Are you too much of a brainlet to use your own fucking common sense to figure out which results of psychology are trustworthy and which are questionable? Do you seriously need the science section of a meme forum to tell you whether we approve of it?

>>8041698
>brainlet

Memeposter, stop posting in memes.

>>8041692
psychology pretends to be a science
philosophy isnt a science and doesnt have any pretensions of being a science

>>8041686
Do you think that website would just lie? It's true.

yes it might be triggering small earth quakes
aka smaller than you can feel

Anti-fracking sentiment is by retarded liberals who have no clue about economics

>>8041686
and if anything should be done in areas where a large quake is overdue and could critically hit for massive damage, to release the stress.

Undergrads in philosophy fundamentaly missundertand science and viceversa.

The "philosotards" on /sci/ are just pseudo-intellectual math or CS freshmen who want to believe they are the deepest thinkers for spouting preschool platitudes along the lines of "cannot know nuffin".

>>8041695
The worst thing is, I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case.

>>8041667
Probably, if you're going fast enough

>>8041720
i thought the mechanics of a wormhole makes velocity irrelvent, isnt it space/time that is moving, not the object, for the most part?

>>8041729

Spacetime doesn't move, it's just different from place to place. And yes, it doesn't matter even if you were able to exceed the speed of light; the geodesics of spacetime beyond the event horizon all send you only one way -- towards the singularity.

You mean outdated Freudian shit, about 80% of which has been debunked? Why would you want to study a discipline like that?

I think there are still some therapists that use it, but I'd never go to one. Why wouldn't you study a therapeutic discipline that at least has some evidence-based practice involved, like CBT?

>>8041584
What if I just really like Jung and want a career in it?

>>8041550

The literal couch-thing with the associated different methodology (I guess) is the stuff of mid-20th century. People used to talk about it in the Saturday Evening Post, and movies of the period; along with nukes and the space race, it was the pop-sci of the day. IIRC Woody Allen went in for Freud-tier stuff regularly, and the culture has mostly moved on.

But not completely. Remember that Woody Allen is known for living in New York. In fact, since this form of "analysis" is old, IIRC there's an active couch-group of (old people? Old-money people?) people in and around NYC who have their heads shrunk the old-fashioned way, regularly. I heard about it on the radio once.

So move to New York, I guess, and compete with all the other Jew shrinks who have obtained what Mel Brooks in High Anxiety referred to as, "a nice living."

yes.

>>8041469
this is the best thread on /sci/ today .

>>8041469
Pretty good really. Viaducts built by Romans 2000+ years ago are still standing.

I would be much more concerned with buildings from the 1970's.

Woah

Also before anybody tells me to take this to /pol/, you know damn well what their circlejerk response would be. Thought I'd have more luck here.

>>8041197
>This is a social sciences thread.
drop'd

>>8041202
>you know damn well what their circlejerk response would be
You're not in luck anon. Most /sci/ people here have nothing to do with social sciences (including me). The rest are /pol/ and /r9k/ lurkers who try to validate their views through science no matter how delusional or biased. I'll give you one guess as to which threads a scientifically illiterate polack is going to reply in, either the one that has to do with actual natural science, or the one that he can easily turn into a woman-hating circlejerk.

I sincerely hope this thread turns into something more legit than a circlejerk, but don't keep your hopes up. You'll probably have better luck discussing social science in /his/.

build well!

>Certain 1's and 0's are illegal

yes they are

>>8040843
They're smaller than the wavelength of visible light so they have no colour

>>8040861
In biology class we used microscopes to zoom in on the protons and shti but the sampls we were given were dyes and that is bullshit. I want to see their real color, even if it is harder to see! Are they like 1940 color?

>>8040882
microscopes can't zoom in on protons.

Deez nuts, ayy

Not at my school. Questions are proof based and if you fuck up you get 0 credit. Some exams are 4 questions so missing one question is an automatic 75

There is a lot of tests and there is a easy way to grade
Bubble sheets

>>8040687
>teacher: should I make a 5 question or 10 question exam?
>dumbfucks: umm i think 5 is less than 10 so easier. 5 plz lol :B
>exam is twice as hard as it would have been

I swear, this happened in every 100 level math class. At least by the 200 level those jackasses had flunked out and the ones who were left knew better.

>>8040609
he's a brainlet that probably faked his IQ test lol

you are one as well because you fell for his trick

>>8040609
There's nothing wrong with existing outside of mainstream academia. Not everybody wants to be a researcher.

However, not only is teaching yourself harder than having help to learn things, if someone is so passionate about research, why wouldn't they choose to get paid to do research all day instead of doing it for a couple hours after they get home from a job? There's very few autodidacts with frontier-levels of skill for those reasons.

Langan gets no support because his writing is nonsense and nobody cares.

Being smarter than other people doesn't mean shit, the modern state of knowledge is the product of the lifelong work of probably hundreds of thousands of people.

Thinking you're better than all of them put together and you don't need to be taught is ridiculous egotism.

>>8040624
why do you think he faked his IQ test?

just think that there are around 2 standard deviations between a regular person and a full blown drooling retard

and there are about 7 standard deviations between langan and a regular person

there are 3 standard deviations between lagan and a typical nobel-tier genius

he should have people begging at his feet to work on select issues of humankind

this is all very confusing. he has the brainpower to advance humanity leaps and bounds, eg newton or da vinci, but he isnt

or can we just not comprehend him?

>Why are gravitational waves work as oscillating waves and not a constant ?
Because they were generated by 2 black holes spiraling into each other

>What type of energy source are these waves originating from ?
2 Black holes

>Why isn't gravity just a static force ?
It is limited by the speed of causality like everything else, and the points of origin were moving

>Whats the speed of gravitational waves ?
C

>Are they a type of EM force ?
No

>Is there a way to visualize these waves ?
Ripples in a pond of water

>Is there a way to cancel out or block these waves ?
No

>>8040587
my questions we not about the picture, it was more about the nature of Gwaves. can you answer again without relating to the black holes ?

>>8040587
if gravitational waves move at C then the solar system wouldnt work

I think you need to be hooked up on this shit to become such a wreck. Also it should be easily detectable

As I understand it, Krokodil is a contaminated opiate. The poorly executed isolation leads to necrosis when the drug is injected.

>WHAT IF SOMEONE SHOOTS IT IN THE AIR OR SOMETHING?
Nothing.
Someone sprays you in the face with a mixture of codeine/hydrocodeine/hydromorphone, etc and
organic solvents and nothing fucking happens.

Can you aerosol a lethal dose of opiates?
Yes. Fentanyl or something like could be given in fatal amounts.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_theater_hostage_crisis
But that is death via respiratory depression, not necrosis.

>TL,DR mainline hexanes and report back

>>8040495
But it still gets into your bloodstream. Cummulative effects of a long term exposure would surely result in a necrosis wouldn't it ?
