30 fps. It is literally impossible for the human eye to perceive more than that.

How many cups of water should I drink a day? I thought it was 8 but I heard recently it should be up to 13 for men.

Also, is this glass half empty or half full?

Any britbongs studying physics or maths here?

I'm applying later this year, and it would be really helpful if i could read someone's personal statement (with identifying bits censored out obviously) as I write mine. Does anyone still have their personal statement saved?

this desu, it's not like you will be rejected because of the personal statement, unless you fuck up royally. Say why you like it, and what parts fascinate you the most that you want to research further. No bullshit like 'since I was born I had a fascination with... blabla'. It's literally that simple.

I feel you man. I'm studying CS//Multimedia (you can't minor in math if you took that) too.
There were two math classes teaching the very basics of linear algebra, number theory and analysis, and that's it. No more math after that.
The math tests i took in CS were almost calculative (almost no proofs), yet 50% of the people taking them didn't pass.
I mean whats so difficult about taking numers and plugging them in a formula // calculative concept and writing down the result.

We stumbled upon this, anyone can tell us if it could work, or give us any info in the guy who made it Hendricus G. Loos.

Plz we are kind of paranoid, and any info could help us.

Not gonna read that whole fuckin thing right now. I don't know what you mean by "work", but the theory (based on what I skimmed through) is fine. IIRC it's a known effect that strong magnetic fields can induce neural activity within people, even causing them to hear sounds without actual external auditorial stimulation.

First year math major here. I know everything all the way down to the integration vectors line, but then I also know what vector spaces, linear transformations, eigenvalues and eigenvectors are and I've done plenty of problems and proofs in linear algebra.

What is my level? Can I assume that I am smart enough to just intuitively get multivariable calc, triple integrals and everything between vectors and vector spaces in the graph?

I actually thought that linear algebra was harder than Calc 2, that is why I read a lin alg book first. Furthermore, all vector spaces are trivial, linear transformations were trivials and it only took me a few days of practice to actually get eigenvalues, vectors and spaces. Meanwhile I cannot even imagine what integration over more than one dimension even looks like.

What is even happening? Is math real?

Zero as you would burn up on re-entry to any planet with an atmosphere. Hard to imagine a life capable planet without an atmosphere. I could be wrong. Come at me, bro.

Why does the speed of light NOT change when the velocity of the object is changing, what is the scientific proof behind this. I know you can't go faster than the speed of light - in a vacuum. But what is the actual proof behind the speed of light not changing relative to the changing of the velocity of the object that is giving off the light.

This is probably a dumb question but do we know why light can't travel faster than c? What makes c a barrier?

Any medical students here that could help me with a problem?

So, I was diagnosed with a throat and chest infection by the doctor about 5 or 6 weeks ago. He gave me a course of antibiotics, and they didn't work. I then went to my own GP, and she gave me a different course of antibiotics. I finished the full course and it got rid of it for about 2 or 3 weeks. But now it's back again full force.

I'm coughing constantly, I'm spitting up green phlegm, and I'm using my inhaler way more than I usually do. My dad has just given me the full course of antibiotics his doctor gave him for something similar for some reason, so I've started taking them now.

Should the fact that it came back despite the fact that I've taken two courses of antibiotics be cause for concern, /sci/?

It doesn't work because it's viral.

>>7971756
It could be, but then why did it go away for roughly two weeks after the second course then? Surely if it was viral, they'd have no effect whatsoever.

Hey /sci/, I have a question regarding the possibility of turning farmland into a barren wasteland through the use of chemicals.

I have a large surface of land where vegetables are grown (mostly potatoes) and I need to make it unusable for farming. I've read about ancient conquerors "salting the land" in order to make it barren but can't find much information on whether this is scientifically accurate or a myth.

This would have to be done only on a precisely limited surface, so I can't use anything as inaccurate as an airplane to disperse any chemicals.

If salt would do the trick, I'd be happy to do it by hand.

Any advice and resources on the matter would be most welcome.

Well maybe you could have been more accurate, Maggie.
