Another example: consider the function ##f(x)=x^2##, whose graph is a parabola opening upwards, with its vertex at ##(x,y)=(0,0)##. For...

In fact, it was once thought that flying can be curative...

PS I've shown two points on the wave (P and Q) at times 0 and 1.

That's not two graphs! This is what the graphs of ##y = x## and ##y = x-1## look like.

PS the same goes for a Moon Base. Who is going to make that a commercial priority? If and when that happens is impossible to predict.

The problem is that no one knows how fast technology in a certain area will develop. Extrapolating from the past is not possible...

It's a rightward moving wave for ##v > 0##. At ##t =0##, the wave takes the form of ##y = f(x)##. Choose a function ##f##. Something...

Maybe the Moon would make a good penal colony, like Britannia's Botany Bay, or Van Diemens Land in Australia, or France's Devil's Island...

The poll question could be a trick question and actually be about radical expansion of the human lifespan. :wink:

This is where we were before 1976: By that logic we should be on Mars by now.

What do you mean? We'll suffocate if we fly too high! Anyway, I voted no. Mars is nigh on impossible. The moon is possible, but...

I agree with this.

Unless you are proposing some supernatural or divine component, then it's all just atoms and molecules following the dumb rules of...

I'm missing your point here. You think that there is some unknown component in the brain?

Hmmm. I would think that any subject bound by a set of rules would be a fine candidate for AI. The sociological and philosophical stuff...
