What's the future of NASA with the Trump Administration?
>>8712628
hopefully it won't have one
it literally provides no return to the economy while sucking up taxpayer money like it was gravy
it shouldn't exist
>>8712633
Wb Apollo? Was that worth our tax dollars ?
This should be easy. Brainlets need not apply.
trivial
>>8712530
was this supposed to be hard or something?
>>8712530
You only need one.
Does anyone know what this means?
Mess = not necessarily 0 but not easily expressible in terms of A11 and A22
>>8712065
Can you give a source on that? I couldn't find a more formal definition on Google.
>>8712074

it's an informal 'Mess', it's not mathematical terminology
i'm guessing this is some homework pdf and not a textbook?
hey /sci/, i'm currently studying to become a chemical engineer at college and my professor allows his students to use the lab anytime, however there's a catch. we need to bring in our own materials for experiments. currently i've had a lot of interest with the alkali metals and would like to do some experiments with them, however i have no clue where i could possibly get any of them, let alone how easy it'll be. should i simply put the curiosity aside or is it possible for me to get a sample large enough to work with?
Lithium is easy to work with
no problems at all there
Li->Na->K in water goes from Fizzy->Burny->Explody
>>8711794
i know it's easy to work with of course, we've done some stuff with them in my lab classes. the problem is that i want to do some work with possibly higher alkali metals yet i have no clue where i could get them. i know you can buy elements and chemical compounds but i never knew where to get alkali metals.
You can get them from any chemical company. Look at sigma Aldrich or something like that
Just out of curositity, could you be more specific about your interest in these metals? Are you actually researching something or do you just want to make boom boom in the lab?
Anybody want me to post the questions of the University of Waterloo's "Pascal Contest" questions?
I'll post one of the questions, I just want to see what you guys get.

bump
B
sqrt( sqrt( 30^2 + 10^2 )^2 + 10^2 ) * 2 + 20
mh, no more sure im understanding dis shit.
as a perimeter around all id say 20 + 2*30 + ~1.5*20
scientist popularizes like Feynman, Neil Degrasse Tyson, Carl Sagan
they are smart people, and i understand the need for populizers...but we should be celebrating real scientists

Try Sir Henry Cavendish.
My personal science hero.
"A man so painfully shy the only known picture of him was sketched by a college without his knowing."
Absolutely dwarfs Tezla.
Either scientists lose their ego and learn to explain concepts to brainlets which are not immediately "obvious" to them OR you ban ALL brainlets from studying science altogether.
You cannot have it both ways.
>>8711353
He doesn't say it's obvious, he says it's elementar. Sure coordinate change are annoying, but there isn't much to them. Just follow the rule.
>>8711353
It's not arrogance, it's a statement of what you should be able to do at this level. If it's not obvious then backtrack

>I know, throw ARTS in there!!
Fucking lol
If you throw in Womanstudies and jumble the letters a bit, you get MA STEW
so we had STEM, an actual subset of academia.
now people want STEAM? If we add the arts isn't this every academic topic now?
Are these gender studies do nothings so salty that they aren't included in something that they have to insert themselves somewhere they don't belong?
It's about funding.
There is a ton of extra funding available for anything that falls under STEM, so arts fuckers are just trying to grab a piece.
Is pharmacy a dead end?

Yes.

no, it's only going to grow more in the future.

How true is this SMBC comic, /sci/?
Currently 20 in college for chemical engineering, not sure about job prospects/internships etc.
What's your experience with life satisfaction over time?
>>8710892
it isn't true at all
>>8710895
Why? What would yours look like?

Any books on how to stop procrastinating ?
It's my main illness.
You do realise how ironic that sounds?
>>8710893
Just post the book, i'll read it later.
>>8710891
I'm also interested in this
Is she right /sci/?
>>8710547
>>8710547
Come on, you know she isn't right. First because she is a >she.
Second because you fucking know who she is. Don't even pretend for a moment that you don't know who she is, so how could you even imagine she being right about anything?
Please /pol/ get the fuck out. We all hate these people but bashing them is not /sci/'s purpose. Just make your SJW hate threads in /pol/ were they are allowed and valued.

I mean how big of a moon rock do you want to throw?

How big is the Universe?
Let's see how good your math skills are, brainlets.
without googling anything about this topic i would assume a sphere-like universe with 28 billion light years in diameter
>>8710352
assume the universe is a sphere with radius 1 then we can conclude that the area is 4pi
