What is the definition of "science"?
What is the definition of "ultimately"?
What is the definition of "evil"?

It really changes the answer to the original question depending on those definitions.

Answering the question without your definitions, I will say humans have been using "science" to kill each other for a long time. However, most scientific progress doesn't lead to increasingly more exotic ways to kill your fellow man. In reality, that's the case sometimes. Sometimes science is used to create technology to kill other humans more effectively than before. I don't think the desire to kill each other more effectively is human nature; I think human nature just tends to more effective processes in general. Killing each other is one of these processes. Therefore, I don't think science is ultimately evil.

Define "evil".

Furthermore, define the objective set of morals considered "good".

Now, provide evidence that studying the natural and physical world through rigorous and repeated testing and observation is, as a whole, working against "good" (defined earlier), or in a way that is consistent with "evil" (also defined earlier).

Was the comet that killed the dinosaurs evil?

While this is standard, when you really start being able to on-the-fly recognize easy way to add zero or multiply by 1 it's an amazing tool that never stops paying dividends.

Keep it up OP.

What's your variable of integration?

Disgusting.

Calc 1 wasn't even a regular course for my BS degree, it was a prereq.

Freshman in college here, is Calc 2 really as bad as they say?

You hit the sweet spot, when you hit the ball the bat had a modal Faraday resonance and negative quantum state.

Monitoring, but a physicist wouldn't be able to help you.
They can't handle anything with more than two particles; they couldn't handle something as complicated as a baseball bat

All the kinetic energy was transferred to the ball rather than it being expended/lost in the form of sound

[math]f(x)=ceil(x)[/math]

What do you mean explain? Explain what that is? It means a function that you can input any real number and any answer you get out will be an integer. Example:

f(x) = 0^x

0 to any power is 1, 1 is an integer. Domain is all real numbers, range is 1.

floor and ceiling functions

x^2 still includes elements of the real numbers greater than 0

Its from gravity pulling the d down and making it droopy. Basic physics

>>8339809

It is hard to prove because you need the correct definition of integrale (the Lebesgue's integral ) but also some classes about manifolds.

>Does infiniity exist because of entropy?

It actually exists because of quantum consciousness. Before you collapse the wave function, all possibilities exist simultaneously, and this idea would be logically incoherent without the idea of infinity.

>Would it take more energy than exists in the universe to calculate Pi to it's final decimal place?

Not with a quantum computer. Due to the uncertainty principle they require no energy at all to perform their calculations.

But i wonder... if pi is infinite, then every mathematical equation ever made should be present in pi.

What if we based our quantum computers on pi, and gained an infinity of information?

We could make our quantum computers on pi, and then use them to find more decimal places of pi, making them stronger.

I wonder if the quantum computers could develop consciousness though and then it might be bad.

As a human, I feel a bit lonely not having a different species to communicate with intellectually.

DeepMind has a TTS thing, let it train on dolphin yells, let it yell at dolohopons and see how they react

>>8339564
no because otherwise how could you have Inter-Universal Teichmuller Theory?

>>8339564
Based on no real evidence except intuition I feel like if you dig deep enough into the rules you will hit something that can only reasonably be described as "magic"

So no

Shut up please.

Max Tegmark made a claim for that being the case and he's a pretty smart guy so probably.

Nope, believe in the soul.

Humans break laws of nature and physics to do something called "freedom".

There is no way the brain obeys the laws of physics and is predictable. Look, think of the average person you know, do you think they are just a chain reaction of physical interactions and not something spiritual and special?

Nothing to do with science

You want to know what I think? Thanks for asking what I think, I will tell you what I think. I think econ major is stupid. You are better off getting a forehead tattoo saying I would sell my mother for the right price. All you care about is dem scheckles. You come over here, to a science board, and ask what I think about econ majors. You piece of shit. you want to do economics and not be a shithead? Be a math major, do post-grad research on game theory. Be John Nash, wank over him every night. BUT DON't come here and ask me or my son what I think ever again you piece of absolute shit econ major what the fuck is this ? Israel? Like what the fuck. Get out of here before I beat your ass

Well we don't know if europa's form life had even cells. Maybe they would be so different that bacterias wouldn't recongize it as a potential life form to take profit of.

>muh planetary protection

>>8340401
It'd be ideal to know what the fuck was going on on/in Europa before we mess with it.

Manifest Destiny of the galaxy is our birthright and all that, but introducing extraneous Earth bacteria could mess things up and make finding or understanding Europa life forms (if there are any, you get the point) harder.
