And what kind of benefits would be attainable if we could do it?

>>8795217
>>8795250
You could see the fall of man, or the next step in evolution. Pretty much the equivalent of what happened with Einstein and the era surrounding him.

Imagine being able to first teleport a flower pot with a live plant. Society at first thinks it will be used for good, then they find out that there are extreme dangers. How will this effect the technology ethically? Will it be taboo to make something like that commercial - could it be the next step in transportation of goods? Then 5 years later nuclear weapons can be teleported at any moment. Then a couple years after that they find out how to teleport large areas. Then you can have entire populations die in seconds just by teleporting them into space, then teleporting the land mass back into place - like it almost never happened.

The real issue here is - how do we map and it memorize it in a machine form. How do we use it to benefit man? Can a single common man in his garage make a WMD? These are the real questions.

>>8795348
If WMD is a wave motion detector, than surely all of the pieces used to create the technology should be available to the public, if you can make all of the individual parts in your garage, then surely an exceptional enough individual would be capable of making it in their garage.

Quantum manipulation could already benefit man with a more efficient means of transportation, and possibly even structural atomic manipulation.

But as for how you would go about making it in a machine form, do we have technology that reaches atomic scale or are we still stuck at nano-levels?

The same reason why ice keeps your drinks cool.

Why does it lower the melting point of ice? What is this mechanic called? And why does ethanol do it better than sodium chloride?

>>8795089
>Why does it lower the melting point of ice?
You'd have to find a chemist, I don't know.

>And why does ethanol do it better than sodium chloride?
I'd imagine because the mixture formed would have an even lower melting point. But again you'd have to find a chemist to be certain.

Yes

/sci/ janitors are ok, better than the janitors on /a/ at least.

I remember when /a/ janitors started deleting the "ITT: overrated shit" threads. Sad times.

>>8794894

They can't tell the difference between homework and legit math problems, that is the problem.

>>8794664
>But the truly brainy people are the ones who create new tools, not combine existing tools to solve a problem. So how do I improve my abstract thinking ability, and in doing so, create new thought tools?

You create new tools by trying to solve problems that cannot be easily solved by existing tools and trying to come up with an easier way of solving that problem.

>>8794664

As for abstract thinking, I would recommend learning some applied mathematics. It will teach you how to convert real world problems into abstract mathematical problems.

All tasks work that way: you have boundary conditions and logic between them, then find a smooth solution.

You need learn :
Just learn English is more easy , and you will get more option
1-Numerical set
2-functional analysis
3-Limits
4-Continuity
5-Derivative
6-application of Derivative

thanks but I didnt know that those topics were called like that in english, because I try to find them in spanish and I cant find them because they have other names ;(

>avoiding GM food
read the label you stupid bong

>health implications of consuming GMO food
you'll be less hungry

>>8794429
You cant. With the level of cross pollination now polluting wild strains its practically impossible.

>>8794470
this.

OP, GMOs are equally as safe as eating """""Organic"""""". And I use lots of quotes because """organic""" foods have already been genetically modified by farmers via selective breeding. The new "GMO" is just a faster technique to do it artificially. So if you don't like GMOs, stop eating

Well if hawking is to be believed then virtual particles(paies) spawned exactly at the edge add of the black hole 'add' negative energy to the black hole thus it evaporates mass when creating a real particle(or just pure energy)

>>8793993
Explain further

A black hole is a singularity, therefore it has no real mass, or any that we can determine with modern technology. I think you mean the event horizon, so I'll reply on the basis that that's what you meant.
Hawking radiation. There ya go.

Sounds like u need to comme de fuque down . You're letting it scare you. Take a break, do something fun and come back and take it slow. You'll get it. Practice makes perfect

>>8793759
I'm in the same boat as you, I can't concentrate for shit. I do well with abstract thinking, but I really struggle with concrete and logic based issues.

Stimulants seem attractive, but they're not a viable long term solution. I wish I could somehow stop being defunct in this respect.

I would advise against it. His videos consist primarily of appeals to emotion and poorly worked out intuitions, rather than real math.

It's OK, but it's mostly basic stuff.

>implying infinite sets exist

try thinking harder mate

factor z^2+3z+2 brainlet

also there's a stupid question thread

>>8793602

Roots are z=-1 and z=-2, so not analytical on there. I'm asking about the interval (-2,-1).

The argument for

Log[(z+5)/(z^2+3z+2)]

is negative on that segment. Can it still somehow be analytical or is the book wrong?

>>8793600
because you can expand it as a power series locally at all points obviously

use another branch

This is actually quite interesting.
Of course Australia has the great artesian basin but i doubt that its large enough to make much of that land usable, and the east coast needs it.
so what methods would you purpose to do this?
all i can think is a fuck load of desalination plants (nuclaer or solar powered) built in SA that pump clean water into the centre of the country. once significant amounts of biomass accumulate some water should remain in the system, although it never will be independant

how bout just replacing the rabbit proof fence with a rabbit proof canal, that way you have water being spread all the way across, and whilst it would be saline, you would be able to grow beach style vegetation near it and the evaporation would lead to more vegetation further away form it. an it would also have the benifit of stopping them damn cane toads
in fact get me my shovel
