Remember when SpaceX was declaring Elon Musk has nothing to do with Hyperloop?

It's all part of the plan.

Read this and compare it to Cucsk's 'Hyperloop Whitepaper' (protip: it's plagiarism at best):

Thus we don't know. He claims an improvement to the order of 1000 magnitude can be achieved. How? I would bet my money on nuclear TBMs.

Is it possible to have voltage without current? Suppose you somehow manage to remove all free (or free-able) electrons from a system, would that make it a perfect resistor?

i.e. what happens to an electric circuit when all the electrons in the battery/wires/etc. are suddenly gone? (and it exists in a vacuum, of course)

>Is it possible to have voltage without current?

We call those power outlets. You probably have some in your house.

>what happens to an electric circuit when all the electrons in the battery/wires/etc. are suddenly gone?
You have the most positvely charged body in the world. And it wouldn't work.

if homosexuality is genetic, why do homosexuals still exist? since they cannot have offspring shouldn't evolution have wiped them out?

And the fact that there is no evidence is not evidence that they exist, what is your point?

Do you seriously believe that the past is stuck into a frozen trail as time passes, /sci/? And worse yet, do some of you actually believe the future is pre-determinated?

I really doubt that the theory of relativity really is incompatible with presentism. It just doesn't make sense that time should be a continuous trail constantly building up like a fucking sci-fi movie. Do you seriously believe that every event that has ever occured in history is still existing somewhere in the frozen trail of time?

There's no necessity for time to be recording itself. I bet we would get some interesting results if someone, anyone, tried to interpret relativity this way.

The universe is just an eternal four-dimensional picture, which brains, due to universal limits of computation, interpret as a continuous stream of three-dimensional cross-sections.

Algebra shouldn't be a required class because it's the #1 thing keeping non-White people from getting a job, says chancellor of California community college system

As a mathematician I pretty much agree that it shouldn't be required.

But looking at people struggling with such trivial crap just makes me laugh. People that stupid deserve to suffer. Keep it is as a requirement just to spite them. Heck, give me an university and I will give those faggots an algebra class for each semester. And here is the catch: each algebra course will actually be the fucking same. I swear we will see people who pass the first course with a C- and then go on to the second and then fail that one, top kek. Fucking retards.

>Astrobiologists at Arecibo radio telescope issued an interesting statement about a 10-minute observation, in May, of the red dwarf star Ross 128. This is one of the nearest stars to Earth at only 10.89 light-years away. It seems the star apparently emitted “some very peculiar signals.”

They aren’t saying “aliens,” but the natural explanations have weaknesses. They’ll be observing the star again TODAY on Sunday, July 16, 2017.

IS IT CONTACT TIME, /sci/?

I could eat at McDonald's and get fat and it means nothing. Working hard is working stupid. Or is it?

Do I need to cultivate autism and the ability to work on one thing for hours on end? Or is this never going to happen?

a casio fx82ms will work for nearly anything, im still using mine at my engineering job when im away from a computer and I got it when I started highschool 15 years ago, havent even changed the batteries.

It doesnt have complex numbers or matrix support though, which depending on your major may be handy (I just did it by hand every time I needed to do it, but it takes a bit longer) I cant remember the model bu the slightly newer casio does have both those things, so I think thats the current best calculator (unless you want meme functions like a color screen and shit)

Am I an idiot for pursuing a mechanical engineering career in nuclear energy? Is a 100% renewable grid really a good idea that can renders badeloaf power redundant?

Renewable energy employs more people than all other energy sources together.

You would be an idiot for not going renewable energy.
