yo what is this board for

>>8283685
Science & Math

Though engineering has its own board >>>/hm/ if youre interested

Say you invent something /sci/ related and useful who the actual fuck do you talk to about it (other than /sci/) if you are outside academia and have no connections.

Genetic distance.

>>8293491
Humans and the other Great Apes (monkeys? come on man... i know this is a bait thread but jesus christ) diverged far too long ago and are now too genetically distinct.

Horses and Donkeys are extremely close, Lions and Tigers not so much but still can be done... as for Dolphins and Whales, I never heard of such a thing and without googling, I wager you are making shit up at this point.

Yes, a number larger than 1 multiplied by itself many times results in a large number while a number smaller than 1 multiplied by itself many times results in a small number. It's pretty obvious if you think about it for more than a second.

So 2% extra effort over 365% days equals a number higher than 0% extra effort? wow

[math]{1.00}^{365}=1.00[/math]

Did the wheel making humans stupid? What about the cotton gin? Point is, it's not making us stupid, but it is making us lazy.

>>8298720
If it's making us lazy, what are the non-lazy alternatives to software? Writing notes on paper?

>>8298720
>Did the wheel making humans stupid?

it increased the likelihood of obesity though

>what are you talking about
ah, something to have with frice

>>8298673
Yeah, that's very ambiguous.

>>8298486
Math is beautiful.

By suffering from any one of a number of cognitive diseases that disables critical thinking and social behavior.

- What are the applications
- are they worth it
- do I have a mathematical Foundation that let me learn the content without doing too much research
- learn it if both yes

>falsification

popsci does not belong here. >>>/trash/

>>8298363
Prove me wrong instead of posting /pol/-tier dismissals.

Or else get out.

>>8298363
the ability of falsification is actually a classical criteria for distinguishing science from pseudoscience

How far is Proxima Centauri??

How long a shuttle travel to Proxima Centauri?

If a ship craft travel at speed of 650,000 mph, How long it would take to reach Proxima Centauri?

>>8298263
never

Tomorrow

Actually though I think that starshot breakthrough is going for it within two decades? No idea how they play on not having their probes fry though, and they haven't honestly published anything to make me have faith in the project.

Is it a bot or what?

Cell division
Not hard
Read about herpes too, which is a virus capable of injecting itself into the dna of a host

>>8298025
Chain reaction? It's not a chain reaction, it's cellular division, essentially the same process that occurs throughout your body every second.

>>8298029
Well, yeah, nothing seems hard when you have a middle school understanding.

isn't eugenics a better argument for the advancement of man when the take the feelings out of the argument? wouldn't any child want to be born smarter and stronger?

can any type 3 etc civilization ever be benevolent? or does it require domination and violence, and ruthless adherence to logic? does our intangible ''humanity'' make us human? is it holding us back?

There aren't "infinite multiverses."

There isn't a multiverse where earth is just a gigantic ball of human semen.

Why does everyone hate on C++ so much?

Intuitively I jump to no but then I keep thinking.
Privacy will be dead in terms of "not being watched my the government" by the time this technology is available, eta around 10-40 years.
This is hard.

This is more a question for /his/, really.

We are already allowed to torture people in video games, it wouldn't be different in a matrix if the other people is only A I.
In the utilitarian society we live in, you'll be allowed to do anything as long it doesn't generates negative consequences.

>>8297584
ask your professors. academia is a small world.

Have you considered doing a google search for "graduate programs in ______ physics?" I guarantee you'll get results. Once you find a program, read the bios of the professors and determine if their research is interesting to you.

Do you know what field you're most interested in?
High energy?
AMO?
Condensed matter?

>>8297674
I want to do computational physics, but more theoretical than just numerical methods. Something like information entropy/quantum information theory

Let's you be a math teacher which itself is a useless job.

I really regret not majoring in math. Ah well.

>>8297524
why do you regret not being poor?
