Ambient vacuum energy :^)

What would P = NP philosophically imply?

that you're a dumb cunt and a fag

Good thing it's not likely to be true.

at night

Whenever it's noon in the middle of the pacific.

Thing takes up almost an entire hemisphere.

>>8511916
what?


>>8511914
i mean coz people stay awake most of the day, its assymetric and people have quite divergent sleep patterns, wondering if theres a certain period when most people are asleep.

May as well as a real question. Do Godel's Incompleteness Theorems provide any support in favor of mathematical platonism or what?

>>8511869
No

and >>8511871
no.

you are the most disappointing thing your mom has produced

What's there not to understand?

[math]\vec{F}_{R} = \vec{F}_{1} + \vec{F}_{2} = \begin{pmatrix}300\cos(30) - 500\cos(65)\\ -300\sin(30) - 500\sin(65)\end{pmatrix}[/math]

>>8511681
is that suppose to be a matrix ?

if what you call a "mild" cancer were to metastasize you can die in literally a couple weeks. One day you have some tiny little cancer in your foot that doesn't bother you, and a month later it's gotten into your blood and you have growths on your brain-stem

>>8511629

It doesn't always do that though. What about all the times when a cancer that wouldn't have been detected a hundred years ago emerges but then gets wrecked by the person's immune system and they live on like it never even happened?

>>8511621
Cancer is bad. more than 10^9 cancer cells generally is incompatible with life.

However, sometimes new techniques are found to be overzealous, especially with slow growing cancers that don't usually metastasize.

Prostate cancer is a good example: the literature suggests that the outcomes are equivocal (when the PSA is low) between biopsy and not biopsying. The rate of complications, although low, is around the same rate of malignant cancers that would have otherwise been missed.
It is similar with treatments for prostate cancers as well: there was a trial where they were more or less using a particle accelerator to burn the prostate cancer out, but it had outcomes that were the same as conventional surgery.

They are incredibly expensive at the industrial level and produce an extraordinarily small amount of torque relative to their size.

No. Stirling engines are a neat toy, but if you already have heat then there are better ways of extracting work from it than a Stirling engine. If they were, we would already be using them.

Also Lindy doesn't believe in global warming.

Because environmentalism is a religion and a purely emotional position

Public opinion is low.
I think long term containment of radioactive material is a major concern. The public seems to think they just bury radioactive material and hope for the best. Out of sight out of mind. In some cases that's exactly what they do. The containment has to last centuries but it fails after a few decades.

Process is very expensive and complicated

>>8511478
A formal science, yes

And it can be applied to the physical science as well but it's not part of physical sciences

>>8511478

It's just a language, like piglatin.

>>8511478
No.

>>8511425
1. It is something that will add spice to your already shitty life

2. Read the previous statement

We've been over this before, in a galaxy far far away. And why was Prometheus such a shitty film? It had a lot of potential to be good but failed.

The great attractor

If you can't figure out how to turn the failures of your research into successes you need to examine what your trying to do in life.

>>8511238
go with option 2

dont make shit harder on yourself for no reason. you aren't going to revolutionize the field during grad school. just get it done and you can do your dream projects after you graduate and have a nice research career that actually pays

>>8511259
That is a really good point, but I'm afraid I will eventually lose my motivation if I give up on my dreams now when they may be within my grasp. This PhD thing takes a lot of years.

>>8511081
Depends on the transmittance of the solvent, really.

Take a shit in your beaker then take new measures.

>>8511016
I don't have the brain power to do it any differently than this but it might agree with your answer.

>>8511016
Take ln/e of it. Using log base 3, etc just doesn't happen outside of pre calc

>>8510741
>Is 2 the same thing as the sum 1+1?

yes

>>8510741
No, 2 is an element of Int, the set of base 10 integers
1+1 is an element of Expr, the set of all expressions

To know more about how these objects are different see Wildberger's videos.

>>8510962
Er...

1+1=2 thou
