    Formula Fourier
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a formula observed on a building in Korea, initially thought to relate to the Fourier number. Participants speculate that the formula could represent the fundamental frequency of a vibrating string or rod. There is a suggestion that it might also pertain to the fundamental frequency of the brick wall, potentially as an inside joke among the architects and engineers. The mention of earthquakes adds context to the interpretation of the formula. Overall, the conversation explores the possible mathematical and architectural significance of the formula displayed.

This is on a building in Korea, and the F0 made me think of the Fourier number, but the rest of the formula is unfamiliar to me. Does anyone recognize it?

It might be the fundamental frequency of the brick wall, a private joke between the architects and engineers, since earthquakes are possible and the "writing is on the wall".

Thread 'Is there a white hole inside every black hole?'

Thread 'Is there a white hole inside every black hole?'

This is what I am thinking. How much feasible is it? There is a white hole inside every black hole The white hole spits mass/energy out continuously The mass/energy that is spit out of a white hole drops back into it eventually. This is because of extreme space time curvature around the white hole Ironically this extreme space time curvature of the space around a white hole is caused by the huge mass/energy packed in the white hole Because of continuously spitting mass/energy which keeps...

Thread 'Is Gravity an entropic property like Surface Tension'

Why do two separately floating objects in a liquid "attract" each other ?? What if gravity is an emergent property like surface tension ? What if they both are essentially trying to *minimize disorder at the interfaces — where non-aligned polarized particles are forced to mix with each other* What if gravity is an emergent property that is trying to optimize the entropy emerging out of spin aligned quantum bits
