Consider the set of real linear polynomials in [math]x [/math] with addition and multiplication modulo [math](x^2 + 1) [/math]. This set along with those 2 operations are isomorphic (act like) 'complex numbers', and the 'imaginary numbers' are simply multiples of [math]x[/math].
Proof:
[math](a + bx) + (c + dx) = (a+c) + (b +d)x [/math] which acts like addition of two complex numbers [math]a + ib, c + id [/math]
Multiplication: [math](a + bx)(c + dx) = ac + (ad + bc)x + bdx^2 [/math] since multiplication acts modulo [math](x^2 + 1)[/math], we use division to reduce the quadratic to: [math](ac - bd) + (ad + bc)x [/math] which acts like the multiplication of complex numbers [math](a + ib)(c + id) [/math].
Not so imaginary now ay?

Organic is easy but boring (no math) inorganic seems a bit more fun, more maths involved and it's overall more interesting. Physical chem, though I haven't taken it yet seems pretty fun too.

Lining up remains of two similar-looking extinct animals that lived in consecutive time periods isn't proof that one evolved into the other.
How and why would an asexually reproducing creature develop male/female sexual organs and reproductive system? It is far less efficient than asexual reproduction, and even if there is some benefits to sexual reproduction, it's not like these creatures knew that, and just collectively decided to grow something incredibly complex like male/female sexual organs that wouldn't work until thousands of years in the future after they started developing them.
Even if they did know, and collectively wanted to grow sexual organs over the course of thousands of years, they couldn't do it just because they wanted to.
Pro-tip, scientists today still don't know the answer to this question, but I'm sure /sci/ does.

How much of an effect would a global thermonuclear war *really* have to life on Earth?
Considering everything that life on Earth has already been through (what with having experienced five “big” mass extinction events these past 4,000,000,000 years that life has been around), aside from the dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of impact events and supervolcanic eruptions, it has been hypothesized that Earth has already been through:
1. Struck by a Mars-sized object over 4,000,000,000 years ago.
2. Hit by a gamma ray burst originating from a hypernova over 400,000,000 years ago.
3. Almost completely being covered in snow essentially turning the entire planet into a "Snowball Earth" over 2,000,000,000 years ago after the “Great Oxygenation Event”.
And yet, it would seem that life on Earth managed to survive through all of that.
Also consider this: the most powerful nuclear device ever detonated by humans was the “Tsar Bomba” exploded with the equivalent of 57 megatons of TNT.
By comparison: the asteroid that struck the Earth about 60,000,000 and is apparently responsible for driving dinosaurs into extinction (while allowing the distant ancestors of humans and of all mammals to survive and later even somehow thrive through all of that) exploded with the equivalent of 100,000,000 megatons of TNT.
The asteroid impact was so intense that it released ejecta far out into Earth's atmosphere which was then exposed to infrared radiation, and the debris then rained back down across Earth's surface causing global firestorms and later creating something of a nuclear winter.
While there is no doubt that a global thermonuclear war would have an absolutely devastating effect to human civilization in the short-term, how much of an effect could it have to the human species in the long-term (at a geologic timescale)?

If the ocean doesnt get irradiated, life would recover in 20,000 years.
>>
>>8829064
Life didn't exist when the Earth was hit by Theia, nothing would survive that impact. I agree with the global point though, detonating the entire nuclear arsenal wouldn't manage to kill off humanity, but it would take thousands of years to restore a civilization.

We know the reason that zerbra/horses and mules exist is because they are mammals with a similar chromosome counts. However, their offspring is always infertile. If humans have 46 chromosomes, and dolphins have 44, could we make human/dolphin hybirds? Dolphins are intelligent mammals, the offspring could also be intelligent if it is inherited from the human.
