognize non-existant patterns. This is far from an objective experiment.

Synchronicity; meaningful cooincidence
Connor replied to sunspot's topic in Psychiatry and Psychology
I'd love to see a verifiable experiment. I'd like to see what you come up with. -

Connor replied to sunspot's topic in Psychiatry and Psychology
exactly In established scientific theory, the patterns are verified and analyzed in an objective manner. This does happen in pseudosciences. -
Using Bacteria as a Symbiotic Hunter
Connor replied to Ethereal's topic in Microbiology and Immunology
yeah, seems like a virus may be better suited to hunt bacteria -
I've seen devices like it before that are very sturdy... a lot sturdier than bendy lamps or anything like that. It was very heavy and made of thick steel
-
you could construct a rigid bodied device with six degrees of freedom, three sliding joints and three rotational joints. This would allow you to reach any orientation in the space it can reach.

I would just check what's on the BC that's not on teh AB and study that on your own. The test isn't that hard, if you know the material. No hard integrals or anything, they're just making sure you know the basics.

I suggest applying to variety of good schools. There are internet searches, like at college board to help find schools that are good in particular fields. My school has a subscription to TCPI that has a good search function...
-
one good thing about that site, it has cool things that follow your cursor around. yep.
-
okay, I guess you don't have to change the limits if you substitute the original variable back after integration
-
no, there is absolutely no number between .999... and 1 they are mathematically equivilant, as can be seen with Krz's proof 1) [math]x=.999...[/math] 2) [math]10x=9.999...[/math] [math] x= .999...[/math] 3) [math]10x-x=9.999... - .999...[/math] [math]9x=9[/math] [math]x=1[/math] no logical fallicies
-
right, makes sense I can see how it would be a real bore to try to figure it out
-
well, it's not a Caesar cypher, but I'm sure some sort of letter replacement program could be helpful
-
huh? oh, sorry, I'm real busy, but I'll take a look at it... eventually...
-
no, because you must substitute the dummy for the limits too
