>How much does a city weigh
Alot
>could they tilt the earth?
Maybe

>>8223547
If you want to take the post down by all means I'm not offended simply a disaster with feet.

>>8223535
A city weighs a lot but it could never weigh enough to affect the earth's rotation

the earth is too heavy

>passing electric signals through wood

obv no

If the only function the computer needs to perform is storing information, then you could just carve some shit into a wooden plank.

Yes, technically. I don't see why not.
I just don't know where you're going to get all of the wood.

take some math classes

Fractals get real small but they always look the same.

I have a math minor but I'm out of school. I guess what I don't get is how you represent the "set."

So for the Koch curve for instance we start with an equilateral triangle, perhaps we'd represent this as a triplet of ordered pairs (the vertices) but then I don't see how you'd represent the relation to go to the next step where you put a triangular "bump" in each side. The mandelbrot set is stated as
[math]z_n+1 = z_n^2 + z_0[/math]
this is pretty clear that the "generator" is [math]f(z_n)[/math] and the "initiator" is [math]z_0[/math] but I don't see how to explicitly describe the relation in a similar way for the Koch curve or many other curves he draws.

No the new world monkeys never produced apes so hominids cannot possibly have existed in the Americas unless they came from the Old World.

Never said it had to come from the New World. I just know that since the apes spread as far as Indonesia and Sumatra, America doesn't seem too implausible.

>>8223284
Well apes came from old world monkeys so they couldnt exist in the New World.

can't wait to see china fuck up haha.

I hope they continue to make good progress. What a good day for science.

Eugenics race when?

>let's just smash shit together until it werks
Such an imprecise solution for a complicated problem

>>8223155
thats the way technology has been doing business since forever. academia usually only gets ahold of it once industry has trial and errored their way into something that "could" work.

we we're using steam engines long before the science of thermodynamics was fleshed out.

Stop posting these horrible threads. You don't need to use /sci/ as a LaTeX sandbox when there are countless better options.

>>8222987
Did you know you can just run pdflatex on your computer?

who cares?

>>8222986
So you agree?
>who cares?
I do.

>>8222988
i don't agree or disagree because it doesn't matter

Fuck you, I am a radiologist

It will never happen because nobody wants their lives depending on a dumb machine

Done

admittedly, if I didn't know sacred geometrical techniques I wouldn't have been able to do this at all.

I don't know any intuitive method to pentagon construction

Dude use a compass.

Make a circle

With the same radious of the circle dp 5 marks in the circle

Then you only have to make it

It's so fucking easy dude

>>8222880
Its about a perfect math pentagon.

>>8222846
only if you can prove it

in that sense, all math is trivial

Define 'trivial'.

For a high IQ genius like me it is.

nothing beats printing on laser
and nothing beats printing on laser a paper whereon you tweak the margins and font.

Usually read them online and take notes in a notebook.
I use to print and annotate, but its been a while since I've needed to read that in depth.
