Followup observations have continued to see no evidence for an infrared light excess around KIC 8462852. A naturally occurring occluding body would need to reside in interstellar space, while the Spherical Dyson Swarm is likewise excluded, unless infrared light is being converted to another spectrum at the 99% efficiency limit for thermodynamics. Any artificial occluding device would need to possess non-isotropic dissipation of infrared light.

>celestial bodies need to emit excess IR
They don't you dumbfuck. You got BTFO like 10 times already.
Fuck off back to your containment board >>>/x/

>thinks he's talking to the same person
And it's called black body radiation. All matter absorbs light, gets hot, and achieves equilibrium by emitting infrared light. The fact that it isn't there means that the naturally occurring body (or bodies) that's blocking the light presumably must reside in Interstellar space.
Why does Lawrence Krauss insist on making us look like retards?

>>8263706
Because he's religious.
This obnoxious dumb maggot of a kraut is the only person who's more annoying than Nigrasse tyson. In conferences it's cringeworthy to watch him fail to string two sentences together without constantly stuttering and making snarky remarks to the people asking questions.
>>8263716
The thing that annoys me is he constantly gets into philosophical debates, but doesn't actually understand them, and you can even feel his opponents cringing...
anti-grav and more importantly anti-mass?
For obvious reasons
No, you need to somehow... Get powergrid working right... For solar energy for example....

Nothing, unless you suck at trapping.
Just watched the new Kurzgesagt video. How have I never heard of this before? What do you guys think, how big of a deal is CRISPR?

I can see that happening. Would be nice to get a few extra years of life out of it tho.

How have we not figured out how to lighten eye color yet? It really doesn't seem that challenging being that it's almost entirely cosmetic. Nobody likes brown eyes. They're regularly ranked as the least attractive eye color, so how haven't we figured this out yet? Is it really that complicated? Light eyes literally only survived because of how much more attractive they are.
>>8261316
>t. mad shiteye
it literally doesn't make a difference so why waste time and resources on it
There is a procedure to change the color of one's eyes.
not really
blue eyes arent that attractive imo because ppl with blue eyes seem really cold to me.
but i dont like brown eyes either so green is way to go
Please tell me why anyone should trust scientists who might have ulterior motives, i.e. monetary or ideological.
Examples include studies on animal products (<- meat industry shills, vegan shills), pills (<- big pharma shills) and politics (<- irl /pol/ and sjw shills)
Second question if there is any way to fix this; seems to me like an inherent problem of having experts and capitalism though.
pic unrelated
>>8263166
you shouldnt, which is why you should always read the methodology and references used
>>8263166
that is why they invented universities. they research what they want, usually failing, and they are founded by students, national founds and stuff like that.
one could say that they are influenced by the goverment, but that can be said about everything and is usually not true in the west. and when it is it's usually know that it is
How far does hard work get you versus talent
>>8261590
Nowhere really. No amount of effort will turn a pleb into Gauss, Mozart or Muhammad Ali.
If you didn't win the genetic lottery you might as well kill yourself.
>>8261590
The only proper answer to this question is "we don't know". No one understands the human brain, no one can even define "intelligence".
I guarantee you talent is never enough for anything, especially at football I have met AMAZINGLY TALENTED KIDS. But they've become nobodies because the ones that didn't have talent trained extra hard, and overtime made the talented ones look like noobs.
Work hard for your dream, the journey is everything, reaching the top is not something you want, because the only direction you can go from there is down.

What has the education system done right? Aside from teaching elementary arithmetic.

Turn high schools into competitive trade schools.
cuz they are dumbo
What motivates you /sci/?
Have you ever had setbacks that made it difficult to get going again?
If yes, how did you deal with them?
I've been going to college off and on for the last 10 years.
I have six classes left.
Back then, I was pretty depressed but didn't know it. I tanked my GPA and was put on academic suspension multiple times.
My motivation was to go to school because it's better than working at a call center or on the line in a factory.
I'm not depressed anymore, but I took off 3 semesters and moved in with my grandma to help her with cancer.
That's done now, and I took classes last fall. My gpa is so fucked that I was suspended again even though I passed all my classes.
At this point, my motivation is finishing just to be done. Don't know if I can even get a job with it, but at least it will be done with so I can move on.
>>8258080
>My gpa is so fucked that I was suspended again even though I passed all my classes.
What do you do when this happens?
>>8258042
just like you love spending time on FB or jerking off, I love doing maths
it's really that. People who have been raised wrong end up wasting so much time on Instagram or whatever, and when they can't get off, they're like "oooh i wish i had the motivation to work"
well, sorry, but if you were raised right, you would've been raised with a good work ethic (for things you don't want to do but must do) and a love for a specific subject(s) (in my case math and physics) and you wouldn't need "motivation" to sit down and do something you love doing in the first place
Sup /sci/. Been doing a lot of reading on reincarnation and there appears to be a lot of supporting evidence with even quantum physics beginning to weigh in on the difference between body and mind.
How does /sci/ feel about the evidence regarding reincarnation?
I, as most of the scientists researching it, call it evidence and not proof because we can't objectively prove it.
We can, however, scrutinise what evidence we have and a lot of the evidence holds up.

First assumption in your image is false, the rest that follows is also false. Why they choose the word observeration and not interaction is beyond me. In the simplest sense, every quantum particle is not in a definite state until it interacts with another particle, nothing needs to be "observed".
>>8263826
>every quantum particle is not in a definite state until it interacts with another particle
A non-interacted particle could be in God only knows what state. By definition it's just unknowable.
>>8263815
shouldn't the first assumption be that "interacting with any given particle changes it's state?"
Are we living in a computer simulation?
>>8252598
No.
>>8252598
not computer, but our world is not objective as it seems.
>>8252598
>Are we living in a computer simulation?
If this universe is simulated, the underlying hardware is radically different from the kind of equipment we call computers.
Do people view the world subjectively and try to frame their surroundings in a current cultural/technological context?
Yes.
And that's where the whole IDEA of the simulated universe comes from.
What an incredible coincidence it would be if our current, culturally shaped worldview were also how the universe worked.
That's why objective truth is found in actual science, and not round-the-bong philosophy.
I already have a BS in Math with a focus on linear algebra and some data analysis (python, pandas, sklearn, numpy, sql) work experience under my belt.
If I want to switch to being a Google software engineer, how will this book help me?
Are there any must-read books? I once took an algorithms class that used CLRS but it was a summer course with a bad prof so I didn't learn much. I later went back to read parts of a different book and learned about linked lists, queues, stacks, and I already know sorting algorithms.
>>8258492
You should not aspire to work for Google under any circumstances. Quite the opposite, what you should want for the world is that Google goes out of business /and is replaced wiht nothing/.
Therefore, I will discourage you from your stated career goal. To do this, I will hypocritically point out that per the letter of the sticky, your solicitation for career advice has no place on this board, which is literally true.
The reason why this is hypocritical on my part, and why I also don't care that it is hypocritical, is because I know that 4chan's staff are very inconsistent with enforcement of these "soft" rules, or guidelines which are embedded board-by-board in certain stickies. I just plain don't want to hear of anyone signing up to work for Google, is all.
It's also hypocritical and cynical, in the sense that the guideline is naturally idiotic (of course people who work in the sciences are naturally going to want to talk about their careers on a free-for-all science board, and may even often have constructive conversations doing so), but for the purposes of discouraging this thread I again don't care. I refer you back to the sticky which I will cite when it is convenient to me (now) and ignore when it is inconvenient to me. 4chan's moderation staff does the same.
>>8258492
If you want to go to google, get into competitive programming.
