@Maltysen I actually didn't know anything about tensors, but I just did some reading on wikipedia. Metric tensors are by definition symmetric bilinear forms, and we use them to measure "angles" like with a scalar product. If it was not symmetric, the angle between a and b would be different from the angle between b and a, but this would be very inconvenient, would it? And if it wasn't symmetric that would mean that the induced norm could have negative values, which is also quite inconvenient.

That is probably why it is defined that way=)

Nathan Merrill

all you guys talking about tensors makes me want to read Brandon Sanderson

I used to wonder if they had computers in heaven and why we couldn't talk to them when I was younger

@MitchSchwartz Maybe you should ask on Christianity.SE

I once asked in a large class if there would be co-creation in Heaven. Apparently a lot of students heard "procreation".

@PhiNotPi I feel like this should be funny, but I only understand half the joke (the "Wallace and Grommit" reference)

"Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" is the name of a movie

Nvm. I was reading it as "Comet"

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

Bats for Halloween Background As you may have seen from my last challenge I quite like what I term as ascii art animations, that is not just draw a pattern but draw a pattern that develops. This idea came to me after I was asked a couple of years ago to liven up a (rather dull) presentation by ...

Well, that was kinda random. :P Seriously, I can't think of any place where the Bible definitely says one way or the other. That said, the design of Man and Woman, including stuff like the fundamental attributes/tendencies and their typical role in life (i.e., if a child trips and falls, they typically run to Mom, not Dad, since she's the nurturer and caretaker, whereas the father is a protector and provider, stuff like that) is so integral to the Bible and God's creation that I can't imagine that gender would be totally absent in Heaven.

Q: Do we retain our gender in Heaven?

The Bible tells us repeatedly that our earthly actions will impact our ability to enter the gates of Heaven. Some Biblical passages say that our earthly actions can improve or lessen our experience of Heaven if we are in fact lucky enough to reach it. With that being said, I conclude that we mus...

heaven eschatology gender

@mbomb007 That's a similar issue. I can't think of any place where the Bible specifically says that we shall create things like God does in Heaven, but on the other hand, a huge part of our identity as human is that we are creators also (contrast with how Satan and his underlings are described in destructive terms).

Q: Determine if a system is Cashier complete

The Cashier's Algorithm is an algorithm for making change in the minimal number of coins that works quite well for most currency systems. However like most greedy algorithms it is not without its flaws. If a currency system is set up just right (or just wrong) there are certain values in which ...

@El'endiaStarman Yeah, the answer/talk that occurred when I asked that question was essentially that when Adam and Eve were put in the garden, one of their tasks was to develop culture and technology. I think this is something that is normative and will continue in Heaven. Similarly, I think the technology we've created may be seen in Heaven, but without any of our sinful tendencies, purposes, or imperfections present.

Anyways, that's a topic more suited to C.SE

@mbomb007 That's the way I think of technology in Heaven too.

Phew.

Constructing that dictionary for World Time Conversion was a pain.
