From what i can get from the usual process a baby must grow within an amniotic fluid sac (The amniotic sac and its filling provide a liquid that surrounds and cushions the fetus. So the amniotic sac is optional.) at about 98 degrees F. The baby must also have a nutrient tube of some sort (which is arguably the most important part). Wouldn't mimicking most of these things be somewhat easy? why cant we grow a human or an animal in a vat? I would imagine doing so would have been possible already but im no biologist so please enlighten me. Is it cause of moral and cult related issues?
( i was confused for a while and did not know if this belonged in /g/ or /sci/ but /sci/ seemed like the logical choice)
>>8320012
Its an ethical and moral issue of growing humans in vats.
>>8320015
really that is whats stopping us? i thought it would be something more technical....
They just figured out how to keep a simple embryo growing to the point where it would attach to the uterine wall. It's not easy at all, and all the research essential to be able to do it is currently illegal.
Do you think we could use nanotechnology to essentially "widdle" the brain down to a more ideal form i.e. removing emotions like pain, boredom, sadness, depression, and anger. If we could move away from these necessary evils with rational thinking, life could be more bearable.
>>8319998
Nah do it like the vulcans, get rid of emotions with culture.
If you accept the possibility of lost of emmotions, it would be better to just create a self-replicating and self-reparating AI to substitute the human species. The problem is that humans are only motivated to progress and knowledge due to curiosity, wich is emmotional. But I don't personally think it is bad to gradually substitute the human species with machines, we just need to make them in a way that they keep looking for progress and self-preservation.

>your cells will never have cell walls
Why do fungi, bacteria, and plants make it look so easy?!
>>8319963
Fungi have tiny dicks
>>8319963
>you will never be as rigid as a tree
>>8319963
Well guess what? Because we don't have cell walls we can fuck fungi, bacteria, and plants' shit up without fucking ourselves up.

So to answer your question OP: inexistant.
do traps count :3
you could have prevented this.
You didn't open any funny tabs like "gay sex" for your screenshot. Do you even meme, son?

hmm it didn't do shit.
Is being a professor actually as bad as people say it is?
no it's worse.
those who cant do teach
>>8319925
And those who can't teach do.
The moon is a planet. Despite what bs definition the iau makes, that giant ass world there is a planet. If it orbited the sun directly it would be another planet called Luna.
Something as small as the moon would eventually trail another planet or a giant like jupiter and faill into their orbital range and start orbiting them instead.
You and your shitty moon has no chance.

Anything with hydrostatic equilibrium I call a planet (except a star)
As far as subject matter goes, and curriculum, what are the differences between pure and applied mathematics?
Pure math = Intellectual masturbation
Applied math = The stuff that actually matters.
>>8319666
Applied math is to pure math as experimental physics is to theoretical physics.
Pure math comes up with new and interesting ideas and applied mathematicians come up with some mundane way to apply it to the real world.
Creative vs practical. They're basically the engineers of math.
>>8319687
Engineering literally means creating
What am I missing here?
This is silly, but I can't disprove it.
>>8319661
>the tubes on the left side have a bigger volume (because of gravity pulling the lids downward)
No, dipshit. Gravity is pulling down on every part of the entire structure uniformly. So everything would balance perfectly, and the wheel would not rotate.
>>8319708
still don't get it.
>>8319732
But did you do all those things? You didn't answer my question.
Can society both within STEM maintain morality (I.e. "has science gone to far" meme), and achieve empirical data with low error? Should we limit what science should and shouldn't do? I personally believe that scientific progress shouldn't be restricted at all, but what does the rest of /sci/ think?
>>8319473
Anyone who believes that science should have unlimited freedoms with regard to ethical and moral concerns is an autistic freak. Science is nowhere near as important as empathy and causing pain or misfortune for scientific research is, in my "humble opinion", is a crime against not only humanity but against the very essence of scientific research.
I think races shouldn't be researched
There's nothing to gain from it
>>8319473
There's plenty of ethical shit to research, no need to do ill-advised stuff
Let's get another one of these going.
Share your favorite STEM based YouTube videos, video lectures, or channels.
Just found this guy's channel today, he's got some neat content, I liked this one a lot:

Favorite channel right now, Applied Science. Some of the work this guy does blows my mind. This video is my favorite.

Is fracking causing earthquakes in Oklahoma? searching the web gives conflicted results. It seems a lot of the locals are blaming "waste-water" and directly saying fracking is not the culprit
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/research/induced/
As part of the fracking process, waste water is created which needs to be disposed of in separate deep wells. It is these deep wells that are correlated (likely causal) with the earthquakes.
However, these earthquakes are large enough to be felt but very rarely cause damage. So it doesn't seem like a big deal.
Yea. It's fracking retarded
>>8319420
Yes, they basically said that very thing and started banning fracking there.
http://earthquaketrack.com/p/united-states/oklahoma/recent
Oklahoma, United States has had: (M1.5 or greater)
15 earthquakes today
36 earthquakes in the past 7 days
114 earthquakes in the past month
2,506 earthquakes in the past year

there is no such thing called gravity. the water level is at the same point at everywhere at the planet so things just go up or down from it based on their thickness. the water is 0 and other things are + or - something.
>>8319413
fat people have alot fat which is lighter than water. so that is perfectly right they float. a skeleton would sink.
also a plane can fly because it moves away the air with its motors when flying creating nothing for sometime under its wings and body. the wings help it to glide but not to fly because they dont remove all the air.

Is there a correlation between having a lifetime partner and being successful researcher?
I can't handle romantic shit, or pretty much anything that has to do with other people.
I don't think I can raise a kid either.
I just don't want to marry in general.
But when I look around, every successful person in academy that I know is already married and has a content life.
>>8319249
Define 'successful'
>>8319253
The term is broad, but what I meant as 'successful' can be translated to have a nice track record in researching, i.e. has an ass load of papers (heavily cited by other researchers), is in the steering committee of a subfield/field, work on big projects, etc.
I think having someone that cooks for you when you work really helps.
