He literally has understood how the universe works. He literally has discovered the limit speed in our Universe.

No one will get to his ankle.

>>8560724
The funny thing is that he had no way to actually confirm that the speed of the light is indeed finite at the time, he really went out on a limb when he postulated that, that either means he was one lucky son of a bitch or he really did have genius insight.

cancer is nasty, because it's not like AIDS where degenerates get smitten. almost anyone can get cancer at anytime, and no one's sure what's causing it. it's really fucking scary for everyone, and valuable people can quickly be rendered to nothing by cancer.

The /sci/ consensus is this isn't science or math so lets get ths shit to the bump limit

Well its still your fault if you can't predict when you will get cancer. People with cancer should do the honorable thing and just kill themselves because otherwise they'll just be an unnecessary drag on their family's emotion and finances.

Are you an arts or humanities student, by any chance?
You sound an awful lot like one.

>>8560034
Physics actually.

Though by the sound of your pretentious tone you sound like an asshole so it doesn't matter.

>>8560032
Because sometimes the material is actually difficult and you gotta sit down and work through it in order to really learn

Noah's flood refers to the flooding of the Persian Gulf.

You live in Southern California too?

I get the impression a disproportionate part of /sci/ lives in California. The best you can do is look at the precipitation record and sediment layers and examine past precedents. I am under the impression we are close to exiting the current drought.

By following Al Gore's twitter feed. Duh

You don't.
Until we fix the problem of no one reproducing new findings to establish their credibility, you have to treat every breakthrough as its false until it's actually given practical use.

Barring that, peer reviewed journals.

Prove that it does indeed produce thrust first.

its use drains some type of unknown essential energy from humans / earth.
by the time it is confirmed there will already be irreparable damage done.

Ok, has anybody looked into capillary thrust? The low pressure setup + nonisotropic heating makes it look like a crookes radiometer.

>But this is highly unlikely due to the clear sin wave pattern depicted in the time lapse.

Polar orbit satellite? Surely that's the most likely pattern?

>>8559459
Wow, this looks extraordinarily like the pattern seen in the video: sin waves out of phase. Well, I guess if nothing happens by next week, I know what happened lol.

>It is now theorized that the two events may have been correlated, and that the energy buildup in the atmosphere can cause adverse effects below the Earth's surface.

>collatz conjecture is actually a conjecture

Taking the bait here....
1. What you wrote there is not a conjecture, but an algorithm.
2. Given that you probably wanted to give the conjecture that your algorithm terminates for every initial n: You literally took the part that made it hard to prove and left it out.
Because when you have an odd number, you add 1. Then you've got an even number which you then have to divide by 2. So basically all you do is those two operations:
a) Divide by 2
b) Add one and then divide by 2.
Because both those operations always leave you with an n smaller than the n before, you can easily prove this by induction.

It's not that easy with collatz because your operation when odd is (3n+1)/2 which actually results in a outcome > n. This means that n could actually start to diverge or enter a cycle for a specific starting n.

Ah yes, the good old n + 1 conjecture.

um the space program with cameras/videos of our round earth from orbit and the moon

So you're just one more guy who just believe in things because you was told so.
You have no valid argument, you pleb

>Who can give me a valid argument to disprove flat earth theory ?
Lunar eclipses.

>>8560609
It doesn't

>>8560614
Now I don't believe this changes anything, but what if the two terms I'm adding are technically equal and are proportions. Is the solution in the same proportion?

>>8560631
Even if the two terms are equal, that would not be a correct solution because you can't add the denominators.

I have vivid dreams all the time due to a sleep medication I take. Shit's so cash.

>>8560294
the main dream from last night was like this weird murder mystery, except it wasn't a murder, I don't even think the mystery was specified but it was centered around a highschool football (soccer for Americans) team and I somehow got on the team but before we took the field for a big game all the sprinklers went off inside and then it started raining outside, so I took my shoes off and ran off the field. Then all the players and coaches started following me and locking doors as I tried to escape and eventually I found an unlocked hatch and a key on the ground inside, like someone was also trying to escape. It was Gollum from LOTR. He tried to kill me and in a little tussle we rolled off the side of the structure and started falling and in order to defeat him I had to sign my name and hug him, so I did and then he turned into my brother and we both died while crying.

So fucking weird.

The active times are those nights you ate food too close to bedtime. Don't eat anything within 5 hours before bedtime.

yo guys come discuss why this book is hard as fuck like what the fuck

>>8559684
I took a class where this was a """required""" book. Only ever used it for a few homework problems. The teacher was borderline retarded and overall the class was pretty straightforward.

God

>>8558802

metaphysically speaking, sure, God. but what kind of God, the omnipotent being version of God clearly defy empirical logic.

>>8558794
Logic is an extrapolation of the law of identity.
Law of identity cones from where?
No fucking clue.
