something something extremely smart something can't relate to people who are x standard deviations below you in intelligence something something

>"Is there any real science to BLACK up the idea?"

ftfy

>>8109230
Yeah because they have to answer stupid questions like this all day.

>inb4 another oxygen catastrophe

This shit is super exciting if it ever became commercially viable.

Just like solar panels but instead of electricity, it would produce storable fuels.

>>8109103
There's other approaches too, like e-diesel and the US Navy's work on synthetic gasoline.

>trying to boil water
it's literally the most retarded thing you could ever think of.

>>8109016
what do you mean?

The only microwave based weapon I know of is the Active Denial System.
It's a type of nonlethal weapon that never saw any combat use.

You aim it at people and it heats their water and fat.
It reaches /just/ deep enough into their skin to scald their nerves.
Which is extremely painful.
No long-term damage though.

>>8109018
Not that Anon, but it's a really inefficient way to tamper with water supplies.

if the earth was traveling at the speed of light, the light from the sun would never reach us

It's a matter of perspective.

>>8108825
would you say that its relative?

I'm studying CS and it seems most of my schoolmates are in CS because they like videogames or because they want to get into web development. It's kinda sad really.

>>8108723
CS grad student now, I wish I had majored in physics for my undergrad. Seems much easier to pick up CS concepts than the other way around.

>>8108723
Code monkeys make around 30-40k a year. That's better than average.

I hate to break it to you but most people who go to school are just looking to get jobs. Not everyone is going to be the next Elon Musk or Gates.

Or does it require shenanigans? I thought about different frequencies and shit.
But strictly mathematically, I don't think you can solve this

I don't understand what's supposed to happen
what does a process do if it recieves a pulse from the timer?

>>8108731
I am confident that the pulse must cause some process to start running.
I am not even fucking sure what's in the rules and what's not. It doesn't specify.
Has anyone encountered something similar? And what were the rules?

>>8108682
It's pretty straightforward. It's just the polar expression of z=-1. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_number

You can prove that you can express numbers like this with the Taylor series of sine and cosine.

>>8108682
All you need to understand this is the modulus-argument form and/or the cos+isin form. Usually these are learnt with De Moivre's formula.
It's pretty early on in any material regarding complex numbers.

Euler's identity is the Beatles of equations

Overrated as hell (not bad, just overrated) and hyped up by plebs that only know mathematics up to calculus

>>8108585
Who stands by that? You need to go outside man.

>>8108589
Are you saying I don't exist? I think 1+1 does make 1, are you saying this is lies:

it's true if you're doing boolean algebra

It's a field with very few openings every year and is completely over-saturated because every autist who thinks that black holes, universe and shit are awesome goes into it in his raging atheist phase.

>>8108580
It's a secondary major you pick up if you have the time.

>>8108580
In the usual God, good, okay, bad, terrible categories then actual physics is in the good category, and astronomy is in the okay category, bordering on just being bad.

But study what you want OP. People have made it work.

Got the Kaplan Premier prep book. Didn't bother with the book, because the CD it comes with is all you need. I took the practice tests on the CD, one or two full ones a day for the week before my test. The tests were the exact same layout as the GRE, so I was very familiar with the test. I feel like those practice tests really helped me do well.

>>8108420
Does practicing actually help though?

I'm looking at these and it reminds me of the SAT which I did shit on even though I still managed to get into a decent school

>>8108448
So I used the tests as a diagnostic as well, but I found practice helped a lot yes. The math part was easy for me (but I minored in math so IDK your thing) but the practice was most helpful for the reading parts, which can be kind of tricky. Also the scores I got on the Kaplan tests were very predictive of my real scores.

Thats why you dont divide by zero, fucks shit up

lines 1-4 make sense, but on the 5th line, it becomes nonsense.

unless it is a limit

bump, i've heard there's some scientific calendar that proposes 7x4 months.

lunar calendar.

no, you're basically tired all the time instead of being rested all the time

source: me, occured to me naturally for several months. Destroyed my life.

umm I don't sleep more than 4-5 hours, ever.
but I don't do it on purpose, that's just how I sleep I don't need more than 4-5 hours of sleep.
when I was younger and I found out that my friends were sleeping for like 10 or more hours, I tried to sleep longer on purpose,
I would wake up after my usual sleep time which is like 4 to 5 hours and would go back to sleep, but I would wake up every +/- 30 min because I wasn't tired. I just cant sleep more than that.

yes I am sleeping like that since I can remember being alive and no I'm never tired.

>>8107977
Fuck that, can one really sustain a sleep cycle of 8 hours? I've slept 12-16 hours a night since I was a child. Please send help.

The rectum stops contracting.

peristaltic waves

you don't cause it to go away, it goes away on its own, and comes back later.

Right on. Thanks for the info.

Obviously it's not just water. It's also nicotine. And other stuff.

We don't know if that's bad for your lungs yet. Err on the side of caution. Or die of stupidity, your choice.

>>8107479
unknown additives going directly into the tissue of your lungs.

>>8107479
Why would it be just water??
And probably yes. It can likely cause popcorn lung.
