It helps when making troll threads to pick an example that isn't defused by the first result on google.

Hmm let's take a look
http://www.sarracenia.com/faq/faq5025.html
> The evolution of carnivorous plants is not well known. This is not because there is anything really mysterious going on, it is just that carnivorous plants do not have very rigid parts which are likely to get fossilized, nor do they make huge numbers of leaves each season to increase the chance of one being fossilized. I have no doubt there are great fossils of carnivorous plants someplace, but we just have not yet found them.

So not only can you not form your own argument, your snide "just google it" millennial battlecry has betrayed you. Sad generation, can't even question the world around them, since everything has been figured out by the all knowing internet.

this board is already one of the slowest on this site don't remove anything

>>8743625
Two problems with this.

One is that removing shitpost would murder this board because it's way too slow without it.

Another is that your proposal hinges on /sci/ actually having moderators.

>>8743625
/sci/ is a place for highschoolers and mentally deficient college freshmen to have retarded arguements. They are going to be childish no matter what.

4chan could employ strict moderation and age requirements, but they would drive away all their traffic, and they don't want that.

So what you get is a shitty 4chan-tier circlejerk losely based on an educational theme.

If you want serious discussion you have to leave. In fact there's very little to discuss with anyone, if you want to learn something you can read about it and then contact actual experts on the subject. /sci/ is completely useless and so is your life.

Yes I think the localization of cells is mostly determined by the gradient of certain molecules provided by the mother (maternal effect genes, morphogens)

>>8743408
it contains codons which code for amino acids that make proteins

different cells produce different proteins in the body, depending on their location and transcription factors that act on them. so, by containing the genetic codons to make all the body's proteins, they determine how the body forms in an organism

>>8743598
How to proteins determine the cellular structure of an organ?

all the geologists I've met are pretty cool, but don't really like talking about who exactly pays them.

lots of stories starting out like, I was in X national park on a survey when... why? oh you know some nonsense about fracking but anyway there I was .... yeah well they look at the parks all the time, its not like they are gonna do anything... no its public data, you know, it good to know whats under the dirt, and let me tell ya about that dirt!

>yeah I know Rex Tillerson, epa, rising oil prices yeah, water is important to, but ok are you going to let me tell you the story on how I got my friend to dig up my buried shit? I got a punchline and everything!

>>8742892
I enjoyed geology, but I think I'm gonna get a graduate degree in math or stats

>>8742892
4chan has autism.

>>8742891
Not really (and I'm saying this as a big linguistics fan). It has some branches with lots of cool scientific applications, but it's not a science.

>>8742891
Kind of, the need to communicate, but as evidence in the vast uniqueness of phonetics, grammar and etymology, it is clear only the need for communication is the same.

>>8742950
All languages are similar, though.

Moreover on the blocks, how could they be positioned there if the passage is smaller than the blocks themselves?
Yes, they could be placed there when the pyramid was under construction but it's wrong as the sarcophagus with the body of the pharaoh had to be placed up in the King chamber at a later time.
The blocks then must have been put there at a later time, when the pyramid was completed

You have to provide source.

So philosophy would be high intelligence and low technological contributions?

You need to be highly intelligent to excel in any field. Entry barriers are irrelevant. Top yourself.

>>8742446
Nah, philosophy would be god with math, dumbshit plebs cant philosophy
>>8742451
No, you dont, you mostly need memory and dedication. A math fag would be a better doctor than doctors - doctors are dumb af

The 'white race' (which is a very nebulous term) isn't going to go extinct.

>>8742392
Really... artificial? Given your lack of concern for life, why don't you just abduct beautiful white women for breeders and milkbags? I' sure it's cheaper, safer, more reliable, and Trump would allow it.

Yes, I did it. I'm a millionaire now.

Please don't tell anyone how to do this.

>>8742278

B...but you didn't tell us how you did it.

ok, i'm going to go win all of the lotteries in all of the states now

I'm studying precalc, can i handle linear algebra?

>>8742124
Yeah, I think so. There is a mention of derivatives in the second chapter though, but it's not really important, just part of an example. Although I'm not entirely familiar with precalc, since I don't live in the US or whatever English speaking country.

>>8742124
you just need decent algebra skills and some understanding of trig.

You can learn how to properly pronounce Euler

>>8741975

From experience my It's pretty useful if you work in Europe.

As a German, not very useful since all the German scientists work in English nowadays

>>8741873
thermodynamics had to change multiple times. So yes, all of the yes.

>>8741873
> that results in tremendous amount of disorder (=entropy).

Wrong.

>The entropy in the universe can only rise or remain zero. Could I destroy this machine and its blueprints?

Of course, why would you not be able to? You don't have information propagating backwards in time.

>Could I turn this machine on?

Sure could.

>>8741873
The whole point of the second law is that there can't be a machine generally decreases the entropy of the entire system. You can create a machine that creates local order, but at the price of increasing the overall entropy of the system (just like a freezer that can decrease the entropy of water by turning into ice, but at the cost of warming up it's surroundings).

The universe is homogenous. You will only ever see galaxies and galaxy clusters for as far as you go. There is no "edge." A finite universe is bounded only in higher dimensions or is complexly connected (3-manifold or whatever). Or the universe is infinite. Take your pick.

>take your pick

Whether its finite or infinite, None of them make sense. Imagine seeing the edge of the finite universe. Imagine seeing the edge of the infinite universe
