Leptons are fundamental, ie they aren't made up of anything. Quarks have a property called "confinement" so if you tried to separate them you end up just spontaneously producing another quark pair.

I don't understand plate tectonics, if this is how the plates are arranged, how do the continents drift so far while still retaining their shape? Also I understand it won't be much but how much has earth changed through written history? I know a few small islands have popped up like that one off of Iceland, but do we know how much has changed? Thanks in advance

>how do the continents drift so far while still retaining their shape?

protip: they don't retain their shape
>>
They don't retain their shape, the edges of plates push up or over each other all the time, this is how most large mountain ranges are formed (Andes, Himalayas). In other places the plates are splitting apart and new land is being created there, most of this is under the oceans but places like Iceland and the African Rift Valley show this on land.

What does a typical 4 year undergrad math curriculum look like? I want to self study.
21 posts and 1 images submitted.

Pre-calc (if you need), calc, linear algebra, differential equations, vector calc, statistics, discrete math, abstract algebra, analysis.

Depends on your specialization, though. For pure math, you'd probably have to take abstract algebra 2 and analysis 2.

I'm a programmer and while I was working on another project, I stumbled onto an algorithm that solves the Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) exactly in all instances.

You can read more about the problem here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travelling_salesman_problem

My algorithm is also more efficient than any current solution.

Seeing as such an algorithm would have many applications in various fields, I was wondering what I could do to protect the algorithm and make a profit from it.

I've already looked at world wide patents and licensing, but there seems to be some areas of grey when it comes to things like computer/mathematical algorithms.

Has anyone ever patented an algorithm or knows the ins and outs of trying to patent one and licencing it out to companies?

Depends on how the time travel would work. Can the mods start deletingthese idiotic "what if magic was real" threads that have nothing to do with science?

Obviously you add a compensator to calculate the position of where the earth was x years ago.

Telegraph antena so we have trials on earth, yes, they are composed of chemistry, but sometimes we need to spin atoms trought continents back and froth to maintain certain things... Part of chemtrals project
#population_control #weather_control #brainwave_influencing_of_civil population

It attaches something like thin layer of vibrattion with trought the signal is widened to another port. Than it carry certain frequency that have something like response in human brain...

It has some uses in mantain cropps , gmos, everythink

To be fair, microwave exposure does exert effects on voltage dependent calcium channels, which then affects signalling, gene expression, and causes a release of neurotransmitters from the synaptic cleft.

To say microwaves do nothing to biological systems is bluntly false, and we've known this since the 40's. People are just bent out of shape because it became a "thing", people separated into binary tribes, and love their cell phone and wifi too much to be capable of intellectual honesty.
>>
>>8250084
Also, you forgot how chemtrails are depleting our copper levels to control neurotransmitter synthesis, and that aluminum and barium nanoparticles are being used for wireless technology to control your brain!

Don't usually browse this board,but..
Anyone here ever wonder how most of the inventions are even possible. It seems too bizarre to me that things like the television, submarines, satellites and other complex stuff came to be

How can scientific progression continue when most don't have an interest or even the least bit of knowledge the subject (even with online help)

Of course they are complex to people that have no idea how they behave.

But once you understand how nature works, basically being able to comprehend how the fundamental particles function is enough to know it's not that complex in the end, just amazing engineering from humans.

If all out needs were met without much effort on our part and there was no greed, would science and technology continue to advance or would we lose interest and devolve into something more animalistic?

Annunaki are in a magnetically charged Planetoid circling the Sun, monitoring our internet communications and in debate whether or not to destroy Earth. Are we a threat? Are we not?

If you are one of the Red Haired Giants, then please contact me and let me have my say. I have a right to take part in this debate, I am a living sovereign and loving sentient being.

I understand that science is held far above 'spirituality' to your kind. This means that humanity has a road to explore you have chosen not to. This makes us worth observing and not destroying. What if we are able to discover something that your are not?

If any threat exists, it is only to ourselves through a financial system that is destined to fail. But the new generation, hold the health of the planet in a much higher regard and are already beginning their work.

What if humans are the first intelligent life in the universe and in the far future when we colonize planets in other solar systems the different groups of humans will evolve differently and then re-discover each other as different aliens but all the aliens evolved from us, so basically we are the ancient old ones that spread life around the universe in the future

no.

Why do people try to act like it's cool to be a physicist? They're like, "Look! I have discovered the true shape of nature!" Meanwhile, the mathematicians are like,

"Sheesh brutha, a magician ain't supposed to be given away his secrets!" And then he shrugs it off and goes back to his work, and laughs internally to himself.

He thinks, my only regret is that I won't be alive when they learn the purpose, the reason behind my study of algebraic geometry. But at least I have laid them the building blocks behind how to study it.

Physicists are the people who are advanced from mathetmatics. You just couldn't pass the babby level maths stage and can't get in the big boys league which is why you're stuck with your chalkboard doodling pointless hypothetical problems you made up that has literally zero applications in the real world.

Physicists > Mathfags

Haha, but you fail to realize one important fact, my Newton-thumping friend, that your entire system of belief is based upon the structures that have established. You are just using OUR tools. OUR TOOLS.
