I don't know if this deserves its own thread, I lurk a lot but I'm not smart or a STEMfag, but I want to talk about climate change. There's a lot of conflicting infirmation out there and its hard to do my own research as a layman because the real info is hidden in "actual" scientific papers that are hard for me to understand. So give to me straight /sci/. Are we fucked?
yes
>>8258546
We're fucked in the ass and pay out the pussy/pp hole, mouth, ears, and nose with taxes and cost transference. They turned climate change into a nice excuse to print more $$$ from the jewish controlled federal reserve.
>>8258548
What can we do at this point to mitigate the damage? And what are most damaging factors of climate change. I understand it'll be a lot warmer, what will happen to the agricultural industry? What is the average citizen's life expectancy after the crash?
are robots' motions staggered because of the limitation of the motors or the limitation of computation?
>>8258489
Both.
If you really wanted smooth motion, I'd consider constructing a mimicry of muscles and joints.
Shouldn't be too difficult to construct an arm.
> theoretical physics/maths btw.
>>8258496
i think i am going to do something like this.
i'm in my last of 6 years of double electrical/mechanical engineering and comp sci minor
really wanted to go into robotics but i'm having a hard time finding a job with no experience, so i'd like to try my hand at building my own. probably will be difficult as fuck but at this point i have a good spectrum of experience; i think i could pull something off
Isn't power a limiting factor in robotics? Could you build a useful robot with a diesel engine?
Does thinking too hard cause headaches?
Because I got a killer headache right now.
stop thinking so much about dicks OP
>>8258399
You must be a brainlet.
Lots of brainlets in my precalc class claimed to have gotten headaches after the class.
>>8258399
I have experienced this, usually after some intense analytical thinking for more than 12 hours. It feels like the use of one particular neuron causes the pain (continuing to think about the same thing). Nothing helps except rest.
Pretty sure 90% of sci can't tell if the asymetric carbone on right is R or S.
Give the answer in 30 minuts if no one prove it
R
S

It's a 50/50

Is Pomodoro a fucking meme? I use and i still fucking crash at the end, this time with a longer overall time. Isn't this shit supposed to make me work more efficiently on problem sums? It just keeps makes me fucking break my focus and come back, before that I usually take a break whenever i feel tired.
Is anyone else experiencing this or am i just stupid.

You don't have to thank me. I am a PhD so these things come naturally.
I rarely visit here but I've had this question haunting me for years now.
What's the physical/biological basis for color theory? Why do we see certain color palettes as good combinations and other as bad ones? Why is the classic triad red-yellow-blue is different from RGB, which I doubt many people see as appealing?
Moreover, why does human eye see good color combinations as pleasant? What's the evolutionary benefit from it, if any?
Finally, is there any mathematical law which defines good color combinations? I understand that in music, chords and octaves are actually natural phenomena—they're defined by very strict mathematical relations. Is there anything similar for color mixing theory?
it depends on both physical factors (wavelengths) and human biology (i am not a biologist) i believe, unlike music where frequencies are universal

>Why is the classic triad red-yellow-blue is different from RGB, which I doubt many people see as appealing?
Red-yellow-blue is almost like magenta-yellow-cyan, which are the basic colors of subtractive mixing (pigments), while red-green-blue are the basic colors of additive mixing (light, or the three types of light receptors). No idea why that makes this triple more appealing, though.
>>8257368
the words "good" "bad" "appealing" "pleasant" complicate your questions. you may want to think harder about the definitions of those words. Is it possible to ask your questions without using those words or their equivalents? many scientist will respond by saying it is not the responsibility of science to explain why something is "good" or "pleasant."
personally, and since this board is anonymous, I dont care if this sounds offensive, I find it irritating when people think evolution has to be the answer to everything. "why does light have frequency?" "why does 2+2=4" This isnt a atheist/theist/evolution/creation argument, I'm a bit of a fedora tipper myself, but dont you think there are other explanations? you people sound like the ancient aliens guy that explains "aliens" are the answer to everything.
Just recently worked with CRSIPR/Cas9 on yeast. Really amazed about it. What do you think?
Did you just do random misesnse mutations or did you use a guide for homology-directed repair? I'm trying to use a guide and would appreciate some tips.

homologous recombination. it actually worked in 2 of 6 clones.

Why is evolution so controversial in the US? I mean, in the rest of the world people who don't understand evolution are seen as mentally handicapped, yet in the US it's a non-trivial segment of the population.
>>8257342
Fundamentalism and Evangelism are seen as the norms here. Heck, we still have a beef with the Catholics even after all these years.
Bear in mind, each generation is instilled with a sense of fear of the unknown. Some of us don't even trust doctors or academia. The anti-intellectualism never truly went away here.
>>8257342
It isn't properly taught. I know I didn't understand it till I got to college. I don't really it ever being mentioned in biology, even the AP bio class I took but as a very basic sort of thing. I don't really remember it being talked about in freshman biology either. It wasn't till I took physical anthropology and mammalogy till we actually got into the nuts and bolts. Hell, one of the kids who graduated with me at a state school didn't even believe it was a thing, and he was our valedictorian (I graduated from a hick school in Texas because it was cheaper).
Part of it is teachers not wanting to deal with angry parents and indignant kids. So it's kind of self perpetuating.
I would also say it's used as a distraction to get people riled up politically. It's always framed as an us vs them argument, which is bullshit.
In the free world, people know but rarely understand evolution, desu. It's more like people think environment itself affects directly, for example, a rabbit living in a city would itself turn grey to match its concrete surroundings and asphalt. To claim that people understand evolution outside the US is a bit too strong statement.
Can anyone provide insight as to how/why to calculate the EtOH content of a substance in g/L is the ABV (%) multiplied by 8?
Examples:
Beer at 4% ABV is simply 4(8) = 32 g/L EtOH.
Whiskey at 35% ABV is 35(8) = 256 g/L EtOH.
Basically, what significance does the digit 8 have? The chapter on forensic alcohology in my forensic medicine doesn't elaborate.
>>8257338
The density of ethanol is .789g/mL, round to 0.8g/mL and convert to g/L and you get 8.

Does anyone else have a desire for a chemistry board? Or even an organic chemistry? Pic unrelated
>>8256224
Not a bad idea. It could keep this place free of chemists. While we're at it, we should make some for biology, sociology, and psychology.
>>8256256
What's wrong with chemists?
>>8256269
Nothing. Just physicists and mathematicians are better.
What are some good resources to learn Probability Theory and Statistical Inference?
I've been using book in pic, it's good for understanding concepts but it does not go deep at all.
I'm looking for something up until, and including the 5th chapter of Casella & Berger (more is also good)
If someone would give me material that also teaches R, that would be ideal

The manga guides taught me more than lectures. But the stuff taught before the new chapters begin are all weird and notation is abused as fug. You're better off referring to books that focus on applications on the topics taught at the very end.
>>8255812
wtf, that manga guide to statistics is a real thing? And there's also a linear algebra version? the hell...
Why wouldn't a circular version of this work?
>>8255034
i think they call it a particle collider
>>8255034
>Why wouldn't a circular version of this work?
Not with direct contact between the object being accelerated and the rails. Dealing with the friction acting on the rails and the projectile remains the single biggest problem in railgun development.
>>8255034
Because as the projectile goes faster you need a stronger magnetic field to bend its path into the same-sized circle, so you'd need to use variable electromagnets with a ludicrously high maximum power for a ring so small and a projectile so large, assuming you want to get it going fast enough to be better than a regular gun.
If cell A divides into daughter cells B & C, would that mean cell A has died?
>>8254480
It has merely changed form
Serious question:
Why does the answer to this question matter?
you could see it like
A -> B
(and C is a byproduct of this transformation)
