Weeks of 01/15/07 to 01/31/07 [018]
Notable Threads
- mnm was nice enough to create a TeamLiquid Gallery where you can view pictures of all your favorite forum members. Discuss looks, style, and the 300:1 guy:girl ratio in the thread.
- A referendum by ManaBlue shows that an alarmingly large percentage of TL.net uses only the five topic tabs on the left. Please use the Forum Button to browse!
- Confess and read others' confessions in Beyonder's Confess something thread.
- Missed SuperFight 4? Don't worry! Click for the live reports, Mani's TL bracket contest (with final tournament), my and FakeSteve's diary/chat, and the vods.
- In the near future, there will be a need for a ladder administration team at TL.net. Apply in the thread or by sending a PM to Manifesto7.

I have written several things trying to decipher on my own some of the unanswerable questions in life, such as things about god and in general just all of the difficult questions in the world. I don't necessarily agree with any of them, they are just theories that I formed.
Here is one of them, it's the latest one I thought of and most of the ideas aren't completely thought out or even right, but I think it's an interesting idea.
X = Life "Theory"
In mathematics one encounters several things. One of these things being equations. Equations can be made for literally ANYTHING. These equations enable us to have a completely accurate prediction of, as I said earlier, literally anything.
Knowing this, that anything can be predicted via mathematics, I am hypothesizing that human life also must have an equation where one can predict what anyone will do in any given situation, thus human life has no free will and fate is very much so real, to the point that we are all merely points on the graph of an XY chart. The end of the world can be predicted, the creation of our world can be found, we can understand nearly all of the questions that life has left us unanswered without ever leaving our rooms, we can travel through time, we can essentially understand everything by finding an equation for every single living person to figure out what they would do in any situation presented in front of them.
I believe this hypothesis is valid for the reason that I have no reason to believe human beings are special, if I can predict how a ball will roll across the ground, I should be able to predict how someone will react if I punch them in the face, though, the equation is going to be very complex there is most definitely one to achieve the answer that I am looking for.
To say that I am looking for an equation where I will know how Johnny Walker will react to being hit in the face is completely wrong, however, I am moreso looking at the idea of an equation that would set the path of your life, from your first action to your last. I’m not sure at this point how the equation would have to work to accomplish this, I would hypothesize that the answer to how you reacted would be iterated back into the formula somehow, but the exact details are unimportant to me. In this hypothesis I am forced to assume it is possible to create this complex equation merely because I see no reason not to believe it, if I can predict other things it is my belief then I can predict human behaviors.
If I could somehow possess this wonderful tool, I could work the equations backwards or forwards through every generation(time travel). I would essentially possess the ability to know when anything would happen. What a scary idea...
In conclusion: My hypothesis is that it is possible to create an equation that will lay out the path of any man's life and if this is possible, free will is nonexistent and life isn't quite as magical as one might expect.

Forum Statistic of the Week
- All these statistics are 100% true.
+ Show Spoiler +9% of TL.netters come to an international forum dedicated to English coverage of the Korean Starleagues and do NOT follow the OSL.
Even the guy that does the OSL results thread!

Also, from IRC:
Crusade against Homework Threads
- Crusade has officially ended. When you see a homework thread you believe is bad, instead of spamming it (and thus inadvertantly bumping it) please just leave it alone, do not reply, and PM a Moderator, who will then decide whether to close it or not.
Thank you everyone who listened and followed with good intentions!
Old Closed Forum Thread of the Week
- Each week, we at LiquiScoop find one thread from the Closed Forum. These threads are diamonds in the rough, underappreciated secret threads that the Mods did not want you to see. They will now get their well-deserved time in the spotlight. Unfortunately you can't post in them, but you can view them, jaws agape in utter awe, mouth salivating in anticipation at what hidden treasures the Closed Forum will yield next week.
This week's OCFTotW is not a thread, but Keke[Faith]'s attack on the Articles Section:

Ban of the Week
- This week's honor goes to Carnac, who banned pr0n. An example:

I'm sorry that i disagree with you. Clearly you are the only person on this forum entitled to an opinion.
EDIT: Actually if you want me to counter your point, I'm probably in the top 5% of the forum for intelligence, and top 1% for education. And yes, I have the test scores and degrees to back that up. But that doesn't matter. What matters is you didn't even counter any of my points; you just ask me to be banned for being right.
