Be born in may, and live in a state which doesn't penalize teachers for shit students, or a state in which teachers aren't allowed to recommend students take drugs.

If we can detect light coming from all directions going back the exact same amount of time -however many billion years.
Then how can we possibly assume the universe is only as big as we can see.
The odds of us being exactly in the centre are 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Therefore why havent we accepted the universe extends beyond what we can see?

Tell me which scientific statement says that ?
>>
>>8013096
i never hear people talking about how it probably extends a ridiculous distance past what we can see.
At this point i feel we can definitely say it is bigger than what we can see.

>>8013096
reddit is always going on about the universe being that big and all these facts and stories how big the observable universe is.

hey /sci/,
can someone help me with discrete Fourier transform?
i have a data set. It is produced by skin conductance sensor readings. A Java program periodically samples the signal produced by the sensor through a microcontroller.
The Java program stores the data in a 1D array. But I suspect the sensor data has a lot of noise in it.
Will finding the DFT (to convert the data from time to frequency domain) help me to isolate the signal among the noise? Like, just calculate the DFT for all the data and then plot the power spectrum? Will that show me the harmonic for which the data has the most "power" (whatever that means), presumably corresponding to the signal I'm looking for from all the noise?
Is that how DFT works?
Is this how anything works?
thanks

Why don't you just do it and see what happens? Do you actually know which frequency you're expecting the desirable portion of the signal to show up at?
>>
>>8013026
unfortunately, i don't know what I should be looking for. but I figure this might be better than nothing for my project.
i guess i'll try it.
>>
>>8013036
Yeah, just plot it and see what happens. Hopefully you can narrow down the signal to a range of frequencies, and hopefully that range of frequencies is nicely separated from the power spectrum of the noise (probably not). Then you can just do something simple like a high/low/band pass filter. If that doesn't work, you can always just try a sliding average/freq-domain sinc filter.

Yes, this is a food thread, this global problem is directly caused by scientists and psychologists - yet you all refuse to take responsibility - indeed you laugh as millions get sick or die.
70 years ago food scientists advised governments that eating fat caused obesity. They ignored sugar and conspired to discredit anyone who suggested carbohydrates and sugar were to blame.
This dismissive attitude extended into psychology and psychiatry. Anorexia is a recognized mental condition whereas 'obesity' is not.
We the general public are the victims of failed science. A hierarchical university grading system and institutional inertia at the highest levels. And not least of all, failures of scientific rigor. We need good public health, what are you doing about it and when will obesity be a mental illness?

The only way you can get fat is if you eat more calories than you burn.
The solution then is simple: stop eating so much you fat fuck.

It's a space that is "complete" in the sense that every sequence of points that gets "closer" to each other at the sequence goes on converges to some point in the space. This is useful because you can talk about points in this space by constructing a sequence that converges to that point.

Hey, /sci/, I need a function that allows me to do exponentiations.
a^b
I already did it, but it only works raising any base with ONLY whole numbers. I need to operate bases with real numbers.
Here's the code I did for only whole numbers at the exponent:
double pow(double b,double e){
double x=b;
for(e;e>1;e--) {
x*=b;
}
return x;
}
Sorry about my english.

Yes but its becoming saturated with absolute mongoloids because they recognize that it's still relevant.

True. I wish the media didnt make a big deal when there is a need for careers. Makes shit too oversaturated
>>
>>8012482
My advice to you is that if you're REALLY into it, like REALLY, go into it. Your passion will probably lead to you being able to being better at it than the plebs who go into it for social capital or money. It's still very relevant with tons of interesting specializations.

>Since measurements began in 1899 global phytoplankton levels have declined, on average, by 59% and continue to decline by roughly 1% every year - and the rate of yearly decline is increasing
>The decline is worst in high-latitude oceans (>60 latitude) where rates of decline are 78-80% of pre-industrial phytoplankton levels
>The study generated debate among scientists and led to several communications and criticisms, also published in Nature.[26][27][27][28] In a 2014 follow-up study, the authors used a larger database of measurements and revised their analysis methods to account for several of the published criticisms, but ultimately reached similar conclusions to the original Nature study.[29]

time passes at a stable rate of 1s/s for everyone. if we could process information faster then we would make faster decisions. if you want to say time moving at a different "speed" you need a temporal dimension external to "our" "time"
>>
faster. like flies make those computations much faster due to their shorter circuits and less complex computations, so they're said to experience time 40 times slower than us humans. So whenever a fly sees you striking, it sees you very slow motion and has a lot of time to think it through.
