Not counting me that is.

Construct a square with rational side length. What's the length of the diagonal?

Always conclude the opposite of what IFL/sci/ says.

if you read anything other than the research articles that are (hopefully) linked in their stories, you don't belong here

Sometimes they're okay or bring to light interesting stuff. A lot of the times it's rehashed stuff though.

no, the most bizarre result in physics is when a physicist asks a girl for sex and she says yes

this and em drive are

we will eventually be able to transmit information faster than light and travel close to the speed of light

brainlet here but couldn't this be a result of them operating in higher dimensions?

like two dots on the opposite sides on an arc of paper could seem very far away from 2D creatures but 3D creatures can fold the paper and set them next to another

like maybe they're just next to eachother looking from a higher dimension

someone give me the formula I need to model forced damped vibrations, I know how to do undamped

This is pretty /r/ tier but here you go anon

If I'm standing at 0,0 on a "x,y" coordinate graph facing to the right and looking straight on at a 90degree angle and there is an object above me at "2,3" on the graph, to what angle degree would I have to tilt my head up to look directly at the object?

For argument sake, I am simply a dot. I don't have a human body. My head is oriented exactly at 0,0.

Thanks, I do appreciate it any help toward at least pointing me in the right direction.

t. an idiot who only took basic algebra in high school and needs to figure this out for video game programming.

OP IS A FAGGOT

You know, for a supposed Anonymous poster. You are identifiably dumb.

>>9101682
You know, for a supposedly witty comeback, that was surprisingly unfunny.

>dude we've spent billions of dollars on pushing out the narrative that we've gone to space and apparently harshly suppress any former NASA member that claims it was all a lie (given there aren't any/many who claim this)
>brb publishing an official press photo that shows our conspiracy

>>9101656
Depends. When you write your book on number theory do you want to waste more ink in every theorem by stating "except for 1" after making any claim of the form "show that for every prime"? No right? Good.

>>9101656
a prime number is defined as one that has only two whole number factors: the number itself, and one.

Since the only whole number factor of 1 is itself, it does not meet the condition of a prime number.

1 is not a number.

string theory is just not proove

>Any day now and there will be proof!
It's fancy math at best. Ideally there should be experiments that can be performed between ST, QT and GR. Depending on the scenario, if ST is correct, there are cases where ST can provide correct predictions that neither QT or GR can provide. In other scenarios, ST should reduce down to QT or GR.

We have yet to see experiments carried out. I'm not holding my breath.

>>9101960
so why has nobody done these experiments?

I almost bought into IQ tests and genetics for intelligence by race but then I read about how the Jews were retard tier at the turn of the century and now they get good scores.
I think its culture not genetics.

>>9101227
One of the biggest complains about IQ tests is that the patterns that are tested are generally mathematical in nature so practice in mathematics will most likely artificuly boost your score due to familiarity. Though for the general population this isn't a huge problem as most barely remember basic algebra. But comparing certain groups against others could be problematic. Which is why psychologist have other widely used cognitive tests.

>>9101227
explain why any of what you're talking about matters. Unless you do something with your IQ, it's just a useless number

You should try smoking meth

It's not the histamine receptor blockade, it's the serotonin transporter inhibition. It's the serotonin that makes you feel good, but diphenhidramine isn't as powerful as antidepressants for that, so it doesn't make your dick go limp, whilst enjoying the benefits of slightly higher extracelular serotonin.

Hello to every1.

I prefer physical textbooks because I can never really take online pdfs or stuff like that as seriously. However online pdfs and all are useful for working when you're not at home, since all you need is your phone and your notebook.

>tfw no Kurisu tsundere GF to discuss science with
T_T

As for OP, I take PDFs on my phone so I can read whenever I want, but I buy good books so I can do serious studying from.

No, it would evaporate. Mars lacks an atmosphere that can hold the water in.

Solarwinds would blow it away. Mars lacks a good magnetic field.

60-80% heritable. Twin studies confirm.

i guess your first post being deleted didnt send you a message.

>>9100279
Closer to 80% than 60% in the more recent studies.

There's that word again...

>>9100268
Simple. If you disprove a theory but you have no replacement or fix then it is pointless. It is not like Aristotle claimed absolute truth.

>>9100268
Newton didn't *disprove* Aristotelian physics, he just extended it. Good read below on this topic.

>I show that Aristotelian physics is a correct and non-intuitive approximation of Newtonian physics in the suitable domain (motion in fluids), in the same technical sense in which Newton theory is an approximation of Einstein's theory. Aristotelian physics lasted long not because it became dogma, but because it is a very good empirically grounded theory. The observation suggests some general considerations on inter-theoretical relations.
