I head this board believes that commercial nuclear fusion power plants are realistically impossible. Why is that?
We're so close now... Closer than we've ever been
come on you bunch of faggots, reply to my fucking thread you sacks of shit! I want to talk about the energy sources of the future!
there's a fucking crystals thread more successful than my thread right now, this is unacceptable.
Normies don't want to do the maintenance.
I've only been setting my alarm to 6AM for the past 2 weeks and I've noticed something very strange.
Somehow I feel completely conscious throughout my sleep and because of that I always wake up just seconds before the alarm goes off at 6:25 on the dot.
I'm not even joking. I literally wake up before it goes off by SECONDS. Is there any neurological or psychological reason for this?
>>8543727
You don't, you are just not aware of the very first sound that leads to your wake up. Also,takes a bit of time for your brain to process information like the sound of the alarm bell during your wake up.
I am experiencing a similar thing, i always wake up a minute or two before the alarm whatever the time i set it to is, i'm sure that it's not the alarm that wakes me up because i get up and it hasn't set off yet.
until he came about and rigorized it
is that accurate?

is thios cultjural fair ???

The solution is obviously to line the feminists up against the wall.

even better, it's culturally progressive
Fusion power research is objectively a waste of money, resources and time because it will never be cost-competitive with fission, let alone other energy sources. The only viable long-term use for fusion is maybe a space colony around Neptune where heavy uranics simply cannot be found compared to lithium and deuterium.
The only reason people here like fusion is because it's "cool science XD" and they are kids who can't into cost-benefit analysis. How do we put a stop to the fusion meme, /pol/?
Your post on a Japanese image board have a lot of weight in the scientific community. Due to your rigorous analysis, we have decided to halt progress with fusion reactors. All tokamak's have now been made contractable.
We want to give you an award for how much money your saving us, please give us a name for your statue.

Today, we have a 29 year old male presenting with severe pleuritic chest pain, Shortness of breath, and 1+ bilateral pedal edema. On pulse ox, he has 80% O2 saturation. What labs will you order next? What is you're differential diagnosis?
>>8546988
sarcoidosis
>>8546988
Is he fat?
Pulmonary embolism from some clot in his legs I guess.
Just give him some anti-clotting medication and o2. Monitor him for a few days, send him to a GP afterwards.
>>8546990
Nope, but good gues

Isn't that standard?
MATLAB is the shit, nigger. Spend some time actually learning it, and pretty soon you'll wish it had a cock you could suck.
I have heard so many scientists saying, that it is not possible to go faster than light or as fast, because you would need more energy the higher your speed is.
Now my thought was that these statements are wrong. In my Physical understanding I have this hypothesis:
If you start from one Point lets call it A and excellerate to 70% speed of light going to the direction of B. (in space many objects are moving in a very fast speed) soo lets say that faar away I have reached a galaxy or another object/ orientation point B that is almost as fast as me moving away for example 60% speed of light. so now in Relativity to B i am now only on 10% of the speed of light and I accelerate again relative to B in the same direction I was before to point C with 70% speed of light than iIwould have 130% speed of light in relativity to A.
I´m sorry for my bad explannations but these physics fuck my brain.
tl;dr
A->B travelled with 70% speed of light relative to start point
and B->C travelled with 70% speed of light
teach me if im wrong relative to start point
cant equal 100% or more relatively seen A->C?

if you could speak english I'd probably be assed to try and explain

If you can't comprehend what OP is stating than I have some bad news for you; you are a brainlet.
>>8546897
From my understanding we've never seen it done so we assume it's impossible, similar to how it's "impossible" to fly by flapping your arms. Similar to all natural laws, if it looks true it is true until it's proved wrong.
Anyone else read this book? Incredibly difficult reading even if you really love higher level math.
>>8546404
If it was difficult reading it wouldn't be a best seller, brainlet

I'm not interested in autistic autobiographies

Says the brainlet who also hasn't read it, nor can understand it. Kek
If a number is so large you can't compute all its digits, it's not actually real, is it? Like Graham's number wouldn't 'fit' into the entire universe so it doesn't really exist.
[math]\exists[/math]
Mathematically we know it exists. If it's a number or not is more of a metaphysical question.
Other day, I bumped my bookshelf and a coin fell down. This gave me an idea. Is it possible to compute the mass of a coin, based on the sound emitted when it falls?
I think that there should be a way to do it. But how?
>>8546330
OP is high as fuck
>>8546330
Yes,
The energy disappated through sound (ignoring heat) is equal to the amount of energy previously stored gravitationally. Finding v through the acceleration of gravity g and the height, we can solve for m, the mass of the coin. Good luck finding something to measure the sound emittedin joules though...

brainlet here
ever heard of eigen values and eigen frequencies?
i guess should be one of these problems
In the age of space travel and colonialization, how will we solve the problem of standardizing time and date?
Federation time beacons.
>>8546281
Same way we solve navigation: pulsars
>>8546281
Earth time is universal time.
What is the point of pure mathematics? i.e., math without any application towards physics.
>>8546249
your dick doesn't have any physical applications either but it's still hanging around faggot

To be honest this was pretty good

How do I get started with Theoretical Chemistry?
What is some good Chemistry to think about?
>>8546248
On the top of my head:
1. Strange matter. Replace quarks in neutrons/protons with another different quarks while retaining same charge. Replace electrons with muon or tau.
2. Antimatter. Make antimatter compounds. Find applications for them.
3. Covalent bonds between metals. Do metallic glasses.
4. Magnetostrictive fluids. Gases with density so high in magnetic field you can walk on them. Turn magnetic field on and it behaves as regular gas. Liquid so hard in magnetic field you can't penetrate it with bullets.
5. Elementary restriction. Try to turn lead into gold.
6. Elementary energy. One N2 molecule has energy according to E = mc^2. Break it and get enormous amounts of energy.
7. Other elements based life. Why cant life be formed with Si/Ge-matrix?
8. Time-based matter. I want this substance to oscillate between two reactions continuously. I want this reaction to not react as long as I want, regardless of environment. Then with a push of button I'll react it.
9. Computer parts utilizing element information. Currently computer uses 0 and 1. Make computer using cubits or electron orbitals.
10. Evolving matter. I want this fluid to evolve so that it resists its flow better and better by each passing second.

>7. Other elements based life. Why cant life be formed with Si/Ge-matrix?
Probably could imagine some form of self-replicating silicone based life form, but doesn't it break down on a macroscopic level for more complex organisms?
