More people need to understand this. In engineering, only 15% of the job is technical. The other 85% is how you communicate with everyone.

I would honestly argue that a genius emotional intelligence and an average IQ will make you more money in the long-run if you can network.

haahhahahahhahahhahaha

you absolute idiot of a man.

hahahahhah.

The OP has stitched you up good and proper mate hahaha

whoah-ho-ho man! OP got me good! hhahahahahahahaahhah he really bamboozled me this time! good one OP!

The moon and sun are temporarily swallowed by a black hole (gravity and antimatter plus neutrions filled with entropy) and then when the black hole throws them back up (think of it like when you're sick and you vomit) everything goes back to normal.

>>8586761
Yes, because both the sun and the moon are round the daytime side. Your diagram shows that.

>>8586761
are you asking why people on the other side of the earth can't see the moon/sun that's completely obscured from view?

>>8586709
Google didnt have much on the subject... I found:

>Understanding potato chips crispy texture by simultaneous fracture and acoustic measurements, and sensory analysis

But you need to pay for it...

Can anyone here sum up why fried potatoes are so damn crispy, but only if cut thinly, otherwise they will be mushy?

>>8586709
Water is removed.

>>8586719
But dehydrated potatoes arent crunchy either... theyre just.. dry.

It exists for others, but not from your perspective. Those timelines where you did something stupid and died are denied to you.

We are all trapped in a quasi-solipsistic state, as a result.

Nah dude all of your choices are just chemical reactions in your brain that are completely controlled by the all of the previous reactions which germinated upon your birth.

Define free will.

star wars.
They believe that once we go to the stars, everyone can be piloting his own spaceship. They all want to be Han Solo.

>>8586579
Because earth sucks for plebs and they believe there's a paradise awaiting in space somewhere where they can be Commander Solo/Picard/Vader

>>8586591
>Because earth sucks for plebs
Ironic that it's whites bitching that earth sucks for them...

The ions from the salt are attracted to the water molecule because of its polarity... I think. Has been a while since I've done chemistry.

>>8586531
this is literally basic polar solvent/ionic salt stuff

I hope you're trolling brainlet

>>8586552
The only colossal idiot here is you.

Does that mean that once quantum computing is reality, we'll be able to create entire new worlds?

>>8586518
What's the simulation for then?

I mean, obviously it's not for sapient life. You wouldn't make a simulation for life, and then make it so 99.9999999999(followed by a lot more nines)% of the universe is utterly hostile to complex life. Plus a procedural generation that has to do countless trillions of cycles to create life at all is rather redundant, when you can well, just simulate life from the get-go.

And if life is just an odd side effect of the simulation - what's the rest of it for? 5% matter doing fairly predictable stuff, collapsing, collapsing, exploding, most of the rest just being empty potential energy. After another countless trillions of cycles, the whole thing just runs down and, eventually, every remaining particle spreads apart so fast that it no longer interacts with any other particle.

Why build this thing?

If the universe was a simulation, one would think there'd be a whole lot less wasted space and energy, and it wouldn't be set on a path for self destruction.

>>8586518
Punch yourself in the face.

Does that feel simulated?

To break the simulation continue punching yourself until you can matrix and feel nothing because it's a simulation. http://www.simulation-argument.com/

>>8586423
Proof or it didn't happen. You sound like a nutjob.

>>8586423
That sounds pretty horrid, I know I'd be extremely mad. Best thing to do is contact the author of it first and find out if it was really plagiarism. There's so much shit being written that it's quite possible he just arrived at the same results as you.

>>8586427
I should clarify that It was not accidental plagiarism. I have clear and convincing court admissible evidence that this plagiarist actually fabricated their story/evidence.

Go to your university library. Look for a bright yellow book with the topic you want to learn on the spine. Check it out and read it.
Works for any mathematical topic that isn't absurdly obscure or specialized

The amount of "rec me a book on X" threads on this board is infuriating. It's not that hard to find a usable textbook on your own.

>>8586434
It's better to have threads like these and argue the pros and cons of various books and authors than to discuss the "scientific breast size and whether or not do ayy lmaos probe us while we sleep".

>>8586459
A lot of dover books have poor signal to noise ratio as well, esp multi-versioned math texts where they keep adding pictures and more pointless paragraphs just to sell a new version.

Topolgy (2ed) by James R. Munkres is what you want you can go on any university site too and look at their Topology courses http://www.math.cmu.edu/~slepcev/syl_651_16.pdf

You can't feel it because the universe is 3d, not 4d. If it were 4d, physics, chemistry, and philosophy would be complet Ely different.

Well fuck and I happen to live in one of those British ports, luckily on top of a large hill.

>>8586336
Why panic when you will most likely die within 10 years anyway? None of this matters or will effect your life even in the slightest.

>>8586376
>It won't affect my life because I'll be dead
Phew! What a relief.

>>8586296
So you run into a measurement problem if you use integer dimensions on fractals. For example, if you're looking at a Koch snowflake, it has infinite length (dimension 1) and zero area (dimension 2). So we look at how much it grows if we scale it by a factor of 2 (arbitrarily), and check to see by how much it is enlarged by.

Since the number will be between 2 and 2^2, we know that the dimension is between 1 and 2. Does that help any?

>>8586301
>we look at how much it grows
how much what grows? you already said you can't measure the length or the area so what?

>>8586301
but how are you measuring size? 0*4=0 and ∞*2=∞

can you have a fractional-dimension size, and if so, can you have fractional-dimension vectors and matricies?

Bump I guess? Am I on the right board?

What board would be an appropriate forum to discuss this subject?

I'm not a chemE., but /sci/ has turned into a high school shitfest, which is a shame. I don't really browse this board much anymore for that reason. Maybe try to find a smaller subreddit that covers this sort of thing.

Also could this be used to convert cellulose to liquid fuel?
