Why do brainlets talk about false reality and suicide so much? Is it because they are retarded?
14 posts and 4 images submitted.
>>
>>8767591
Yes.
>>
People who aren't emotionally disabled realize that the best application of intelligence is to apply it to understanding social situations and using that understanding to advance through it. Human construction of our reality and suicide are two things that invoke deep questions about the nature of social life.

Stephen Hawking or Albert Einstein might be respected but they know nothing of the spoils enjoyed by one who can persuade and command others. Learning hard science has an incredibly small return on investment and is only pursued by those too unlikeable/autistic or stupid to excel through the social strata.

Testosterone is an extremely powerful chemical. Years of exposure won't be reversed by a few years on estrogen.

Men's muscles have denser fibers
Men produce more hgh/igf (which hrt does nothing about)

DAILY REMINDER THAT HUMANS WILL NEVER LEAVE EARTH

the ultimate sign of a brainlet is someone who believes humans will colonize other planets in the solar system let alone galaxy.

>muh they will just invent a way to travel faster than the speed of light
>muh spacemining will somehow make it profitable to burn a shit ton of (increasingly expensive) fuel every trip

human achievement will turn inwards, look at the progress of our personal entertainment devices over the past 60 years and compare that with the progress of our space programs

Could someone explain why American universities teach first year content that would usually be taught in European secondary education.

Because in Europe the guidelines for each subject are better defined, most of the schools are public and (most of) the teachers are better prepared for teaching in elementary and secondary school.

the horizon will always be 3°
Below eye level, as altitude is gained, so you never have to look down to see it. If Earth were in fact a globe, no matter how large, as you ascended the horizon would stay fixed and the observer / camera would have to tilt looking down further and further to see it.

President Donald Trump signed a bill into law on Tuesday that authorizes $19.5 billion in NASA funding for the 2018 budget year and adds human exploration of Mars as an agency objective.

Libshits BTFO! Will /sci/ ever recover ?

That's good, I hope people on all sides don't turn it into a political debate. It's about scientific exploration, I don't care who or what country funds it.
>>
Yet he's still decreasing their overall budget and costing them scientific research, and he wants to eliminate the Earth Sciences department at NASA for no reason other than a political motivation.

>Yet the new budget significantly reduces funding for NASA’s Earth science research grants and forces the agency to abandon several climate change research initiatives, including the Orbiting Carbon Observatory 3 mission and the Climate Absolute Radiance and Refractivity Observatory.

NASA is far more than manned missions, it has been from its inception, and Trump's motivation here is purely political, not scientific.

Manned missions are a massive waste of money too, there's far more of value in launching multiple robotic missions that gather far more scientific data compared to launching a single manned mission.

Let the private sector and people like Musk head the Mars effort. The US government should be more focused on scientific research, not pointless manned missions. There's far more value in studying the Earth and understanding our own atmosphere than there is in sending a vastly expensive manned mission to mars.

Tell me, /sci/: am I retarded or is everyone retarded but me?

Just to state the obvious for the moment, if n is odd 3n+1 will always be even. And with the exception of the number 1, if you take 3n+1 and divide that by 2 twice (or divide it by 4 once if you prefer) the result will be less than n. The larger the number n, the larger the difference between n and (3n+1)/4 will be.

now for the part that I'm a bit iffy about (though I'm not really a mathfag so this might be obviously right or wrong to most of you):
In order to prove that this sequence will reach 1, all you really need to prove is that it trends downward until that point since you are only working with integers, correct? Any sequence of integers which trends downward will reach 1 eventually.

Assuming this is true, you only need to prove that there are around twice as many even numbers in the sequence than odds. The larger the number you start with, the smaller the ratio of evens to odds will need to be.
Well let me put it this way:
50% of even numbers, when divided by 2, will yield an odd number.
100% of odd numbers, when multiplied by 3 and then added to 1, will yield an even number.
So how many more even numbers will tend to be in a sequence than odd numbers? Twice as many.
And since (3n+1)/4<n is true for all integers except 1, we can definitively say this sequence gets smaller as you iterate it.

>That's a probabilistic argument only

True, but they are still good observations.
>>
>>8766611
It's a probabilistic argument with inevitable results.
Let's say you do have a cluster where the number keeps on growing for a while. That will end eventually and then you will be right on course towards the bottom. And the larger the number n, the faster it will tend to shrink. Since you can extend the sequence indefinitely (or until you reach that 1, 2, 4, 1 loop) it appears inescapable to me that, after enough iterations, you will reach the bottom.

Would the circular runway concept actually work or is it a pipe dream? Would a pilot be able to handle landing a plane on a circular track instead of straight?

Sloped things are more complicated than level things, which begs the following questions:

1. Would it be harder to land on in an emergency?
2. Would it require more maintenance than a normal runway?
>>
Seems like it would require significantly more precise timing to have multiple planse land on the same circular runway instead of several straight ones.
I don't really get why this would be a good idea in the first place, sounds like a stupid meme like solar roadways or hyperloop.
