Does our biology allow for perfect happiness throughout one's life?

If happiness traslates directly to neurotransmitters, probably no, and for good reason.

Absolutely not. You've watched too many movies.

It is a good movie though
Goodwill Hunting and A Beautiful Mind are also good movies about math people. Not so much a documentary but rather "based on a true story" but entertaining nonetheless.

Will transhumanism ever become a reality?

it already is, the humanity would be unable to keep the civilisation it currently has without technological augmentation. on the smaller scale, a person cannot compete on a social level with his peers without a computer and a smartphone anymore. the individual fitness of a man is been tied to his technological augmentation, this is transhumanism.

This just happened five minutes ago.
I saw an attractive woman in a tight black dress trying to cross a busy road (four lanes). She was standing on the edge of the footpath looking left and right, left and right, for traffic, waiting for an opening.
She did not see me as I had just rounded the corner on the footpath and she did not look back.
I took advantage of the situation by standing directly behind her at a fair distance (I estimate 7-8m) and staring at her ass.
After about a 60 seconds or so she whirls around and looks straight at me with a look of disgust. Somehow she had sensed that someone was behind her staring at her butt, however she would not have had any sensory input (sight, smell, hearing, touch, taste, etc.) that would have led her to sense me.
How can science explain this?

What evidence is there that light is a particle and not purely a wave?

The photoemission effect
>>
>>8484542
This is the photoelectric effect. That doesn't prove light is a particle, it just proves electrons need a certain amount of energy to be released.
>>
>>8484552
It does though, you can't explain it with a wave theory, the emission would take much much longer.

I think our lifespan could probably be even shorter over there. Fewer resources, less "stuff" that sustains us, etc. You can't just make that up from thin air with science magix. They're either there or they're not.

>Since the 1970s, the issues regarding the race of the ancient Egyptians have been taboo subject for mainstream United States scientists.[31] The debate has thus been led by the public, focusing on specific issue
>refusal of the Secretary General of the Egyptian Supreme Council ... to release any DNA results which might indicate the racial ancestry
How is this allowed? I ask you!
This refusal directly harms the science, People absolutely need to know who Pharaohs were. We need to stop this degeneracy.
Anyway, what's the scientific guess -- to whom most prominent Pharahos were genetically close?

No one will give you a legitimate response because the political implications of it would imply that Africans truly are that worthless and they've never developed anything. This happens everytime this topic is brought forth. Unfortunately science has become to politicized, when its entire purpose was supposed to be apolitical.
Besides, most if /sci/ is highschool students and freshman anyways.
>>
>>8482746
It is scientifically proven that people in African regions on average have lesser developed brains that other regions of the world.
But, screw science, amirite? Your enforcing racism and your a bigoted sexist cis male who needs to check their privilege.

Why algebra and not analysis? Isn't analysis more useful for science majors?

Because then the colleges would not be able to extract more than one semester of tuition money from the business and nursing majors.
