I'm not sure what makes this 'applied.' It covers the basics of a phyics undergrad, if not a little light on electives/special topics. If you want to sell the title 'applied,' you should consider some internships during your summers, or maybe doing research in an engineering/experimental lab that focuses more on design or instrumentation than fundamental science.

>>8121226
so I'd just be cucking myself if a chose that over pure physics? would I be better off with computational maths or electrical engineering or something?

Applied physics is called Engineering.

You're looking at the wrong courses. There are some decent ones out there if you look a bit harder.

Even Brian Greene said it: everything is made up of information.

Unfalsifiable. Consciousness and self-awareness can be possible either way. It's only disturbing because humans have a tendency to worry about irrational shit - the same reason you may have at some point in your life felt uncomfortable at the scale of the universe or something along those lines. It clearly isn't making any impact in our lives. I suppose you could claim it debunks afterlife, but afterlife could be simulated, so that's not really true.

you can not survive by eating poop. The 2nd guy would die almost immediately, same with all the rest

>>8120630
sure you can, how long is unknown but many organisms eat their fecal matter.

>>8120638
Organisms that re optimized for doing that. Human faecal matter has very little nutritional value

The CIA/FBI has targeted you. You know too much or asked the wrong questions.

You can block the directed subsonic sound devices and microwave radiation they're using to scramble your thoughts by putting insulating aluminum drapes over your windows and wearing sound canceling headphones. Don't drink the tap water unless you run it through a reverse osmosis filter, they've probably already gotten into it.

>>8120619
The tap water part is actually good advice because the water here is shit, so thanks for the tip, but the rest is a shitpost.

How did your train of thought got you from brain fog to paranoid schizophrenia?

>>8120604
Most likely is related to lifestyle or envirement. The obvious culprits are lack of good quality sleep, incorrect glasses or contact strength, staying inside too much and not looking at far away objects enough, nutrition, social lifestyle or lack there of producing anxiety and a whole host of other stuff.

Have they ever successfully thawed out mammals before?

I think they did something with a dog at one point.

We could go to mars now. SpaceX's rocket landing technology makes it possible.

The only thing keeping us from doing it is the lack of money and will.

thankfully Musk has both.

Ah the DailyMail, the world's most untrustworthy news source.

we cant. we got cucked

why does the scientific community suppress so much of this evidence of a flat earth?

>>8120495
It's gonna happen they are building the rocket and spaceship
As for the Europa business yes he was uninterested in Europa but Congress forced him to add a lander so there will be a lander anyway.

>>8120508
I doubt the SLS will even fly once
SpaceX will be going full speed ahead on their big rocket
Maybe Blue Origin announces THEIR rocket...
And then the SLS will be left sitting there capable of only 1 launch every 2 years, costing 5 billion each....

Yes. What a waste of 8 years.

The only good thing to come out has been commercial crew/cargo and Elon Musk will soon make NASA irrelevant.

Forever, for one problem

Death and destruction are beautiful things because
1. without things going away, time with them now wouldn't be as precious
2. coming to terms with impermanence is an experience i wouldn't ever want to take away from someone else; i used to think i'd never come to respect it, even promoting transhumanism [no, not that trans] with religious fervor; in the end i saw that all things, including the bad [and the good] must come to an end, and there is beauty it in... you don't see it until you get sick of the bad and wish the good to rest [with the rest of resting existance]

>>8120388
Death and destruction is nice when it's the death and destruction of things that would lead to your own death and destruction, otherwise, it's to be avoided.

The first is a tired point.

It's sour grapes. Living forever seems unlikely, so people make up ways in which living temporarily is better. I'd bet they'd forget their arguments were the grapes ever to fall.

Better to be like Durandal or Roy Batty. What fun they had trying to escape death!

I don't know, we have a lot of universes and big bangs and heat deaths to figure that out.

Cashiers can go for sure. I've been using the self check-out aisles ever since they introduced them back in the 90's. Fuck people looking at my groceries.

I'd probably say:
2
depends on the def. of 4
9
The others the appeal is the human component or the skill specialization might not be realistic (i.e. janitors, you could get a floor sweeper but random messes/hazards you'd need someone on the job).
