That's the weird part - they have some stuff based on experiences, like dropping my kid off at school, and being in a baseball stadium. The missile landing looked similar to an artillery napalm round in Helldivers, but the wedding, the glitter bomb, the baseball stadium my parents in NYC, in a bunker? Yeah not exactly stuff I'm familiar with.

I remember another dream where I was being driven to school as a kid, and giant flying saucers descend from the sky and start firing green lasers into the ground. Or a time in hypnosis where I talked to an Eldritch entity consisting of an eyeball and tentacles that's connected to all of us that is the reason we get stress headaches because we try to pull them off (yeah).

My mind is weird

Totally feel that. Constant stress and anxiety manifesting in mine

 

Ever since I was a kid my dreams have been crazy as hell. Last night, I had a dream where I was dropping my kid off at school, but there were people on both sides of the road standing waiting for a wedding. I see the couple and nope right out. Turning around a curb, suddenly I was in a fucking baseball stadium and rows of seats cut me off. I had to get home so I got out of my car? I'm walking down the stairs when I hear "oh, there it is!" I look up where the person was pointing to the sky. I see some rocket like thing, and assumed it was fireworks. It stopped, I hear three dreaded bomb falling noise, and then it slams into a seat a few rows down from the wedding. I hit the deck because I don't want to die. But instead of exploding it sprays enough glitter throughout the stadium I ended up with a mouth full. Then I get out of there, call my mom, explained what happened, head to their house which is now a bunker in new York City and they refuse to believe what I went through. Then I woke up.

If you have used Matlab, Or R, there is a huge range of data science that only really requires an undergrad in math. Hospitals that run their own Clinical Trials usually have a consistent need.

Really you're eligible for anything statistics related, and there is a lot out there. Some job titles to look for:

  1. Data Scientist
  2. Statistical Analyst
  3. Statistical Programmer
  4. Signal Analyst (this is usually government related)
  5. Data curator

Well, they sort of have to be. They're the janitors. Think Mr. Wolf from Pulp Fiction. They fix problems. Intelligence leaks, missing weapons of mass destruction, and almost certainly disposing of burnt assets.

Bond's psychological profile deems him unfit for intelligence service - but that's not his job. His job is to clean up whatever the intelligence service fucks up. In the beginning of Casino Royale it also states that you have to kill two targets - and as he says after shooting the guy "Yes. That was much easier." (Or something like that). So he's clearly fucked up at that point.

That's kind of a common question amongst the short stories too.

The part that bothers me is that 007 is assigned to Nomi in No Time To Die. So it sort of makes me wonder why they would assign a different name to the same cover?

We do know that M was the same character in Goldeneye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World is Not Enough, Die Another Day, Casino Royale, Quantum Solace, and Skyfall. So James Bond 007 is clearly a code name for that MI6 cleaner.

Idk. I think they just don't explain it because they enjoy that little bit of stuff being confusing as covert stuff should be.

With a cabinet made of billionaires?

Yeah ok what else you want us to smoke

I say it every time this comes up, and it sparks anger, but the movie that did it was Civil War.

Iron Man flinches from a punch Cap throws. A human with peak capable strength does that to the same goddamn dude who took a fucking tank round and just had scorch marks on his armor.

Then in infinity war, the Two stone wielding Thanos frightens Hulk? Bullshit, get out of here. Hulk would have flattened him.

Plus you cannot tell me that Bond didn't survive in that last movie.

It even says "James Bond Will Return" at the end. So like duh, he didn't die

(I know but I really want to believe we're not done with Daniel Craig as Bond)

The math is describing reality - but that's why I highlighted that the math predicted it long before there was experimental evidence.

From what we know about the quantum realm (my physics professor liked using that description, as if it's a whole different existence), it appears that it's actually the opposite: reality is obeying the math. Consider how wild that is - particle interactions are doing what they do because of how mathematics works. Something that we humans came up with to describe observations.

So the way I "understood" the spin-statistics theorem is that it's basically this:

A given particle with a given intrinsic spin has a direct relationship to a collection of the same particles as a consequence of quantum math. Yeah. Just "it's related."

Proving that math is really freaking difficult and you need to use relativistic quantum field theory. I think it was Richard Feynman who said "We apologize for the fact that we cannot give you an elementary explanation."

Actually when I graduated there was another professor (can't remember his name) who was discussing his frustration with how they still can't explain it without all of QFT steps.

Basically, this is where the shared attitude of "the more you know about quantum physics, the more confusing it becomes."

It's a lot more complicated than that even.

Pauli Exclusion Principal is that two or more identical particles of half integer spin cannot occupy the same quantum state. So two electrons in an orbital must be made of a +1/2 and -1/2 spin. This is evidenced by observation, but the prediction was made long before that.

This is because the total wave function for fermions is antisymmetric (bosons, like the photon, are symmetric). It's sort of hard to describe how this works without paper and pen, but essentially there is different formula of solving a wave function. A symmetric wave function is a sum, and an antisymmetric wave function is a difference. The issue arises when you have two identical particles - symmetric functions can be any state as it results in a solution >0. If you have an assymetric function of two identical particles, the result is 0, which isn't a valid state.

The very uncomfortable part of physics is here: when we ask "why" the answer based on the math and the observation is quite literally "because that is the way math works." It's fundamental - just like x * 0 = 0.

As awesome as that is - remember in the movie that the romans just executed all of the survivors of the initial massacre instead.

I'm like 90% certain that the US powers that be would be fine with this, so we might want to think of something slightly better if it comes to this.
