What's the superior way to write k-hat?
Nice digits senpai
k̂

I think the best k-hat is no k-hat, if you're really autistic about it then use \widehat{k}:
[math]
\widehat{k}

what's /sci/ fav. number? mine's 9, if you haven't guessed by now.
125 is mine. 5^3 is pretty lit. A prime number a prime number of times
Mine is -1/12
mine's the number of lick it takes to get to the tootsie troll center of a tootsie pop
What if Ted Kacyzinski was actually an idiot that panicked over the ultimate fate of humanity when it's the only way for us to reign supreme over galactic life-forms even if only spiritually?
What if OP was a faggot
What if first post was best post?

Look around you. There is your answer.
why the fuck is it this warm in february /sci/
It's 3° above average atm., but that the max is far beyond that. I'm not surprised.
>>8697639
i'm in nyc tho
It'll get colder later burger. It got kinda warm here for a while too.
how can a site be so based?
I don't know.
I'd still be a humanitiesfag if it weren't for it.

Information in the digital world is a post-scarcity resource. It's inevitable to become free since infinite supply means price approaches zero according to basic supply and demand rules.
What is thi9s gay shit, sat help? If you can't ace an act/sat on your first try please kys.

Is rape biologically traumatic to the mind, or has it just been made out to be traumatic by our culture?
Don't put locks on your doors because thieves should know better.

I see you don't read words, only look at pictures.
Will aging be treatable within the 21st century?
Maybe, but if it is treatable, none of us will be able to afford it.
Of course it will. Just give me your shekels, goy... I mean guys :)
Sub molecular DNA damage, stay away from carcinogens and find a non carcinogenic means of controlling stress.
You will thus age gracefully.
Tell me everything wrong with thorium besides thorium refinement and the need for plutonium or uranium.
The entire problem with the fantasy comes down to dealing with two words.
Molten salt.
>>8702063
Shouldn't it be trivial to deal with molten salt
>>8702092
No... salt of any kind is very corrosive. Molten salt would be a nightmare to deal with from an engineering standpoint. What are you going to make all these pipes out of?
Does high intelligence always go hand in hand with good taste in music?
>>8701671
Yes I believe so. I'm highly intelligent (aced all my Calculus I,II and differential equations exams) and I listen mostly to the great composers such as Bach, Mozart etc. Everything else such as metal, pop, electronic are for brainlets which I dont associate with.
>>8701671
No, I love trap.
However it is high quality and in my opinion musical genius.

They get to have ID's and stuff. This is a legitimate question. Wouldn't we be able to cut down on a lot of the garbage posting if we had ID too?
I understand why Qst needs ID, for convenience of highlighting posts, but /Pol/ over /Sci/? Seems like both should be treated the same.
How would that cut down garbage posting?
>>8701456
Stopping same person pretending to be more than one person would be one.
Can you think of any others?
It would definitely make my percieved shitposting a lot easier
hey /sci/, /pol/ here
so we build a colony ship or a few and send them at sub-light speed to the trappist system, then once we've perfected ftl drives we send a few ships to the trappist system to establish a colony ahead of the sub-light colony ships (since they're much faster).
i think if during the sub-light ship design/build process you push the idea just right, you could motivate society to come together under a shared goal, even to get tons of people volunteering to risk their lives for such a journey. the sub-light ships are essentially an investment, the payoff being the highly advanced earthlings rolling out the red carpet when you arrive. and it's motivating to be a researcher to design the colony ship, and even more so the ftl drives, which could actually motivate kids to go into stem degrees for a purpose that isn't money.
there's a burning in my chest, and i know you feel it too. we've been sitting on our hands yelling at each other for decades now. with this one project, this singular goal, we could bring just about everyone into the fold. there's making the steel needed, designing the ship, charting the course, screening the astronauts, training to be the astronauts, making the food, genetically modifying plants... we're putting earth in a box so everyone can help, from commanding the project all the way down to folding bedsheets.
how feasible would this project be?

its one of those things people who dont actually study math but know the names of different fields of math make
>>8701323
yeah, some aspects of analysis are arguably more complex than category theory. To put it in perspective, the Riemann hypothesis is technically analysis.
Whats the actual reach of a thing like the Fourier Transform?
If its able to separate into simple parts complex data, then can we synthesize human behavior and therefore make it predictable? or, at least do it with masses behavior?
>>8700920
You're making things too complicated. Fourier Transform simply means you can take any function and turn it into another function that is made up of nothing by sines and cosines. That's it. That's all it is. Of course any sine or cosine have a frequency to it, i.e. the thing in the parentheses. The Frequency domain is simply the range of all the different values in the sines and cosines.
You're being fooled by a pseudo intellectual to think it is anything beyond.
>>8700920
>If its able to separate into simple parts complex data, then can we synthesize human behavior and therefore make it predictable?
wat
>>8700920
"then can we synthesize human behavior and therefore make it predictable?"
You're definitely looking too deeply into it. It's simply another tool used in analysis of data in which you can obtain insight from frequencies within.
This is extremely useful when dealing with things like modulated signals in communication systems, general electrical signals, audio, etc.
It can be used to analyze human behavior as long as you can gather enough information in which a fourier transform will give you insight on the frequency of the action.

How much of a meme is it, sci?
Apparently there's people at NASA 'working on it'. Could there actually be a team determining how it would work and if it's feasable? Or is it all bullshit?
Am brainlet, educate me.
>>8700906
it already exists, just we can't share it with you.
>>8700906
It's mathematically viable. There are no proven physics that can duplicate the mathematics. Don't get your hopes up.
>>8700906
We need to find exotic matter to make it work
Exotic matter may not even be a thing
