It seems to me like it should be possible to understand how the universe works without the need for experimentation. Is there a way to use logic and mathematics to unravel how the universe operates at a fundamental level?
Here is my argument. Is there anything wrong with it?

1. I think (assumption)
2. I exist (based on 1)
3. The universe consists of all objects and phenomena. (definition of universe)
4. I am part of the universe and the universe exists, although I might be the only member. (based on 2 and 3)
5. Fundamental physical laws govern how the universe operates. (assumption)
6. It is impossible to know if my experiences are real or imagined. (assumption)
7. Therefore, the only thing that I can know about the fundamental laws of the universe, are that they form myself. (based on 4, 5 and 6)

Reduce the equation to standard from, give the coordinates of the vertex, focus, ends of the latus rectum and find the equation of the directrix. I got this wrong in my test yesterday. I'm so careless. Please as much as possible do it step by step to prevent vagueness.

If we keep reproducing at a rate similar to that of now, what will happen in the future? I think the only way out if we get so close would be for people to be killed, not that I agree with this, but I bet the government would be willing to do this to save the planet... What are your thoughts on this?

Since a single atom is something like 99.999...percent empty space and since the whole Earth is made up of atoms does that mean that the volume occupied by the Earth or any other object is actually 99.9999...percent space and a very very small percent of mass?

I'm currently working on a small project, and I need to make a case for some things by vacuum-forming. The problem is, I don't have a v-f table. Does anyone know a cheap way to make one (like out of wood or something) and how to actually construct one?

I often see the letter "s" especially in hairs or cotton stuck to peoples clothes. I wondered if it was due to magnetic or static fields.

I just need to confirm this, since I was sure until people started to disagree.

Tanning is a release of melanin right? It is different to sun burn.

If there are two people, and person a gets a tan and person b doesn't get anything, that means person a is better off because the body protects itself, and is probably less damaged than person b.

Someone who tans more or easily is better off in sunlight right? Again, there is a difference between burning and tanning.
