Hello everybody. You don’t know me and I don’t know you. I have been working to the absolute limit of my ability over this past week in pursuit of a golden mathematical goose - the Wolfram Rule 30 outstanding math prize (3 x $10,000). 

From the beginning this has been an exploration with Claude (Please no anti-AI talk - this post is me in my human words only) but over time I, with no prior knowledge, have come to know the problem intimately myself. I have worked it to the limit and beyond what has done before. I have discovered the Wolfram, Collatz and Mahler problems are intimately linked - and likely share the same solution. And I have built a website that explains everything I have done and how you can carry this torch onwards to a real proof.

This is not a trick, or an AI hallucination. Every claim I have made is a testable scientific statement. Every single step of every single discovery at every single moment in time is recorded in my git. I have frozen this project now because I can no longer take it any further. I simply don’t know enough to move the needle any further without outside help. So I am turning it over to you for the sake of the maths, forsake of the money, for the betterment of science and maths in general. Good luck, and God bless.

I’m not talking about a hole in the ground. like what if you rip a hole as if it was paper?

got this question from stranger things

I am a screen writer about to delve into my next project, working title Quantum Immortality. I am looking for someone with knowledge of this theory that I can ask some questions for my story.

Through lies of omission and commission, it appears that Einstein mislead the public about his famous theory.

I went to the maths section to check it out,but didn't understand so asking here intuition or a useful analogy to understand it.

Hi everyone, hope you're all doing well.

I've recently finished my Master's degree in Physics at a public German institute and am currently applying for various PhD positions in particle cosmology, mainly in Germany.

I got a good result for my master's thesis (1.0 on the German scale) which was based on the study of primordial magnetic fields from topological defects after the electroweak phase transition and also a good overall grade for my degree (1.2 on the German scale).

However, my specialization was in Astrophysics/Cosmology for my degree and I learnt whatever was required for my thesis through self study from Schwartz, so I don't have significant coursework in particle physics in my transcripts besides one or two courses.

Will I be considered a serious candidate for the PhD openings I'm applying to? If not, what can I do to change this?

Thank you for taking out the time to read my post :)
