Actually, the distance doesn’t do weird things. If you traveled at slow speeds (up to like several thousand kilometers per second) time dilation and length contraction would still be negligible and your timing of how long the journey took would mostly line up with someone on Earth.

But if you’re traveling a significant fraction of the speed of light those effects become non-negligible. That’s where our normal understanding of a universal notion of objective time and distance breaks down.

The equations of special relativity are actually very approachable if you know algebra, you should play around with them and plug in some numbers!

100000 years from an outside perspective, but because of time dilation you could make it take arbitrarily little time from your reference frame.

You can’t see water either, only its effects on light that goes to your eyes

Point 2 is covered by having a control group and point 3 seems to be missing the point: well yeah, don’t take the conclusion too far, but that doesn’t mean measuring arousal is bad science.

Bigger issues are low sample size (as you mentioned) and the fact that it’s a correlational study that hasn’t done any work to causally link them.

I’ve seen e^{d/dx}

The message I got was that the system’s to blame for making this the equilibrium point

Negative temperatures are actually hotter than all positive temperatures, you’re experiencing population inversion

We still have jokes and common knowledge about being sent to the psych ward if you reveal anything weird about your mind. I’ve heard stories only a few years old of doctors refusing to refer trans patients to gender clinics, which quite often means either needing to circumvent the system or death. Only last year I had the revelation that doctors are supposed to help me, not just tell me what I must do.

You can’t expect and accept that power is distributed unequally if you’re dead, I guess

“hitting yourself” is referring to self interactions I think

100 billion transistors

I don’t even live near any of my relatives, and anyone I would help would be about as related to me as any other human (so, not related). Perhaps in another time period I would’ve helped my tribe, but that is not the society I live in today.

Not that it really matters here, because I have no obligation to help genes.

I don’t try to propagate my genes ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

They seem to be focusing on CO2. Trees in cities are going to capture a negligible amount of CO2 and for relatively high cost versus doing things outside a city. The point of trees in cities is shade and looking nice (good for mental health). Liquid trees solve neither of those.

Or they’re autistic and felt compelled to pedantically correct something technically false. I’m guilty of doing that too.

over fitting, but people

Scattered and Lost…

I also just like making others happy

I wasn’t and I’m now trans, checks out
