Hello@
hey what is up?
I meant to use an exclamation point whoops Not much, just filling out scholarship applications
oh thats boring
I know right But, beggars can't be choosers!
i suppose that is true
What are you up to?
i am just chilling in the library
Are you enrolled this semester?
yeah i am
How's that going?
i have two classes and a weight lifting class its ok
Three classes isn't too bad! What classes are you taking?
i am taking weight lifting music 202 and elementary linear algebra are you taking any?
No, I'm starting again in Fall
oh ok what year are you in?
I'm a sophomore! I transferred from another university though and last semester was my first at BYU
oh what university were you at last time?
northern arizona university
oh that is cool i had a friend who went there
Oh really! How long ago?
like 3 years ago she started
Oh snap, what's her name?
vicky but i cant use last names she has red hair
Hmm don't think I knew a Vicky
oh that is too bad are you excited to meet new friends at byu?
Yeah! I love it there! It's funny though because most of the new friends I made weren't actually BYU students!
thats funny most of them on here arent
Really?? I hadn't noticed that!
yeah there was a big email that went out
I guess everyone wants that macbook
yeah i suppose hahaha
I guess that's why there are thousands of people on now whereas a few days ago it was just a few hundred!
yeah it is crazy where you here before that happened?
Yeah I signed up a few weeks ago
oh wow did you do much last round?
Unfortunately I didn't!
oh too bad are you going to try this time?
I know, yes I am trying to
how have you liked chatting with people? what do you think would happen if robots were created that are as intelligent as humans?
I like it! Lots of different, interesting people! I think it would be scary to have robots as intelligent as humans
yeah i do as well
Kind of like Terminator
yeah they would crush us
Right! That would be so unfortunate Have you heard of that robot AI thing? I just realized that was very general It's called Sophia
interesting
It's very creepy
are you big into ai?
Not really I don't know much about them
oh but sophia is?
I watched a video that someone posted on facebook or something once! It had clips of a bunch of interviews that had been done with sophia1
interesting do you think it is possible for two events to happen at the exact same time?
What do you mean?
like for two things to happen at precisely the same time down to the dot? For example if you and i were to try and clap at the same time would we ever manage to do it?
Hmm well i think it happens all the time but we just don't know about it I think that there's probably someone listening to the exact same song as I am right now at the exact same part I'm on
i think the opposite
You think no two things can happen at the exact same time?
yeah and i think i could prove it mathematically it depends on two facts space and time is divisible into infinitely many pieces also it depends
Interesting theory
on the fact that matter moves through space time continuously without jumping therefore at any given moment in time it is at a different position
You sound like a very smart person
so here is the idea if you clap and i clap instant it happens is a point in time and the instant you clap is a point in time and no matter how close together they appear to happen you can find some arbitrarily small gap between the two and the same goes for space and spans across all time it is interesting and i haven't fully thought of all of the implications but i suppose it is simple enough
But even with billions of people across the world, you don't think there's the slightest chance that two people do the same thing at exactly the same time? I mean your theory sounds super thought out and everything but I don't know I have a hard time grasping scientific concepts sometimes
yeah have you ever taken math 290?
I took a math class back in 2014 at NAU because it was the only math credit I needed for my GE But I can't remember which one it was I think it was just trigonometry or geometry Honestly, I don't remember at all
the one i am talking about is basically all about proofs and we talk about the different orders of infinity
Oh
and it so happens that the world is measured in a higher order of infinity than the natural numbers
That sounds interesting
meaning the numbers you can use to count so if you took all the numbers from 1 to infinity that are integers
I would take that class but not for a grade Just out of curiosity
there are more than infinity times that more numbers in the spectrum of real numbers yeah it is really hard actually now i am in linear algebra
Are you a math major? It sounds like The Fault in Our Stars Like how some infinities are bigger than others
oh interesting i didnt know the fault in our stars talks about that yeah i am a math major
Yeah it says something about how the infinite numbers between 1 and 3 is bigger than the infinite numbers between 1 and 2 Something like that I don't know if that's even mathematically accurate but there ya go
well that isnt true actually the number of numbers between 1 and 2 is the same as the number of numbers between 1 and 3
The idea was cute haha
hahaha yeah movies are funny that way
So what do you want to do with your math major?
someone researches surface level to make it sound smart and they mess things up i want to go into artificial intelligence and developing machine learning algorithms
Yep you are definitely right about that! Ohhh nice! I'm sure you'll be great at that
yeah i hope so it is not easy what is your major again?
Spanish! I can imagine that it's pretty tough
oh wow that is crazy what do you plan to do with it?
I want to teach, but I'm not really sure what to do
what made you decide to do spanish?
I don't know if I want to teach spanish to english speakers or english to spanish speakers Spanish is my first language and while I was on a mission, I felt like I should do something with languages so I picked Spanish! I took German last semester and that was fun but I don't think I want to pursue it So, in fall I'm taking Portuguese
wow so you are multilingual? that sounds like a noble job ultimately i want to improve artificial intelligence and part of that would be developing software to automate and streamline translation
I would say that I'm only fluent in Spanish and English. But I really love learning new languages
i think there are already headphones out that that take what you hear and put it in your native tongue
That sounds awesome!
what do you think it will take to eradicate the crisis we are having with trash? How can we manage to get rid of it all?
Throw it into outer space I'm totally kidding!
hahaha i get it ... i mean thats a good idea but that is expensive
Hahaha I think we need to re-evaluate our products There are numerous alternatives to what we use now
yeah
But people care more about money and profit That's the biggest issue, I think
also i think we need to work on being able to reduce and reuse the things we throw away like creating a bacteria that tears down trash and reorganizes it into its proper elements or perhaps nanites or something
That would be briliiant Isn't there a movie about something like that?
you know i dont know there is a movie called agent cody banks where a similar thing goes on
