Is there a developmental disorder causing the following? I've met 2 or 3 guys exactly like this, two of which I've had to work with
>short stature
>long bug-eyed baby face
>gets excited over nothing and laughs like a tard
>really lazy and incredibly good at finding ways to fuck around while appearing to be working
>likes to boss people around
>mercurial temperment (mutters insults under breath about people who challenge him)
is it just mild retardation? Is it some other condition?
I think you're just looking too much into things anon.
No but there's is one causing you to see patterns where there aren't

Assuming we are in fact living in a simulated universe, what would be a best way to prove to the alien creators / observers that we're worth elevating from the simulation into the real world? I think we'll need to invent something useful they haven't already thought of.
> elevating from the simulation into the real world
That might not be possible. For all we know the universe simulating ours is two dimensional.

>elevating
You have a very primitive view of everything, don't you.
>>8480773
thats like saying bring a computer game character in your ps4 into reality. i dont understand. youll have to explain how that would work
how do i make a common denominator with radicals?
Radicals rarely ever terminate, you can't.
rationalize it you dummy
1/sqrt(2) = sqrt(2)/2
>>8480706
what if you have to find the derivative of radicals and it's in implicit form?

/sci/ I smoked weed for the first time ever. Then my friend put on a flat earth documentary cause he said it was gonna be funny. Instead it shattered my perception of life because it all made sense and now I can't even focus in class. The prof is lecturing and I'm in shambles.
Weed makes everyone have "revelations". You're not unique, or correct in your new thoughts. It's just what it does mate

>degrees in a circle: 360

For a building to have a 1 degree tilt, it would need to be 40 075km/360 = 111 km away.

So /sci/ I've been waiting for threads about this but you guys seem not aware of the new breakthrough in the origins of gravity and dark matter
A Dutch Physicist seems to have solved the mystery of dark matter and gravity
http://phys.org/news/2016-11-theory-gravity-dark.html
Op here, this is the arxiv paper by Verlinde.
https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.02269
Give it a read /sci/
No, no he hasn't. Aside from the problems on the gravity side of his claims his proposed model doesn't explain key observations of dark matter.
He solves only static solution to derive dark matter like behaviour for a galaxy disk and a relaxed galaxy cluster. Other modified gravities have gotten that far in the past, it will surprise no one that some new complicated model can. What it doesn't do is dynamic situations like the formation of large scale structure and the Bullet Cluster. No modified gravity has explained the Bullet Cluster without dark matter and he hasn't now.
Dispute his claims to the media his paper contains only optimism that dynamic solutions will be found. He has not unseated dark matter yet until pic related is explained. I don't think that will happen any time soon nor do I think he will do it.

This is too much for the /wsr/ plebes; could u guys help me figure out the fourier transform of the following function:
g(x)=(cos(alpha*x))^2
any book recommendations for someone with non-formal knowledge of integral calculus?
cos^2(a*x)=(cos(2*a*x)+1)/2
=1/2+(1/2)*cos(2*a*x)
IOW, G(f)=1/2 if f=0 or f=a/pi and 0 otherwise.
>>8480134
>non-formal knowledge of integral calculus.
Anon, there's no easy way to say this, other than you should sit down and read about integral calculus.
http://freebookcentre.net/Mathematics/Fourier-Analysis-Books.html
Here's a good list of free books on fourier analysis.
>>8480134
You need to know integral calculus to use the Fourier transform in a naive way, but to understand Fourier theory you will need at least linear algebra and analysis.
To find the transform of that function, and to "figure out" the Fourier transform simply apply the formula (note that there are several equivalent ways of taking the transform).

Hi /sci/
I learned in optics that group and phase velocities can be above the speed of light in vacuum.
I understand the argumentation stating that no information can be transferred via those only, but it conflicts with my understanding of special relativity.
If I were observing a point on a wave which moves with the phase velocity, how would it look like to me? I would say the γ factor would be imaginary, which gets me confused
Where is my mistake?
>>8480094
I have no idea but at least I can tell you that I'm kind of sure that 4chan is not the perfect site for such a question.

What precisely is an angle??
The problem is that defining an angle correctly requires calculus. This is a point implicit in Archimedes’ derivation of the length of the circumference of a circle, using an infinite sequence of successively refined approximations with regular polygons. It is also supported by the fact that The Elements [Euclid] does not try to measure angles, with the exception of right angles and some related special cases. Further evidence can be found in the universal reluctance of traditional texts to spell out a clear definition of this supposedly ‘basic’ concept.
>A relative measure of the degree of rotation from one line segment to another
You run into the same road blocks as you would defining any "basic" object and you usually rely on some axiom of measure. This is not exactly some big deal

Hello /sci/
I have a quick question for you.
Imagine that someone would have green skin (actual green - like orcs in the fantasy books), but red blood. How it would mesh in places rich in blood, such as rosy cheeks or nose?
Am i overthinking it and it's just a mix of red and green just like you would get in the photoshop?
light (photons) is additive because of how our eyes/brains process it (eg RGB pixels from a monitor can make many colors)
red light coming from deeper in skin, green light coming from top layer of skin, so you'd see yellow
but if you mix actual physical pigments (bulk phase), what happens is their absorbance regions overlap until there is no wavelengths of visibile light that they transmit. so basically there are an "infinite" amount of molecules all absorbing different EM bands, and there is no photons that make it to your eyes, so you see black.
when you take paints that appear black and smear them across a white surface, often times you will see their constituent colors come out because suddenly theres more of molecule A than B, so some color not fully absorbed by B gets through.
>>8479762
here's an example of black ink spread out using TLC
>>8479780
So - if i understand it correctly - light would "come back" yellow, but because it has to travel "through" layer of molecules it would come back as slightly darker (depending on amount of light i'm shining)?
I believe I have a proof shows its impossible to score 0 in the Mondrian art puzzle.
For those who don't know what that is the rules are as follows
>start with a square of side N
>split the square into rectangles
>no two squares can have the same side lengths (if you have 3x2 you can't have another 3x2 or a 2x3)
>your score is the largest rectangle's area minus the smallest rectangle's area (lowest score wins)
Therefore a score of 0 requires all rectangles to be the same area. And thus no two rectangles can share a side length.
From this point on I will need to use terms which will be greentext to describe things.
>bisect
To bisect a rectangle is to split it with one line spanning one edge to the other.
Bisections are not adequect to achieve a score of 0 as any bisect ion will leave two rectangles sharing a side. Therefore we need a new way to cut a rectangle that doesn't require a bisection, and that brings us to the
>Aperture cut
An aperture cut is made by placing a rectangle in the rectangle to be cut and then drawing a line from each corner to a different edge of the outer rectangle (this shape reminds me of an aperture). An example of an aperture cut could be 4 2x1 rectangles arranged around a 1x1 rectangle to make a 3x3 rectangle. The centre of an aperture cut is the
>core
The core is something that occurs in all possible divisions of a rectangle that avoid a bisection. By placing other rectangles around an aperture cut and then stretching one or more of the outer rectangles of the aperture cut you can make a
>mutation
Mutations can have 2 or 3 more rectangles than their original cut, which may itself be a mutation (thus all numbers from 7 onwards can be achieved by mutation).
Now that the terms are out of the way onto proving that aperture cuts and mutations can't be used to score 0.
Any given rectangle can be skewed along one of its axis to change its shape while keeping its components areas ratios constant (cont)
(Cont)
Thus by skewing an aperture cut you can always make the core a square. And solving for other rectangles of the aperture cut you'll find the only possible side lengths that result in a shared area are phi (1.618) and 1/phi. Further solving for the side lengths of a mutation requires at least one to have a length of 0 or for one to have a different area which is not permissible. It is impossible to split a rectangle without a bisection or a core and thus the only methods for splitting a rectangle result in
1 a shared side length
2 an irrational side length
3 at least one rectangle with a different area
So that should cover everything. Did I miss anything.
I suppose for clarity I should mention multi cored rectangles and nested cores
>multi cored
Refers to a cut with 2 or more cores. and this retains the same irrational side length problem
>nested core
Should be self explanatory
Not enough math symbols.
