Why do people refer to engineering majors as walking jokes and suckers, when we're always the smartest people in society? Pic very much related.

that picture does not prove your point at all though, it shows the top 4 caps at MD, professor, legal, and natural sciences. engineering is significantly lower
engineers really just apply the things that scientists discover, not really a respectable field imo but if thats what you enjoy then w/e

Which requires a higher IQ than discovering them.

How can I kill all of my gut flora without prescription antibiotics? Would a dilute bleach enema (like 15 or 20 parts water: 1 part household bleach) do it?

what science says or implies. You can scan the skies, send probes and expeditions, searching, analysing and exploring all you want. 10 years. 100 years. 1000 years will go by. Great fortunes will be made and lost. At the end of it all, It doesn't matter.
Earth is the only place where the force of life can exist in this otherwise vast and lifeless universe.

Okay I've asked some website about this and the answer wasn't enough for me.
I've got a friend who is willing to try his luck on some exams, one of which is 40 questions with 4 answers and only 1 right (.25 of getting it right and .75 of getting it wrong)
What are the odds of him getting it right ?
The only answer I had was someone who calculated the event of getting specifically 20/40

>>8064224
0.25^x where x is the number of answers he gets right by choosing completely randomly.
Can we /thread?
>>
>>8064255
No.
My question is about the sum of every event after 20/40, 20 included.
so 21,22,23,... until 40.
You didn't answer it. Just got me the possibility of answering 20 right, the events are supposed to happen at the same time,
Once you get me that with the explanation of which rule you followed, /thread it m8
.25^20 is only the possibility of doing 20/40
>>
>>8064224
>What are the odds of him getting it right ?
you mean at least 20/40?
21/40.

Will science invent immortality in our lifetimes?

Its possible but unlikely.

Immortality is impossible because something will eventually get you.
We will have the ability to live for a very long period of time, though. (thousands of years, etc.)

How long do you think it will take? Also, do you think we will be able to revert old age? I don't want to live thousands of years as a grandpa.

Two questions for the genetic engineers -
What is the most unethical thing you can do with CRISPR Cas9?
Is this tech as powerful as the "science" media is claiming it is?

heres food for thought
its hard to do unethical things
they take a lot of money
they take a lot of time
they take a lot of dedication
So unless there is huge monetary/military/power incentive behind a goal, it aint gonna happen
>>
>>8064039
My question is purely theoretical. I'm just curious what this tech is capable of.
>>
>>8064026
it is powerful, technically (and extremely simplified) you can edit genes, create diseases, destroy them

if the evolution is real, how come horses didn't evolve above needing horseshoes in the last 50 million years?
23 Posts / 5 Images

>>8064017
Because you don't understand what evolution is.

No one knows. It's a mystery why horses never adapted to cobblestones 50 million years ago. You won't hear biologists taking about it though because the cobblestone industry pays them off, because they don't want people to know cobblestones occur naturally.

>>8064017
Have thy been forced to walk on paved roads for 50 million years? Are horses 50 million years old?

He seems smart but everyone should stop putting so much pressure on him and let him think for himself. If I was that age and had so many people talking about me, I would have tried to run away a long time ago. Futurama, monkey episode, Mars university, etc.

Why do many phenomenon follow the Normal law distribution in nature ?
I would intuitively expect the distribution in red to be more prevalent.
How do you explain the green phenomenon ?

Not intuitive.
I'm asking about an explanation as to why it goes against intuition and you answer a meme ?
>>
>>8063864
Because the world doesn't have harsh cutoffs like in red. Normal has the rapid decline to infinity which makes it more "realistic"

what the fuck, /sci/? are asians the only people doing shit in HS in USA? I'm from Europe and I was at some chemistry olympiads in my time and today someone posted this in a "study" group:
http://www.acs.org/content/dam/acsorg/education/students/highschool/olympiad/process/competitions/2016-usnco-top-152.pdf
WHAT THE FUCK
you can barely spot a non-asian name in that list. I'm not racist or anything, but I just can't understand how this is possible in a country where asians are a minority. Yes, I expected to find many asians names, but not 90%+
what the hell is wrong with your system that only asians are attracted to STEM?
