to that I give credit to Dawkins who says "fun" in science is overrated and that science is hard but it's worth it

because its not

How did Kaku get so popular? He's a nut who was a frequent guest on Art Bell's show talking about aliens coming to Earth through wormholes. Does he actually do any physics or just bounce from one TV show to the next for a paycheck?

>Let's stay calm until other groups will eventually show an error in the experimental setup and confirm that it was a load of implausible bullshit after all, just like the FTL neutrinos a few years back.

I like this new meme I want in on it.

I don't understand some aspects of your post.
>since everything has a relative high point in elevation
are you suggesting there is no point of global max elevation?

also this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saltwater_intrusion

but the matter is more complex than mere elevation

>>8485673
Yes. Rivers should flow uphill since elevation is irrelevant.

Secondly seawater intrusion is caused by groundwater extraction, but sea water seperates itself from freshwater.
Still doesn't prove why oceans do not flow in rivers naturally and why fresh water lakes are not contaminated naturally inland.

good luck with your thread

Thank you for this, anon.

>>8485745
Cheers cobber. That'll be some great viewing.

I'm doing Honours in a BSc (Geology) degree, focusing on Hydrogeology because it's rad, but love learning about all this other stuff too.

no

use 'dimensional analysis' to convert from sq in to sq mm

Pressure does not change with area

>>8485620
The pounds arent stated, so this is a theoretical anyhow. Also is there a measurement for smaller than an inch in the imperial system anyhow?

>>8485489
Well memed. But seriously though, how long until the field is completely over saturated?

i wouldn't feed him a whole lollipop, but letting him have a taste probably wont hurt.

he will choke. if you hold it and let him try it tho no problem

At least I hope because that's what I'm studying.

>the term universe is relative
nigga wat

>>8484856
I mean think about it. What defines the "universe"? Does the universe have a border? And end? Is the universe a term for the area that matter occupies within an arbitrary nothingness? Or is the universe everything including that nothingness?

>>8484871
I'm really asking here by the way. Usually a brainlet /fit/izen but have been trying to educate myself and this subject in particular I want to know more about.

If you were intelligent you would be too successful to be depressed and anxious.

if preserving intellect is no item, then drink lead paint.

You don't know what the cause is. It could be due to a dysfunctional thyroid for all your dumb ass knows.

>>8484816
No, because you will die tomorrow

>>8484816
The minimum is 10 years. The medium is 20 years. The max is 40 years.

Honestly with the successful launch of PlayStation VR and other pushes you may have to wait 15 years

>>8484816

Easier to go to a cave and only get out when you are able to properly allucinate your waifu 100% tham to wait years for the tech.

The brain is the ultimate illusion machine after all.

>continous and differentiable

This is redundant.

Regarding your question, if a function is differentiable then set of points where the derivative of said function is continuous is non-empty.

This is obvious if you approach it by contradiction.

Suppose you have a function that is differentiable on the interval (a.b) such that its derivative is not continuous in any point of (a.b)

Any discontinuity on this derivative would imply a sudden change in the original function and through some more rigorous analysis you would get that your original function is actually not differentiable anywhere in (a.b), which strongly contradicts the hypothesis.

>>8484827

B...B...But there are differentiable functions which verifies the following proporties :
- the set of points where the derivative is positive is dense
- the set of points where the derivative is negative is dense
