no, a historic one
in the middle ages the islamic world was the center of science and math
look up 'golden age of islam'
white people fucked that up somewhere along the line

muslims are white people
specially the persians who were majority of contribution to the islamic golden age

> every alternate existence in possibility occurs simultaneously, including ones in which this *doesnt* happen. The paradox births a new black hole inside each daughter universe, leading to the propogation of the Multiverse.

in all seriousness, no one has any idea because math = ded at that point. Probably something boring like matter just getting smashed together infinitely close or being converted to energy, but keep dreaming anon

There is not point, your just a random yet measurable clump of compressed energy that is spiraling through a poorly defined amount of "space".

But if you really need some motivation to get out of bed, then give yourself meaning. Trick yourself with motivation and purpose. Then maybe you can provide us with some sort of answer.

I remember reading somewhere about black holes so large (like that pictured) that would actually be completely fine to fly through.

Like, you could fly into the event horizon and be completely fine.

Does this sound correct?

>>9014240
What it means is just that the gravity gradient wouldn't tear you to shreds. You'd still be trapped, obviously, and your body would still be broken down to its base elements by the sheer amount of radiation coming off the accretion disk.

I heard it tastes like shoe leather, but all new tech has its problems I guess. I'll buy it if it shows up in stores.

>Why do people have an overwhelming distrust of cultured meat?
because it's just not natural. personally, i would absolutely love to try it, but that's not the major opinion. Even wanting to try it, I can recognize that it's somewhat "unnatural"

>How soon are we to having it compete with farmed meat in the grocery store?
Ages. That plate in your picture cost around 50k to produce if i remember right. Plus, it would need public trust to be able to compete with normal meat, which it does not. But let's say it does, it would need to be priced either competitively or really market itself towards vegans. "Vegan meat" could actually be a huge thing, non-animal product meat. Same with vegan-fur, synthetically grown fur coats would fetch enormous price tags from rich celebrity demands.

what im personally more interested in is manufactured muscle, and whether or not we can use manufactured muscle fibers to do work.

Platonic solids > Archimedean solids.

I don't understand why this gif saved as a jpg. Please don't roast me on this stupid picture of Trudeau. It's the only thing I had on this computer.

do yourself a favor, don't major in chemistry.

>>9002263
but it seems pretty based. I don't care if I have to specialize in biochemistry, synthetic chemistry, or material science while also picking up some meme-worthy shit like machine learning on the side. I want to do advanced psychiatric research or build the next meme material goddamnit!

>My degree is BS in that I learned almost nothing playing video games throughout my 4 years (started in Aug 2013)

you have no plans to go to grad school with a BS and bio? or med school?

you are boned.

>>9016629

no chance at grad school since GPA is like 3.5 ( mainly Bs and A but 4 Cs in biochem and calc 3/dfq)

no chance at med school cuz never studied for MCAT or never knew proffs for rec letters no research exp also gpa (3.5)

>>9016641
I got into a good PhD program with a 3.49. if it's not to late i would apply

>>9015917
what the fuck are you planning.

This

If it never changes trajectory /at all/ then no work can be done on the human to damage it because no energy is lost from the projectile.

>>9016295
yes. that's the whole fucking point

It's cheaper the fact that you don't have to build a new rocket every time

Why not just a parachute?

Khanacademy videos?

There's another thing that triggers me hard.

Symbolab results are different from the results of my teacher.
Why the fuck humans landed on the fucking moon, but there's not even a single bright mind that codes a fucking app that solves all this integral shitstorm?
Seriously...

Moon landing is pretty trivial when split in small enough subproblems and many people work on project. Integration have many special cases and honestly no gain of programming calc for every special case.
Sure offer 1 million for such app and there will be app for it.

If you are not total brainlet just study some more.

I speak english.
Yo hablo español.
And I learned hiragana and 200 kanji so you could say I also know japanese.

>>9015690
>200 kanji
>I also know Japanese

>>9015676
You're a brainlet if you aren't a true polygot.

Being able to grasp the basics of three or more languages doesn't make you a true polygot and I feel like that's what you are.

>(((scientists)))

Usually scientists use a system called the scientific method to come to the conclusion about something that may be apparent in a specific culture. As you said, for example X culture may like burgers and the way they go about determing this is by formulating a null hypothesis (an assumption). The null hypotheses may be structured as: culture X loves burgers because of a wide range of available fast food outlets. With that hypothesis scientists will conduct various observations, measurements and suveys etc. Based on the data the researchers collect, they will then accept or reject the null hypothesis and make their conclusion.

If they accept the null hypothesis, it would be concluded that culture X loves burgers because of a wide range of available fast food outlets.

Hope that helps.

They don't. Sociology and anthropology are a joke.

A more interesting question is what's with that huge 3 point gap between physics and math?

>>9015035
That's another good question. I always assumed that math took more originality.

Because

While Philosophy requires Very High Verbal IQ / the Highest Verbal Reasoning GRE Scores
&

While Math requires Very High Math IQ /
the 2nd Highest Quantitative GRE Scores after Physics
(followed by ChemicalE, MaterialsE & ElectricalE, MechanicalE & Baking/Finance)

Physics Requires both High Math & Verbal IQ / High Quantitative + High Verbal reasoning GRE Scores
(followed by English, History, Art History, Religion & Physics)

That's make Physics stand out when combining Verbal + Math IQ / GRE

What does swallowing Americium-241 do to you?

>>9014904
No.
>B..but it's deterministic
Right, but it's a hidden variables theory. So there are some variables that are hidden from us. Meaning that would only ever be able to use it to make probabilistic predictions.

>to use it to make probabilistic predictions.

How is that different from the alternative?

Holy fuck you insuferable popsci bastard literally go neck yourself.

IT IS ALREADY A FUCKING MOVIE. JUST IMAGINE THAT DOC ACTUALLY HAS A COMPUTER IN THE CAR THAT CAN DO A PERFECT SIMULATION OF THE ROTATION OF THE EARTH (WHICH IS ACTUALLY POSSIBLE IN REAL LIFE) AND WHENEVER YOU TRAVEL IN TIME IT JUST IMMEDIATELY PREDICTS THE POSITION OF THE EARTH AT THAT TIME AND THEN PUTS YOU IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

Seriously holy fuck. I bet you retweeted all those Neil Smoke Da Grass Tyson tweets that time huh? Please kill yourself. If there is any kind of human we could do without, it is you. And if you have friends who are like you then please go out a la Columbine and fucking kill every one of your friends. And if you know anyone else that is like you then murder them too, and then put a bullet on the left of your head and be sure that it goes out through the right side of your brain destroying what was once your brain, turning into a now even more useless mass of bullshit.
