Humans long for a touch of other human, as many of you may know. It's highly unlike a robot can replace that feel.

pic related triggers me hard, basically a surefire way to get some proteopathic disease.

>when I read the report

Patients shouldn't read their own charts and "reports." It causes all manner of problems; this thread is evidence of that.

>>8559490
But, it depends...

>>8557815
The economic reward will be so huge that they will certainly be a thing. Brazil and Nigeria will be superpowers once they get one up and running. The difficulty is a material science one, in that no known material would be strong enough to actually build one. But a new technology could be just around the corner that will solve this, it's really just a matter of time.

It is a brute-force approach to a problem which has much simpler solutions. The engineering and materials science acuity required to create something of this kind would much sooner produce safe, reliable, multi-use rockets in quantities so great it would make such a thing as a space elevator superfluous.

It's a very interesting notion, but we'll find a better way much sooner than that. Space elevators are merely a thought experiment meant to answer that age old question: "How do we escape the gravity well economically."

>Much simpler solutions

Such as? And yes, I know you said rockets, but let's not try to pretend that rocketry will ever be the less complicated science.

Watch it again but on mute. Does it have the same effect?

Now watch an ISIS murder video on mute but the sound from the space video playing. What do you feel?

You have no religion
You have no pride in your race or country
You have no sense of you past's philosophy, art, or history
You have no identity and science is a stand in for things that have been undermined in our times
Chances are you have a weak family unit if any
Hence the strong emotional reaction

Also, there is no scientific explanation, only conjecture when it comes to this

wew lad, not OP but you just described me, and i always get teary eyed by things like this. please elaborate on what you said?

>tfw im incredibly predictable

>>8560259
Probably math majors for 2 reasons.

1) It is a more theoretical degree.
2) It is a better economic choice as math majors make more money than physics majors in average.

>2) It is a better economic choice as math majors make more money than physics majors in average.
implying

>>8560259
Probably Physics because they need to know all the math, and apply it too.

Try using a pad if you have one.

I use an old Kindle (not the Fire) from a thrift store for $20. I can load PDFs from a computer, plus it's really light and portable. No screen glare (it uses the ink technology or whatever it's called). The battery lasts forever too.

Are you asking

A dollar exactly

Or

At least one dollar

?

>>8567333
65.132% for at least one dollar
34.868% for exactly one dollar
34.868% for nothing

>>8567345
edit:
38.742 for exactly one dollar

Comfy ringworld doggo.

REEEEEEE

Ok, well, just like life now. People living their lives and facing all their human problems and joys. Not all that different from living on earth.

those were some of favourite books

I did LSD once and smoke weed more often, I didn't notice any difference except that it's fun.

erry time

I use mdma. No real side effects in academic work, although I've noticed I've lost some general knowledge I once had or have trouble recalling it, but this may be due to significant acquisition of scientific knowledge.

Anyone else notice the more maths and science they learn the less "space" they have for other knowledge?

Where can I see your thesis?

Post thesis link faggot

>>8566887
Just upload to arxiv. Isn't it free to do that?

You don't have to be jacked. Just meet a bare minimum standard of physical fitness and not be an utter slob with a trash diet.


Go jog for 30 minutes 3x/wk.

Because there are more psychological and health benefits doing aerobic exercise than anaerobic. From my experience, most intelligent people I know are pretty active.

>study says that brain jogging has no observable effect
>study says that working out makes you smarter
Its all a plot to create more chads and boost birth rates. Im too intelligent for this bullshit.

I'm not an expert on this, but I think the idea is the clocks tick differently relative to each other.

So, the people on the spaceship see a clock that is going at normal rate. The people on Earth see a clock that is going at normal rate.

However, the people on Earth see a clock on a spaceship that is at a different rate than the one they see on Earth, and vice versa.

When the ship comes back, the clocks are desynchronised even though to each observer they appeared to go at the same rate. However, if the people on Earth were to look at the clock on the ship (when it is traveling), it would appear to be going at a different rate even if the people on the ship see it at a regular rate.

Read up on the twin paradox. Assume the spaceship is moving at a constant speed. If you are in the spaceship and are looking at the Earth clock, it will appear to tick more slowly. If you are on Earth and looking at the spaceship clock, it will appear to tick more slowly. If you are looking at a clock in your frame of reference, it will appear normal. Do you think that's weird and counter-intuitive? Good, you understand it.

clock is made of stuff
that stuff pushes other stuff and makes things move
stuff is made of atoms
atoms push each other by means of electric fields
electric fields excert forces by exchanging photons
photons exhibit relativistic time dilation
clocks exhibit relativistic time dilation in the same way because they are made out of photons

I think you should stay in school, study hard, and someday you won't have to buy cheap, tacky POS watches from kickstarter

>>8566510
I'm studying postrgrad mathematics and not interested in buying these watches. I think the marketing is a bit silly here - they don't seem to really have a scientific background. It's just minimalism.

>>8566495
That watch is fucking ugly.

Isnt work just defined to be dW=Fdr?

>>8566105
for some processes yes.

>>8566103
For a conservative force it is the - gradient of the potential. Literally calc 3
