Again you put the cart before the horse. Everything you just described is based on our human understanding of ways to describe the universe.
Nononono…!
Our understanding of things is the only thing we have. If I don’t understand a thing it still exists.
But if I do understand a thing and can represent it, I can prove it exists and that my understanding is correct. C’mon.
And the very fact that we do understand the mathematical nature of things proves that they do in fact exist.
Yes there is some kind of order because as you said, without it there’s just chaos. But that doesn’t mean much.
Are you serious? You agree that order in the universe exists and then claim that is unimportant to the existence of everything? You may want to reconsider that statement.
We use fancy symbols and arbitrary tricks that we call math to describe things. But that doesn’t mean the universe somehow subscribes to our tricks. And btw, 1 + 1 does not equal 2, that’s just something that’s true in certain contexts.
Again it is you who is turning this upside down.
First, human mathematics are not a trick. They are symbolizations of what we understand of the mathematical nature of the universal potentials.
A magician does tricks. Are you calling all mathematicians charlatans?
You just insulted the greatest minds in the history of science.
The human symbolization of universal mathematics is the greatest accomplishment of the human mind.
MATHEMATICS IS THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNIVERSE!
Naah, it’s just made up tricks. Being able to count helps with paying for groceries.
I see, context is unimportant! Well, that explains it then. How far down do you want to drag this?
One raindrop plus another raindrop equals one raindrop for example. The volume may double but the context is counting, not volume.
I see, the measurement of volume is an uncountable mathematical equation.
C’mon, please.
And even if you’re talking about volume, there may be instances where volumes aren’t “conserved”. (Obviously this starts to boil down to conservation ideas which evidently aren’t even sacrosanct anymore.) In the end, you’re trying to force fit the way the universe operates into our local/human ways of describing it.
No, you are trying to force-fit human mathematics into the generic mathematics of the universe. Why do you think we are constantly revising human mathematics with our increasing knowledge of universal mathematical functions .
Newton understood a little of universal maths as applied to local conditions, but Einstein improved it to mathematically account for universal conditions.
Just because human mathematics are approximations of what we are able to observe, doesn’t mean that what they describe does not exist.
You just cling to this subjective perspective.
Let go of human maths and look at the constant mathematical regularities in nature.
Note the fractality that governs the mathematical duplication of chromosomal growth instructions
What is mitosis?
Mitosis is a multi-step process that requires the duplication of chromosomes which are then aligned and separated to the opposite poles of a cell in order for the cell to divide to give rise to two new identical daughter cells. Chromosomes that each daughter cell will have are normally replicated during the preceding S phase of interphase s. The interphase is the period before cell division where the cell grows and performs its normal function prior to when a signal will be received to start dividing. There are normally four phases of mitosis which are prophase, anaphase, metaphase, and telophase. The explanation of these four steps will be done below.
A diagram showing the stages of mitosis and what happens at each stage.
What happens during the process of mitosis?
The process begins with Prophase and ends with Telophase and this is best described using diagrams which are shown below. Mitosis, in reality, is a continuous process and it has been divided into steps or stages just to help in understanding it. The mitosis diagrams shown have been simplified so as to make it easy as the number of chromosomes shown are actually many but have been reduced in the diagrams to four. The diagrams you are seeing are showing the nucleus and not the cytoplasm of the cell because the process of mitosis occurs in the nucleus of cells that have the ability to divide.
The chromosomes in plant cells behave in a similar manner as the chromosomes of animal cells, even though the plant cells do not contain centrosomes and a new cell wall always forms between the daughter nuclei after nuclear division. The whole process of mitosis can be viewed or observed using a light microscope.
Definition of terms used in the explanation of mitosis
For you to easily understand this process, there is a need to explain some terms used in the description of the process.
- Daughter cells: Daughter cells in mitosis refer to the cells that are formed from the parent cell. A parent cell is a single cell that will divide itself into two to form the daughter cells. Please note that after mitosis, you have two cells from a single cell. It is not as if the parent cell is different from the two daughter cells formed; it is as if you cut a single orange to form two equal halves and the equal halves now are called daughter cells.
- Chromatids : Chromatids are the strands of replicated chromosomes that become the chromosomes when they contract
- Microtubules : Microtubules are support fibers for the movement of chromosomes during mitosis
- Centromeres: Centromeres are needed for the separation of chromatids during mitosis and they are visible as constrictions that serve as sites of attachment of spindle microtubules.
- Kinetochore : this helps to bind bundles of microtubules called spindle fibers as they extend from the kinetochores to the poles of the spindle during mitosis
What is the purpose of mitosis?
The significance of mitosis is to produce cells that are similar in function and structure to replace worn-out cells or damaged cells of the body.
Duplication (doubling) is a mathematical function!
Anyway, good conversation nonetheless.
Then why are you dumbing it down?
Peter Higgs mathematically “tricked” the Higgs Field to manifest a Higgs boson, a particle that cannot exist independent of a very specific dynamic event .
Higgs and his “mathematical tricks” predicted that energy applied in accordance to his mathematical equations would be causal to the Higgs boson to become manifest for an instant and then decay immediately.
btw. His mathematical tricks earned him a Nobel prize.
But then, that’s just like receiving a Teddy bear when shooting three bottles at the county fair.
You should learn some mathematics.
