How come all the greats of the past were spiritual to some degree, some even legit theists, while the current generation is a couple of edgelord gnostic atheists? Why is there no middle ground? Why are stuff like Deism and Pantheism disregarded as "unscientific"? Does being a "scientist" mean adhering to a couple of arbitrary rules set by pop-scis?
>>9080289
Intellectuals from the past were not allowed to say publicily they didn't believe in God and have to be very careful about other people not even thinking they were atheist (whenever it was the case).
In fact it is impossible to tell how many "greats of the past" actually believe in God.
>>9080289
There exists only a split between religion and science in the West. In eastern traditions, and in India specifically, what is believed to be religion is more of a spiritual science. Nothing in Hindu or Buddhist philosophy is to be taken in blind faith, but through direct perception of the truth. Overall however, atheism is on the rise because the world is becoming increasingly more materialistic due to the Kali Yuga, spirituality declined and materialistism runs rampant.

So you admit that religion is just about feeling good about yourself and has nothing to do with the truth of this world?

nigga ur whole fucking field is debunked, its based on debunked premises that humans are rational economic actors and that a free market allows for perfect game theory optimal knowledge of transacations/products etc.

What is the scientific explanation for ASMR and why did it blow up as a trend in recent years?
trends. just like ADHD, Asperger's and similar shit.

Fuck off this is /sci/ not /pseudosci/
the really good ones do have some effect, so I guess it was kindof like let's-play videos where everyone and their dog said "hey, I could do that" and then did it.
Is it accurate, /sci/ ?
If no, why ?

You can't get free energy from magnets anymore than you can from planetary orbits. If work is done it's because of potential energy in the system.
No because physicists will redefine what energy count as and come up with a new term to accommodate every scenario
no bc as soon as you try to extract useful energy from the thing the piece of iron slows down and stops moving
What are some (adult) games that can help me learn algebra? I learned that I memorize best by location and applied memory.
I'd especially like something that can help me learn College Algebra, but that may be out of the question.
Also, out of curiosity, how many of you guys were taught math/reading through games? I grew up on Pokemon.
The game is called exercises

What clothing do you were /sci/?
Do you try to dress like an intellectual?
sweatpants, white air jordans, cotton shirt with some sort of brand like coca cola pepsi reeses etc
north face jacket when cold
>>9079077
chucks, skinny jeans, striped v neck t, loud socks
>>9079077
What is dressing like an intellectual to you? Go to any uni and you'll see profs in t-shirts and jeans. Is that what you mean?
stupid sci-fi question here
every 2 bit sci-fi show has ships and shit with powered shields to defend against energy weapons. why do the energy weapons damage the shields instead of providing more power to the shields?
>>9079057
Could be similar to a matter/antimatter reaction, or the shield's wave function destructively interferes with the weapon.
I have seen at least one sci-fi shield where the shield did increase in energy, and had to be turned off to vent energy if it absorbed too much.
>>9079057
how do you know it damages it? Maybe it just makes it more and more unstable to the point that it can no longer hold itself.
>>9079057
Maybe just the same idea of an energy surge destroying any type of electronic equipment?
Proofs are just busy work invented to give math undergrads something to do since their field has no practical application or real world value.
Prove me wrong.
>protip: you can't
Because of shitty definitions and proof techniques, Cauchy taught his students that infinite sums of continuous functions were continuous. With proper proof techniques, we now know that's bullshit.

Mathfags confirmed for ledditors.
Why are viruses incurable or not able to be treated entirely? However you'd prefer to put it. Why can't our collective work and problem solving abilities at this point in time find a way to track the virus specifically or infected cells and destroy them?
Couldn't we have clean cells isolated somehow and left undestroyed to propagate new cells after the purging of the infection?
I don't know anything about this, I'm just thinking. Have a bug bite on my dick and I thought it as herpes. Got me scared af. Need a cure for that shit if I ever get it.
>>9079017
they can be, if they dont mutate readily. But certain ones, like the common cold, mutate so often and can even combine with other forms of itself to create new forms, so identifying the cellular factors to target becomes a challenge.
But smallpox has been eradicated because it was not mutating radically. Basically the same with polio, give or take a few cases her and there.
Herpes is very manageable with valtrex now anyways
>>9079017
So if you have herpes on your dick go to the doctor for anti-viral treatments to prevent breakouts.
Next, viruses tend to insert their DNA into cells and lay dormant for long periods of time before rapidly multiplying and attacking everything around themselves. We are unable to determine which cells are infected and which are not unless they are active, or use a DNA test which can be time consuming and expensive. We also can't just isolate cells and then purge the infection because viruses are all over the place. That would be like getting a bruise and slicing off the bruise with a knife and waiting for it to regrow. Our immune system is remarkably adept at fighting off viruses and vaccines protect against many different viruses unless you are retarded and don't vaccinate. Anti-viral medications help weaken viruses mechanisms of action and improve immune system ability.
It has been looked into where one might be able to trigger a wide-scale infection and prevent cells going dormant with application of virus propagation factors. Basically make someone super sick for a bit to clear out their entire system of herpes or whatever using the immune system.
Managable and curable? is that the right word? are two different things. Is there not a way to turn the cells off somehow? I read, and don't know about the validity, of electricity being used to neutralize the cells of a virus so that the immune system could kill them. Is that legitimate or is it stupid? The article I read was specifically about HIV.
the hell is this?

Creativity is super important in high level math. Any chink or pajeet can follow a set of rules, but it takes a novel approach to expand the boundaries of math.
Haven't slept for 34 hours, finally noticing decrease in my cognitive capabilities, althought i don't feel tired. If i continue what can i expect?

Stupid fag how do you do it, are you used to all nighters?
Did 24 hours and now slept ~3.
I felt horrible, barely able to study.
Did you experience any hypnagogic hallucinations?
If the earth is spherical then why doesn't the water from its surface flow down?
>>9077988
It does.
>>9077988
It does, because on a sphere downwards mean to the center of the sphere. Although some research implicates that force isn't the same worldwide.
- NASA is hiring a planetary protection officer with a salary of up to $187,000.
- Planetary protection officers are hired to make sure humans don't contaminate planets, moons, and other objects in space.
-They're also supposed to help prevent any alien microbes that might exist from spreading to Earth.
