lol do you have a peer reviewd study to back ur claims? no? well uhmm sorry hehe well then uwrong

Science has done more for the world than religion ever has. I'd rather pray to a textbook than some deity.

from what i gather, modern math is entirely based on his papers, which he wrote 300 years ago. we STILL fully teach his definitions without modification as a starting point for college students.

I want to have his brain for just one day

what would you do with it? calculate the shadow your fat rolls cast using the ratio of vanishing quantities?

>>8476776
do you know any cabin-monkeys (mud loggers)?
Is this a common job for geologists?

>>8476781
I don't know any personnally, but I'm more into research than industry.

from what I know, mud logging is one of the cheapest and easiest well logging techniques as it require neither the preservation of a core nor to have probes in the drilling arm.
Therefore, it became a very used technique in the industry, so, basically yeah, it's a quite demanded job.

sup, paleofag here

Estimate the number of jobs you think top tier.
Estimate the number of graduates each year from all Ivy Leagues.

Compare them. Does it make sense?

>>8476639
In jobs that aren't engineering they provide a strong boost to your resume
In engineering they don't provide a boost in that sense because experience > education
however universally Ivies provide you the opportunity to easily get internships and co-ops compared to other colleges.

It is better to go to an ivy over other schools however except for shit like law and finance where your options become limited the advantage over lets say the top 40 colleges on USNew's university rankings isn't very significant job-wise.

http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities/data
This is what I am referring to, for top 40 just start at UC-Irvine/Tulane/RPI/Northeastern/BU and go down. Those 5 are all tied for 39, it makes it so there is no number 40.

Cool- thanks based anon

When I was a kid I messed around with yiest a bit.

What do you want to do?

I want to build a low cost bioreactor that grows bacteria/yeast cultures... currently they are extremely expensive. Trying to understand why they are so expensive

>>8476596

probably because it's a special blend that is likely built/curated per order, and not a mainstream one that is mass manufactured and buyable at any supermarket

I'm not so sure about that. I would say that that convergence shows that probability of existence of such index j tends to 1.
Ask on stackexchange for safety.

>>8476431
No.

>>8476431
wouldn't you want to show that the probability is 0? Convergence doesn't mean that it will become 0 and I don't even know for what variable that you take to infinity you would have convergence.

do you start the problem knowing either of their size?

everything's given in the problem to solve it, it's just a curiosity question at the end of the problem.

I guess to reword the question would be 'how did the renaissance scientists discover the distance to Jupiter'

>>8476310
You can sense a thought but you can't thought a sense.

sense is input, thought is processing

not all thoughts make sense

>Take a sample of DNA from target
>Design a CRISPR virus to attack that DNA sequence specifically
>Virus causes only mild symptoms in everyone except target
>Virus eventually finds its way to the target and starts manufacturing toxins once it gets inside them

>>8476209

If you have access to a targets DNA, you would more than likely also have access to the target.

I guess CRISPR would be an incredibly niche method of assassination.

>If you have access to a targets DNA, you would more than likely also have access to the target.
No?

Say you hacked a federal DNA database.

I signed up for an astrophoto citizen science project and they said you need at least an 8 inch dob. But when I look at what is actually observable through it, it seems to be extremely underwhelming.

Hello fellow astrophotography enthusiast!
Astrophotography is a very fun niche, if you want to learn more about it, I visited the reddit /r/ astrophotgraphy side bar which has useful information, and their are countless tutorials online. Instead of getting a telescope and mounts, I would learn how to make photos with a simple DSLR camera, understand ISO's, different types of exposures, and such, then I would move up to telescopes, but that can get pretty expensive. Taking pictures in an urban area is not that good, so leaving the city is always best, for new photos.

One of my first photos.

>>8476931
neat, I'll check it out, thank you

>>8476117
Why don't you people go and read something for once? Besides what do you care there's no hope for NASA anymore Trump is going to get just another uneducated moron to run it. And I hope he does because we need straight forwarding thinking people in office not nerds.

Regardless, Congress wont be increasing their spending anytime soon (where the majority of the blame is put on republicans - but a lot of democrats too, for not increasing NASA spending)

they need someone who has worked at NASA in many fields over the years who actually fucking knows how it is ran and has a clear vision for the future

NASA is a big joke. Moon landings are a lie and Space does not exist.

There's literally a board dedicated to that you fucking moron.

>>8475998
which?

I might as well go on here anyway, its not like i see anything really scientific going on here. Mostly just shitposting. "fucking moron"

Now delete this thread and kys newfag

Yeah, because you can fall in all the other directions as well.

>>8475826

in a space ship is up still defined by gravity of planet. is your sense of up more fucked up? if you go into gravityless space, is there no up? do you get extreme vertigo?

>>8475826

Are we just going to ignore that massive alien ship in the photo?

What a reddit post, off yourself.

Because we probably aren't the subjects of the simulation. We just happen to exsist in it as a result of simulated particle interactions.
