The more one gets educated about those fields of hard science the more fucked up once sense of self gets
First you learn the earths literally made of trillions of dead bodies and radioactive rocks
Then you learn the human mind is the byproduct of electrical signals that can shut off or reprogrammed by anything at any time that when terminated ultimately defines the true definition of death
Then you learn that if a single eruption like yellow stone went off nearly all land based life would cease but the earth would repair itself in a few thousand to millions of years seemingly completely unaffected as if nothing happened

And this stupid list of existential world ending shit just keeps going, why is it like this

> The more one gets educated about those fields of hard science the more fucked up once sense of self gets
A lot of people here are extremely ignorant about hard science tbh
> First you learn the earths literally made of trillions of dead bodies and radioactive rocks
Technically correct, the part of the Earth inhabited by living things is a very thin layer, even the fossil record is only about 1-10% of the entirety of the Earth
> Then you learn the human mind is the byproduct of electrical signals that can shut off or reprogrammed by anything at any time that when terminated ultimately defines the true definition of death
If you get even deeper into science you start to realize that death and living/non-living things are quite hard to define, because while we know what they look like at the end of the day living organisms are emergent properties of non-living things and non-living things themselves can be easily influenced to act life-like
At the deepest level you start to realize that the deepest layer of reality is physics, chemistry is an emergent property of physics and biology is an emergent property of chemistry
> Then you learn that if a single eruption like yellow stone went off nearly all land based life would cease but the earth would repair itself in a few thousand to millions of years seemingly completely unaffected as if nothing happened
If Yellow Stone popped off life on North America would be fucked but the rest of the planet would be affected way less
> And this stupid list of existential world ending shit just keeps going, why is it like this
There is no why, it simply is

And I promise you, cosmology and physics are infinitely more mind-bending than biology and geology
While biology and geology will make you question your significance and the significance of mankind, cosmology and physics will show you ideas and concepts that the human mind can theorize about but cannot actually comprehend or visualize

I’m aware about how big the universe is and how are dense of scale is based of radiation left behind by light

There’s no way to know how big the universe actually is some predict it’s 50 billion light years, other suggest it goes on infinitely and none of that gets into how the universe started because the Big Bang theory is still just a theory that has yet to be confirmed as the past 30 years have revealed that there are hundreds to thousands of fundementa particles with physics barely anyone understands that conflict with said bang theory

 No.656826

>>656823
Have you actually read or watched anything about Big Bang cosmology?
“Just a theory” is never a response to a scientific theory, because, just as Marxism is not a religion claiming to hold universal truth, neither is science. Science stops at theorizing because scientists do not claim to hold a universal truth. They are called theories because they can technically be proven wrong, thus far I have not seen anything that conflicts the overwhelming evidence of cosmic inflation, an incomplete understanding of subatomic physics =/= big bang cosmology is wrong

 No.656829

>>656826
I know it’s a mutually agreed on theory because it works with most models of current physics but does fail at times when documenting concepts like anti matter not immediately destroying all potential for the universe to even start

 No.656841

The answer is simply that there was slightly more matter in the universe than antimatter, there were never even amounts, what remains is 1% of all matter that originally existed

And remember that anti-matter is, effectively, just matter with the opposite electric charge to matter we know of i.e. an anti-proton is negatively charged instead of positively charged, it isn't anything especially wild, antimatter rocks to a human eye would look identical to normal rocks

These questions are quite daunting, the universe is a massive place, humans are plainly not an important part of it

Everything OP has mentioned is an inevitable consequence of knowledge, you truly believe scientists don’t struggle in this way? They just don’t focus on the philosophical side to these things.

The explanation is fairly simple. The human brain was not evolved to be a generalized problem-solver but a specialist that excels at navigating our ecological niche which is defined by sociality and tool use. The human brain was not evolved to understand quantum mechanics or the deep complexities of biological systems. The smartest of us are able to get some understanding of these things, but it is a struggle even for geniuses and knowlege must be painfully wrought from a pervasive fog of mystery and confusion.

From the standpoint of pure reason, perhaps these dense subjects are not "objectively" hard to understand. It's that our brains have to force themselves into adopting an awkward andc counterintuitive framework of concepts which are not native to us. And we are not specialized to understand them, so it requires tremendous cognitive effort and labor to truly understand.

Yet it clearly happened that some humans understand quantum physics and modern biology, so it does happen to be the case that human brains have evolved to be such generalized problem-solvers. In fact, it couldn't be otherwise: both quantum physics and modern biology are themselves products of the uniquely human encounter with nature. That isn't to say that there's nothing external "in the world," but that the theoretical constructions are products of humans as tool-using animals and the human brain as a "generalized problem-solver."

I think his point is that humans can understand these things factually, but their minds cannot comprehend them
For instance, humans can understand the idea of infinity, but could not really imagine it
Humans can understand the idea of the big bang and the Universe as 2-Dimensional, they cannot actually visualize these things

I think Lovecraft actually understood this concept well, things that are factually true but beyond what a human brain can actually imagine
Just think of UV light, objectively real, but we cannot see it

 No.657357

>>657331
>For instance, humans can understand the idea of infinity, but could not really imagine it
We can imagine infinity as encapsulated in self-contained concepts of the infinite that allow for theoretically "infinite" extrapolation. In a sense, it's true we can't imagine a certain infinity, like 1, 2, 3…, but by positing the rule underlying the infinite set, we do have the concept of the whole of the infinite in imagination, even without extrapolating the infinite in its serial totality in imagination.
>Humans can understand the idea of the big bang and the Universe as 2-Dimensional, they cannot actually visualize these things
You can find visualizations of both from an internet search. These visualizations could be called incomplete and flawed, at least compared to an ideal perspective "sub specie aeternatis," but no such perspective actually exists for comparison, and the very ideas we have of these "eternal perspectives" are derivatives from the actual understanding we now possess of them, from theorizations of our own practical undertakings in the process of scientific inquiry.

Nice pussy

Big, but not too big

appropiate length

A 69 (nice)° angle

Eh, could trim the hairs a bit but we’ll work on it

Yep… I’d say that’s a pretty great pussy

I rate it… a good 85/100

Good job, sis.
