quantum physics is just a theory, nothing more. it was made up by humans and is not the way the universe actually works. how would quantum physics explain the human soul for example?

We won't use the fact you're a model to discredit you, we'll use the fact you thought it was relevant

>So let's discuss quantum physics.
What about it

yep

>implying there are no people who genuinely enjoy teaching other people

Not everyone is as an anti-social as you.

Most of my professors are doing research, teaching is a requirement for them in order to hold their position at the university.

I'm being violated by the universe.

>what are nukes

We were already wiped out by an asteroid 3 years ago.

I'd say it depends on your product and methods more than luck and circumstance

>>8344211
More like having a good idea+having money+knowing how to make more money of it

I like how you didn't include 'hard work' into your list OP.
I already know what kind of person you are.

americans are being killed by the rest of the world gaining intelligence

for energy, and presumably not, even if we invent something that can put pure energy into us it'll probably have loads of shitty side effects

>>8344181
it seems ironic for 'life' as a concept to exist with killing other living organisms as a fundamental basis, unless you look at life as a result of chemical reactions taking place under the physical constraints of the universe.

wouldn't this downplay any relevancy of consciousness as being anything other than chemical reactions?

is it safe to assume that consciousness is just an axiom that we will never be able to understand?

has to be American born?

>>8344148
yes, so Einstein, Von Neumann etc. don't count

>>8344148
that would fight at the core of what being Murikkkan is

>>8344060
There is no practical application.

It's easier to just pave everything or use flat terrain most of the time. Or just make more rugged/inefficient wheels that can get past obstacles.

Legs and limbs took a very long time to evolve to the optimal state they are in now. It would be very hard to recreate them using only human brainpower.

Basically there is no real economical reason to develop them. It's an extremely complex problem and we have the great ability to alter environments as humans. So we can just alter environment to reduce obstacles and use wheels, which are simplistic.

Get a research grant for humanoid robotics research

>>8344080
Road paving is expensive you underestimate the load it would have on our infrastructure to have more wheeled vehicles around.

Also legs being evolved does not correlate to complexity. Computers we're originally a hired occupational role.

Does this kill the crab?

>>8344086
imagine you squeezed you hand in a gap that small. Would your hand be broken?

>>8344087
The real question is why do the crabs keep crawling towards it?

Reminds me of that time some retard slipped dihydrogen monoxide in my drink. Woke up in the hospital two days later.

>>8344008
>>8344010
That's nothing. Once at a party some dumbass friend of mine busted out an aerosole can full of "the purest dioxygen you've ever breathed man." Needless to say I was in a coma for weeks.

>>8344008
>>8344010

The average lifespan for those who both drink dihydrogren monoxide and breath nitrogen dioxide is 71 years. You're both fucked.

Yes, how do you think we see the moon?

>>8343899
I want to have a more powerful sunlight. Would it look like daytime light or no?

>>8343887
Sure, but why not just go straight to the source? Build some mirrors going from your house to the sun itself.

I'm interested too, bump.

Interested also, bump

>>8343871
>no safety glasses
>no gloves

NICE PPE YOU GOT THERE

Bump, I'm looking into getting a telescope also within the same budget.

Don't forget to consider astronomy binoculars. But up to you.

>>8343990
I've heard binoculars are always good to have in addition to a telescope. Also been reading about eye pieces. Are eye pieces just modular? Like if one is 25mm can it be used in any telescope that uses 25mm?

May be getting ahead of myself. Still trying to research this. Especially the quality of individual products.

It's like alchemy, a pseudo-science with mostly accidental glimpses of truth. It will eventually be replaced by something functional, objective and predictive and remembered only as a historical curiosity.

Psychometrics and IQ are the only large exception to the fact it is by its nature not reproducible and thus not science.

>>8343844
My school calls it Psychological Sciences. Emphasis on neurobiology (aka the physiology of behavior/emotion/blahblah)

Can you rephrase the question?
