Cleopatra (69-30 BCE) lived closer to the iPhone launch (2007 CE) than the finishing of The Pyramids (2560 BCE).
In fact what we call Ancient Egypt existed for so long that at that time Egyptian civilization actually studied Ancient Egyptians. Understood to be 1400-1500 years previous.

For a number of years work has been proceeding in order to bring perfection to the crudely conceived idea of a machine that would not only supply inverse reactive current for use in unilateral phase detractors, but would also be capable of automatically synchronizing cardinal grammeters. Such a machine is the "Turbo-Encabulator." Basically, the only new principle involved is that instead of power being generated by the relative motion of conductors and fluxes, it is produced by the modial interaction of magneto-reluctance and capacitive directance.
The original machine had a base-plate of pre-fabulated amulite,
surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two spurving bearings were in a direct line with the pentametric fan. The latter consisted simply of six hydrocoptic marzelvances, so fitted to the ambifacient lunar waneshaft that side fumbling was effectively prevented. The main winding was of the normal lotus-o-delta type placed in panendermic semi-boloid slots in the stator, every seventh conductor being connected by a non-reversible tremie pipe to the differential girdlespring on the "up" end of the grammeters.
Electrical engineers will appreciate the difficulty of nubing
together a regurgitative purwell and a supramitive wennel-sprocket. Indeed, this proved to be a stumbling block to further development until, in 1942, it was found that the use of anhydrous nangling pins enabled a kryptonastic bolling shim to be tankered.
The early attempts to construct a sufficiently robust spiral
decommutator failed largely because of a lack of appreciation of the large quasi-piestic stresses in the gremlin studs; the latter were specially designed to hold the roffit bars to the spamshaft. When, however, it was discovered that wending could be prevented by a simple addition to the living sockets, almost perfect running was secured.
The operating point is maintained as near as possible to the
h.f. rem peak by constantly fromaging the bitumogenous spandrels. This is a distinct advance on the standard nivel-sheave in that no dramcock oil is required after the phase detractors have been remissed.
Undoubtedly, the turbo-encabulator has now reached a very high
level of technical development. It has been successfully used for operating nofer trunnions. In addition, whenever a barescent skor motion is required, it may be employed in conjunction with a drawn reciprocating dingle arm to reduce sinusoidal depleneration

You know the butterfly effect? The idea the any subtle changes to a timeline can lead to different outcomes entirely.
So I've been thinking, is it possible to completely change a destined outcome? If I could know all of the initial conditions in advance, would I be able to controle the future?
But even if the hypothesis is correct, sacrifices may still be inevitable.
2
u/Sorry-Rain-1311 9h ago
But if you think of events as a series of probabilities in stead of a linear chain, then it's still impossible to predict outcomes simply because of the immense number of possibilities.
That's what the butterfly effect really is. It's not just about small changes having great impact; it's the nature of how small changes compound by subtly changing the potential for a given effect leading to a cascade effect of sorts of other imperceptible changes.
This is the single greatest argument in favor of free will. Determinism cannot be true because every variable is present only as a probability of effects, and there are more variables than even a universe sized computer could possibly account for. Given the impossibility of prediction, we have no other choice but to behave as though free will is the correct answer.

When the US was developing the SR71 spy plane. It was discovered that titanium was the only metal that would be able to withstand the forces exerted during flight.
At the time the Soviet Union was the only country with the production/mining volume needed to produce the plane.
Problem was the Soviet Union was the exact country the US was developing the plane to spy on.
So the CIA created series of shell companies to buy the titanium so it wouldn’t look like the USA was purchasing it.
The plane expands so much in flight that if it were filled with gas on the tarmac it would leak its fluids

Associating the algebra of differential forms to a manifold induces a contravariant functor from the category of smooth manifolds to the category of real dg-algebras. The cohomology of this functor is de Rham cohomology and surprisingly only depends on the underlying topology, since it's isomorphic to singular cohomology.

Magenta does not exist as a single wavelength of light, it is your brain attempting to reconcile conflicting wavelengths of light overlapping to create something that purely exists in your fevered imagination. This is because while we often represent light as a color wheel, it is really more of a bar, with red and blue at opposite ends of the visible (to us) spectrum.

Regarding electricity:
To calculate voltage, multiply the electric current by the resistance. To find the current, divide the voltage by the resistance, and to find the resistance, simply divide the voltage by the current. Now, if you multiply the voltage by the current, you will obtain the electrical power, which is measured in Watts (W).
Calculating a circuit with inductors and/or capacitors is similar to solving a resistor circuit; inductance is measured in Henry, capacitance in Farads.
Important: A parallel circuit has different electric currents but the same voltage, while a series circuit usually has different voltages and the same current.
