Most of normies will be playing cowaduty 388 or watching Big Brother 87. Most of us will be masturbating on VR. But it is likely that some weirdos will be pushing creativity and science to limits beyond our comprehensions because why not and life without challenges is boring.

>>8432560

More time to do creative stuff, art and philosophy.

>More machines imply more free times
Humans will reproduce way less, least appealing jobs will be machine maintenance. Majority of STEM will became engineers to create and program more machines, a very narrow but elite group will be devoted to fundamental research.

As in, is it even literally physically humanly psychologically practically possible?

5 days is a lot of time if you devote all your time to it. You can do it.

No and yes.

I want utopia.

Let's hope not.

No.

quantum mechanics, by a mile

Quantum theory, because it's impossible to explain it without simplifying it.

Okay so here's the deal with nukes.

Even the Tsar Bomba fused a ridiculously small amount of matter. The upper limit for a bomb with today's technology probably isn't that much higher than the Tsar Bomba unless the pilot is willing to die (and even then, planes have a weight limit). Maybe a gigaton yield if a country is stupid enough to go all out is possible. That is a casual large city sterilizer and a regional threat.

Eventually we will master fusion and that's where the real big boys come into play. Our nuclear arsenal, while a significant threat to human life is not enough to exterminate human or animal life on earth let alone cause any significant long-term damage to the planet. With Fusion however, bombs the size of shipping containers (which are a real threat nowadays) would be enough to sterilize something the size of texas and obliterate a very large portion of the U.S.

A shipping container has a capacity of about 30000kg

E= (30000*10^8)^2
E= 9*10^24 Joules
Assuming 10% efficiency from Fusion which is on the low end, that leaves us with 9*10^23 Joules

The Chicxulub impact had an estimated energy amount of 5.43*10^23 Joules

So basically a bomb like this would have A LARGER energy content than that of the Chicxulub impact which was kind of a big deal. This is what true mutually assured destruction looks like. The first country to master fusion will be able to wipe continents off the map with relative ease. A couple of countries will probably blow themselves up in the race to catch up to whoever is first because whoever is first is instantly the top dog in the world. By far. Like the gap will be something like comparing the U.S to the Roman Empire in terms of military strength. This isn't a far off dream either, this is literally a 50 year in the future thing according to current fusion advancements.

Saying that humanity won't make it to the 22nd century isn't some edgy pessimistic cynicism, it's the overwhelming likelihood.

SpaceX is just the worlds biggest kickstarter
Nothing you can do but sit back and watch it slowly fall apart

If the stuff works, why not go to Mars? They'll certainly get the field testing they need if they strap some to the next rover that heads out that way.

>>8431463
Because its not sustainable. He's going to use all the surface water before we have a chance.

Titan is much more viable in the long term, and will actually help colonize mars later on. For now there just needs to be an unmanned communications base there.

Brain defects are a social construct

yes, the shit is so ridiculous. Have you ever seen a normal transgender person? They act weird af and somehow are convinced to let everyone know about their trans life. In my opinion, they are crazy.

With that line up of experience, fucking nothing that has to do with your degree.

I'm interested in applications of higher math towards chemistry. What should I learn besides group theory?

I got this months ago and I can't remember why I found it interesting. I think a friend of mine was working on something related to benzodiazepines and there is a bothersome solvent involved at some step that he didn't want to work with.

It is better to work and gain experience rather than waste your time listening to the theoretical version of it.

a degree gets your foot in the door

if you have the means to get your foot in the door without a degree then self-education would be better

You mean slave-entry tuition farms?

Make sure you actually love science, not pictures of clouds on Facebook.

You might love chemistry now, but wait until it gets math heavy. Math you havent trained for.

None of us here love science, we just enjoy it.

Popsci. One electron universe? No fucking way. It defies the laws of thermodynamics.
