why do you listen to pop-sci pseuds? it's more than essentially true, even things like natural selection used to be far more necessary to eventually give cavemen the upper hand on every other animal, now we don't need it because of the sheer global dominance of man and modern medicine

Try not to think about it too much.

There's a reason why we have a SQT, for questions like this that don't deserve their own thread.

SHHH!!

If we convince congress you can get high off C02 they might ban it! It's the best hope to stop global warming yet!

Not too much, but there is a case to be made for global floods of the supposedly neolithic era/Ice Age.

From the information presented in the CC video at ~1:00 is the single best piece of evidence in favour of Atlantis:

A). The Nile river flooded predictably
B). Myths tend to be based on local events
C). Therefore Egyptian myths should portray flooding as beneficial and non-cataclysmic

However, it is FROM Egypt that the myth of Atlantis comes from - indicating that the Nile couldn't have been the cause of such a myth, but rather an exceptionally cataclysmic flood.

In spite of this, I would still hold that Atlantis is probably not located in the Atlantic Ocean. At the very least, there should be SOME cities under the ocean - if not a substantial number.

>Wait 30 years
>All of Tampa Florida is now Atlantis

Pretty good evidence of the existence of civilizations predating Plato which could be his inspiration for Atlantis but none from 12,000 BC. Also pretty good evidence for the existence of prehistorical peoples that were destroyed or at least forced to relocate because of natural disasters and flooding but none that could be rivals to Greece, most prehistoric peoples didn't even build cities. None of these existed beyond the pillars of Hercules anyway.

Pretty good evidence for civilizations that existed beyond the pillars of Hercules but they weren't in contact with Greece, weren't civilizations that could be rivals to Greece anyway, weren't large enough to fit the description of Atlantis, and weren't prehistoric

So pick your poison I guess.

From your picture, we can surmise the following:
> memes that have a slow rise to the top have a slow fall to irrelevance, ie
>the rate at which a meme falls from peak notoriety is similar to the rate at which it rises to it
If random resurgences are not taken into account, then the meme posting rates (memeposts per day) of those in the picture you posted may be calculated by something like
p(t) = sqrt(t)/p(t-1)
Where p(t) means number of posts as a function of time in days.

I'm an engineering freshman brainlet though, so please run this through again.

Interesting
To see those different rises and falls
But I don't believe in predicting

>>9070506
Only if you could predict people. You'd have to be able to predict whether certain famous individuals on Twitter or somethkng will start in on it and bring it back up to speed.

We're pretty far from it, last I checked.

Meaningless buzzword. Also, you have to go back.

I was quoting.
I mean does the whole of humanity have more similar alleles than two different subspecies of chimp?

>>9070417
yes because humans dont have subspecies

but why?

I'd bet a fortune that more math majors could prove this than CS majors

Ahem, {{}}

First, for there to be any advantage we would need some way of articulating the arm that was as fast as normal arm movement and stronger than a normal arm without being too bulky. Currently we don't have anything even close to as good as muscle. Hydraulics are slow and bulky and electronic solutions would be too weak.

So pretty much what we need:
1: Something better than muscles to act as muscles
2: A lightweight, flexible material to make the arm out of
3: A power source to fuel off of this that isn't too cumbersome. I don't think you'll want to carry a backpack with 10 car batteries to run this thing.

On the bright side, research into controlling artificial limbs with brain signals is pretty far along, so that part will be relatively easy to get going.

>>9070343
first initial obstacle i thought of was the difficulty in getting the brain to control it, pretty cool how far along people have come in that field desu

thanks for the answer anon :)

>>9070333
our linear actuators are hot fucking garbage. nothing we have does muscle better than muscle. thats the first step towards synthetic appendages that are truly analogous. efficiency is a big thing too because human beings are crazy energy efficient when it comes to moving around. that efficiency also ties into the power supply dilemma. our batterys are also hot fucking garbage right now.

like >>9070343 said, the man-machine interface technology is the most headway we have made.

imo, we're looking at at least another 50-100 years before you see tech like that.

English has a remarkable capacity to allow autistic specificity in terminology, an autism matched only by Russian and German

I don't know, maybe a dictionary?

>tfw you're Greek and most of the words in math are Greek

>>9070201
I dont know the first answer without doing more research/looking at notes, but the second is because the carbocation is stable enough on it's own. a transition state is not stable at all, and is only seen extremely briefly, while the carbocation is stable (relative). But because it's a carbocation, it's extremely reactive and will immediately react.

for the first question, i would guess yes.

>>9070228
Well, thanks for trying anyway

>>9070173
They also were a religious sect, who killed a guy (Hippasus of Metapontum) who proved the nonnegative square root of 2 to be irrational basically shattering their established holy dogma, as per Pappus.

>who killed a guy (Hippasus of Metapontum) who proved the nonnegative square root of 2 to be irrational basically shattering their established holy dogma, as per Pappus.
literally a myth, probably debunked on snopes

>>9070600
>myth
There was a guy apparently named Pappus who wrote of the murder of a Pythagorean who proved sqrt2 was irrational. You can't disprove this, even if you go on David Mikkelson's fraudulent truth arbitrating scam Snopes

¿Que libro es el que esta debajo de los demas? El que pone Unidad 9, Ondas electromagnéticas.
