You're some form of ASD, probably, go get a formal diagnosis for the real talk.

Frankly, you'd have to be autistic to work through one of these tests.

I see a lot of talk about intelligence, but what about creativity? Is there a concept of creativity testing in psychology/sociology? Is there a such thing as g-loaded creativity? Can it even be measured? Are there aspects of creativity that aren't subsets of intelligence?

"intelligence" isn't really a scientific term, and it isn't used by psychologists on a regular basis. There are types of intelligence, when you are trying to take some predefined measurable traits and quantify them, but even those only give you a rough clue.
The general approach to modern psychology is not to try to quantify things. The brain is a very complicated organ, and the most accurate predictions come when we look at it as an entire system that exists under different distinct conditions.
From that point of view, it's less constructive to think about comparing different brains for overall performance. Instead we compare how these different conditions cause biases in behaviour and thought patterns, and how they influence emotions. Since psychological studies are often focused on mental health, the aim is to find extreme conditions and understand their nature. Often people find ways to cope or live under circumstances where the symptoms of their conditions never become a cause of suffering, and these are the things that psychologists try to understand.
Even the concept of mental illness is difficult to describe when it is often the case that two people with the same mental condition may experience them completely differently.
tl;dr Intelligence is not a very useful concept, since it is purely utilitarian, and science aims to explore the objective nature of the universe, not quantify its usefulness.

How does it feel to know that any crazy advanced tech like FTL, free energy, etc., if ever invented, would get legally barred from being disclosed or patented?
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invention_Secrecy_Act
>...is a body of United States federal law designed to prevent disclosure of new inventions and technologies that, in the opinion of selected federal agencies, present a possible threat to the national security of the United States
>A secrecy order bars the award of a patent, orders that the invention be kept secret, restricts the filing of foreign patents, and specifies procedures to prevent disclosure of ideas contained in the application. The only way an inventor can avoid the risk of such imposed secrecy is to forgo patent protection.

Pear Shaped Nuclei and the Implications on Physics

So I recently read this article that talks about how scientists have discovered that the nucleus of some elements are pear shaped instead of being symmetrical. The article asserts that the reason for the pear shape is because the nucleus points toward a direction in spacetime meaning time is linear and thus time traveling to the past is impossible.
My question is since the nucleus is pointing in a certain direction, does that mean time has a directional component? Like if we traveled far and fast enough in the direction the nucleus is pointing would approach the future faster than someone who wasn't traveling in that direction?
I don't know much about the subject but it seemed interesting and I was hoping for some clarification on the subject.

It's bullshit in which regard? The shape of the nucleus or the impossibility of time travel?

You just highlighted all that is wrong with the modern educational system. Kids who are taught nothing but theory and have no idea of what is going on on the workshop floor. This is why employers always demand experience. If you can't sort out a two-stroke engine how will you be able to design improvements? You really think that your Otto cycle diagrams are the be all-end all of engines?

Why is pop science so annoying? I watched the minute physics big bang video, and not only did he oversimplify the history of cosmology, he acted like the "big bounce" and infinite universe theories were somehow unchallenged and settled science. And of course, he's made several videos with meme science nigger.

There is a video blocker add-on for Firefox and I suggest you start using it.
I have over 80 channels and dozen keywords blocked.
it makes youtube almost 99% clear of this type of content.
>>
>>8167433
The videos are short and full of half-facts to please the greatest pleb audience possible. Lots of ad views = $$$
If it were not for the $$$ these channels would not be making videos. That proves that their content is intrinsically worthless.

It's not a theory, just a poorly formed idea.
The large scale structures of the universe do not have any functions that neurons do. The structures also lack connection to other specialized cells

1/100
>>
>>8167356
not quite.
probability of singles = 9/10
probability of dubs = 9/100
probability of trips = 9/1000 etc.
in the dubs category, the chances are spread between 10 possibilities (one for each digit).
So the chance of obtaining the string "X77" where X is not 7 is 9/1000.
