I have a question that I hope people here that are more knowledgeable than I, can answer.
What is the point of life.
To git gud, nob...
But really- there is no point- which means you are free to give it a point. Isn't that nice?
>>8279112
>What is the point of life.
To live. <\thread>
>>8279112
There is no actual purpose other than to survive long enough to breed. So, basically, you get your life for free. Try to think long term, follow your passions, and make it enjoyable. In society you will always be competing for resources, so there will be some struggling.

Optimistic response? In the next ten years maybe perhaps.
Realistic response? Not until shit down here gets so bad that we HAVE to. There's not much point to sending fragile meat sacks to alien worlds when we can send cheap, expendable robots that can gather more-or-less the same amount of data.
I can find the best graphing calculators.
I can find the cheapest graphing calculators.
But I can't find the best, cheap graphing calculators.
What are the best, cheapest graphing calculators?
I am currently renting a TI-83 from my Community college but I'm transferring to Georgia Tech and I want to own my own. I only get $600 to spend at the bookstore, so I will be buying books, not calculators.
>>8279051
Just use embulator
>>8279060
I need something appropriate for a class room setting.
>>8279051
I've got the TI Nspire CX CAS. It's bretty gud. Just don't use the touchpad cursor thing, it's pretty useless except for shifting function names around on the graphs. Buttons are faster. As with all calculators, get used to the buttons and it's a fine calculator.
So geobros, redpill me on fracking. I almost never see actual geologyists comment on it, it's always political hacks from one party or another.
there's not a lot to know, it's just more extreme methods of extracting natural gas etc that are generally worse for the environment
SO SAY WE ALL
>>8279048
That's geothermal, not fracking you retad
>he went to college to study "biochemistry"
>he went to college to learn """""science""""""
Biochem has effectively become the new psychology degree.
It's the "default" degree that millennials take when they fall for the "everyone needs to go to college" meme and they enter college not knowing what they want.
These are people who think they'll fit in because they've spent their whole lives on this earth and think it'll be easy.
They've never bothered to learn chemistry or biology concepts in their spare time and just expect college to teach them everything because they really have no passion for chemistry.
They don't even do their assignments outside of school and certainly never open lab notebook outside of class.
Ask any one of them if they've ever conducted an experiment in their spare time for fun and they'll look at you like you're crazy.
And what do they get?
Biochem programs are almost unequivocally shitand only people who spend their spare time self-learning the stuff their classes leave out have any chance of making it in a science world.
In an ideal world, you could self-teach most, if not all of a biochem curriculum yourself, but you still need that slip of paper that says you went to college, so that's not realistic.
Most biochem graduates cannot experiment worth a damn, and can't implement any ideas or a concept that wasn't explicitly taught to them.
Don't fucking bother with biochem. Major in something you couldn't realistically learn on your own and teach yourself chemistry on the side.

Cows are a major cause of global warming.
So what if we installed large heat sinks on grazing cattle?

Hey /sci/ I've been wondering about what particles are and all I find on the internet is what I learned in high-school. What are particles actually like? What is an electron, are they physical things?
Each particle is unique. Electrons are very different from protons who are very different from neutrons.
>>8278706
Irreducible representations of some lie algebra
We know they are spherical, and each kind of particle has different parameters:
>mass/energy
>spin
>charge
You want to read about:
>electrons
>protons
>neutrons
>photons
>neutrinos
>tachyon

Monica Lewinsky has a sort of noticably roundish squarish jaw as opposed to a more normal pointed jaw.
I dated a girl who had a square jaw, and she ended up being cheating slut who had fucked up daddy issues.
Xena Princess Warrior is a sort of masculine female character who also has a square jaw.
Sigourney Weaver the protagonist of every movie in the Alien franchise also had a square jaw.
Is there some science I can look at on women with square jaws, and other information I can gather about people based on their jaw or other facial features?
>>8278686
If you don't breed with women with square jaws your sons will be jawlets that will NEVER learn.

>Physiognomy
>>8278692
So I googled Physiognomy and found a wikipedia article calling it a pseudo-science and a bunch of other sites associating it with stupid old-timey racists, but then are all these scientific studies posted on non-partisan sites and partisan sites of both ends that all purport some kind of connection between physical characteristics and personality traits all just part of an uber-racist mega conspiracy?

I looked her up on arXiv, she publishes stuff measuring galaxies and shit
I am definitely going to ask her about KIC 8462852, will probably be a pleasant surprise for her? (consider that this is a pleb university in a pleb country, she probably never gets any interesting questions)
I used to bother my physics 101 and 102 professors after class with all kinds of inane pleb physics based questions thinking they'd like me and that I'd be making a connection with them. Looking back at it I realize how cringey it all was and how much they probably hated me.
>>8278662
the whole (a+b)(a-b) = b(a-b) destroys the concept because it messes with zeroes, which distorts the final answer.

Is it belived that looking/falling into a Black hole you'd be able to see all of / end of the Universe ?
Sounds like some bullshit theory. I know that you should be able to see the universe as a sphere shape where the gravity is bent but not into the future or anything, that sounds like pure BS
>>8278626
The idea is that because of relativity time for you passes extremely slowly relative to the rest of the universe.
