hello again, Creationist dick-holster. I see that as usual, you've run away from your last thread (>>9023246) once several people called you on your bullshit, since you can't actually defend any of your imbecilic claims.


>Guadaloupe Woman: Miocene
not actually from the Miocene; was found buried in loosely consolidated beach sediment and was later claimed, based on a fundamental misunderstanding of sedimentology, to be from the Miocene.

>Calaveras Man: Pliocene
an obvious hoax that was definitively debunked within three years of its "discovery". a miner admitted to planting it, and chemical analysis determined it to be modern.

>Kanapoi Elbow: 4.15 mya (Pliocene)
that part of the elbow is nearly indistinguishable between chimps and humans. KP 271 cannot be definitively identified as modern human, and more recent studies have tentatively identified it as A. anamensis

>Paluxy Man: Mesozoic (most likely Jurassic)
theropod footprints that have been smushed by sagging mud. the imprints of the three big toes are there if you look.

>Tiwanaku: 12,000 BC (Late Pleistocene)
no older than ~1500 BCE. the 12,000 BCE claim is based on ONE GUY fucking up the math. there is no geological evidence to support his erroneous claim.

>Klerksdorp Spheres: 3 bya (Precambrian)
fucking MINERAL CONCRETIONS. you're as bad as those faggots who pick up an iron concretion and think it's a dinosaur egg.

It's all been said, done, and definitely debunked before. Scurry away! Go start another thread so you can pretend none of this ever happened! Only this time, do it on >>>/x/!

I know energy/matter can't move faster than light, but what about information? Could you somehow have particles that were entangled which could transmit information across distance faster than light? Could this possibly give us a loophole to do shit like 3d printing exact copies of us rather than actually moving from one place to another?

>Can Information Travel Faster Than Light?
No.
>>
Usable information, no.

Quantum entanglement is a form of information transfer but it's non-usable information. If you observe a given spin state in an entangled particle, you can infer that its partner, possibly halfway across the galaxy, has the opposite state, but there's no way to transfer the information about which state you observed to the other location faster than light.

im knowledgeable about any of this, but couldnt you use an on/off state to produce information?

Hey guys,

I'm about to start a degree in biomedical engineering in October.

I chose it because I've got good grades and it sounds hella interesting.

But I haven't really considered career prospects, money, or how future-proof it is in the next 20 years.

What do you guys think?

Biomedical engineering is a meme.

What is the evolutionary reason that smoked meat tastes so good?

We love salty food because salt is the number one ingredient in brain function.

We crave buttery, fatty foods, and sweet foods, because it signals easy, dense energy to our metabolism.

But what is the evolutionary reason for smokey flavor?

Is it as simple as: cooked meat has more bio-availability then raw meat?

Normally smoke is a huge DANGER DANGER to our senses.

Why does smokey flavor get a pass. Why does it taste so good, on a biological level?

I have a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering. I'm about to start in a new job (2nd one in my life so far), the salary is good the company's name will be great reference in the future, I can learn a lot here -- BUT
I'm so terrified. I didn't think they would hire me. I am a fresh graduate really, I have worked only 1 year since getting my diploma.


Hell I didn't even match with the expectations of the job's description.


They just thought that the work I had been doing for that shallow 1 year, is like super useful for what is ought to be done in this position. I used to be a technical inspector on elevators (most of the time, it is just writing down the missing "directions of use" tables, and requires almost no higher education).

At this new job, I'm about to create safety concepts of servo steering systems, perform safety analyses, and validate the results.
I know shit about this..... I have already accepted the job. What do?

I suppose you'll get some training first
>>
>>9026676
I hope too. The company is ThyssenKrupp Presta, only here in Hungary they have a pool of 600 engineers, so I suppose there are quite a lot of trainings. It's just that I don't hit the basic qualifications of the job, which were the follows:

M.Sc. in mechatronics/electrical engineering

Reliable software and hardware knowledge

Good command of English both verbal and written

Experience in development of embedded system

Experience in safety related project

Knowledge of safety analysis methods
Except for english, I don't have shit for this

I suggest that you go on libgen right now and start reading on those topics then.

Pointless experiments are happening all the time.

In schools, teachers are expected to take an experiment out of a text book that has been done millions of times before and we already very clearly know the possible results of it, then do that experiment again to teach students.

We don't have to know the result in order to know how to experiment. In fact, all the meaningful experiments that have ever happened, we didn't know the result of when we started them.

Doing experiments that actually matter in classes would promote better learning and help in the advancement of science. So the question becomes: how can this be effectively achieved?

I would like to propose my idea for a solution to /sci/ and get opinions on if this is something that is actually worth pursuing or not.

New experiments that have yield results worth retesting need to be tested by unrelated teams of scientists in order to see if they can get the same result. Schools could fulfill the role retesting certain new experiments by substituting the instructions for the old textbook experiment, with the instructions to perform the new experiment, performing the experiment in classes, then reporting the results back to the scientific community.

I believe this can be effectively accomplished using a website where researchers can upload instructions for experiments they believe will be suitable for classes, and teachers can review and download those experiments, then upload the result.

Does /sci/ think this can be affectively achieved? And if it can will the results of it be substantial enough to be something worth pursuing?

>In schools, teachers are expected to take an experiment out of a text book that has been done millions of times before and we already very clearly know the possible results of it, then do that experiment again to teach students.
Yes, this is called a demonstration. What's the issue here?
>Doing experiments that actually matter in classes would promote better learning and help in the advancement of science. So the question becomes: how can this be effectively achieved?
It could be achieved by relegating the experiments to actual adult postgraduates, rather than to children who don't have the fundamental knowledge or technical ability to run a lab.
>New experiments that have yield results worth retesting need to be tested by unrelated teams of scientists in order to see if they can get the same result.
Right, reproducible results. This is already done.

Go study your chem textbooks dumb underageb&
>>
>>9026675
>What's the issue here?
The issue is opportunity loss. If something can be done better why do it the worse way?
>It could be achieved by relegating the experiments to actual adult postgraduates
Are those postgraduates working for free?
>rather than to children who don't have the fundamental knowledge or technical ability to run a lab.
This obviously isn't intended for children to go into the a lab by themselves and try to run the experiment. It's intended to be run by a teacher instructing students on use of the lab through an experiment that actually has value.
>reproducible results. This is already done.
Of course it's already done. The whole intent of this is to do it more effectively and at a lower cost.

>>9026707
If you applied even five minutes of critical thinking to this you'd realise how immensely impratical it is, yeah, let's give schoolchildren a bunch of NMRs and IR spectrometers and leave the poor teacher to oversee the hundreds of thousands of dollars worth in equipment, let's also spend thousands on a COSHH compliant chemical storage room that the teacher would have to accompany every my little technician to to retrieve even the most basic of reagants, all while they should actually be learning the fundamentals of their subject so that they can go to Universities, where the actual funding is, and do their research there! What could possibly go wrong?
