oh wow, you're really lucky. around my friend groups who use tiktok, the main complaint is how bad the search is. unfortunately for us, getting a specific video is almost impossible =(
First set gamma as being 1/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2), with "c" being the speed of light. The factor for time dilation and distance contraction in special relativity is gamma and 1/gamma respectively.
That means that when you get to speeds equal to c, your time runs infinitely slower and the distances are infinitely shorter. So if your clock is infinitely slower, so every travel at "c" speeds means that no time passes for you. And if your distances are infinitely shorter, all travels at "c" speeds cover any distance as immediate. So you could reach every point of the universe as if it was immediately closer and in no time at all.
So in the frame of reference of the photon, the moment it is created it has already reached its destination, be it wherever it is on the universe.
Of course we can never reach "c" as beings with mass, but we can get closer to that. So for example if you get to 99.99999999999999% of the speed of light, you could travel a distance of 54,794,520 ly and only one year would pass to you, while 54,794,520 years would pass on earth.
The thing is that this is the first time they got this kind of money. And it was unexpected, since Dwarf Fortress sold their 8 month objective by the second week. So they weren't in a position of knowing who and how to call that someone.
I'm sorry, could you please elaborate? I was always under the assumption that hash functions have to be deterministic, and thus, that "every input has a unique output" was a correct statement.
AFAIK the contrary is invalid, so that "not every output is the result of one and only one input".
There is a big difference in the intervention made by US in east asian countries, and the interventions made by superpowers in other countries.
I'm not saying that South Korea and Japan didn't make good use of this intervention, but while the intervention in those countries was more akin to a financing/investment, which was in line with US' Marshall Plan during the Cold War.
In other countries such as those from Africa/South America, it was direct exploration of people and resources without really giving something back.
Statistically speaking 4000 is a good enough number. I mean, election polls in the US usually use less than that for a population of 300 million and they're usually close to the real number.
