Variance: The Reason Why Rich Get Richer And Poor Get Poorer

The math and psychology behind long term gains and losses!

Variance: The Reason Why Rich Get Richer And Poor Get Poorer — An illustration showing a see-saw, where a stick figure is anxious on the higher end and another stick figure is happy on the lower end. Money from the anxious stick figure rolls down the see-saw into the seat of the happy stick figure. This metaphorically depcits how the rich get richer and poor get poorer.

The Portal Dilemma: The Case Of The Teleporting Cube

“PLOP” or “WHOOSH”?

Sep 15, 2024
4
Portal Dilemma — There is an entrance portal on the face of a moving piston that leads to an exit portal on the face of an inclined surface. As the piston moves fast downward, it moves toward a flat platform with a cube.  You could imagine that as the piston moves downward with the entrance portal on its surface, the cube gets teleported out of the exit portal on the inclined surface. Given this setting, the question is if the cube comes out with zero velocity or with the velocity of the piston.
