*that last paragraph is from grok explaining your mention of hash trapdoors
Discussion
yeah, what makes a trapdoor function has a lot to do with the arithmetic system you use. hash functions use clockwork arithmetic or finite fields (meaning they can overflow and stuff can be lost or mess with the LSB part of the number) .
if you allow the number of bits to increase you can reverse it just fine. the bits that a hash function blows off cannot be recovered without trying many (squillions) of candidates. to see if you can figure out what got hashed. and they are called "hash" because this means a mess in english. i'm not sure if that was where it was invented, but i suspect yes. a hash is specifically a type of mess that might be fixable, but probably you will just throw it out and start again.
Squillions!!
2^256 is a mind-numbingly large number. more than the number of atoms in the universe, theoretically.
But if the earth is flat…what’s that number become. Just saying wouldn’t we feel it if we were moving!?? Ok I’ll see myself out.
lol
the consistency of gravity and the known spherical geometry of its effects (like all ballistics, everything is about spheres) completely discount the idea of the earth being flat in the strict planar field mathematical sense.
the earth is flat only if you restrict the precision of your measurements, this is a mathematical function called "renormalization" and it makes a bridge between an infinite one dimensional line and a circle, which is finite in length.
what the number becomes is inconceivably large compared to an idiotic concept of earth as a ... what, disc? square? rectangle? regular or irregular polygon plane?
only someone who has no understanding of mathematics could swallow the obvious fallacy of flat earth. also, someone who is gullible enough to believe a psyop that is designed to ruin your ability to think.
Sorry that I caused you to waste any time responding to my joke. We're on the same page.
yeah, unfortunately it is a joke that appears to be taken seriously by some people. there is a saying: "bullshit baffles brains" - nonsense is often a sign that someone is making a profit out of stupidity, and that is aggrevating.
