Also, when already warm places become uninhabitable, where do you think those people (now essentially refugees) will go?

Have you ever skipped a class, /sci/?

no, even if the professor says that a class isn't mandatory because it's a review day or something I still feel too nervous to actually not go.
>>
>>8350018
Yeah. I skipped the last day of class in Mathematical Logic when we were supposed to finish up the proof of Godel's Incompleteness Theorem. Felt pretty bad about it considering the teacher was very good.
Also skipped Anthropology pretty much all the time, because fuck that.

What do you guys think of the 'cold dead eyes of a killer'? You know, that look that so often sociopaths have. It's quite hard to even describe but there's something. Something not right you can tell as soon as you look at certain people. The eyes are vacant and the stare intense. Is this a real thing and is there any explanation behind it?

Schizophrenics talk differently to normal people, I see no reason why psychopaths couldn't have different facial expressions.

No, but we don't need spices either (unless you count salt.)
But I'm not gonna give up either one because they seriously enhance my quality of life.

I'll start.
>What is the probability that given a certain level of facial symmetry (represented as a number in (0, 1), 1 being perfectly symmetrical) you are the most attractive person in a given population?
Some assumptions:
1. Facial symmetry is the only criteria we consider for attractiveness
2. Facial symmetry scores are approximately normal but the variance and mean are unknown
>If you do an experiment in a space ship traveling near the speed of light (say 99.99%) will the results of that experiment be the same if you did it on Earth?
>Irrational numbers can be represented algebraically, transcendentals cannot. Does this mean you get an irrational number from the product or quotient of two irrational numbers? What about for transcendentals?
>What is the likelihood of developing lung cancer for any given cigarette smoked? What does the probablity density function look like as a function of cigarettes smoked? Linear? Exponential? Logarithmic?
Some assumptions:
1. Everyone has the same genes
2. Every cigarette is the same

>99.99% speed of light
The results of the experiment won't be the same as if you did it on Earth because the Earth's not really an inertial reference frame. But the results will be the same as a spaceship travelling at any constant speed (assuming no gravity).

Just fapped sci.
I feel so fucking stupid, every time after a fap I just feel retarded, controlled by the primal mind and cant fight against sexual desire, why is this the case? I know sex/fapping is completely pointless and consciously know im just going to feel like an idiot afterwards but I STILL CANT RESIST
Makes me realize how pathetic humans really are in the end, no more than monkeys going in round about ways to fulfill primitive desires.

Can you please make more of an intelligent remark for what 'dumb' is?
I don't understand what stupid about this, don't you feel ridiculous being controlled? The coming and passing of sexual desire is so tiresome, you get horny and then you fap and now you're back to normal and can think straight.
The amount of stupid shit (think this porn star is really attractive, maybe I should go out and try to find a real gf/partner id treat her right, we can be complementary pieces to eachother etc) I've thought of just because I got really horny really amazes me, and after I fap and get that ridiculous shit out of my system I look back and see how retarded being horny can make you

More pointless than the other things you might have been spending your time on? I doubt it.

What is the most interesting field or subject in all the sciences to you? Go wild, and don't be afraid to say corny shit.
For me, personally, it is androids. Watching that one youtube video of an early AI model speaking to others was chilling.

It's me again. I talked to my professor today and told her how easy calculus has been for me so far and of my doing all of her board examples in my head.
She was impressed. She asked if i maybe wanted to give the class a review on the product rule, which is my specialty, during the next tutorial session.
One week into calculus and my professor is already asking me to lecture.
mfw inferior minds are coming to class at the professors behest to bask in my brainwaves

>Hundreds of horseshoe crabs — known as "living fossils" because they are among the Earth's oldest creatures — have been found dead in southern Japan, confounding experts who study the alien-like creatures.
>Horseshoe crabs, known for their blue blood, are a regular summer visitor to tidal flats in southern and western Japan, including one near Kitakyushu city where they lay their eggs.
>Some invariably die in the process, but this year a local conservation group noticed that the number of arthropods that perished was unusually high, a local official said.
>"The conservation group spotted about five to 10 bodies every day during the egg-laying period, so they started to tally them," said Kitakyushu city official Kenji Sato.
>"In total the number of dead horseshoe crabs reached about 500."
>The Asahi Shimbun daily reported the number of deaths was eight times higher than normal.

"But what are dark matter and dark energy, teacher?"
"Uh...we don't actually know"
Should science become more humble in its assertions, or at least in how it popularizes them?

But admitting the limit of your knowledge is a sign of integrity, not the other way around.
Any cultish belief would instead replace "we don't know" with a bunch of bullshit.
