Esamopia City
Grande Palais du Justice

"Reporting live from the seat of government, what has been suspected for several days is now absolutely true." The reporter paused for a second, allowing the cameras to get a better shot of the famed seat of power, housing the Imperial Sovereign and her expert staff. "After rigorous testing by the Esamopian Science Council, in addition to supplemental questions from foreign specialists, there can be no doubt as to the abilities of Dmitiri A. Rudof, proclaimed 'Most Intelligent Human.'"

"Certain government contacts, under condition of anonymity, have said that the incredible seventeen-year-old would be used by the Imperial Sovereign in all manners of government programs, including a productivity and efficiency reform, administrative programming, diplomatic negotiations, and even matters of defense. An outspoken member of the opposition in the Imperial Council sneered: 'No matter who gets elected Imperial Sovereign, Dmitiri's suggestions, obviously superior, would get the force of law!'"

"IN celebrating the great fortune of Esamopia, citizens of all nations have been welcomed to send difficult questions, in part to prove Dmitiri's title, and also to give some of the best advice available in this planet."

"Dmitiri, are we alone in universe, or is there intelligent life elsewhere?"

To: Esamopia Diplomats
From: Vrak Diplomatic Corps
Subject: A Question

Congratulations on finding the "Most Intelligent Human", although we always think that such honorifics could be premature.

Anyhow, please submit this question to young Dmitiri:

"What do women want?"

We would like to remind Esamopia that entrusting a 17 year old with such responsibilities should be considered first. Wisdom is not mutually inclusive with intelligence, nor is knowledge.

"Dmitiri, are we alone in universe, or is there intelligent life elsewhere?"

[b] Response by Honorary Ambassador Dmitri:

It is often said that short questions are direct and therefore straightforward... people often lie. Your question amused me at first, I had assumed that you hinted at the proposition that you were also of an I.Q. greater than 350, and therefore wished to proclaim your superiority on an international forum, by taking a cynical approach in claiming that we were of a unique kind, the only intelligent life in the universe.

Soon afterwards, I realized that you were asking a most serious question, whether "intelligent" life existed elsewhere in the universe. "Intelligent" has many definitions, I am not aware if you mean that the creatures would have to be aware of their own existence, or if you had hinted at a higher level, that of sentience and the ability to understand the universe around us. In any case, after detailed simulations (in my mind,) weighing upon such factors as the conditions required for life to survive and then evolve, the habitability of planets in this galaxy and in the universe at large, keeping in my mind also that life, even "intelligent" life could exist under starkly different conditions than those we have experienced, as well as myriad other details, I have come with the following determination (rounded to the nearest eighth digit:)

Probability of the existence any life in the universe, not withstanding the Earth or Earth contaminated sites: 0.00019877 %

Probability of the existence of self-aware organisms, without regard to those on the planet Earth or of areas explored by Earthlings: 0.00000039%

Probability of the existence of sentient life, outside of Earth without the transportation of such creatures from Earth: 0.00000000*%

*: Indicates a non-zero answer, but the calculation of error for the approximation is greater than the answer itself.

These answers were determined through several complex formulas, those that your mind could not understand if I displayed them, and I could not do so in any case because I lack an appropriate medium (besides paper and pen) to display to you... but you would not understand these at any rate.

Response by Honorary Ambassador Dimitiri:

Alas, not even the greatest minds in the universe could possibly determine an answer to this great question... I have labored for months with intricate formulas, but there seemes to be no answer!! The closest I ever got was the following answer:

The limit as n approaches infinity of cos n(pi), which as we all know, bounces from 1 to -1 and therefore diverges.

We would like to remind Esamopia that entrusting a 17 year old with such responsibilities should be considered first. Wisdom is not mutually inclusive with intelligence, nor is knowledge.

Response by the Junior Adjunct Diplomatic Official (JADO) to "The Incorporated States of Exonerate" :

"We thank the great peoples of the Exonerate for their advice, the government denies any such plans for Dimitiri and the media does whatever it wishes, no matter how irresponsible, to stir unpleasant public feelings."

"Who assasinated JFK?"

Statement by Honorary Ambassador Dmitiri:

Still taking your questions, if you have them...

"What is the meaning of life?"

YAY CONFETTI YAY PARTY YAY BOOZE YAY PARTY

"Who assasinated JFK?"

Official Response of Honorary Ambassador Dmitiri:

LEE HARVEY OSWALD, according to all accounts, was the man to carry out the assassination. There are many questions as to whether this was a lone act of desperation by a leftist "rebel," or if Mr. Oswald was merely acting on orders from an organization, perhaps one that is entrusted to the defense of the United States?

Much to the dismay of conspiracy theorists, Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone that day, without orders from anyone. Any serious evaluation of the assassination would leave many blanks, with seemingly no way of confirming exactly what occured, but none of these can be filled with a conspiracy by conservatives opposed to his (alleged support of) civil rights programs, nor by the Central Intelligence Agency, nor the Russian Committee for State Security (the infamous Komitet gosudarstvennoi bezopasnosti or KGB.)

"What is the meaning of life?"

Official Response by the Honorary Ambassador Dmitiri:

There is no way to answer a question such as this thoroughly, as it has been debated, mediated upon, and even satirized by "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" (among the other novels in that series,) where the famous answer to "The Life, Universe, and Everything" is 42!

No, none of the philosophers of old or the scientists of today can ever know the answer to this question, because you are looking in the wrong place... You must probe the question not the answer! What is the meaning of: "What is the meaning of life?" Such a non-sensical question can never have an answer, compare it with this question:

"What is inside the blue?" OR "How many fingers does a peanut have?"

It is simply ridiculous!! What you should be asking instead is: "Why do I exist," and the answer to that question has been answered already... "I think, therefore I am."

The very act of thinking, of forming the necessary brain pathways to contemplate such a question, mean that you have the requesite material of experiencing your existence.

I assume that you shouldn't have any problems with these questions

What is the physical nature of force?
Why is the speed of light constant in a vacuum?
What is the scale of the universe?
Is light composed of waves or particles?
What is time?
What is the nature of gravity?
Is space the absence of all matter and energy, or something more?

OOC: Have fun :lol:

Official response:

Although I'd be more than happy to explain all of the answers in detail, I believe that there is nothing particularly enigmatic about any of these questions (except perhaps the fourth question, as there is evidence for both that it is quite ambiguous.) At any rate, a simple "www.google.com" search can provide you all these answers, I will not restate the obvious!

Dear Mr. Rudof,

"Why do I exist?"
"I think, therefore I am."

While I may merely be a nation leader, this makes no sense to me. Especially the fact you endorse it. The smartest person in the world is supporting garbage? "I think, therefore I am." It does not answer the question "Why do I exist." If anything, it better answers the question of "How do I exist?". Asking "why" is asking for motivation. Asking "how" is asking for scientific reason.

Yes, very intelligent. HELLO SMARTEST MAN IN THE WORLD! I HAIL YOU!

Stop wasting my time.

Official Response:

I suppose your reasoning is true, I just did not word it correctly. In reality, you can never ask the question because it has no answer. As I explained earlier, the question makes no sense! I was attempting to see if I could answer a similar question for your benefit, but apparently this is not what you wanted. Oh well, you can only complain if you pay me...

Dear smartest person in the world

What is, in the long run, the most stable and successfull government type, assuming that a successfull government is one who creates the best standard of living for the whole of the population while being stable? Also, what do you base your answer off of?

OOC: I thought i was the smartest human in the universe :'(

Congratulations Mr Rudof, on your appointment as the smartest human. Some of the questions I have seen posted to you have been socio/philosophical in nature, and as such, are difficult for a person with a mathematical/scientific mind to answer. However, others could have been answered by any Moontian upon leaving high school, such as King Iain:

why is the speed of light constant in a vacuum?

The speed of light, or the speed of any moving body, in a total vacuum would be constant, IF there were no forces acting on the body, such as gravity, friction, magnetism, etc.

Is light composed of waves or particles?

Light appears to have characteristics of both waves and particles, and so would be counted as both. Evidence for both lies in the fact that light diverges; and in the photo-electric effect.
There is a slight problem with this, however, because subatomic particles also diverge like waves. This is the principle behind the electron microscope.

What is the nature of gravity?

Gravity is one of the fundamental forces of the universe, like the electromagnetic force and the nuclear forces. This force exerts itself as gravity waves, that travel through a vacuum at the speed of light, just like ordinary electromagnetic waves, aka light.

What is space?

Space is not the complete abscence of matter and energy. If it was, how would the Earth manage to stay warm at all, with the Sun so far away? Radiation and subatomic particles permeate throughout outer space. I would give the definition as 'the area outside the atmosphere of any cosmological body.'

LOL, those are elementary questions, question one can be answered with Newtons laws of motion, question two is a given since light is a wave on the spectrum, and everyone knows what gravity is, thta was figured by newton and einstein i believe

heres a good question, what would happen if we were traveling in space and achieved the speed of light?

OOC: Figure this out :twisted:

What do you think of this theory Mr. Rudof?

Theory
Since matter is accelerated to the speed of light after passing the horizon threshold, this means there is no matter within a black hole.

If there is no matter in a black hole, then the idea that an infinately massive piece of matter is inconsistant.

If there is only energy in a black hole center, then that means light/energy has mass. It is just immeasurable in its free form, but compacted it can be.

If light has mass, then it can bend space-time.

If each light ray can bend space-time, it must cause a form of gravitational wake.

If two light ray wakes intercept, then the bend of space-time would be about 2x the depth of a normal wake.

If the center of a black hole draws all energy to it, but no collision occurs, we must assume there is no material center of a black hole.

If all energy must pass through the Point of Singularity, then we can assume energy follows an orbital.

No two energies can share an orbital (theory).

Thus, there must be an infinite number of orbitals.

--background for simplification--
Matter cannot be energy in matter form
For energy to be matter, it must slow less than C
Energy cannot slow less than C in a black hole unless it impacts
No such impacts can be made if no two energies share an orbital
There for, energy within a black hole will not slow less than C

--Return to theory--
However, light/matter enter the horizon at varying speeds.

They reach a speed of at least C. (I have to work further on the theory for >C for varying entries)
-->skip ahead past the "iffy" stuff--|

Basically, all energy entering black hole adjust to corresponding orbit in corresponding orbital.

With each pass of the POS, the factor of time causes the energy to lose an insignificantly small amount of energy.

Instead of falling back, it drops one orbital, thereby retaining speed.

--Physics review—
racetrack: cars on the outer rim have to go a little faster to keep up with the cars going slightly less than they are on the inner rim. But they both follow the same orbit, just in different orbitals. If a car on the outer rim were to lose some power, he'd drop back to the inner rim to maintain speed while continuing the race.
--End of review—

Thus, there are an infinite number of orbits and orbitals.
Since energy cannot slow to less than C, the idea of a linear energy loss is unheard of.
Orbital size/energy loss is exponential (largest orbital diameter/every loss on the outer rim).
If each energy ray has a wake, the intense concentration of all energy rays passing through one point the same diameter of a light ray, the wake would be immense and cause the tremendous gravitational pull.
This POS based off of intersecting energy wakes (not the energies themselves) causes a huge distortion in space-time.

Parallel dimensions
-this is a new section to my theory-
the POS is on a linear place to normal, undistorted space-time. The hole, however, extends directly below it in an exponential fashion. The accretion disk surrounding a black hole begins to concentrate more as it reaches the horizon. This begins the exponential bend in space-time. Once the horizon begins, the circle of cycling light begins and continues the exponential growth of bending.

Since light is more compact in cycling than matter, the deepening in space-time rapidly increases.

NOTE: Orbitals are the same shape ashalp-P orbitals in elections. This way, the POS is one vertex. Energy can take one path, but then must pass through he POS and on to another. Usually directly across, but if another energy is close enough at the POS as the first, they will repel and the latter will push the other into another path. Thus, light takes the path of most ease.

IN THE NEWS:
Recently, scientists found matter escaping black holes. This brings me to my section on parallel universes.

Okay, each fabric of space-time in both universes has matter and energy bends in it. These bends are exactly mirrored through the aether (space between space-time’s). A strand of symmetry (theory) connects the vertex of the bends through the aether. When a black hole's bend becomes so great that it extends into the aether far enough to reach the parallel universes bend upward, the strand will shorten. As long as the space-time remains whole, the two space-time bends will simply hit each other and bounce off, expelling matter. This is because the pull of gravity in the POS is reversed and somehow recognizes the bend in space-time has no more space for incoming matter. Thus, it reverses polarity (random term for simplicity, black holes may or may not have polarity....hmmm) and begins expelling mass at an exponential rate. However, if the fabric of space-time breaks when the two bends collide, space-time will reform around the tear and combine the two bends. Now, gravity will overlap if it is in the same direction (moon in earth's orbit, for example), but not with head-on directions. The bend in space-time becomes a hole and the black holes will explode (theory) in unimaginable furry. In the resulting fallout, antimatter will be produced in massive quantities. However, such a blast results from super-heavy black holes that already began as neutron stars thousands of times more massive than the average neutron star.
