If the square root of -1 is calculated to be i, and has merit due to its applications- why wouldn't the cube root of -1 be both -1 and an imaginary number?
Are there just no applications for it?

Pain is just a signal that there is potential damage to parts of your body. Evaluate whether this is the case and then either act or ignore the pain.

Could Fermi's Paradox be explained by quantum physics?
If quantum fuzziness increases the longer it's been since an entangling interaction with something, then presumably a planet with life could become a planet without life if left unobserved for long enough.
Not from the perspective of said life of course, since quantum effects are an observation of many universes, but if two life forms went too far apart, they might start to decay from each other's perspectives.
It'd explain why we haven't encountered a race that spans millions of galaxies despite there probably being numerous planets with life per galaxy and no obstacle to each of those planets having a good chance of eventually resulting in such a race.

First of all, the Fermi """"""paradox"""""" is not a real paradox. It essentially boils down to "hurr durr why doesn't reality behave like my infantile beliefs I acquired by watching shitty fiction movies". Bad news, kiddo, this is not how reality works. The universe is not obliged to host alien life only because some manchildren want their fantasies to be satisfied. Science starts with observation, not with belief, and if there turns out to be no other life in the universe, science will find an explanation.

The Fermi Paradox doesn't say "why haven't we found life in the universe despite all the cool science fiction having it".
It says "why haven't we found life in the universe despite the fact that any occurence of intelligent life would span galaxies in a fraction of the age of the universe and that there are quadrillions of planets from which possible life still could have reached us by now if they started spreading a cosmologically reasonable amount of time in the past".
As time goes on, "inhospitable" planets keep seeming more and more hospitable, the number of planets on which life could possibly evolve is staggering.

I work at a research firm that is very high risk low budget power generation research. Instead of giving me the title of research director, the man who funded the project calls me a methodologist. I came here to share a new technology being thrown under the rug by my boss who is from some island that isn't even a country and most likely will never know I shared this with anyone in my life time.
The technology we use to power the mans island which our boss said wouldn't be profitable, is made of a few very interesting components which I will list below. Anyone who knows how a turbine engine and simple moving parts work, are going to easily understand what it is we tried to do, with their imagination.
The turbine engine consist of two separate tubes with fluid inside of them.
1. In one tube is super fluid that isn't just super fluid, but, has tiny magnetic particles inside of it as well that saturate inside the fluid.
2. In the other tube is an extremely hot plasma that is kind of between gas and liquid due to the pressure in the tube. At some parts it's gas and other parts it's liquid.
3. There is an electrolysis device on the plasma side which generates some extra energy from the heat while still having enough heat to turn the turbine with pressure. The heat side is very complex because the tube has parts that have many smaller tubes.
4. The super fluid side has a kind a switch on the magnetic polarity of everything from what blades of the turbine are what polarity to what super magnets outside the tube decent to flip.
5. There is a copper coil shaped like a torus inside the cold tube which seems to help move the metallic magnetic flakes around.
You might be asking why so many parts and tubes for something that could be made more simple and the reason is that we were throwing everything at the wall to see what was going to stick. We managed to generate enough power to keep the super fluid to have the engine "efficient" and the rest of our energy is geo.

So where does the energy come from?
>>
>>8178201
Point 3 is dodgy. You really want to convert energy from heat from as high temperature as possible to as low temperature as possible in one single step. An initial step using electrolysis to generate energy (how???) would mean lowering the temperature and is thus unlikely to be beneficial.
Something initially raises temperature. To be efficient you should look into this part.

This is more interesting than you realize. There isn't any fixed point "center of the universe". When your time machine jumps 6 months into the future are you in the solar system with the Earth on the other side of the sun, or is the entire solar system a googol kilometers away?
The Earth is moving relative to the sun which is moving relative to the center of the galaxy which is moving relative other galaxies and so on. All velocities are relative to something else you define as stationary. How far the Earth has moved in 6 months depends on some other moving object you're comparing it to. If the object is the Earth itself you haven't moved at all.

fellow /sci/entists, I was going through an old coursera math course that was still up (signed up for it in 2014, started going through it last month) and today the course was closed. I got a fucking error message and I'm like 30% in. I'm so pissed & depressed at the same time.
what the heck happened to them? did anyone archive all those awesome courses or are they all gone now?

How about you get a fixed schedule for self-learning? Your shitty time management skills is why you only did 30% and were progressing slowly in the course and probably everything else you do.
