Definitely don't want to live on this planet anymore. Have been sick of this place for quite some time.

You and me aren't going anywhere.
20 years isn't a realist time frame under any conditions.
Seriously, even if we get singularity tomorrow, the luxury of space tourism bullshit is way down on the list of priorities.

No. Unless we discover a way to quickly transport ourselves across solar systems with habitable, Earth-like planets with earth-like atmospheres, we are stuck on Earth. Even if we did discover new planets like Earth, they would likely have life on them, and who the fuck knows what would happen when you encounter all these alien viruses / bacteria and whatnot, it would be far worse than what happened to the natives in the Americas after Europeans came over.

No other planet in our solar system is capable of supporting human life long term. Not a single one, not even Mars. I'm not saying that humans can't set up a colony on Mars, we can, but Mars will never have a magnetic field, and while thickening its atmosphere may be possible, it will degrade over time without the magnetic field protecting it from solar radiation. There's also the lower gravity on Mars that humans will have to adapt to, and will cause major health problems among the population in the long term. Combine this with the need to live either underground, or in climate controlled, radiation shielded habitats until you find a way to create a livable atmosphere (while still having to have personnel radiation protection even if there was one) and you have a situation which is not sustainable in the long term. Maybe it would help humans survive off Earth for a few generations until some extinction level event on Earth blows over.

The best bet is to improve Earth. It's the only planet that we can easily improve, and we can improve it if humans actually worked together globally to accomplish its goals. The problem is there's too damn many people, and they all want an American standard of living, and won't stop polluting / utilizing finite resources until they get there too.

We need a global pandemic to lower the population to a sustainable level.

The knowledge that intelligence is a spook is intelligence.

>>8504738
If the knowledge of intelligence being a spook is intelligence then does that mean knowledge is also a spook?
Is everything a spook?

>>8504736
knowledge =/= intelligence

intelligence is how effectively one uses their knowledge

You're a smart guy. What do you think?

protons and neutrons happen to have a very consistent mass

atoms are made of consistent numbers of protons and neutrons such that every individual atom has a very predictable mass

if you have a gram of a pure element, then you should be able to describe how many atoms are present just by knowing the number of protons and neutrons in each atom, the mass of the protons and neutrons, and the total mass

6.02x10^23 just happens to be the constant that relates one gram of protons and neutrons to the number of protons and neutrons

well it's defined for carbon now but whatever

>>8504645
Considering 1 mole of a substance always has the same amount of grams as the individual atom/compound has amu, no it is not random.

>>8504076
There's no reason to think there is any, and it's highly unlikely.

I find life on Mars more likely. And that's not very likely.

life is a statistical anomaly. it doesnt actually exist

How exactly do manifolds relate to string theory?

what do you mean 'few years gap'?

there hasn't really been any solid progress on the riemann hypothesis, just supporting evidence (especially the riemann hypothesis for varieties which is known to be true)

it'll take a serious breakthrough

>what do you mean 'few years gap'?

>The first successful proof was released in 1994 by Andrew Wiles, and formally published in 1995, after 358 years of effort by mathematicians.

>After nearly a century of effort by mathematicians, Grigori Perelman presented a proof of the conjecture in three papers made available in 2002 and 2003 on arXiv.

It would be nice to have RH solved before 2020.

fermat's last theorem and poincare conjecture have nothing to do with each other though, why do you pair them up?

this ha snothing to do with schizophrenia and your post is difficult to read.

CIA does have a behavior prediction program that has near 99% accuracy if given enough information about a subject. The program can be used on individuals or on groups like terrorist cells. The predictions it makes are reported to be kinda vague like there's a 90% chance this person will eat today, and a 60% chance they'll eat at this restaurant. Data can be scrapped from social media like facebook, twitter, ect.
Here's another example. Facebook has openly and shamelessly admitted to delivering specific news to specific groups people in an experiment to manipulate their emotions. Who knows what they do that they don't want to admit to.

Combine those two programs and in theory you can control a persons or group of persons actions through social media alone. (this might explain the election BTW) Although the extent of control may be limited and choosing which restaurant you eat at or something silly or it could be something grander. But we're assaulted with advertisements every day which attempt to control our brains and tell us what to buy and eat. This sort of thing is becoming normalized and is escalating faster than the public can react to it.

Even if you truly believe such a thing, read the comments from that link. Textbook cases of schizophrenia reside there.

Only the shuttle orbiter was reusable. The three rockets it needed to get into space were not. SpaceX Falcon 9 is also partially reusable, but they did it backwards. The main rocket is reusable but the second stage isn't.

lol fuck off brainlet, real high IQ people don't care about what the mundanes think.

Nigga just let it come naturally.
Your image should be built on experiences and [insert something inspirational], not insecurity you bloated faggot.

Did I fucked up? Proof of orthogonality of plane waves

Prove that n^5 - 5n^3 + 4n is divisible by 120.
I tried factoring it and I got n(n+1)(n-1)(n+2)(n-2) but I still have no idea why it's divisible by 120. Any help?

FUCK OFF

The EM drive cannot work because it violates newton's first law, these papers are just errors with the equipment

Wikipedia and online courses arent enoguh?

Considering wikipedia gives out blowjobs for donations where is this money for a project much larger than wikipedia coming from?

Because you will still fail miserably. No matter how much you change the methods, retarded teens will still fuck their lives.
