But anon, what is there not to understand? It's just open sets.

>>8974056
The topology you will be seeing will be very basic. Don't worry. In fact, you won't even get past metric spaces.

Just took a calculus iii test today, in fact. Everything from partial derivatives through Lagrange multipliers, and everything on sequences and series up to power sets.
God DAMN it was brutal.

The absolute truth is that there is no absolute truth.

Maybe the goverment is hiding something from us on the moon.

> there's little to know atmosphere to shield people from cosmic radiation
The Moon is hard vacuum. There's an 'atmosphere,' but in terms of radiation shielding, there is nothing.

>>There's frozen water on the Moon
That's still a pretty goddamn big question. We have yet to explore the permanently shadowed craters where frozen water is supposed to exist on the Moon. I mean we know it's there from the LCROSS experiment, but we don't know what the actual environment is like in the crater. Is water mixed in with the regolith, buried under it? We just don't know. Exactly how much water the moon has is still a pretty big question.

>>frozen water would be quicker on the Moon as the Moon is much smaller than Mars
That argument does not make any sense.

So the problem with water on the Moon is that it's in permanently shadowed craters, this makes it hard to get at. Because how are most of our rovers powered again? That's right with solar power. And somebody decided it was a good idea to waste a good deal of NASA's plutonium on a Mars rover instead of a fucking awesome rover for exploring craters that haven't seen the light of day for millions of years.

>>colony
colonies imply people. People require an assload of resources to keep alive. Fuck that. Instead we should build a self replicating robot factory. With a modest mass sent to the Moon we could have self-sustaining robotic industry up there. With that industry we can build solar power satellites, which provide value on earth, from lunar resources.

>>We should really explore our Earth fully before leaving for a broken dead one
that's a load of bullshit. What does explore earth fully even mean? Does it mean explore earth's entire volume?

It's very expensive and governments prefer to pay for Africans who breed like rats rather than for space exploration.

It's technically impossible: You can't live on the Moon in the mid term because the gravity is so weak that your bones will melt.

It's not the subject per se, but the cancerous students that think they qill be 1337 haxors.

First year CS/Comp&Network Engineering double student here, would like to know why /sci/ hates CS. I'm not about to defend the students, majority of the people in my Java class are exactly as >>8971151 describes.

>this kills the mcdonalds employee who voted for 15$ minimum wage

And yet, outside a few cherrypicked pictures on the internet these basically don't exist. I have never seen one in my life. I'm willing to bet YOU have never seen one in your life.

>>8966898
lel you people just don't get it

those machines popped up in Russia five years ago where the minimum wage is $0.50/hr

Joe bumblefuck of McDonald's demanding a pay bump from $11/hr to $15/hr has fuck all to do with it

Nuclear power is a meme that people only support to look smarter.

Like, I'm all for Bill Nye, but why are you calling him a "scientist" in this context? Also, Bernie is also similarly great, but this is one his huge blind spots, and AFAIK IIRC he's not a scientist either. Not gonna watch it. It's just as bad as garden variety climate change deniers.

>>8953799
>why are you calling him a "scientist" in this context
He means to imply it's non-scientists that have created the global warming hoax or whatever

plus he hates bill nye and sanders

What?
If you're having a tactile hallucination, you're the only one experiencing it. I don't think that would qualify.

Shit server

I thought i was the square root of -1. Does this mean that an infinite sum of imaginary numbers is a real one? wow

>the sum of i for i to infinity equals minus a twelfth
What did he mean by this?

you don't have to "believe" shit you brainlet. if you don't have the intuition you read the proof and then you try to understand it
