define love.

infant do not inflict pain upon my person any longer

>>8466664
'Love', i.e. the altered balance of hormones and chemical potentials in the brain and peripheral nervous system brought on by the acquisition of a bonded mate, is a physical and measurable phenomenon and is thus as 'real' as anything else you experience.

Siphon out a bunch of hydrogen to make it turn into a red giant sooner.

Even this is gonna take quite some time

How much energy and power do you have available?

You need some really, really extraordinary amounts of everything to "blow up" the sun.

I mean, jesus dude, the sun is already blowing up constantly.

none of those

When you're growing up, you associate the feelings of love, trust, safety, nurturing to your parents and their image. When you grow up, you naturally look for the same features that you saw in your parents when looking for a partner. That usually resembles mommy and daddy.
So it's only natural to wanna bone ur mum or jump on your dad. There is nothing wrong with these.

I'm at a point in my philosophy that I'm trying to call out "daddy" during sex with a woman. I think Freud was wrong, man is meant to kill his mom and marry his dad.

no one cares about your GPA

>>8465701
They only care about internships and networking now?

>>8465854
not him, i wouldn't say GPA is insignificant but simply knowing the right people gives you a tremendous fucking advantage

The volume of ice underwater is the volume it would take up if it was water so when it melts the sea level stays the same.

Icebergs melting won't affect sea level, ice on land that melts and flows into the sea will affect it.

m8 sea levels are rising because increased temperature > greater expansion of water.

That's why

>>8465125
The volume of water displaced by the mass of the iceberg isn't dependent on anything but its weight (mass). Neither raises nor lowers sea level when it melts.

To make the political opining of analysts and "experts" to seem more legitimate than it can actually possibly be.

what Im genuinely wondering is: if the polls were rigged to favour hillary, how would that help her cause?

if people thought hillary was going to win anyway, they might not be as motivated to vote

>>8465054
I've thought about this a lot. I knew the predictive polls were biased to Clinton, but was always curious about what kind of impact that would have on voters.

I guess, at a most basic essence, someone in the Clinton campaign determined the consensus effect would outweigh confident supporters that lose motivation to go to the polls.

>Is this shape topologically ...
solid torus

The surface is topologically a torus, although one might distinguish it instead as a torus equipped with a homotopy cycle (a loop corresponding to the edge of the chess board), which would facilitate further specification of properties related to connectivity. For example, to a bishop, it is topologically a Möbius band. To a rook, it is a torus. To a queen, it's kind of odd, since it can't move diagonally across the edge, but it can move straight over it. Something more complicated than topology would be needed, as there is now a distinction between diagonal paths and straight paths. I won't comment on pawns as it is not clear how they are meant to be oriented.

Less of this "STEM Shortage" nonsense and the artificial oversupply of qualified people/positions relative to grant funding we're dealing with

Not reading any papers of late, I am reading book 1 of this though.

>tryhard thread where everyone posts and no one discusses
why don't you at least put some effort in and try to sell what you're reading so the thread isn't pointless?

2/10 troll harder

If I'm sitting on a car accelerating away from my home and I turn on a loud speaker at home, as I approach a high speed will I actually hear the stream get slower from the sound taking longer to reach me?

thinking of switching too, but I don't trust /g/ to give a good distro rec for STEM majors (they mostly major in ricing and anime)

>>8464890
Yes those are all avalable, and much more. Come to the botnet free land.

>>8464903
I like neither of those, and I like xubuntu. It's fast and easy to use. Also there is some science specific fedora distro but I never used fedore so dunno

So oddball gravity might not be a fundamental force after all. Hmm.

>>8464573
ADS CFT

DUDE, FUCKING YES. I had this idea recently! My reasoning came from an observation that entropic data in cohesive homotopy type theory yields a free notion of curvature, compatible with differential cohesion. The reason gravity is incompatible with the other fundamental forces is because it is the emergency of local interactions. This is exciting stuff, thanks for sharing.

cool, i always figured dark matter was an artifact of an incomplete theory. even if this guy is wrong it still seems like this is the case.

>>8463330
Looks cool, but it seems utterly pointless, seeing as how it looks completely unfalsefiable.
