This is a Snailfish, they're found at the bottom of the Mariana Trench and can withstand pressures of at least 15,000 pounds per square inch.
With that in mind my question is, how would this creature (or any other animal capable of withstanding such high pressures) cope with being smashed by a hammer? Like because that's obviously a lot of pressure so if someone smashed it up with a hammer would it be OK?
Thanks in advance.
>>8131874
If you brought it up to sealevel then it would explode from within
external vs internal pressurization
The pressure affects it pretty much equally from all directions, as opposed to being smashed by a sledgehammer.

>withstand pressures of at least 15,000 pounds per square inch.
>implying their entire body isn't itself 15k psi internally.
Anyone else unable to understand/retain information when reading digitally? I find it's impossible for me to remember what the fuck I'm reading and staying focused when I'm reading a pdf on a computer screen. I started printing out all the research papers I have to read and am saving so much more time.
Plus, as much as I made fun of highlighting brainlets in grade school, highlighting big ideas in papers is so fucking clutch. "Didn't this one paper say something on this matter?" *look through* *read highlights* *find it*
Also, when reading novels, I can recall geometrically where events/cool quotes occurred on the page by picturing an open book in my mind, e.g. "Estella rejected Pip on the second and third line on the right page". I typically remember equations by remembering what the page looked like that they were found on. I find reading online totally dampers this trick.

You are probably too old or too dumb.
I say too old because I am relatively young and I had my first computer when I was like 8. At this point I've spent half of my life in front of a screen so that is maybe why I'm used to it.
All the books I use for university I have on my phone and I work as a programmer so being good at reading digitally is a must.
Just retire gramps.
>>8131861
this seems like a valid argument to be honest OP
sorry grandad

I've spent more than half my life in front of a computer and I have OP's problem as well.

Fake image. Human eye can only see 3 waves: red, green and blue. All other colors is just mix of 3. Violet, yellow and other waves not exist!
I was making spaghetti and I lost track of time, came back to find it burnt. Initially my reaction was "ohhhhfuckmeintheasshol how am I gonna eat this now?" and then I got to thinking; raw meat has bacteria and shit and you shouldn't eat that, so you cook it to kill all them bugs n shit with heat. So surely, if you burn it to a crisp, you've killed more bacteria, there are less diseases lurking on there, and therefore, burnt food is healthier.
Also, I ate the burnt spaghetti and it was fucking delicious, just the meatballs were a bit crunchy.T
I think it's a question that suits /ck/ better
>>8131549
1) Enjoy your free radicals (cancer).
2) Cooking is more to denature proteins than to kill bacteria
"burned" food has a different structure and is processed differently
If I put an electromagnet in the water would it still work? Would the water make the magnet weaker/stronger or would the field be unchanged?
It would make the magnet wet
>>8131570
It would be quantum wet, in a state where it is wet and not wet until a human puts their hand in the water to collapse the wave function by creating a literal wave.
Run the current and try it, OP.

Make sure you're grounded tho. Otherwise you might kill.
If you haven't read and thoroughly understand this book, I urge you to quietly pack your stuff and leave this board by tomorrow.

Nah, don't leave. Just read the book. It will be well worth your time.

Explain. Doesn't shit like this put a dent in peoples minds like how they perceive scientists ? Even on a minor scale, isn't this a psychological setback for the perception of scientists on the population ?

Scientists are the priests of today, and like the priests yesterday, scientists are just as hedonistic as other people.
>>8131086
>hedonistic
as in lacking reflexivity. THe sole fact that they accept to be praised like priests show how egotistic they are.

What does everyone think about LaTeX for writing notes? I've been using word to write mine but am getting sick of the equation editor. Is learning how to use LaTeX worth it in the long run?
Can you use japanese characters in LaTeX?

>What does everyone think about LaTeX for writing notes?
I do it. I like it
> Can you use japanese characters in LaTeX?
probably
> What are some beginner tips that will make my life easier
get a template and just start playing around.
>>8130965
I actually prefer taking notes with pandoc markdown. It supports the same equations, but is generally faster/easier to use. I still use LaTeX for anything more serious though.
LaTeX is not hard at all. The only things that are sort of a pain in the ass are matrices or trying to put weird alignment on many equations.
What does /sci/ think of hydrogen powered cars for the future? Would it be possible and how much would it cost?
>>8130800
Given the high price of fuel cells and the difficulties with handling hydrogen, it seems hard to imagine much of a future for them. Battery-electric vehicles appear to be heading to dominate short-rage travel, so hydrogen vehicles would have to compete with petrol and diesel on longer trips.
I am surprised that no-one has discussed vehicles running fuel cells on other fuels. Methanol in particular would seem like a reasonable option.

NASA tested Stirling engines and said they were great
>>8130835
>NASA tested Stirling engines and said they were great
What? When did that happen?
The only NASA research I've head of on Stirling engines was their radioisotope Stirling generator for spacecraft, and that thing got canned in a budget cut a few years back (which was a shame).
All of the work on Stirling-powered cars I can recall happens decades ago, was primarally done in Japan, and found the manufacturing costs were too expensive and the power density couldn't be made high enough.

Why do people believe in free will? If we observe nature we see that everything is determinated by the laws of physics, biology etc. Why would humans be different?

because we have souls
>>8130650
What?
>>8130657
Souls are apart from the physical world and belong to another realm that we can't comprehend. So they are not dictated by the pre-determined laws of physics or maths. This is what separates from the inanimate rocks and this is how we have consciousness.
