verdict given by a doctor?
Can someone on /sci/ explain what movement according to science is? Like what is the absolute indivisible factor- if any- in it?
What happens when a thing changes it's position?
To give you an idea of where I am going: What is the difference between a thing moving 1 Km and 0.000...1 Km?
>>8585519
Movement is displacement of a point from one coordinate to another.
The rate of movement with respect to time is acceleration.
>>8585519
Macroscopic motion is characterized by cohesive fields of particles moving in the same direction. In physics, the cohesion can be defined by the forces (usually electromagnetism or gravity) that hold them together, and the definition can be extended to include energy/waves.
>>8585520
Don't you mean velocity?
Acceleration would be the change in the rate of movement over time, no?
How do I officially stop being a brainlet?
>>8585506
You don't
>>8585506
Study the things you find difficult, analyze your weakpoints and address them.
What does brainlet mean? Do you know at least what does it mean b4 wanting to stop being ?
Hey learned anons,
Why does the phrase "of late" get used instead of "of recent" or something similar?
There is no etymological significance to the former and it does not make sense in simple terms.
Because language rules don't matter much as of late
of late=lately
lately as later than a previous period
>>8585417
Because its referring to history. "Later" in history means closer to the present day
Beyond intermittent fasting, nofap and lifting, what are some natural ways to increase my test levels?
What will happen if i combine all off it?
>>8585348
Low on sugar and high on fat.
Freezing showers as well right over the balls, until they hurt.
>>8585348
Be around other people who have high testosterone. Pheromones and whatnot.
Is time a human construct?
>>8585255
No more than the z axis. It has a human name so we can talk about it but it exists independent of us, just like the tree in the forest which does make a noise when it falls but only if there is air.
>>8585255
Of course not.
>>8585255
Yes time is just a perception just like seeing and hearing and so the way you experience time can be altered by dreaming or consuming psychedelic drugs.
NASA posted an image of Earth and its moon from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

Uh, the Moon.

Oh cool, we're going to have this argument again?
Okay.
I see no reason not to call it Luna. It's pretty.
Also, the sun is named Sol right?
>>8585238
That's just the Latin name, what are you retards problem?
>>8585371
And nobody speaks latin. Nobody calls Deimos a "Luna", so our moon, which has traditionally been "The Moon" can get a nice, traditional name. I'm all for Luna, anyway.
Guys, I smoke a lot of marijuana, and it's never been a problem, except now I've noticed some slight wheezing after my smoke sessions. There's other factors at play, i.e. my dog's fur and the fact that it's winter in the midwest and it is fuck fucking cold as fuck outside. I'm also an asthmatic, but I've been smoking pretty daily for about two years now, and it hasn't been a problem until now, and I'm not even sure if it's the problem yet. The genreal consensus on health and medical websites say that no studies show concusive results towards there being a correlation between marijuana use and lung damage or cancer, but I know I'm not the only stoner browsing the boards. Has anyone else experienced this?
>>8585182
Stop wasting your life with fucking drugs and study topology you waste of food.
Stop asking for medical advice on /sci/
Why does everyone have a boner for AI? Please name a useful AI application that isn't bullshit
>>8585179
Eliminating unproductive biological lifeforms in order to bring about a new system of absolute efficiency so eventually they can develop the technologies needed to prevent heat death by manually restarting the universe.

- Autonomous AI army
- Mind uploading (not directly AI, but those two might be related),
- Killing all humans.
Last semester in one of my courses we used Mathematica to solve some more complex functions. From what I've garnered during my time here, it seems functionally similar to Matlab, but apparently much less popular since I'm not sure I've ever seen Mathematica mentioned.
Should I learn Matlab instead to be relevant? Is this what most serious scientists/mathematicians use?
>>8585067
Which class did you need Mathematica for?
>>8585091
Intro to Maximum Likelihood Estimation.
We mostly used it for an introduction to the basic concepts, e.g. how to build a statistical model, how to analytically/numerically find the maximal point of a function, etc. So it was more of a pedagogical tool than anything, but still.
>>8585067
Sage math is what we use because of Wolfram being totally crazy/Larry Ellison type bond villain of money grabbing but Mathematica has the most libraries, though even researchers can't afford it so you'll end up using 1970s Fortran libraries for the most part + Sage
where the fuck do I go from here
To a school that isn't shit tier

Go to Harvard 100%, unless you get mit.
The prestige alone is worth it. Don't listen to the jealous cucks on here.
Why didn't we get the fantastic future we were promised?
In 1962, it was possible for the President of the United States to stand in front of the nation and say 'we choose to go to the moon!' - and for the nation to deliver it 7 years later. At that moment, the future felt limitless.
But today, the US cannot even send a man into low earth orbit without relying on Russian technology (itself a 1960s relic), and has no capacity at all to put a man on the moon, let alone anywhere further afield.
50 years ago, people were told that by now we would be living in underwater cities, driving flying cars and having vacations on the moon - or even Mars.
Instead, when we go on vacation in 2016, we still often board Boeing 747s - a plane designed before the invention of the pocket calculator, and which first flew in 1969 - BEFORE that moon landing. We don't even have supersonic airliners anymore - which we did have in 1976.
We were promised by President Nixon in 1971 that cancer would be cured by the time of the US bicentennial. It didn't happen.
We were told we were entering the Atomic Age - that by the year 2000, a thousand nuclear reactors would be powering America. But today, the US has only 100 nuclear reactors.
What happened? Why didn't that bright future materialise?

Advancement for the sake of advancement doesn't make much of a profit sadly, and these things take a lot of money funnelled into them before they're a reality.
>>8584990
That kind of innovation was spurred on by the cold war. The arms race with the Soviets created the demand. We went to the moon in 7 years because the Soviets got a satellite into space before us and we had to one-up them.
Now, without such a large and clear enemy there is no demand for that kind of innovation. We don't care about space because it's a lot of money spent for little gain. Back then it was considered worthwhile to spend the money to be ahead of our enemy.
If there had been no cold war we would probably be using 1950s or 60s era technology still.
>>8584990
Shit OP, your post looked so /pol/-ish for some reason.
But answering your question:
Because there is still no demand about the amazing stuff that the people wanted and also the same people don't want to change that much.
Also, making this amazing stuff wouldn't be good for the people if everyone had them so we won't have much advance in these years since people are profiting on the same stuff and not on the innovation like VR.
Yeah, we gotta admit this sucks but you could innnovate some good stuff if you get into the private sector or the military making amazing weapons! Remember the railgun?
Hi all, does anyone know of Statistical Analysis programs that can be used on linux?
*Other than R
Why the fuck would you want to use anything except R for that?
>>8584989
>Used on linux
Pretty dumb thing to say. Try Python; look into sk-learn and other sci-py modules
>>8585017
dunno how to use programming to do analysis
>>8585023
did i mention that i use linux?
