expecting hard science from a movie, gee whiz

I liked The Martian. Very fun, especially if you know Science 101 and have played KSP at least once

2001: A Space Odyssey

Old but it holds up

Is he also afraid of spider web-like networks?

>>9147694
dude he might get seizures, and his body is forcing him to look away before it even starts

>>9147697
I'm sorry about the later reply. I got distracted by another friend of mine coming to me with some pretty heavy life story stuff.

No he's not afraid of spider webs, or anything small and nonthreatening like a top. in his case it has to be of a large or implied threatening size
but I believe that just may be his specific case of the phobia. He evens states that while he knows its not threatening when he looks into the spirals that he's over come with a sense of dread.

>>9147716
That'd be terrifying. But I don't know if he's ever had a seizure. I know he can look at them for a very brief amount of time before he starts pumping adrenaline , sweating and has to look away

How did you get past elementary school without knowing how to subtract?

Read ègal

Even though I, too, am wondering this, the answer to your question, OP, lies within websites like Khan Academy.

https://www.khanacademy.org/

Helped me when I needed it for similar reasons.

If you kill someone important in the field that is, you can have a lasting impact.

Just saying.

What a retarded thing to be worried about. Stop being a little faggot and swallow the nihilistic red pill already. Nothing fucking matters, even if you become the next Gauss this planet will burn and so will all of your accomplishments, so live modestly and try to accomplish as much as you can without directly worrying about how much you have accomplished. Gauss never worried about making more discoveries, he just did.

>implode
I've never encountered this but probably because piss and the little bit of air in the bottle cools after you seal it, resulting in a drop in pressure.

>Chalky white residue?
You're angling for a kidney stone with the level of mineral content you're sporting there. Get a water filter.

Piss is hot, and when it cools the airspace shrinks.

Salts precipitating out of solution.

>>9147358
This guy gets it, basic thermodynamics OP. Gases condense as temperature decreases, additionally solubility decreases as temperature decreases, causing the salts to fall out of solution.

>>9147337
WTF is density guise?

It is less dense than air therefore it tries to float to the top.

No, that's not actually an acid. LSD is an amide.

retarded potentials are old as fuck bro

Einstein learned about them and then applied their principles to all matter and he got relativity out of it

if retarded potentials could predict everything we wouldn't have needed quantum mechanics

>>9146498
QM is basically the idea that anything can happen as long as it fits well enough with what a person expects would be right to make them not notice.

A retarded potential is just the realization that the speed of light is finite. Einsteins contribution was to ask "yeah, but in what inertial frame is the speed of light = C?" It turned out to be all of them.


> if retarded potentials could predict everything we wouldn't have needed quantum mechanics

This is my exact point on inquiry , BRAH.

And there is more than retarded potentials at play here: the key here is finding a current density that satisfies the non-radiative condition...


This is what I've come to expect on /sci/: I post a very interesting tour-DE-force theory that can reproduce the results the QM (albeit here just in a specific case) and instead of reading the paper and seeing that it arrives at an analogous uncertainty principle, etc.... all I get is LARP.

>Don't strong and weak interaction know that they exist in a 3-dimensional world?
This, we can't expect them to obey the inverse square law if they are unaware of the structure of our world. We need to teach them.

>>9146436
I doubt it.

hey
dont fuck up your dissertation and lose out on the chance for any academic credibility because you try to claim that "x race is inferior" or something. That's about the stupidest thing you could do.
Make sure you're using ridiculously explicit facts and evidence, and your logical leaps are incredibly sound.
You do not want to leave something up to interpretation when they think you might be a racist.

>>9145842
You need the local universities of the shit hole places you want study to devise and conduct the tests, otherwise the long-argued idea that western IQ tests are biased will invalidate your results.

So some physics puzzle involving a wheelbarrow where people don't have wheelbarrows because they are too stupid and poor to know how a wheel or lever works will invalidate the results.

>>9146073
This.

You're already walking on eggshells OP. Stick to hard, numerical facts and try to remain as tonally neutral as possible. Avoid making broad, general, or imprecise statements. If you give them any opportunity, they will crucify you.

Currently existing artificial organs don't work very well. You'd be lucky to last a year with an artificial heart for example.

>>9145684
just keep replacing it then. thoracotomy on demand.

>>9145695
its not the artificial heart that fails, its your entire system, you cant survive for long with lets say dialysis or an artificial heart, they are far from sufficient, and cant replace an actual organ for long.

The chances of it happening would be the first number divided by the second number, or

[eqn]0/∞[/eqn]

There's zero probability but it's not impossible.

The chance of that happening is almost zero bt not exactly zero. Suppose there is a number, n
If u want to get that number again, the chance of that happening is n/∞ which is almost zero bt not exactly zero
