Proposed Q&A site for hunters, target shooters, personal defense carriers, gunsmiths, gun enthusiasts, and all other firearms questions.

Currently in definition.

In the scientific community (and much of the secular world) there are many who adopt an outlook whereby one need not believe anything which cannot be demonstrated using the scientific method. i.e. it must be repeatable through experiments and explained through cause/effect scientific principles. ...

I'm not sure what you mean by "the Torah" knowing. The Torah was given from Hashem, and He is obviously aware of how He made the world. The Torah won't be saying something that is not true. Therefore, it can't be saying something that is the opposite of true scientific discovery. As far as if al...

Especially regarding quantum indeterminacy. Adding a bit more info as requested. "God does not play dice", I quote Einstein. He said those words when in an argument with another scientist that was in support of quantum mechanics while he, himself wasn't. He proposed that there was a hidden var...

A Boltzmann brain is a hypothesized self-aware entity that arises due to random fluctuations in the quantum vacuum. Does Islamic theology allow for this interpretation of Allah? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_brain

One of the foundations of modern quantum mechanics is the Uncertainty Principle. This principle is not an assumption, but rather is derived from assumptions made with regard to the structure of nature. The basic statement of the Uncertainty Principle, however, is that it is impossible to know the...

What are the similarities between modern physics/quantum physics and Buddism? Although i know little about this, like Budha said that conciousness creates everything, emptyness and dependent origination kind of things. What are other things that matches with what modern science is saying?

I'm a Theoretical physicist rather than that I am a Hindu.These days, I'm on my research on Quantum Entanglement. This simply says that "An event at one place can instantaneously event at another place arbitrarily far away faster than light" On my quest on my research I saw this verse in Vishnu S...

I'm looking for game mechanics and story telling methods that convey the atmosphere that characters don't just live in one world, but in a multiverse adhering to something similar to the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. This should in particular imply that if a character's action ...

Here is a piece of C++ code that seems very peculiar. For some strange reason, sorting the data miraculously makes the code almost six times faster. #include <algorithm> #include <ctime> #include <iostream> int main() { // Generate data const unsigned arraySize = 32768; int data[arr...

Consider the octonions $\mathbb O$ and in particular their imaginary part $\operatorname{Im}\mathbb O$. Let $(-,-)$ be the scalar product induced by the identification of the imaginary octonions with $\Bbb R^7$. Furthermore, define the cross product of (any) octonions by $x\times y:= \frac{1}{2}(...
