Have there been papers published which use the data gathered from human experimentation by Germany in WW2? Is this data public?
>>8745600
barring a MASSIVE conspiracy propogated by Germans, British, French, Poles, Americans, and Soviets, the vast majority was destroyed.
>>8745600
IIRC the data is kept somewhere, unavailable, as it was decided they would not use the results of experiments that unethical.
>>8745600
I believe a lot of the hypothermia knowledge comes from Nazi experimentation.

Happy Uranus Day! Today's the 236th anniversary of the discovery of Uranus!
>still not urrectum
What are your favorite facts about Uranus?
You're mom isn't that old haha
What's the present day equivalent of nonsense like miasma, flogiston or aether?
>>8744879
"dark matter"
>>8744879
Global warming.
Oh, I'm sorry. "Climate change".
>>8744879
Plate tectonics.
Why are science programs better off led by for-profit companies instead of the government or non-profit organizations other than the shekel factor? Or is this statement total bullcock?
Money.
>>8744539
Depends entirely on whether the politicians or businessmen have the higher level of impatience (read: tendency to discount long-term costs in exchange for chasing short-term rewards). Could go either way.
This assumes a working definition of "doing science" as making investments with the goal of validating time-invariant facts about the world/universe.
>>8744539
here's how research works in modern academia
>corporate guys stumble upon something through educated guesswork, monkeys-at-a-typewriter tier trial and error, or dumb luck
>send their findings to a university along with a wad of dough to have the eggheads there formalize the discovery
>kick back a report/study/whatever

Been given this question, is there a mistake in the diagram or am I being a stupid cunt? Are all the cells the right way round?

The voltage sources as drawn add to zero volt. If the 0.2A thing is a current source you know the loop current. B, C and D are in parallel and each has 60Ω because 60||60||60=60/3=20Ω, the combined resistance. Since current follows conductance each carries one third of the loop current. Resistance of A comes from P=I^2*R. Loop resistance is given as 65Ω=20+20+r/4 and the pd is 0.2A*r/4.

It's just a regular old Kirchoff's laws task - i.e., completely abstract in order to teach you how to solve general circuits. Should have paid attention in class, dumbass.
>>8744409
Thanks basedanon. Yeah I should have paid attention
Do you think we have reached the point at which non-geniuses are incapable of making meaningful contributions to the hard sciences and mathematics? By genius, I mean 145+, not some abstract definition. Do you think that Feynman would just be a nobody prof at some U-State if he had been born in the late 80s?
The Higgs Boson was discovered 5 years ago. Not much has come of it. A brainlet with billions of dollars in funding and giant accelerators is still a brainlet.

What are the most poisonous substances, as in lowest LD50?

>>8742975
HF, hydrofluoric acid
It's deadly by skin contact if not treated within the hour and doesn't even hurt so you can't even feel yourself dying until it's too late.
It also attacks glass and many other metals.

What?
How bad is grade inflation in America? You always hear about Americans having a 4.0 GPA like it's fairly common, but in other countries only the top 1-5%% would be able to achieve such a grade.
A typical university class has an average in the 50-70% range, which would be considered failing by American standards. Either Americans are all geniuses, or they have a very easy curriculum.
The latter
>>8742493
Pretty sure the grade inflation is pretty big, plus they probably have good professors and standarised tests.
In my country at the top Uni for STE(without M), there maybe 1-2 people in class every year that scrape between 85-90%. Everyone else is 50-75%.
I dont think there EVER was anyone that got 4.0.
Pretty jelly of American education anyway. Feelsbadman.
Here you go. You probably always thought it was impossible, and yet here it is: a formula for the n-th prime number.
I figured out the distribution of primes; what have you done today?
And the first thing you do is to post it here
Whoa! You should submit it for the nobel before this amazing formula gets stolen.
>>8741888
Proof? dont say its obvious either, the burden is on you.
I always hear people describe themselves "smart but lazy", especially on the internet. Do you think that's the truth or is that just an excuse brainlets use to justify their failure?
>>8741687
>"smart but lazy"
Possibly true, formally unprovable, statistically unlikely.
It started off as a true statement and valid excuse, but brainlets appropriated it, just like robots appropriate autism.
>>8741687
I don't believe it. Anyone under 30 who is smart has no reason to be lazy.
Is out there any strong theory that supports the idea of Time Traveling?
I'm obsessed with the idea of Time Travels are possible, but I don't know if this is anything worth of my time or if I should give up with the subject.

GR doesn't disallow it, but we can't achieve it yet. Though, there's an interesting thought experiment involving an alien on a bicycle observing earth.
>>8741017
Please, tell me more about that experiment. Also, how GR doesn't disallow it? I thought it was the total opposite.
>>8741023
GR doesn't disallow it because it says that all space and time exists all at once, and it is your movement relative to what you are observing that causes time to flow one way. Here's how this works: Let's imagine an alien observing earth from lightyears away. It is not moving. When it is still, we share the same "now moment". But, let's say he gets on his bicycle and starts heading towards earth. The closer he gets, and the faster he moves, the more into the future the earth will appear to him. If he moves further away, it seems to be further in the past. This helps to also explain the fact that we see stars as they were long ago, relative to their distance. It's a poor explanation, I know. But that's the gist.

Pick one. CT scanners are unregulated, unquantifiable, cancer causing death sentences that should be reserved as last resorts in life or death situations, yet they are given out like candy.
>>8740040
A single 7 mSv chest CT scan to a 21 year old man will give them an increased cancer risk of 1 in 1273, and a abdomen-pelvis CT scan will give that same man an increased cancer risk of 1 in 636.
This is somehow considered "not harmful" by the entire medical community.
>>8740040
Got scanned by that thing 4 times in my life due to health issues.
Whats the worst thing that could happen?
Right /sci/ ? R-right ?
>>8740105
What scans were they?
I suspect the IQ of this board has changed as of lately. I figured it'd be nice for each of us to know how smart /sci/ truly is.

>>8737631
Maybe, but the incentive to lie in an online poll is questionable. Especially when said person would get more out of seeing the true IQ's than messing up the results.
>>8737638
Incentive to tell the truth:
Contribute to a servery that you already know will have more false results than true ones
Incentive to lie:
mild amusement for several seconds
The only logical choice is to lie
what are your thoughts on futurism, and how realistic is the possibility to extend one's life indefinitely within 30-50 years? how do you think this would be accomplished? through technology or cloning organs? do you think it would be financially available to everyone, or just the rich?
>>8732320
Production costs for now seem to be continually falling, with automation it will probably be within the hands of everyone if the trend continues.
Humans will be obsolete before then.
