Are Gray Holes next? When a White Hole and a Black Hole merge a Gray Hole will emerge as predicted by the Chromatic Theory of General Relativity.

Consciousness is nothing mysterious. It is the state of the human body to be aware of itself. It's independent of any organs. It has nothing to do with the heart as previously thought or with the brain as is popular now. But it can be

The chance part of the coin flipping comes from the inability of the human hand to adjust the speed of flipping exactly the same everytime. Is this correct? A coin flipped by a robot should land the same side always.

And NYT is locked. They get so much traffic from HN but they don't let us read it. Maybe a deal needs to be negotiated similar to FB and WSJ deal so that HN referrers could read the article.

Obviously an iconic photo but I think NASA ought to put an asterisk to clarify that the earth appears to rise because of the motion of the orbiter. This is clear from the speed of the rise anyway. Knowing this fact would not reduce the valu

> You can make any proof as short as you want. If so why did Wiley choose to write a 200 page proof while he could have stated it in one sentence?
531.
by nyc111 8y ago
That's a possibility. But I still think there must be a more direct proof. A shorter proof that can be understood by anyone who is familiar with Euclid. I believe a proof by using only mathematical methods known to Fermat must be possi
532.
by nyc111 8y ago
A 200 page proof even if it is correct may not be the most elegant proof for this problem since Fermat noted that his proof was too long to fit on the margin. This suggests at most a one page proof. Also I'm curious if it can be proved

No. This advice does not apply to me. I don't want to learn mathematics. I'm more interested in learning parts of mathematics that interest me at the moment. And I think philosophy comes before mathematics. Or mathematics is the p
