    We don't have AI yet or anything close to it, we have pattern recognition and heuristics at very basic levels. It will be another 50-100 years before hardware reaches the point we can build a tard-Human-level AI, but once we pass that point and reach super-Human-level AI it will be able to (and of its own initiative) crack so many fabrication and fundamental physics problems that if it is on our side it will destroy our adversaries overnight and if it isn't will do the same to everyone.

    Perhaps I worded that badly, I meant "teach them at the same time" as in "teach them at all" or "teach them in addition to brainwashing them to be happy little peasants." I don't have major issues with the concept of teaching multiple people at the same time in the context of this topic (though for other reasons, certainly, just now with respect to indoctrinating them to grow into the role of indentured servants, since I find that act itself more deplorable than the mechanisms employed to do it.)

    I got the strong impression that dysfunction was the name of the game of these companies.

    Because it is. Every major city and military base has underground tunnels, there are underground cities in the middle of nowhere, and the Hyperloop is just a system that already exists and they want to monetize - they're all connected already. None of that stuff is officially funded and constitutes the many trillions of dollars of black budget projects - contractors and spying on everyone is a red herring (though the spying likely also helps them in controlling politicians and other potential adversaries.) Musk seems to be a part of that system geared toward monetization of some of those resources out of fear that the funding might stop (e.g. taking billions in government funding to fuel Solar City, Tesla, SpaceX, while publicly "giving" the idea of hyperloop - aka monetization of the already-existing tunnel system while getting support to pay for the tunnels already in place, which will just go to other projects.)

    And, it's government mandated that you put your child into this system one way or another. What's the point of schooling other than to get kids used to being under the thumb of a ruler?

    There is none, that's the reason. The bigger issue is that you teach them at the same time, so everyone grows up thinking they will be a leader or control some vast empire and set out to be what they can for that, only it never happens because in reality hard work gets you a stable income at best - you have to be born into leadership.

  14. This, and I say this as a nerd. Alternatively, get them a real computer (one from the 90's) that they have to routinely work to fix, CAN fix (e.g. not a tablet or anything Apple-related, or even a laptop) and can experience the joys of learning how to deal with electricity the first time. The biggest issue with modern hardware is that if you Apple or Android tablet/phone/other-device fails you can't repair it, even if it doesn't fail you should be able to take it apart and see the consequences of unplugging different wires, or failing to shut it off before opening the case and getting a shock. That's valuable learning material, far more valuable than YEARS of "code.org" nonsense is a single weekend so bored out of your mind you take your computer apart to start poking at it and get a feel for how it works in the process.

    It's an "alternate history textbook" they use in some of the mandatory electives designed to make you read through the whole thing and disregard everything you've read prior. The alternative electives in the same category are things like women's studies and the struggle of minorities in modern society (picked it because it seemed the least politically-charged from the ambiguous description.)

    Minkowski is responsible for SR, Einstein was his lacky and he passed it off to him because he didn't want to tarnish his own name due to the controversial nature of it (there are letters between the two of them which have since been published indicating as much.)

    The scalar components constitute exactly what we would call a "field" today, but the issue is more where they break down over different scales (not as sharp cutoffs, but the rate of decay changes so radically they might as well be.) It's all one force, including electricity, magnetism, gravity, the strong force, the weak force, and infinitely more over different scales we haven't even probed yet - the scales of that force and the modes of travel are what we end up calling many difference forces (since a true scalar field doesn't actually exist when you remove time from the equations and replace it all by distances and magnitudes.) The Heaviside interpretation Lorentz did his work on was a scale-limited version confined to what we're calling the electroweak force now.

    With dielectricity you get magnetism and gravity due to the mode of propagation, which also explains the differences in strength we can get out of the two from the same amount of matter (it spirals out to infinity from a point around the dielectric inertial plane and comes back from an infinite distance in all directions as a hyperboloid stretched to infinity.) When you are very close to that spiral (the hyperboloid that is, the dielectric inertial plane is 2 dimensional and is very hard to get an interaction out of) you can see two separate poles because of the similar rotations (they are spinning the same way as they spiral back in, but depending which side you are looking at that will be clockwise or counter-clockwise,) when those poles lock together you get magnetic attraction and when they move in the same direction so that they can't lock together you get repulsion. It's that spiral of inertia which generates space and time, which are really just the repulsion of a bunch of point sources in 2D, tying themselves into infinite knots in 3D (topologically you can only tie a knot in 3 dimensions using a string-like entity, so while there are likely infinite dimensions and infinite universes, we see one with 3, over which we have time because a 3-dimensional frame is just static.) At larger scales where you don't have that high angular velocity of the dielectricity you get gravity because all of the dielectric lines of force (not actual lines because they are going in all directions at once, but easier to visualize that way) appear to be going in approximately the same direction (toward the massive body, because that 2D dielectric plane interacts very weakly with the 3D universe we observe.) At super-small scales like with the strong force you can get more of a net effect between the faucet-like dielectric inertial planes and the sink-like hyperboloids because they aren't actually point-like (they're close, but all that energy rushing back into the sink gives a sort of expansion to the hole [for lack of a better word] it is rushing back into,) so the dielectric inertial plane has a much larger target it can hit (remember, it's pushing outward and creating spacetime in the process, if it has say 5% [arbitrary number, I've never tried to calculate that part, it's likely more closely related to a ratio of phi, e, or pi - which are all infinite series which represent geometrical modes of decay during inductive and counter-inductive processes] which immediately gets sucked into what is for all intents and purposes a void, then you effectively have an attractive force equal to the force that particle is exerting on the universe to create new space over that angle.) Now think back to the hyperboloid and the dielectric inertial plane and what those two shapes would do when set into a natural configuration: it would form a tetrahedral grid. Buckminster Fuller actually calculated this out based on the concept of a bunch of energy packed into a tight space resulting in the quantum foam

    You're referring to the idea of a static aether we move through and experience drag from, the follow-up experiments Morley did proved the existence of a relativistic aether with strong hints that it is the source of inertia, as I described already.

    Yes, it does explain them because it uses the exact same equations (the aether specific stuff only comes into play when dealing with the scalar components of Maxwell's original quaternion-form equations which Heaviside dropped.) Einstein plagiarized relativity from Lorentz (the critical part to the aether based on Maxwell's work) and Poincare while using Minkowski's interpretation of the two for the theoretical scaffolding. Relativity is just a contextually-restricted subset of aether theory. Add the scalar components back in and dark matter isn't needed.
