Are there any actual negative effects of marijuana or is it just another weak meme ?
why does michael phelps' face look cut and pasted onto his neck?
>>8272358
He had to get a new body after his last one was ruined by marijuana use.
>>8272355
Fuck off druggie.
Can you tell me /sci/:
- what resources are we running out
- what resources we are not running out of
- what resources we have alternatives for
I can find little about it except for that book I've read.
> Running out of
clean water
> Not running out of
humans
> alternatives for
creating energy from non renewable energy sources, i.e. countries that turn into wind/sun/hydro etc..
>>8270107
We are not running out of clean water
We are running out of white humans
Energy is not a resource.
>>8270086
I don't think we're running out of any resource. If one resource becomes more scarce, its price will increase and substitutes will become more attractive.
I can't think of any one thing that we really need that we're running out of.
It's actually quite unfortunate as I would love to see the end of civilization in my day. It would be very interesting to observe.
Hey /sci/entists!
Time to figure out if you are smart or not.
Here's the scenario:
You are going to the Moon. You have to walk around on the surface of the Moon for many hours. Your space suit is well insulated but you of course need the ability to cool your body to avoid overheating. Since you are basically in a vacuum, you cannot use DX cooling like your house or car does (there's not enough air to reject heat from a condenser coil).
What do you do?
Hard mode: No googling or researching the Apollo missions.
>>8275547
I stroke my dick and convert the heat energy into cum energy
>overheating
thats not an issue with spacesuits when its 0 degrees outside dickbutter
/thread
>>8275554
...you ran out of cum...
You are dead.
Will Hillary disclose UFO info publicly?
No. She would dissapear and be replaced with her cyborg double immediately.
>>8272882
>implying this hasn't happened yet
>>8272882
Sorry, I forgot to say that the elections were rigged in her favor, I think she's definitely going to win... aside from that, will she be the first to disclose UFO info?
I have been reading up on Mars colonization and terraforming possibilities.
Unexpectedly, everything seems pretty doable, including terraforming, except for one detail. Even if you were to change Mars' athmophere to be closer to earth's, the plnet wouldn't be able to keep it for 2 reasons:
1. low gravity. Fundamental elements like Oxygen and Nitrogen would leak in outer space
2. no magnetosphere. Solar winds would gradually strip way whatever athmosphere you put on the planet
There's one thing I don't understand though, which is the time scale for this to happen. If it were hundreds of millions of years, it wouldn't be much of a problem, but obviously if the scale is even just hundreds of years or, god forbid, even less, it would mae terraforming impossible.
Anyone knows about this?
>>8272471
The magnetosphere thing isn't a big problem. If we're able to create an atmosphere on Mars conducive to life, we'd be able to maintain it. Simply create it faster than it's stripped away.
>>8272478
That's why I'm asking the time scale of these events. If they're slow enough then it's doabl to mintain it for millions of years, but if it's very fast, you either can't keep up with it or end up exhausting the planet's resources trying to do so.
>>8272471
>and terraforming possibilities.
No. Shut up.

I wonder when will NASA fix that fisheye lens. It confuses people into thinking the earth is somehow curved.

You're in denial

Every single evidence points to a flat earth. Sorry m8y
The vite spiral. This spiral is growing following a fundamental law of #nature, namely the #Fibonacci spiral. A mathematical sequenze of #numbers that can be converted in a #spiral. The Fibonacci spiral describes the less amount of #energy required to build a spiral with biological structures.
>>8274887
Snails.
>>8274892
And most of the spirals in nature follow this rule.

You are sent back in time to ancient Greece with a smartphone containing the most recent wikipedia data dump. However, you only have 8 hours of battery life and you left your charger in the year 2016.
What do you do to advance ancient Greece to at least a 1950s level of technology?
Make a charger.
EE here.
>>8274504
I think not knowing ancient Greek would be a problem.
>>8274504
I believe the language barrier would be insurmountable.
can sci explain why there's so much disrespect for CS people here? No seriously. My school (which is very good at both math and CS) have very high respect for CS people, and I personally found the 2 introductory cs classes I took to be equally if not harder than my upper div math classes, which includes like complex analysis, algebraic geometry..etc. Yes I'm a math guy. Just a sincere question.
math and physics majors hate CS and engineering majors because they get good paying jobs straight out of college
>>8268081
it's a meme, partially encouraged by the fact that a number of CS freshman are half-braindead morons who thinks they don't need math because they want to be epic hackers or game developers.
As usual just ignore the trolls.
Math / Physics majors think of CS majors as codemonkeysm
CS majors think of Math / Physics majors as glorified calculators.
They are both right.
Let's try this again. Apparently these women calculated trajectories for the Mercury/Apollo missions (also they're making a movie of them, hence pic related). What exactly does that entail and was it important or not? Woman on the left is named Katherine Johnson, if you want to wiki for more details.
I'm just trying to understand their actual contributions.
They were calculators.
Doesnt take a genius to use a slide rule and know parametric equations.
>these women calculated trajectories for the Mercury/Apollo missions
Did the calculate it by themselves ?
>>8272948
One of them wrote a foundational paper for computational methods in astronomy as a result.
What is this, anyway? Some poorly veiled attempt to discredit some old black ladies because somebody acknowledged work they did? Are you really that insecure?
>the proof has been left as an exercise for the reader
Google it.
>>8269550
I hate when they do this. Particularly when the proof doesn't follow logically from the proof the writer just finished (and isn't even similar).
>The book has exercises
>It doesn't have the answers
JUST
Post your math questions and problems and have people discuss them with you.
No homework, no textbook recs, no "who would win between memezuki and grothendieck in a fight" please, there are already many shitposting threads, let this be about actual math.
if i pulled off the riemann hypothesis would you die
The was posted recently, but it's an excellent problem. Solve for alpha only using classical geometry (no trig).
All right, here's some linear algebra to warm up:
Let [math]f \in \mathcal L(\mathbb C^n)[/math]. Prove that [math]f[/math] is diagonalizable iff [math]f^2[/math] is diagonalizable and [math]\ker f = \ker f^2[/math]. What can be said if instead [math]f \in \mathcal L(\mathbb R^n)[/math] ?
I'm just 27 but I want to live more than a century.
how do I get there?
how do I change my lifestyle?
I've never drank alcohol nor done any drugs.
Is coffee bad for the health?
how much exercise?
should I become vegan?
>>8276342
The more exercise the better. Definitely every day and at least 1 hour a day. I think you start to get diminishing returns around 4 hours/day.
>>8276342
>I've never drank alcohol nor done any drugs.
this is your problem desu senpai. the best this society has to offer is numbing our time here.
bump
>>8276346
what kind of exercise? i weightlift, feels good man plus I hate low intensity endurance shit.
Are mental thoughts and human reason physical things? Are the processes we call thoughts entirely defined by physical matter and energy interacting with other physical matter and energy according to the rules of physics?
Like, is there will?
>entirely defined by physical matter and energy interacting with other physical matter and energy according to the rules of physics
If I blow your brains with a shotgun, would you be able to keep constructing those thoughts without the existence of the physical medium you call a brain ?
>>8275042
I don't know. Why would I ask in the first place if I knew?
Maybe you are just cutting the ties between mental and physical, so I can no longer let you know that I am still thinking.
>>8275050
Yes it's cutting the ties, because thoughts are a physical process and if you destroy what originates thoughts, you destroy thoughts.
