    Few people know about the mailbox conspiracy, in which all mailboxes of the world are plotting to destroy humanity. This video will tell you all the things you missed, such as how various events in the Cold War, including Ping Pong Diplomacy, threats of thermonuclear war, and Stratetic Arms Limitation Talks I and II, are related to the conspiracy. We will also explain how to prepare for your impending doom because it is impossible to prevent or delay the fate that the mailboxes have already determined.

      The mailbox could simply challenge the MBT to a game of chess and use the Tennyson Gambit ICBM variation against the tank. Even a BGM-71 TOW anti-tank guided missile launched from an M2 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle would surely defeat the tank.

    • @drake52
      @drake52 3 года назад +51

      The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.
      In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was.
      The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

      It is only a matter of time before the mailbox knows where you are because it knows where you will go, or where you have already gone, and by dividing it by the algebraic sun of where you are and where you aren’t, it can obtain your most likely next destination. It can then solve an intercept equation to intercept you and carry out its plan.

      @Wyatt Alexander It knows this because it knows where it isn't, by subtracting where it is, from where it isn't, or where it isn't, from where it is, whichever is greater, it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance sub-system uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the Mailbox from a position where it is, to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position where it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event of the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has required a variation. The variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too, may be corrected by the GEA. However, the mailbox must also know where it was. The mailbox guidance computance scenario works as follows: Because a variation has modified some of the information the mailbox has obtained, it is not sure just where it is, however it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subracts where it should be, from where it wasn't, or vice versa. By differentiating this from the algebraic sum og where it shouldn't be, and where it was. It is able to obtain a deviation, and a variation, which is called "mail"
