Impale each other with their love darts.

No, really, snails have actual darts. It's crazy.

>>8469747
what does that mean?

>>8469760
50% of the board are obnixious soft scientists, like chemists and biologists, but who also know their stuff.

I thought it was p^2/2m.

I'm reading Babby Rudin and he says if m^2 =2, then we could write m = p/q where p and q are not both even. How does he know that? I'm in calc 2...is this book too advanced for me?

>>8466564
Is that part of the proof that the square root of 2 is irrational?

He is probably just saying that for any number m, we can say m = p/q, where p and q are two other numbers to be determined, and you can make it so that they aren't both even.

For example, if m=5, then we could use p=15, q=3, p/q=15/3. There's never a situation where the only possible values for p and q are both even, because then you could simply divide p and q both by 2 until one isn't even, and the value m remains unchanged since you're dividing the numerator p and denominator q by the same value.

It's all very simple and pedantic, but these subtle properties are important later on in the proof.

>>8466578
Oh ok. Thanks. That last part was very helpful

too early to tell

>>8463607

Definitely. We're nowhere near being able to do it, tho.

Is the problem the actually therapy or delivery?

These days all you hear about is crazy crap they can do with CRISPR, not how they'll actually apply it to humans.

Space colonization is a bit of a meme while whites are currently experiencing dramatic population decline

I have to imagine that if NASA is structurally incapable of building cost efficient rockets for LEO, that any deep space probe will also be vastly too expensive....

No

I'd imagine they'd be extremely selective of who they let in.

Its magic

Read up on the Double-Slit experiment

Basically, waves and particles are two manifestations of the same thing. Depending on the context, it may be more convenient to refer to them as one over the other.

>>8473862
Dumb spotted. "Two manifestations of the same thing." What a dumb.

Two different things can't be same thing, that's not how determinism works, you dumb.

You can't. It's not generated by Matter. There is no Positivist way of measuring the difference between my Consciousness and yours or between a random Human's and an Ape's. Most people have stopped trying and are now pushing the idea that Consciousness "isn't real" instead. Which is ironically the ultimate concession since even the people claiming this will readily admit that this idea does nothing to "dispel" their own Consciousness.

Consciousness is the only thing that keeps going when you look away. An irony so perfect that it's almost Divine.

You cannot quantify it as you cannot quantify a computer programm interacting with the user. Both are only bunch of electrons that are interpreted through either organic or inorganic reactions. The rest is just the start of gearing which depends on how the gearing is built.

>>8473621
Can't you quantify artificial intelligence? What's so difficult about translating it to binary and algorithms?

Unlikely. Moving the crust is a whole hell of a lot harder than moving the sea.

If you paste the first 100 digits of Pi than you are literally a brainlet.

Most xenoestrogens come from plastics so try to avoid those.

>>8472761
you're saying its ALL plastics?
that would be basically impossible to avoid.

only buy food in carboard boxes and paper bags I guess?

>>8472771
>you're saying its ALL plastics?

Yup. It's hard but hey, your ancestors made due. Hit up farmer's markets, make sure your tech is made from glass, ceramic and metal instead of plastic.

Because things that have a use for nervous systems are more likely to survive with a nervous system.

You literally cannot have any kind of decent macroscopic locomotion without a nervous system.

>Because things that have a use for nervous systems are more likely to survive with a nervous system.

not really an answer is it? i want a mechanistic one.

>You literally cannot have any kind of decent macroscopic locomotion without a nervous system.

why do we need locomotion? is locomotion the only thing a nervous system does?

>>8472855
>i want a mechanistic one.
learn evolution and biology and all the related fields, you dumb fucker.

I have no problem with ut if they actually are good at doing math.

>>8472741

getting emotional about mathematics (with the exception of frustration) makes you a pretentious cocksucker.

>>8472851
I've never cried. Or felt sadness.
I felt a lot of anger and frustration at not getting stuff.
But sometimes I do feel a sort of "deep" OH. Awe like.
It happens nearly never but it's nice.
"Cold and austere beauty" kind of feel.
