If the Earth is spinning sphere, why is the eclipse only viewable in North America?

Shadows, how do they work?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmoW-gNjjXA
First, the moon is much smaller than the earth. So the moon's shadow covers only a limited region of the earth. Then the earth rotates. No eclipse at night, cuz the sun is on the other side. The earth turns and after a while the eclipse is gone, i.e. the moon has moved away from covering the sun.

You can get them anywhere on Earth.
Hello /sci/, I don't usually come on this board due to being a low iq retard however I was hoping if some of you could help me make sense of paternal haplogroup N-M178.
well if you must
g^tx+$ ; %¥€¢^°={32x)over the circumference of Gust)}=√π÷
It's really just a way of tracing human movement over time. A paternal haplogroup is a mutation that is inherited through the Y-chromosome. Generally, whenever a bottleneck event occurs (e.g. mass extinction, migration), nearly an entire population will possess a mutation unique to the few individuals who underwent the bottleneck and restarted the population. They don't matter at all functionally (they're often SNPs, which are mostly silent mutations).

I see, thanks for the explanation.
Hi, I'm a chem brainlet
>mercury becomes liquid at very low temperature
>gold becomes liquid at pretty high temperature
>Tungsten becomes liquid at very high temperature
>all of them are metals
why?
The phase changes of materials are pretty much dictated by the interactions of atoms. Mercury is a liquid at room temperature because the average kinetic energy of the particles (which is what temperature describes in the first place) is enough to overcome the forces that would hold the atoms together in a crystal lattice. Tungsten probably has such a high melting point because its electron configuration/size/interaction with other W atoms is such that it has an incredibly stable crystal structure, relative to other metals.
This stuff really doesn't have much to do with them being metals however, because the theory behind melting/freezing points applies to all materials. "Metal" is a label given to elements that tend to have similar chemical behaviors that are a result of how their electrons are arranged around the nucleus, e.g. they are conductive because they freely share electrons with each other, they are likely to give up electrons in a chemical reaction, and some other features that I can't name off the top of my head. They also tend to be more ductile and malleable than nonmetals in the solid state, which mechanically tend to be a bit brittle. I'm probably missing some more details.
Those are physical properties while metals are usually defined by their chemical properties (how they act in molecules). Actually I don't think metals are really rigorously defined but they can generally form solids of atoms of purely one element, as in mercury metal which is a liquid at room temperature. I haven't studied this specifically but I'm sure it's because pure metal solids are arranged in a lattice that is very stable (imagine putting ping pong balls into a box and shaking it around, they will form a dense lattice). The energy required to take an atom from this lattice is well-defined and for Mercury it isn't as large as it is for Tungsten or other metals. High temperature means a higher energy enviroment that can transfer the energy it the metals. Taking an atom from the lattice can mean either making it a gas (completely off the solid) or a liquid (semi-attached to the other liquid atoms).

Hey, l'm doing some RedOx exercise, and l have this problem, whats Br oxidation number? l know it can be {-1, +1, +5}. Is +7 right?
>>9118603
It's ok
>>9118603
Well I imagine your stoichiometrics have to be correct. If you were given the redox couples I wouldn't consider it right, if you just has to count the charges(Oxygen would always be +II) VII+ is correct.
can I watch the sun behind folliage?
yeah stare straight at it nothing bad could possibly happen
just buy a welding mask they're like 40 bucks
>>9118523
Yep, do it you frogposter.
>be me
>be in 7th grade science class
>this one kid asks the teacher:
>Mrs. Nigger, if I look into the sun will I go blind?
>Yes, Chandler, you can go blind.
>b-but Mrs. Nigger, I stared at the sun for 5 minutes and nothing happened
>teacher scolds kid for his stupidity
I like to think that somewhere out there he is going to be staring into the eclipse and making the damage in his eyes worse.
>>9118522
I don't care if this is bait, the eclipse doesn't damage your eyes, it's the sudden change when the eclipse starts waning and the sun starts coming into your eyes causing your pupils to do a resource intensive adjustment as well as not being fast enough to adjust to block the rays which is what damages your eyes.
>>9118543
this is also bait
don't look at the sun kids
>>9118543
>the eclipse doesn't damage your eyes
only at the moment of totality.
How do I make eclipse glasses?
>>9118482
no. 14 welding glass/goggles
google your local libraries/unis and see if they're giving them away
lots are during the event
BUMP
I need to now this or I will miss the eclipse
I'm in Hawaii so it will be tonight
Hey determinism fags, If the whole fucking universe if deterministic, then it's possible to build a computer than can calculate EXACTLY what is going to happen in the future, given enough information.
And if that can be calculated, you can purposely alter the future.
If you alter the succession of events, that means that the predicted future wasn't correct.
As soon as you knew the future, the future changed to a future where you know the future.
How is this not alike the "many worlds interpretation"?
Also, if the universe if fixed, then how come you are mad at me if it was inevitable that I posted this?
Also, why the fuck am I so depressed, does the universe hate me?
It makes more sense that I fucked up..
>>9118001
It's not actually possible to build such a computer. Via your ability to act on its results, any simulation of the future must necessarily include it's own future, meaning the computer has to perfectly simulate itself + some other system and find out the future of these systems. This is obviously impossible otherwise you could have that simulated computer run the same algorithm to perfectly simulate itself + some other calculation and repeat in a chain that gives you infinite computational power.

hi /sci/, i lived a shitty life and i am a strong dis-believer of free will. and from all my experiences as a person; i am pushed to deduce that there is always a perfect correlation between the environments and the person's behavior.
anyone disagree with me? i want to be proven wrong.

DETERMINISM PROVED

I totally agree
I'm sorry if this is a stupid thread, but hear me out.
Let's suppose a 1 to 2 years old kid has panic and rage attacks. He wakes up from nightmares, screams, and breaks a lot of things. When ran on a diagnosis, it is detected this child has "much higher brain activity" than other children, despite having the same skull size and otherwise normal genetics. He takes some special but unknown pill medication for some time and behaves like a practically normal child, but stops taking them and soon starts acting differently again, displaying above average intelligence, being sensitive to sounds etc.
Is this basically autism? Is there another explanation? Is there a syndrome, disease or whatever that produces "higher brain activity" that isn't high functioning autism/asperger's?
(all of this is hypothetical and no lolis were harmed in the making of this thread)
huh
whaa
ay ur fuckin autistic get over it B)
aren't we all just addicted to pleasure?
Yes. Even if that pleasure comes from feeling good about feeling bad.
>>9117477
We are all hankering after pleasure. The living entities, like the Lord, are full of consciousness, and they are after happiness. The Lord is perpetually happy, and if the living entities associate with the Lord, cooperate with Him and take part in His association, then they also become happy.
The sage feels transcendental pleasure in the gradual advancement of spiritual culture, whereas the man in materialistic activities, being asleep to self-realization, dreams of varieties of sense pleasure, feeling sometimes happy and sometimes distressed. Sensual pleasure is materialistic in nature, and thus is temporary and ultimately unsatisfying and does not bring happiness. Transcendental bliss however is very satisfying, ever increasing, and fulfilling.
I believe that everything we do is for fun, ultimately. Maintaining habits is a lot of fun. We should choose our habits wisely.
What would happen to our Legs if we stand all the time we are awake?
And what would happen if we could stand 24/7 even when we are asleep?
>>9117462
>What would happen to our Legs if we stand all the time we are awake?
Nothing, some people do pretty much that already. It's weirder that so many people spend the majority of their time sedentary nowadays.
>And what would happen if we could stand 24/7 even when we are asleep?
You would need legs that have a different structure to them where they can align vertically and lock in place so that they wouldn't collapse when you lose muscle tone after falling asleep.
you will get varicose veins
>>9117462
Standing is harder on the body that walking.
Biology dude here. How far will this book take me in sounding like I know what I'm talking about with physics?
>>9117381
I don't know a lot about particles so I just think of them as baseball's XD
>>9117385
kek
i mean you have to know what you're talking about with physics to understand goldstein anyway, it's not an intro book
if only it was this easy to score some dames, right /sci/ ?

I get that technically Autism is a "spectrum" of disorders, but what's a common thing that can be found in every person with autism?
As I understand it, to have ASD, you need to be...
1. Absolute dogshit when it comes to social skills
2. Obsessed with a very small amount of interests, repetitive motions
3. Extremely sensitive to sensory experiences (ie. bright lights, loud sounds, gross smells, etc.)
The first one is extremely vague, and can apply to at least a third of the general population, and half this website. The first part of the second one (limited interests) can be found in any boring, untraveled person out there (myself included). However, I can grant that restrictive, self-rewarding motions (such as repeated handclapping, vocalized beeping noises) aren't normal in adults. The third requirement also isn't common in the average population.
How can all these people be diagnosed under a single spectrum, when the symptoms are so varied, vague, and unconnected? People with autism themselves vary in intelligence from the above average/brilliant (Asperger's), to the below average/borderline retarded (average Autism). We still don't even know what causes the disorder; other than familial genetics, combined with the ages and social habits of the parents during conception/fetal development.
The two autistic guys that I care for are both extremely stupid and are borderline perverts; but the first is sensitive to loud noises, has extreme anxiety, and can't drive or live by himself. Whereas the second is calm, can drive/live by himself, isn't very sensitive to sensory experiences, and is a bit of a dick to the first.
Side note: Only if you spend more time taking care of people with autism than I do, can you complain about me talking deuce about autism.
because psychology is a pseudoscience
