is being active on the forums worth it

nonononono!!!!
depends what you mean by "worth it". you shouldn't force yourself to stay on forums if you aren't enjoying it. i just like talking to a wider range of people on here then just the select few on the server at a time and sharing opinions. if you mean worth it in terms of having fun, you'll probably enjoy it as long as you try to stay out of drama. if you mean worth it in terms of getting staff, activity on all platforms definitely will help you out
Helpline ? is the alt account of Helpline, a banned player, that has played Invadedlands for quite a while.
oh my bad lol
doesn't matter, calling someone a random is so low, even if they joined yesterday, and apparently, this guy joined soon after the launch of the new website, so probably was here much longer
I mean yeah! if you want to be involved in the community more deeply!
System is a newgen random that joined the forums not too long ago. he's clueless and says things that makes people hate him

if you want to stay and enjoy it its pretty fun. its dead at times but overall at least for me has made me become closer with people in the community and learn more about the server.
keep capping bro

I'm trying to get more active just to know about the situation and drama happening on the server. I think its worth it
ur helpline so help me with my math now
kinda funny because I have a math test which I haven't studied for today, but it is an easy topic "probability"
LETS GOO A HELPLINE
YESS
I need help with my paper I'm writing, I tried to get someone else to help but they just banned me from their server.
cough cough @System64 cough cough plz unbanCan you check if everything is right?
An invitation-only conference held back in 2011 on the topic "Quantum Physics and the Nature of Reality" (QPNR) saw top physicists, mathematicians, and philosophers of science specializing in the meaning and interpretation of quantum mechanics wrangling over an array of fundamental issues. An interesting aspect of the gathering was that when informally polled on the main issues and open problems in the foundations of quantum mechanics, the results showed that the scientific community still has no clear consensus concerning the basic nature of quantum physics.
Quantum mechanics (QM), together with its extensions into quantum electrodynamics and quantum field theory, is our most successful scientific theory, with many results agreeing to better than a part in a billion with experiment. However, at its roots QM is ghost-like – when you try to pin down just what it means, it tends to slip between the fingers. It is full of apparent paradoxes, incompatible dualities, and "spooky actions." Simply put, although QM works amazingly well, why and how it works remains elusive.
While it's unlikely that many physicists lose much sleep over the meaning of quantum mechanics, the advent of quantum information physics (quantum cryptography, quantum computing, etc.) has directly confronted them with many fundamental questions about QM. Quantum mechanics works regardless of interpretation, but our intuition seems to be very weak when applied to situations that bring out the stranger aspects of QM. As a result, the amount of effort applied to clarifying the foundations of QM has increased considerably over the past three decades.
What, then, does the QPNR poll tell us about the state of our knowledge of quantum mechanics? While it is impractical to poke into every nook and cranny of the poll, the answers to a few of the questions merit our attention. (Note that people were allowed to vote for more than one answer, so the percentages in the source sometimes do not add up to 100 percent. I have taken the liberty of normalizing the results so they do equal 100 percent, and in some cases I have simplified the issues to more clearly state the options.)
Introduction to QM
We'll start with a QPNR poll question about the quantum measurement problem, as this will provide the opportunity to introduce some of the main concepts in QM. In QM, the wavefunction of an object describes all measurable properties of that object. It is a complete description of what is called the quantum state of that object. The wavefunction is governed by the Schrödinger equation, which tells the wavefunction how to change in response to external conditions.
The mathematical details are not important right now, save for one – the Schrödinger equation is a linear equation. If you add together several different solutions to a linear equation, that sum is also a solution. This is called the principle of superposition, and is not a physical result, but rather a property of the basic mathematical structure of QM. The implication is that there exist a class of wavefunctions, called quantum superpositions, which simultaneously describe multiple quantum states of an object.
Let's put an object into a superposition, measure it, and see what results are found according to standard quantum mechanics. Begin with a red QM ball and a green QM ball that are otherwise identical. Set them each rotating with two quanta (one quantum is considered half a unit) of angular momentum (which we will call spin) so that the red ball has its spin up, while the blue ball has its spin down. The quantum state of the two balls before they interact is red-up + blue-down. If you measure the spin of the two balls, you will find the red ball always has a spin of +1, and the blue ball always has a spin of -1, making the total spin of the pair equal to zero. This is important because the total spin of a system is constant in QM.
Thats all I got for right now, can you check if my paper is well written?
