Capablanca, maybe. But chess skills doesn't determined by intelligence, it's a memorization based game where you could get better only by classical conditioning.

Bobby fischer, he knew the truth about the jews
Bobby Fischer will forever be the best human Chess player that ever lived, more than likely the best that ever will.
Real quick question guys,
If you could measure the individual masses of all electrons to an infinite degree of specificity, would they all have the exact same measurments, or would there be some discrepancies between these values?
If there was a discrepancy, what would account for this difference?
>>8238424
Can't wait for the anon who has found a way to measure electrons with this kind of precision to answer your question.
>>8238424
rest mass? no
inercial mass? yes
>>8238441
What did he mean by this?
Okay guys (and a few girls, i suppose)
What's the future of evolution? Cybernetics or Genetic augmentation? Pick a side, debate and post thoughts and articles that corroborate your stance.
No, "both" is not a valid answer. Stop being a little bitch and compromise already.
Suggesting alternate opinions is valid and highly encouraged.
I feel like Genetics is the safer way to go, Cybernetics are just to fragile in my opinion.
A genetic augmentation drug that is able to be spread through all forms of media (air, water, etc) wins.

Because math is nothing but a set of axioms which you use to derive logical conclusions
If you change the axioms, the conclusions change
If whatever number system you want to use is telling you 1=2 you might want to use a different system/watch a different video.

they aren't equal
they look equal in principle, but the sequences go at different frequencies
it's like saying all the waves are the same
when saying quantum entanglment, spin of two electron are set to be opposite, then get one away from other, and if you detect one then other will be opposite.. and physicist saying "it transmit immediately". how shit is it? reason why it is observed "be oppsite" is cause " it was set to be opposite". isnt it??
This is an English speaking website.
Yes it is. It's a very common misconception that most people are unaware of they're'nt really hiding it.

I don't usually browse /sci/, but I figured there ought to be a biochemist around here.
I've noticed that I work at least 10 times better (and also just as much happier) under the influense of oxytocin, and considering I don't have the time or personality to get hugged all the time, I figured "what if I had a nasal spray with oxytocin?"
Google gave me nothing on home-brewn oxytocin. So where can I find a step-by-step guide? Or a scientific paper on the matter?

Chem isn't my specialty but I can tell you right now that, unless you have enough capital to buy a factory, buying the pills will be a bazillion times cheaper than manufacturing your own. Both methods are illegal though, and if I were you I'd go for a legal opioid like Kratom: less addictive and less dangerous.

What is the scientific explanation for the fact that many people are very emotionally attached to quite trivial things?
For example: why are so many people genuinely interested in and obsessed with celebrity culture; or sports?
Pic unrelated.
>>8236619
>celebrity culture;
We have an instinct to be curious about the people we "know", and we "know" celebs from the media.
>or sports?
Beats me. Probably something tribal.
>>8236619
People in general are idiots.
>>8236619
I would say sports because of tribal instinct/the same reason for nationalism/patriotism.
For celebrities, I think it's a dreaming thing, i.e. they see celebrities as the embodiment of what they wish they could have achieved.
Think about it like this quote from Up In The Air:
>You know why kids love athletes?
Because they screw lingerie models.
>No, that's why we love athletes. Kids love them because they follow their dreams.
I know it's trite and sounds like some pseudo-inspirational bullshit, but it's true.
How do we know if a random number generator is truly generating random numbers?
>>8234475

Does true randomness exist in nature?
Or is it theoretical like infinity or the number 0?
>>8234475
We do. The answer is always "no".
I always heard the normie meme that time is the 4th dimension, but thinking of objects like a hypercube or tesseract, I do not think that those objects have really any relation to time, as 2d or 3d objects don't.
Then again, my major wasn't physics, rather aerospace engineering. Just an anon who went through a Star Wars The Clone Wars binge and was thinking about craft using a method of utilizing the 4th dimension to travel shorter distances. Something like the 2d square faggot thing discovering how he could quickly travel in 3d space in the book Flatland.
>>8234213
Idk what a hypercube would look like (I haven't imagined it and have no care to knoe). I can tell you that time is not the 4th dimension of a hypercube.
A tesseract doesnt have time as one of its dimensions, its just an object that has X Y Z and W coordinates, hence, 4th dimensional. You just see it "move" cos you literally cant see its entirety, just a rotation on one of its 4 axes (assuming from the most typical image of tesseracts)
AFAIK time is considered a "4th dimension" mostly because of that whole space-time shebang, although Im not a physicist so...
>>8234213
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minkowski_space
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-dimensional_space
These are different concepts. For one, distance is measured as [math]\sqrt{\Delta \Delta x^2+\Delta y^2+z^2+\Delta w^2}[/math] in [math]R^4[/math], but as [math]\sqrt{\Delta x^2+\Delta y+2+\Delta z^2-c\Delta t^2}]/math].
Is it possible to reverse the effects of Dementia In someone with advanced Alzheimers? If so could the person access information that was previously lost? Or would they have to relearn everything?
>>8233932
No, because entropy
I'm afraid that would be very unlikely, by the advanced stages of Alzheimers, there will have been significant cell death throughout the cerebral cortex. Whereas in the earlier stages you might have demyelination and withering of dendrites due to amyloid plaque formation and tau tangles that affects connections at a cellular level, by the late stages of the disease the damage will have occurred at a gross anatomical level; the brain will be physically withered and literally shrink in mass. It's pretty sad.
Alzheimers have reduced brain mass they have holes in the brain walled by a plaque which is believed to be remnant from protein breakdown
The neurofibers become tangled and the synapse degenerate
So no, not really. They cannot learn much less relearn
What books are there that talk about the origin of the universe, about how the universe came into being? What was before Big Bang?
I know that the question 'what was before the beginning of time' is not really a valid question, but what books help understanding the subject?
I've read picrelated so far.

Theories have evidence by definition, you idiot.
Hypotheses have no supporting evidence.
For example: the theory of general relativity vs the inflation hypothesis.
