They obviously won't.

>How does social science work?

You become a grad student, you suck up to your Professor's political ideas by writing papers that confirm their own biases, get respect by your superiors, become a professor yourself and then push your ideology into the next line of students.

>Do social scientists develop theories and put them to test, by making verifiable predictions?

Some time ago they did, until they realized that science, specially fringe fields no one cares about, has no checks and balances so you can publish whatever as long as you p-hack it enough.

The wage gap is a good example of that. Literally made up.

But then how comes that social science branch keeps getting funding.
What is the benefit that social scientists provide to the society?

You can philosophize about anything, but it'll never itself be science.

Analytical philosophy.

Literary no theologian worth his salt will say this shit. This does not belong here, I hope a mod will prune this thread.

This is a meme perpetuated by Westerners.

Dark energy is bullshit. Dark matter is just matter which is not illuminated by light, although the exact amount is debatable.

>>8727086
You should read a bit about MOND, or about Erik Verlinde's emergent gravity theory. It totally ditches dark matter.

The Chinese expats at my uni are notoriously insular. The only ones I know that have any non Chinese friends are the ones that have to hang out with other people because of campus jobs

just wait until you see the Korean students.
when I was an undergrad, there were five or seven South Koreans in my dorm who we saw in the hallways now and again, but who never hung out with anyone else. and then there was, like, one Korean guy who hung out with the rest of us but didn't talk to the other Koreans. apparently it was kind of a religion thing? I guess Korean churches can be kinda shun-the-nonbelievers at times.

Shut up faggot

That didn't answer anything. Going to watch logan tomorrow, though.

I think they answer this in the movie, you should pay attention more lol
But I guess the "why a blackhole" problem is simply because there was no other option, since earth was fucked up and light-speed still don't existing in the movie.
The "producing light and heat" is a mistery to me too, but I think that the accretion disc of the blackhole makes sufficient to light it up and make the planets heat, even if they're cold, like that planet where is Matt Damon.

Thanks for the wikipedia search, now I know why Vernam is a cool guy.

But I don't want to solve your message, which is probably just something like "kys"

Pretty sure you need the angle of the curve or the radius of the circle as well

I have a solution but it makes a few assumptions.
1. You can measure things, like the stick.
2. You have either the ability to measure angles (perhaps via compass), or the ability to construct an orthogonal line (perhaps via compass and straight edge or using something with a 90 degree angle as a stencil)
3. The stick is completely straight
4. Ability to mark the midpoint of the stick. This may be done by folding the stick, if possible, or compass and straight edge, or just being very careful closing in from both sides of the stick and acknowledging there will be error.

Now. lay the stick down so its two edges touch the wall. Construct an orthogonal line from the midpoint of the stick to the wall. Measure the length of this line, call it x. Then by using the right triangle created in the diagram, we have:

[math](\frac{StickLength}{2})^2+(r-x)^2=r^2[/math]

Since only r is unknown, solve for r by completing the square or using the quadratic formula. Once you have r, just use 2*pi*r
