Why aren't women generally as funny as men? Is there an understood biological explanation or is it too controversial to explore?

Why does everyone on this board hate philosophy? Is it because you can't accept that science is just a giant spook?

You can make math way easier if you just stop using radians and switch to degrees instead. Why did anyone ever even come up with radians in the first place?

>Implying 3.142593654/2 radians is a good way of saying 90 degrees

Hey /sci/ I'm in 1st year undergrad of Geology and it looks like I'll need to do a term paper for my chemistry class. What are some interesting geology-related topics you think I could manage?
Note that I'm not asking you o do my homework for me, I'd just like to hear some opinions.

Let's have a thread about this today.
As we know, in DNA Replication the Helicase (which I believe is an enzyme) separates the double-helix of the DNA strand, and from there a complementary copy of the gene is created as mRNA.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, or elaborate further.
In RNA Replication, there are two processes, Transcription and Translation.
In both there are three steps, Translation happening after the former, Initiation, Elongation, and Termination.
In Initiation, the RNA Polymerase binds to the Promoter, just under the TATA Cap.
From there, the Codons are "read" and the proccess starts when the "Start Codon" (AUG/Methianine) is found, and from there replication follows the Leading Strand going 5'->3' (I'm probably wrong) attaching the new nucleotide at the spot where the next 3' is, the Lagging Strand (3'->5') being synthesized in Okazaki Fragments along the way.
After it's all completed, a "Stop Codon" is read, of which there are three, and that signals transcription to stop.
After that is Translation, where to start, the created mRNA is sent out of the Nucleolus and to the Ribosomes on the Endoplasmic Reticulum. From there, tRNA (I'm still foggy about where it's created) enters the Ribosome in its P spot, the other two being E and A, and in order from Left-to-Right, EPA, with the proper Anticodon for the Codon contained by the mRNA. Then an "assembly line" type of thing happens as each added nucleotide is separated from its base, and the old base is replace by the new one, being ejected from the "E" port in the Ribosome, and having been taken in from the "A" port.

Well, that's all I got so far.
Anyone got some corrections or elaborations?

Thought I would offer up a new toy for you guys to play with: apply the Grothendieck construction to the functor from sets to categories obtained by composing a contravariant hom 2-functor (for some fixed category C) with the functor taking sets to their corresponding discrete categories. Objects in the entire category for the induced bundle are like sets, but rather than bags of structureless points, they are bags of objects living in C. A morphism is a function on the underlying set, but where each assignment f(x)=y is actually a morphism x—>y from C. Notice that we can embed C into this new category by the obvious assignment taking c to {c}.

Also of interest: if you decategorify this entire setup, you obtain a process for taking a set S to a new set; the new set is just S+{*}. This is in fact part of the maybe monad, so in a sense my construction looks like a categorified maybe monad.

Observe how similar the category of groupoids is to the category obtained above by applying the construction to the category of groups.

I finished high school and never properly learned science.

How to study math, physics, chemistry and biology from the basics, and build deeper insightful levels of knowledge on those fields?

Please help a brainlet.

Once I read about this my life no longer made sense.

I feel that anytime I´ll die, I took several nights without sleep normally, until my body gets tired is when I close my eyes and sleep for lack of energy.

I am not a scientist or anything like that, but I would like to know: My fear is stupid?

Thank you very much for your answers, I need help really, I think I have to visit some psychologist (I also think of hypnosis but not if it works) I repeat, thank you very much for your answers.

I did some calculations, /sci/.

Estimated mass of the observable universe is 1E48 kg. The corresponding Schwarzschild radius is 48 Gpc. However, the observable universe only has a diameter of ~30 Gpc!

We are actually living inside a black hole right now!! If you don't believe me, you can readily find the numbers online.

Will I get anywhere? Most mathematicians are dumb so I think I've got a great shot. I'm going to try to read all the related material and try to solve it mentally without writing anything down. Note that I only have up to Calculus 2 knowledge.
