Rongqing Dai Abstract In the past decades we have witnessed that some scholars with prestigious academic background stumbled over some mathematical reality with the claim of verifying some highly nonlinear relationship using statistical average of scattered raw data. In this short essay a mathematical theorem that has evaded the attention of grand mathematicians due to… Continue reading Theorem of the Impossibility to Precisely Match Nonlinearity with Averages of Scattered Data

The 2nd Order Metaphysical Principle
Rongqing Dai Abstract Principles are a fundamental part of humanity. However, since ancient times, the second order metaphysical principle, i.e. the principle of adhering to principles has not caught the attention of the academics of philosophy, although practically it has always been an important cultural element. This short essay would introduce the general concept of… Continue reading The 2nd Order Metaphysical Principle
Collatz Set
Rongqing Dai Abstract This article defines the Collatz number as any number that satisfies the Collatz conjecture, and the Collatz set as the collection of all Collatz numbers, and then provides a set of general expressions for Collatz numbers, which would formally define the Collatz set. With this effort, the proof of the famous Collatz… Continue reading Collatz Set
Nature, Supernature, Quasinature & Scientific Domain
Rongqing Dai Abstract The rapidly advancing video recording and broadcasting technologies are bringing this world into a new era that would substantially change our civilization in a way that humans could have never imagined before, which might completely change the mainstream world-view concerning the real picture of the whole existential reality. One fundamental change that… Continue reading Nature, Supernature, Quasinature & Scientific Domain

The Metaphysics of Good and Bad
Rongqing Dai Abstract The contrast between good and evil has been one of the central subjects in philosophy since ancient times, but the study of the metaphysics of good and bad is surprisingly left blank. The concept of evil in philosophy has a strong humanistic moral color, while in fact evil is just a metaphysical… Continue reading The Metaphysics of Good and Bad
This Practice Could Negatively Impact Sleep
Rongqing Dai Abstract This writing will explore an intriguing area of philosophy of mind concerning the interaction between consciousness and unconsciousness, the transition from conscious awareness into dream. More specifically this writing will discuss how a common practice could negatively impact the quality of sleep especially the ability to fall into sleep quickly, which is… Continue reading This Practice Could Negatively Impact Sleep
Invalidating the Postulate of Constant Speed of Light with a Thought Experiment
Rongqing Dai Abstract In this paper, a logically unambiguous thought experiment with the potential of physical realization is presented to show that under the given condition, the postulate of the constancy of speed of light in vacuum would lead to logically impossible results. A much involved analysis is provided in this writing showing that the… Continue reading Invalidating the Postulate of Constant Speed of Light with a Thought Experiment
Solution to Hilbert First Problem against the Illusion of Cantorian Cardinal System
Rongqing Dai Abstract In 1878 Cantor proposed the Continuum hypothesis (CH for its acronym), which was listed by Hilbert in 1900 as the first of his 23 open problems, and is still considered unsolved by the academia of mathematics to today. CH is a manifestation of the Cantorian philosophy of comparing the sizes of infinite… Continue reading Solution to Hilbert First Problem against the Illusion of Cantorian Cardinal System
Solving Hilbert’s First Problem
Rongqing Dai 1. Brief Background Hilbert’s first problem, also known as the Continuum Hypothesis or CH for short, is the statement that there is no set whose cardinality is strictly between that of the integers and the real numbers[[1]]. It was originally put forth by Cantor and is still considered unsolved by the community of… Continue reading Solving Hilbert’s First Problem
The Pseudo Scientific Movement of Denying Perpetual Motion Machines
Rongqing Dai The possibility of perpetual motion machines has been denied by not only the academic community but also the media and the publishing industry of the open society for centuries, and any proposal of studying the possibility of the perpetual motion machine or any claim of making a perpetual motion machine would be tagged… Continue reading The Pseudo Scientific Movement of Denying Perpetual Motion Machines
The Conception of the Multifloor Siphoning Dynamo Tower
Rongqing Dai, Ph.D. 1. The Misconception around the Self-flowing Flask More than three centuries ago, Robert Boyle designed the famous self-flowing flask (Wikipedia 2021a [[1]]) (see Picture 1). There seems no evidence showing that he ever made that flask; instead, it has become a popular example showing the impossibility of perpetual machine, and has even… Continue reading The Conception of the Multifloor Siphoning Dynamo Tower
A Very Brief Review of the History of Metaphysics
Rongqing Dai, Ph.D. Abstract Once as the queen of all sciences, metaphysics that was originated by the quest of Aristotle for a science of being qua being has been greatly misunderstood and its name has been severely smeared, as the result of the global anti-metaphysical movement starting from the 19th century. The main purpose of… Continue reading A Very Brief Review of the History of Metaphysics
Academic Philosophy — A Declined Discipline
Rongqing Dai 1. Introduction The use of a past participle in the title might make some people feel uncomfortable. But unfortunately that is a proper wording for this writing despite it is a sad reality. The game has come to the end for the current academia of philosophy, and it is impossible to restart it… Continue reading Academic Philosophy — A Declined Discipline
A Forgotten Mandate of Philosophy
Rongqing Dai Abstract Diagnosis of the problem of the world is a very difficult task that human beings have so far been doing very poorly. It has been supposed to be one of the mandates of philosophy, and many philosophers in history did attempt to work on this issue, but the performance has been very… Continue reading A Forgotten Mandate of Philosophy
On the Notion of Infinity ∞
Rongqing Dai Abstract Infinity has been a familiar but also strange or even troublesome notion for scholars since ancient times. The main challenge is how to properly apply the philosophical notion of infinity in mathematical practices. Many blunders have been made by scholars, among which the most influential ones in the modern times could be… Continue reading On the Notion of Infinity ∞
The Realistic Rebellion of Humanoid Robots and How to Avoid It
Rongqing Dai Abstract While the rapid advances in the industrial development of humanoid robot might trigger the fear of Hollywood style robotic rebellion against the mankind, it is much more realistic for the humanoid robots to rebel against their human owners because of the conspiracy of other humans as discussed in this writing. Accordingly, we… Continue reading The Realistic Rebellion of Humanoid Robots and How to Avoid It

Get Ready for the Upcoming Huge Wave
Rongqing Dai Now it’s time to close the account for Special Relativity (SR) since it has become crystal clear that SR is wrong. It is wrong and no one can save it. The denominator of this matter is so big that no one can tactically add any number of tricks to save it, even not… Continue reading Get Ready for the Upcoming Huge Wave
