Ever since I was about 5 I noticed that random events weren't as they should be. Specifically I noticed that occasionally I could predict a random event and that when playing board games the outcome of the dice was not even close to an even six way split. But I've always rationalized that as observational bias...
>Until now because for once I've actually measured it
I was playing pokemon showdown with a full team of pic related (inb4 /vg/) using only 70% accurate moves and across multiple games with multiple turns per game I quickly had a decent sample size of 100 attacks. Though this large sample size was hardly needed because I was only 25% accurate in practice which assuming the accuracy of 70% is accurate is about a 1 in 10e20 chance.
>1 in 100000000000000000000
Naturally I though that the random number generator was at fault however that is not the case as pokemon hoedown uses a proper pseudo random number generator which though not exactly 70% is extremely close.
Getting to the /sci/ part
>How do you think this works
To be clear I've observed
>statistically impossible odds of random components of games both in and out of my favor
>occasional knowledge of the outcome of a random process before the process has been completed
My bet is on quantum mechanics

You can talk all you want about your anecdotal evidence. Once you get into an actual study and I read about it online in the future then we can talk.

Hey physics newfag here.
Can i use tons and meters cubed in the density formula? Or do i need to convert to kilograms or something like that

you can use seashells and decimeters if you want it doesnt make a difference.
>>
Newton, Joule, watt etc are always express as function of kg, so use kg.
Ton is a "pop" method to express mass, but don't use it in your problem :)
>>
>>8516986
1 joule is .3 seashells per nu-meter.
easy conversion, brainlet

Why do I get thirsty after exercising even though I haven't sweated at all? My mouth gets really dry too when I increase my heart rate a lot -- again, not sweating at all though.
I am usually very sedentary if it makes a difference.

What is the best way to rank the participants in a tournament?
In the example in the picture, obviously #1 is P and #2 is E. Then it makes sense that #3 would be L and A is #4, because L lost to the better opponent. If we keep going that like, the rankings would be:
1. P
2. E
3. L
4. A
5. O
6. G
7. J
8. D
9. Q
10. F
11. M
12. B
13. N
14. H
15. K
16. C
However, if the participants were seeded based on their performance in the regular season or whatever, this method of ranking gives an advantage to the worse teams. The #1 seed has the best chance of winning the tournament, so the 16 seed has the best chance of being ranked 9th. Does it make sense to reverse the orders of the "levels"? Or what? Does anyone understand what I'm talking about?

If there were no upsets in the tournament, then the ranking with this method would be:
1 seed
2 seed
4 seed
3 seed
8 seed
7 seed
5 seed
6 seed
16 seed
15 seed
13 seed
14 seed
9 seed
10 seed
12 seed
11 seed

to make it fair you need to have a losers bracket to determine second place
and then a losers losers bracket to determine 3rd place
and so on

Was the brutal execution-style murder of Harambe scientifically justified?
Objectively, by analysis of gorilla behavior patterns, he was protecting the child as he would a gorilla child and would have allowed his human mother to save him, correct?

The thing is that there was a seizable chance of him reacting badly, so they had to execute him as not to take any chance

I'm curious if cancer is still at the same fatality/ diagnosis rates as it was centuries ago. Everytime I hear someone was taken away because of cancer, I can't help but wonder if it's just a natural human phenomenon, or is it a product of modern times.

I dont mean modernization, btw, is what caused it. But rather, if we have in someway increased its rate
>>
longer average lifespan and more exposure to carcinogens in daily life so obviously higher diagnosis rate today. why is this even a thread. jesus
>>
>>8516323
>more exposure to carcinogens in daily life
Okay, so I wasn't being paranoid in thinking this, then. How does one go about reducing these things anyway? Just setting yourself on a lone island for the rest of your life? I doubt the sun gives enough chance of causing cancer, especially if you're not in direct exposure of it all day

Quick question: Let's say a fly flew into a car and didn't land, but continued to hover in one place. And the car begins to move, what happens to the fly?

relative to the car, it would move towards the back.
relative to the ground it would remain where it is.

I've never seen a fly hover in one place.

Does anyone know a good rechargeable digital scratch pad that I can buy to save trees and money? I'm in my 3rd year electrical engineering and I use up A LOT of paper for my maths and physics.
P.S. I'm not a conservative.

why get a scratch pad when you can just get a surface pro? then you can get a wabbitemu calc emulator and keep all your notes on onenote

Then just get a generic Android tablet like the Kindle Fire or the Asus Zenpad
Or you could get 2500 sheets of Roaring Spring Paper Products Engineer Calculation Fillerâ„¢ paper. Your precious electronics and the electrical systems you will build are less eco-friendly than current forestry practices.
