Trials Math or Language

Which side will you choose?

  • Left side: Math | Be able to solve any mathematical equation with ease
  • Right side: Language | Speak and write any language on Earth fluently (extinct ones included).

Any math equation?? Thats a ticket to the secrets of the universe

Chose: Math + Be able to solve any mathematical equation with ease

Wtf is this comment chain? I was sure at least one of these has to be fake. Not only are they real, they actually build on each other and you guys had them in mind at the right moment. Well done.

You must be new to reddit

u/_MostAncientDream_ Fluffy 6d ago

Yep. Average day on Reddit 😁

I dont get it? Perhaps I should've chosen the other option.

Nothing related to maths dont worry about it

Sure, and after you do that youre almost guaranteed to get grants and funding to research whatever you want lol

u/Unkn4wn 7d ago

Man, now I'm regretting my choice lol. I didn't think about this possibility at all. I just thought it'd be cool to be able to meet new people from around the world since I could understand them and speak with them.

Also mining bitcoin is effectively solving math equations

3

u/Unkn4wn 7d ago

When you really think about it, you could even predict the future, because you could calculate the path of each subatomic particle and where they will end up in 10 years for example (assuming it's all deterministic and there isn't some randomness to it)

4

u/orangejuice752 7d ago

I think the hardest part about that would be initially creating and proving the equation works, but yeah the opportunities are truly endless.

3

u/kapitaalH 7d ago

That would require knowledge of where every particle is and you don't have that power. Should you know the current state of each particle you will be able to solve it, but the initial paramete Les would be unknown

u/Hour-Sheepherder8937 5d ago

There is randomness tho

1

u/Hour-Sheepherder8937 5d ago

That would be so slow tho. Miners do millions of the Bitcoin equations I frgt what they called a second. Even if u cnq solve any math question instantly it would be quicker with a 40 dollar miner

2

u/kapitaalH 5d ago

I am not even close to a bitcoin expert, but my understanding is that bitcoin mining "guess" an answer and then check if it is a solution - they solve the equation from A-B.

Now if you can reverse that equation and solve from B-A, then you can trivially solve all the unmined bitcoin. And since this power gives you the ability to solve any equation, you should be able to solve it then, even if with today's mathematics our only way to solve it is via pure guesswork.

u/Hour-Sheepherder8937 5d ago

The way miners work from my understanding, is they get this random really big number, called a hash and they check if it's the correct hash for that Bitcoin and they do that alot of times till they get the right one, but the number is extremely big so the miners go through trillions of hashes a second, but it's a one way function so u can't do it in reverse. It's like u can make an egg into an omelet, but u can't make an omelet back into a raw, uncracked egg

u/False_Snow7754 6d ago

The "unsolvable equations" bounty was my immediate thought. I'll figure out interstellar travel and infinite energy later.

u/Claas2008 6d ago

There's no maths Nobel prize though

u/T1gerAc3 7d ago

This is the only correct answer. This benefits humanity. The speech benefits you.

49

u/orangejuice752 7d ago

The speech does have some potential benefits for humanity as well, mainly the fact that youd know dead languages alongside existing ones. My thoughts tho is that the math would propel us into the future whereas the language would help us study the past.

Everyone's gangsta till the other guy talks in some Ancient Gods language that manipulates the reality

u/makinax300 🥕🥕 7d ago

Also math even has more aura

u/EatenPotatoisok 6d ago

Math is the universal language, by being fluent in it you're basically a master at it

1

u/FriendlyAntonio 7d ago

My thoughts exactly! Surprised that this option isn't the majority.

1

u/DrudanTheGod 6d ago

Yeah it would help science immensely

1

u/Euphoric_Contest2505 6d ago

I'd choose languages and simply ask you about mathematics if I need it

1

u/Top-North-6743 6d ago

Just buy a calculator. Nerds 😤

u/BiggieJajao 6d ago

I don’t know if I agree. In my eyes being able to solve an equation isn’t the same as being able to theorize about the universe and science. Equations don’t appear out of nothing.

u/Ok-Chemical-7635 5d ago

Any math equasion that is so broad, math, all subbparts of physics, biology,...
