I’d actually be able to teach them how to make it if they have copper and magnets, since I know how to make a simple generator. They’d be SOL on how to use it though, because I don’t know how to make something entirely from raw materials that would require electricity. Which means they also wouldn’t know I am creating it with the generator… 🤔 Uh… Shit.
This is actually kinda wild to think about and I hadn’t considered it before. Making electricity is easy! Using it is actually more complicated.
Making an “ouch” device or basic heater is something I could do.
Even a battery I could make a simple alumium air battery cell. Or lemon battery. But I’d be viewed like a sorcerer asking for foreign ingredients like salt, aluminum, copper and zinc.
Aluminum would be nearly impossible to obtain, it’s actually my preferred grab in a hypothetical “You’re going back in time and can take one thing” situation
You can make a generator… so then stretch wires to a distance and put a motor on the end of it (similar to the generator). Basically blow their minds in that you could transfer power over distance without a mechanical coupling.
Joe Rogan had a good line back before he became… whatever he is now. Anyways, the line is “if I dropped you off on a deserted island, how long before you could send me an email?”
Well you’d need to invent mining, metallurgy, machining, manufacturing, radio waves, computing, computer programming, electricity, and a slew of other technologies that took thousands of years and millions of people to create.
That’s some high IQ usage of a meme. Lemme see if I’m getting this right:
the total area of the image ( = RHS of the equation) is 1
you divide the image into 4 parts so that the area of 1 part is is 1/4 ( = 1/2^(2*1)). You take the first three quarters and leave the fourth quarter for recursion (I’ll call it x1). That gives you 3(1/4) + x1 = 1
now you take x1 and do the same with it. This time, the area of each sub-quarter is 1/16 ( = 1/2^(2*2)). Three such sub-quarters and a leftover x2 gives you 3(1/16) + x2 = x1. Put this back into the first equation to get 3(1/4 + 1/16) + x2 = 1.
repeat until infinity; each time the area of the resulting tile is 1/4 of the previous tile (which is the 2n in the exponent part)
Edit: imma remove all markdown since it doesn’t seem to work, at least on liftoff. Enjoy the lisp-like mess
There is no hard wiring in the brain. It has plasticity, meaning it can adapt to new stimulus. Sure, learning a new language is easier for some than others, but that doesn’t mean you should give up.
