Yes.
Understand the unit circle and you can quickly find back any trig formula you need.

Where were you when /sci/ got BTFO?
Conspiratards could be right for once.
In Israel, some informed sources suggest that the reason for the destruction is far from technical and may never come to light. For the Lord has given the command, and he will smash the great house into pieces and the small house into bits. (Amos-6-11) They cite the only previous SpaceX failure, which occurred in June, 2015, when a Falcon 9 rocket carrying supplies to the International Space Station exploded just a few minutes after launch. The company set up an inquiry team composed of 11 staff members which never released details of its findings.

This was my first thought when I heard about it.
Just saying, but there's a lot of people happy about SpaceX being grounded.
Hi sci is my first time I post here.
It is possible that there's another hominid slaving us? If not how is possible that a species averaging 150 in IQ became extinct? Does not make sense to me.
>>8333371
>Does not make sense to me.
Fortunately it doesn't make sense to any paleontologist either.
>>8333371
They cucked themselves by becoming pessimistic nihilists, ultimately deciding their fate as a forgotten species that would die out quickly due to lack of motivation and social skills. They believed their analytically oriented brains would carry them to salvation.The last living member was on his deathbed when he decided he needed to keep this legacy alive in some way. With his last dying breaths, he typed away furiously. As he slid into unconciousness, he hit the "enter" button on his Linux, and created a monument to his species. That monument, was /sci/ itself.
>>8333371
They've built pyramids and other shit.
Discovered speeds higher than speed of light.
Left this shit planet
How do they send images to the Earth? Did they discover WiFi on Mars?
>>8333355
How're you this dumb?
>>8333355
NASA has a super amazing WiFi on Earth that can reach Mars. They only get 1 bar out there though so it takes forever to transmit stuff back.
>>8333380
Yea basically, sometimes if they want many pictures at once they send ISS to orbit Mars for a while and come back with the photos.
If the ISS has some kind of retrothrusters and was able to slow it down to the point where it was stationary to the ground it's above, would it fall straight down?
>>8333354
yes
>>8333359
It's in space you fucking retard, there's no gravity to make it fall
>>8333362

I'm new to this board. Is that his version of a "theory of everything"?
thats a big theory
Is it possible to move an object from rest at point A to rest at point B without any energy consumption?
Assume no friction, elastic losses, air drag resistance losses or otherwise. Rest is defined as static equilibrium. A pendulum at max height is not in static equilibrium
>>8332665
What do you mean energy consumption? If you're moving an object with mass, it will have energy.
If you mean moving an object without losing energy, look at situations where you convert gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy.
>>8332665
>Is it possible to accelerate an object without energy being "consumed"?
No.
>People really think there isn't a center of the universe.
Are these the same people who believe the world is flat?
>>8332566
Point in its direction then
>>8332566
So how do you know that the universe's topology even allows for there to be a "center"? What if it's topologically closed so it loops back in on itself? In other words if you keep heading in one direction long enough you'll end up back where you started.

Observe an explosion in a vacuum.
Is there any validity to the claim that dinosaurs were not real?
>>8332535
No, unless you are talking phylogenetically in which case there is a semantic argument
>>8332535
Are those components of a fabricated "dinosaur" of a fossil?
>>8332535
Uh.... y-yeah, dinosaurs are totally real, dude... No need to think so hard about it. There's nothing to see here! Move along!
Where can I find STEM teaching resources that aren't complete garbage?
Especially maths, any teaching resource for maths teaches a small and randomised subset of the set of things you need to know from it, and explanations are never without gaps at critical points.
literally khan academy is what you described
khan goes out of his way to make sure he doesnt skip any steps or concepts
there's no leaps in his explanations or problems, and if there is a leap he points it out and tells you what lesson its covered in, and often writes it all out and explains it anyways
it can get a bit "slow" at times, because he never rushes, but it's a great source because you know he will never skip anything or leave something unexplained
also you can rest easy knowing your teacher is smart. khan is a precocious academic prodigy; he has multiple stem degrees and his IQ is well over 140. he is a very good teacher.
>>8332538
i forgot to mention he also usually does an intuition video before he explains the theorems and all that stuff, which is really helpful for understanding how and why these theorems/laws were created
>>8332538
>video tutorials
They're so slow, that even if they're comprehensive it's faster to read multiple things to get the same information.
Starting a new cryptography group, decrypt the text and do what it says if you want in.

anyone have advice?

if you are good with your hands, get into your schools machine shop and actually make some shit.
if you are more inclined to mathy type analysis of things, download ANSYS and do some modeling of a thermal fluid system.

Congrats to ULA for successfully launching OSIRIS-REx just now. THATs how you build a rocket, Elon.
Careful anon; the r.ddit spacex defense force will be in your thread soon to tell you how "shit" ULA is and how SpaceX will magically have "70 successful launches in a row just like Arianespace" from now on.
SpaceX will magically have 70 successful launches in a row just like Arianespace. ULA is shit

By taking a design that has changed little since 1957 and adding a Russian rocket engine?

And why the fuck is Aerojet still buying RD-180s from the ruskies? They bought the goddamn engineering docs for them after the USSR collapsed. They have everything they need to make their own.
Is the GRE really this easy or is time really that big of a factor?

pharmaceutical heroin does not damage organs or have any negative long term effect on health. shoot up in glory, boys.
>>8331550
True, but the ease with which you can overdose combined with the desire to chase the same type of high as the first time makes it a pretty big liability
>>8331841
meh, i've been fine for 11 years of IV use. zero health problems thus far and i've never OD'd.. knock on wood.
