    What is the area of the right-angled triangle with hypotenuse 10 and altitude 6?

    Sorry, this was stupid idea, not amusing.:redface: It is from V.Arnold http://ilib.mccme.ru/pdf/VIA-taskbook.htm"

    What is the area of the right-angled triangle with hypotenuse 10 and altitude 6?

    Aaaaahhhhaaa! Got you.:rofl: You are wrong, such a triangle with hypotenuse 10 and altitude to hypotenuse 6 does not exist. 24 is the correct answer. This is another http://golem.ph.utexas.edu/category/2007/06/more_mysteries_of_the_number_2.html" Oooohhhh.

    What is the area of the right-angled triangle with hypotenuse 10 and altitude 6?

    Of course not, it is a standart test.:biggrin: Why not 30, tell me? Area of a triangle equals half product of altitude by base side

    What is the area of the right-angled triangle with hypotenuse 10 and altitude 6?

    In a right-angled triangle hypotenuse equals 10, altitude equals 6. What is the area of the triangle? Answers: 60, 30, 24, 16

    Parallel Universes: Everett vs M-Theory

    I've made transcript of the whole dialog, like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laugh_track" , very funny:biggrin:. "Gauge redundancy"?:eek:

    Parallel Universes: Everett vs M-Theory

    Susskind's cool idea Look, guys, what I've heard http://www.fields.utoronto.ca/audio/05-06/strings/discussion/" (it is Strings2005 panel discussion about the next superstring revolution. I was very curious to know what string theorists look like:biggrin:, everyone is very merry, many jokes...

    Edward Witten researching non-string LQG-like quantum gravity

    I thought that maybe Witten is going to merge String theory and LQG, that maybe he will cook up something like spin foam representation of String theory, this is what I wanted to ask for.:redface:

    Edward Witten researching non-string LQG-like quantum gravity

    is there a LQG landscape?! Sorry for my dilettantish curiousity.:redface: But isn't everything like I was asking https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=171673". Loop quantum gravity is more fundamental than string theory. Look at the picture. What is this quantum foam? Isn't it made...

    String theorists, I have a question about moduli stabilization and compactification

    eh? :biggrin::redface: http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0702220" Cosmological Moduli Dynamics Brian Greene, Simon Judes, Janna Levin, Scott Watson, Amanda Weltman (Submitted on 28 Feb 2007 (v1), last revised 4 Jun 2007 (this version, v2)) Low energy effective actions arising from string...

    Phase transitions of space-time?

    Oh! Indeed. I am recalling that http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0401049" . To setAI: Here's another thing about computers from http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0602266" He points to [1] http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0412187"

    Phase transitions of space-time?

    Generalized number theory?! Mmm. (I am scratching my head) :confused: :uhh: Sorry, Fra. I am completely confused by what you are saying.:biggrin:

    Phase transitions of space-time?

    I just wanted to say, that all these bubbling nucleating universes, what is it that thing which is "boiling", is it quantum foam or what? And there is no explanation why it is "boiling", right? Mmm.:redface: Thanks, setAI. I am trying to understand Scott Aaronson's...

    Phase transitions of space-time?

    Thanks for the links :biggrin: In other words you said that it is me who is limited in computational power but not a quantum computer. :confused: This statement confuses me, have you looked at Scott Aaronson's blog, he says that probably quantum computers will not be able to solve NP complete...

    Phase transitions of space-time?

    Listen. I was watching Lenny Susskind's http://www.geocities.com/borisleykin/susskind/susskind.htm" What he said: This process of eternal inflation it looks obscure incomprehensible to me. How does it work exactly? So when I saw these Calabi-Yau crystals... This is it, right? Quantum foam...

    Phase transitions of space-time?

    http://cerncourier.com/main/article/44/4/17" Does a melting crystal provide the key to developing a quantum description of gravity? Advances at the first Simons Workshop point to a connection. Is it like I imagine or what I just can't get that. :confused: :redface: :biggrin: Why haven't...
