Nope id fuck her giant mouth though

Why do women in science look weirdly hot, I don't mean conventional hot, but there is something about that woman in that pic, I'm not usually attracted to these kind of people in public, but once I knew she is science, I sort of get a boner or an attraction towards them.

I had this one tutor in my grad school who was a postdoc in her late 30s I guess. She was almost like a skeleton, not muscles, but she had tits, which she covered up with some hipster clothes, but she is very attractive in a weird way, she didn't get married, so that must be something.

If she was atleast close to my age I would have tried to hit on her, but considering that I'm not white and there are a lot of virgins in physics, I don't think there would be a chance for me.

Destiny is a brainlet concept.

Assume that you're playing the game of chess with someone: If you lose, you might say that the defeat was destined to happen. But in reality you just did shitty moves, and some chess engine could show you exactly where you went wrong. The same applies in the world; there's just a lot more moves than in chess.

>>8342761
there's nothing that chess cannot explain

what if you are born with shit tier genetics and when you will in your 30s get non smokers lung cancer?

Someone might suggest philosophy, but in reality philosophy doesn't provide answers, only more questions. Try religion -- They have all kinds of cool explanations of the world around us.

>>8342635

why are asian girls so cute? is it nature or nurture?

many "why" questions can be formulated into a "how" question.

Those "why" questions that have some sort of subjective element can be studied scientifically only at a meta level (think behavioral science as it relates to religion, for example).

Science is just to elucidate the natural world, not to give some sort of grandiose purpose.

>>8342513
Get a machine that does those things and put them in a human.

Well, information can be transmitted through the air using technology, so it could be possible for biological processes that could transmit and receive brain-to-brain communications?

Maybe. Probably not though because it sounds really fucking hard to do with biology.

Supposedly Sony released a paper in 1998 which supports ESP phenomenon exists. They ended their research when they discovered they could not monetize it. I wish I could find that paper.

After World War 3 fusion will be phased in.

>>8342474

waat?

"cold fusion" itself has only been theorized, not demonstrated. So making an investment on it seems stupid. At any rate, fusion plants are still nuclear powered (albeit through fusion, not fission) so if your country bans nuclear power it also likely bans (or greatly makes more difficult) fusion power.

And 100 MW even for a small city is not overkill at all. Cheap power means a manufacturing boom.

>>8342474
>Will Lockheed Martin's compact fusion be ideal for powering smaller cities?

They won't be able to "figure out how it works" enough for implementation, until literally the last drop of profit has been extracted from fossil fuels.

(((Coincidentally.)))

Define death.

>>8342472
The absence of life.

>>8342476
So something that never had the capacity to live is completely consumed in death?

>>8342371
They don't have motivation. It just happens randomly.

>>8342371
None, but changes accumulate and its far harder to lose information than gain it

Why were unmotivated, single celled organisms competitive?

>le random chance
That's obviously not a correct response. Something forced them to compete, which lead to evolution.

I used to study math in university, but I stopped because they dropped my grades for stupid reasons. For example, I once checked what was wrong with my test answers, and it turned out it was full of red ink saying "you didn't explain this and this and that thoroughly enough", even though I verified from the course page that I got every single answer correctly.

My average math grade was about 3.25 out of 5 even though it should've been at least 4+ out of 5. I said "fuck you" like Van Darkholme and switched the major.

>>8342367
Ur my hero

I want u inside me

I had my first math lesson at university yesterday
I thought i was talented but I didnt understand a shit
Is it gonna always be like that?

Calculus is easy

Of course it's possible.

But why in the fuck would you only wanna stop at calculus?

If you can do algebra well you can learn Calculus pretty easily
calculus is just fancy algebra

>>8342202
State.

Electricity

>>8342229
This

>>8342100
Yes

It would probably be more intelligent, neanderthals had bigger brains and better eye sight

>>8342110
Better eye sight means more brain power needed, pleb, and they were bigger generally

What you're talking about is a near death experience, which is your brain hallucinating because it's dying. It's like a video game glitching out before it crashes.

>>8342087
Your brain releases a bunch of chemicals before you die, if I recall correctly DMT is one of those. It's like being forced on a drug trip with all kinds of trippy side effects. If your love of anime is strong enough you'll probably hallucinate about that. It's nothing you can't achieve through a properly made drug cocktail though.

>>8342087

>Please tell me there's some scientific theory that says our thoughts are somehow still in motion after our brains stop functioning

There isn't. Have you ever been under anesthesia, op? Death is like that except without the part where you wake up. Which is to say death isn't like anything at all since anesthesia just seems like instant time travel between the point when you're put under the point when you're woken up.

It's probably just coil whine

I feel u anon. Happened to me a lot last year, but doesn't happen as much anymore. Maybe my head got used to it and just labelled it as bg noise

I also hear it. Don't sweat

>>8341931
Okay I'm fucking stupid. Somebody explain this shit to me in a way a normal person can understand, and why does it blow mathematicians out?

>>8341960
Somebody finally went and made a long-fabled automatic theorem prover that actually works. Now we can use supercomputers to automatically discover new mathematical concepts at a far faster rate than before. There will be all sorts of crazy new discoveries that will end up revolutionizing the applied sciences.

>>8341994
Really? That's pretty fucking cool Anon. At what rate would mathematical concepts be discovered? And what is the estimated time before any new concept discovered be applied?

>>8341879
doesn't your uni have subscriptions?
either way, you dont just go and lurk journals like you do 4chan. talk to a professor and tell him you wanna do research

>>8341887
>lurk journals like you do 4chan
Wait, you're supposed to talk to people in academia?>
>doesn't your uni have subscriptions?
They do but I want to take them home.

scihub lmao
