Why is cold water more satisfying than room temperature water or hot water?
>>8845233
Because your body tempreture is usually warm and a cold drink feels like a nice change.
>>8845288
WHY does it feel like a "nice" change though? Why does it quench thirst easier?
It's not if you're in the winter
What's the scientific reason for drinking lots of fluids while you have a cold? How do you get rid of a cold in an easy and non dangerous way?
By fasting.
>>8844828
I just wait it out.
>>8844828
assuming you get a fever, and you start sweating, you lose liquids, same when you get snotty
you can't get rid of a cold, it is caused by a virus, you can only attack the symptoms
taking vitamin c regularly improves your chances against getting a cold by an 8% (source: chemistry textbook something something)
other than that, eat healthy, avoid sick people, don't smoke etc etc
- f(0)=1
- |f(x) - f(y) - x^2 + y^2| ≤ (cosx-cosy)^2
Prove that g(x)=f(x) - x^2 is a constant function

What kind of engineering obstacles would have to be overcome to provide for the construction of deep-sea geothermal power plants? The relative thinness of oceanic crust could potentially mean that a larger amount of usable heat could be closer to the surface of the ocean floor. Is this all practical?

sorry, but no solutions are required after "final solution" has been implemented by CIA lemon party gestapo. So the world as we know it is in the dead end. You have to think outside of the box.
Distribution network from the source to the consumer would be a nightmare.

If we can improve our methods of transporting electrical power that we produce, then this will not be as much of an issue. We already have submarine communications cables, correct? Who says this couldn't have similar applications with power transmission?

i feel terrible thinking about this. this isn't about theories changing, i get that the whole point of science is to change a theory to better fit what we observe in reality. but the problem is, as time passes what if we encounter more and more contradictions, and instead of refinement we get this cyclic approach to our scientific model?
We're descending the gradient. Its generally a process of oscillation.
You will always be yin and the other yang, even if you are yang you are yin and the other is yang. Opposites are ultimately all equal, existence occurs between them.

there can be just 2 quantities of contradictions to observe
>finite
>infinite
if it's finite, then once we stopped observing new contradictions, we can draw a line and sort them out
if it's infinite then at some point we will start observing an pattern (if we don't ditch history while continuing to observe) and define that pattern
>inb4 what if we observe something outside of that pattern
then that pattern was not good enough and we need to constantly change it
that is what being flexible and open to new things mean, we have not stopped our evolution

the problem with science community is that they hijacked the light from the people turning themselves into Dr Evil in turn farming humans for themselves in similar fashion as in Westworld. So any and all science that you know is military deception of unobvious warfare - they just keep refining encryption hashes for various forms of slavery implementations.
What is the fastest way to learn a language? I'm a reasonably smart person and mathematically minded, but it seems most language teaching materials are for teaching a language to the common person with no background in anything, whereas if you have a basic understanding of grammars, set theory, syntax, etc., it should all come a lot easier if the language is taught in this context
Are there any language-teaching materials meant for mathematically minded people to make the process faster? Or does this not help?
>>8843768
I've always wondered this too. Bumping for interest
depends on how hard in da paint you're willing to go
if you have some understanding you can go all in with surrounding yourself with the language but try to use association to "see" the structure of what people are saying, basically you can make sentences into equations. works for german at least.
Ever think of that one even number that is not the sum of two prime numbers and just smile to yourself? I do it all the time.
yeah i think of 357 whenever your mom hits the scale.

Yeah 2 is a pretty cool number.
So... 10
I am really sorry to do this to you guys, but i'm gonna drop on you, possibly, the hardest puzzle you guys have ever seen. i hope your ready for this one! post your answers in comments ;) good luck
Already solved it

How does a lowly eng-en-queer approach this problem?
prove me wrong
log(y+1) does not equal log(y) + log(1).
>>8838501
log isn't a linear operator
>>8838501
y + 1 = y is impossible for any real or complex numberr

Something like IUTeich, Samurai-san can't even explain it well and everyone is pretty much confused about it.

In their math gravity and black holes make sense, but space time curvatures and quantum mechanics doesn't.

I just read the whole thing. I'm getting some serious Human Instrumentality Project vibes from it.
Man, if only they read /sci/ they would realize how wrong they are.
>>8842617
That was long winded garbage.
Is quantum immortality possible?
shoot yourself and find out
There's no evidence whatsoever of the quantum many worlds hypothesis. You're just as likely to kill yourself and end up in Hell or something
>>8840563
I do believe in hell, but that's another matter.
Should STEM fields have stricter entrance requirements?
>>8835304
This is bait
>literal /pol/tard shitflinging

>>8835304
They need only be as strict as they university deems necessary.
>atheist
Being agnostic is clearly the smartest highest IQ choice and I as someone who identifies as a 200 IQ demigod am an agnostic, but I have sympathy for my 100-199 IQ brainlet comrads who are not smart enough to realize that agnosticism is best so they identify as atheists.
>LGBTQ Activism
Sexual orientation should not change what rights you have or don't have. I am all for LGBT rights because they are human beings too. For the Q people... I am waiting for the science to get settled on wether or not they are real or just have severe mental illness.
>child free life
What's wrong with a child free life?
>consensus
Science is nothing without consensus
>Race is a social construct
It definitely is. Sure, there are visible and measurable physical differences between races but the way we behave with regards to race is a social construct.
For example, if you are some dumbfuck redneck who has never seen a black person, you will act weirdly with the black people you see. You were raised to expect other white people so you see black as unexpected. As foreign. Perhaps even as dangerous.
Instead, if you had been raised in a multi-racial background you would see other races are normal.

Can I make it rich with a math or computer science degree?
>>8843836
CS and programming? Hell yeah. Math supplemented with something practical like finance? You bet!
Sci circle jerks over pure math and endless quibbling over p=np and whether or not 1 = .999999? I'll let you figure out if that's going to get you a job or not
>>8843836
Obviously yes. I don't even have to explain you why
You can make it rich without a math of computer science degree, so unless taking that degree damages you in some way, I see no reason why you wouldn't be able to make it rich.
But if you mean making it rich by using the degree, there are three sides to it:
- getting a degree means social networking (unless you're a full blown autist, which you might be given the topic). You get to know people, people who might go places, and you might be able to piggy back on their success to reach higher incomes
- using the "status" that comes with the degree to have access to better employment or investment opportunities - or even better social networking opportunities.
- using the knowledge you get during the degree, or follow-up knowledge you may acquire on your own, to create a product, service or investment porfolio that will have tremendous return on investment.
You probably know where I'm going with this. Unless you're really good and ocd about your "trade" (math or CS), your best bet to make it rich is through networking, capitalizing on other people's genius or connections.
