PeroK replied to the thread High School Is there anything in the Universe that is not fundamentally made up of matter?.There are underlying concepts in physics and mathematics that have to be understood in themselves. Words are the labels we give them so... -
PeroK reacted to Amazed's post in the thread High School Is there anything in the Universe that is not fundamentally made up of matter? with
Skeptical.
As long as there is a realisation that your theories are not completely correct, then all is well and good. Words are used in... -
PeroK reacted to jack action's post in the thread Is A.I. more than the sum of its parts? with
Skeptical.
It is still a fixed parameter and, once determined, repeating the calculations should yield the same results. If the data and... -
PeroK reacted to DaveC426913's post in the thread Is A.I. more than the sum of its parts? with
Like.
Because the whole point is that it's not about what goes on on the inside; it's about results. If it is so sophisticated that you can't... -

I think this is missing the forest for the trees. The Turing Test does not place conditions on the tester (except that they are human)... -

Good. I am becoming more concerned every day. Many experts are arguing it needs to be treated as a threat on the same level as a global... -
PeroK reacted to Ibix's post in the thread Graduate Regarding Relativity of Simultaneity, is non-local "now" impossible? with
Like.
Is the question "is simultaneity still relative in a universe with a CMB that provides a global clock"? If so, yes it's still relative... -
PeroK reacted to renormalize's post in the thread Graduate Can a causal or time-like structure emerge without assuming a metric? with
Like.
OK, this is a response to the OP's original question about the possible structure underlying classical spacetime. But you then write... -
PeroK replied to the thread Graduate Horizontal component of the electric field of an infinite uniformly charged plane.Suppose we have a sequence of shapes that converge in some geometric sense to a limit shape - bounded or unbounded. That does not imply... -
PeroK reacted to haruspex's post in the thread Graduate Horizontal component of the electric field of an infinite uniformly charged plane with
Like.
I think there are two issues here, a purely mathematical one and a practical one. In the maths, we can model an infinite sheet as the... -
PeroK reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread High School Is there anything in the Universe that is not fundamentally made up of matter? with
Like.
Because they're using different definitions of ordinary language words. That's why we don't do physics using ordinary language. We do it... -
PeroK reacted to renormalize's post in the thread High School Is there anything in the Universe that is not fundamentally made up of matter? with
Like.
Modern physics quite simply views "matter" to be any of the 17 quantum fields that appear in the Standard Model (SM)... -
PeroK replied to the thread High School Is there anything in the Universe that is not fundamentally made up of matter?.It seems to me a bit like saying all the people in the world are men, if we count women and children as part of "mankind".
