Quad tens must beat. Both players must use their two hole cards. In texas holdem you're dealt two cards and after several rounds of betting you make a 5 card hand from your two "hole" cards and 5 community cards. An example of a bad beat is if player one(P1) is dealt 10h/10c and player two...

I get what you're asking, thank you for the great question, I was wrong, x could be a set, but by including it in set notation, you're automatically wrapping it another set, so no matter what, x != {x}.

x∈ { x }, but x != { x } because x isn't not a set and equality is defined for set comparison, but not a non-set to set comparison.

I'm a layman, but it sounds like your saying outside the cosmological horizon of our universe, it's like a thermal state similar to a black hole, so our universe is on the boundary of a holographic screen.. If I'm completely off, I'll just back to lurking and I won't interrupt the adults who are...

Well when you think of it, all the forces have to be related, because they're interacting with each other and constantly affecting the values of the forces. The more precise you need to , the greater the effect. A single unified force is just a higher dimensional aggregate version of separate...

Don't you think physics gives concrete examples of this, i.e. the system describing it's own limitations. Jon Baez talk about the state of maximum ignorance in http://golem.ph.utexas.edu/category/2010/11/stateobservable_duality_part_3.html. Cosmological/particle/black hole horizons put a...

Entropic theory, Category math, Relative Relativity, CERN, and new communication channel such as blogs, forums and whatever is on the interwebs. **** is just getting interesting imo.

Yes! Supersymmetry predicts the existence of twice as many particles as there currently are in the standard model. These particles are called superpartners. The super partner of neutral bosons, called the neutralino, is the leading candidate for dark matter. I love how you conceptualized...

These proofs of geometry are relative, not absolute proofs. Also, simple systems isolated from interference can indeed be proven consistent and complete. But as soon as things need more robustness, I think that's where Godel's theorem kicks in. Regardless, physicists seem not give flying fart...

Awwww :(. After reading this paper it seems like a big knock against Penrose and his search for low variance circles; and I really like the idea of Cyclic Cosmology. BTW that HEALPix software looks sweet. It reminds of the bit maps embedded on black holes which are suppose to represent the...

Causal means that that time is included in the Dynamical Triangulation. I think the arrows of time are encoded into each simplex by a discrete time variable, t. As the simulation runs (space evolves) the simplices are glued together to create space. Only simplices that are casually...

Hmm, i like that. My personal opinion is only when an observer interacts with a line and has there own biased constraints do you get a result that is valid for the current moment. Other then that you only have probabilities for future past, it's when you interact with things now will you get an...

Woot, there are some power-players here! Glad to see Lisi and Smolin collaborating. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you QSA, a very enlightening post. QSA, does your theory include the math behind everything you just wrote? I'm not sure...

Yah, I'm highly interested as well. It'd be nice to have some laymen's explanation while I'm on journey of mastering the math behind it.
