I was reading about toroidal planets and how the right conditions could make it stable and liveable, and I was wondering if there were any other strange shapes for planets that could work and not just compress into a sphere over time (e.g. a pyramid planet)

it probably isn't the best documentary but the book is fantastic
Quick question.
Is it weird for a reviewer to submit his paper to the conference he is performing review on?
Obviously he does not review his own paper. But I still find it weird.

When are you going to ask him how he ensures his mind is blank to keep the control pure?
And how he restricts his negative/positive brainwaves from interacting with various rice cups?
Also, faster than light is easy, just go at the speed of light, and then run from the back of the spaceship to the front.
>>
>>8959986
It's even easier than that.
Consider a point. Now consider a point 1 light - year away from it . There, now we have travelled faster than light

Scientists and Engineers face a common problem. Which is any advancement is usually at least shared or taken by politicians/businesses.
This is something I have noticed which is a natural force by government and government entities to take credit for things.
If poverty decreases because of huge new innovations in farming, engineering, medicine, etc the credit goes to say the UN/government and not the technologies.
There is a huge lack of credit towards technological advancement through scientist or engineer work. Elon Musk is a good example of the way credit gets attributed. Employees are considered "lucky" to get to work for him instead of sharing credit by normies.
This is also common in say the curing of cancer. Where Biden is seen as a leader in the cure while doing nothing. That simply creating an awareness charity will probably get more credit than any scientist. See ALS ice bucket meme.
There is a huge misallocation of credit towards scientists and engineers. So much so in fact I feel if a singularity happens they should probably just eradicate all non scientists/engineers who advance humanity as part of such a singularity.
What do you think about this?
Example: Paris Accord will take credit for solar panel innovation when it is entirely because of the continued innovation and price decline per watt. Natural market forces will be paraded as "because of governments".

the scientists got their wage, so what's the problem here?
>>
>>8959797
Scientists get plenty of credit. What the Paris Agreement rightly gets credit for is increasing funding for such research avid Fernando for renewable energy. Natural market forces will favor fossil fuels until they are more expensive than solar. Natural market forces do not fund basic scientific advancements.

What's with this fucking meme going around that time doesn't exist. You can't just gerrymander the definition of the basic universal measure to explain, terribly, how you dont agree with it.
Time Exists.

Time is relative to the observer.
>>
>>8959775
They mean it doesn't physically exist, which is kind of right.
Time is a logical construct that exists because we logically require it to.
For example, there is no "last week". It's not a destination you can go to; that's why time travel is impossible. You can't go to "next week" either. Time traveling forward OR backward isn't a thing because we only register time in relation to the present.
Even if you reversed entropy, you wouldn't have traveled in time because (causally) you would have the point in time where there was X entropy, the process of reversing it Y, and the point in time with identical Z entropy. But you would still know X existed before Z. Plus time dilation and relativity make time inconsistent universally.
Time is just the logical construct we have to describe causality. Even if the universe suffered heat death, and had virtually no motion and no information processing, time would not cease to exist.
>>
it depends on the model. in relativity you have a four dimensional manifold that is the set of all possible events and it makes no distinction between time now, the future, or the past.
this is, however, a too strict model since we can identify the time passage intuitively (there's asymmetry between past and future) and that happens because of chaos and randomness in large scale systems. do they contradict each other? to an extent because relativity is not a theory of everything and doesn't take into account randomness but if everything was deterministic it would still be possible to both statistical arguments of passage of time and relativity to be right

Hey /sci/fags, help me: I need to the area closest to the vertex in these two function (image related) from 0 to pi/2.
r=50sin(theta)
r=-15sin(3theta)+35
the two lines intercept at each other at .4256 and pi\2 in the integral.
I have done the first section so really i just need
int{.4256}^{\pi/2} ((1/2)(-15sin(3\theta)+35)^2 d\theta
solved
But my calculator keeps shitting out numbers that are way too big, what am I doing wrong?

Terence Tao is a mathematician.
Edward Witten is a bullshitter "string theorist".
He doesn't even know what he is doing and the supreme autism Kontsevich humiliated him by proving his conjecture.
