No, they can't 'fly', but they can 'dark fly'.
The marines have flamethrowers and fuel to last 900 octillion years, after that its handguns and boots.
The fight takes place on an infinite flat field, obviously not in this universe so no black holes and shit. The marines start in 1 group and the ants come from all directions (by foot) untill 1 team is 100% dead.
No death by hunger, dehydration, old age or disease but the marines still need sleep. No reproduction either.
Which team would win and why?
Depends on whether the ants are fire ants
>>8903917
does it? does it really?
The gravitational field collapses reality
Help me out /sci/.
I can't find any evidence towards there being satellites functioning in orbit around the planet.
Get a sat phone and go call in a place without cell coverage.

That means you didn't look.
Why are white MALE brains less complex than WOMAN and black MEN brains?
>>8902858
Having more ambiguity is a bad thing. It makes it easier for them to lie to themselves and never strive for greatness because they already believe they are perfect.
>>8902867
You are dismissing the larger point about woman and black man brains being more complex and evolved, white male brain being less complex like animal brains.

Some butterflies have hundreds of chromosomes, does that mean they are "more evolved" than humans?
How do we convince him that climate scientists do not participate in a grand scale Chinese conspiracy?
How do we convince him that the scientific consensus about the impact of humans on global warming should be taken seriously?
>>8902840
>global warming should be taken seriously
Like "overpopulation", global warming and climate change are both made up boogeymen.
>>8902840
>global warming hoax
>>8902842
>overpopulation is just a "boogeymen"
You gotta be kidding me.
So do you believe the earth can host an infinite amount of humans? do you even realize how insane you sound?
Hello /sci/ what are some important and engaging math topics an incoming sophomore in Computer Science/Computer Engineering can learn in the summer
>>8902464
>Computer Science
Math for brainlets, remedial precalculus, easy math with ducks...
>Computer Engineering
Matrix algebra, complex variables, Fourier transforms, proofs with basic set theory and logic, combinatorics, modern geometry, numerical methods...
>>8902464
study french for summer and read Cassinis for life
>>8904524
Rumor has it CĂ©dric Villani knows them by heart

About pi/3 radians, desu

Good analysis.

>b-but IQ
IQ is biased towards educated people
>b-but VIOLENCE
whites aren't violent? everyone's violent.
and everyone can learn to suppress their violence
>b-but CRIME RATES
give people education and a decent place to live and they won't rob your sorry ass
>/sci/
>anecdotes
>baseless assertions
I really couldn't care less about your opinion bud, I care what the papers say. Cite some evidence or shut the fuck up because all reputable studies that have been replicated say IQ is 65-85% heritable
Also raven's matrices is bias free

is skin color, height, body shape etc also a social construct?
>>8901269
>b-but CRIME RATES
another argument on this one is that if you look at european crime rates whites such as polish/romanians and albanins do more crimes than africans

Has anyone else had a similar experience with this shit?All of my other finals are done, grades entered, and I've been in the library for the last 12 hours straight and there is no end in sight

tbqh fampai, you need to be able to form good rhetorical arguments as an engineer. they are otherwise known as "proposals". your bottom line is going to be pretty similar to the next guys and if you want your design to fly, you need to sell it.
i'm still shocked when STEM dudes shit on their humanities courses when its actually pretty beneficial in industry.
Bohr, Einstein, Schrödinger, etc. Were all adamant that it was not only useful, but requited. Its an appeal to authority, but why do you think they, the pioneers, could be wrong?
>chembabby shitting on philosophy, a superior major to his own

Hey /sci/, what do you think of nuclear power, especially about the apprehension and the green energy shilling surrounding it? It seems like every other form of power source is more or less acceptable, even coal and gas, but when you talk about anything nuclear you're looked at as if you had just shot up an elementary school. Many declare renewable energy sources as better, but is this really true? Please tell me /sci/.
>>8899284
For the thousandth time, it's a dead meme and stop making these shill threads.
>>8899284
I definitely want to throttle the fucktards in EU parliament, who wanted to divert funding for fusion research into more fucking wind turbines and solar panels.
Nuclear is dangerous and can annihilate entire cities and destroy the world we live in.

Why do some people get A's without lifting a finger while the rest of us have to bust are ass to get a B? Is studying a meme? Am I just wasting my time?
>>8897689
>bust are ass
No, not a meme. You should study English more.
>>8897689
You're bad at studying
>without lifting a finger
don't believe the hype anon, people lie about this all the time
>get A's without lifting a finger
Kek, not true. Every single person I've known from class, since high school, thinks this about me. That's not true. I study my ass off for those As, just like everyone else. Obviously yeah, stuff like high school math came easily, but it's not like I just glanced over baby Rudin and decided I'm prepared for the exam.
Pseudoscience rage thread

That's not pseudoscientific.
Stretch marks do come from the body expanding too fast.
>It has taken nearly four years, but mathematicians are finally starting to comprehend a mammoth proof that could revolutionise our understanding of the deep nature of numbers.
>The 500-page proof was published online by Shinichi Mochizuki of Kyoto University, Japan in 2012 and offers a solution to a longstanding problem known as the ABC conjecture, which explores the fundamental relationships between numbers, addition and multiplication beginning with the simple equation a + b = c.
>Mathematicians were excited by the proof but struggled to get to grips with Mochizuki's "Inter-universal Teichmuller Theory" (IUT), an entirely new realm of mathematics he had developed over decades in order to solve the problem.
This guy basically invented his own realm of mathematics to solve a seemingly unsolvable problem. How does one become a genius like him?
I don't get how come some people can just work for hours on end without procrastinating or burning out.

That's because it's shit, /pol/ has better discussions about science/math than /sci/ does.

Literally go to the tallest building near you and look out at the curvature yourself.
The sun doesn't look like it's millions of miles away to me, just sayin!
What's the source of this culture of stupidity? Is it by design? Are we being unknowingly groomed to be as dumb as possible?
