In the video game of real life:
1. What is the framerate?
2. What is the resolution?
>>7964349
>framerate
30 fps. It is literally impossible for the human eye to perceive more than that.
I thought I read somewhere that (1) would be related to atomic vibrations, so like millions per second
>>7964364
Yes, but i was also thinking in and of itself
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?
>>7964347
>gorging yourself on large quantities of water

the glass is being raped
drink when you're thirsty
there's no trick to it
What is objectively the most repulsive sound a human can make?
That gurgling sound right before you throw up. If in space, I would disengage the air lock to avoid that sound and the ensuing vomit

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?
>>7963528
if you cant tell me why YOU want to study physics/math, you ought to not study it.
>>7963538
Heres my PS. I'm just not sure how mine stacks up against the average.
>>7963538
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.
>tfw 90% of my fellow CS majors dislike math
At least the rest did join me in taking a bunch of cool electives like category theory and real analysis
If you wanted to study algebraic geometry, you shouldn't have picked CS, my boy.
>>7962745
If people liked math, they'd be math or physics majors
>>7962745
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.
>expecting anything from /sci/ neckbeards
No.
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.
Are there equivalents of this meme for other /sci/ fields?

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?
>>7961874
>Is math real?
Unless it's complex.

Is this a physics question or is this a math question?
Let´s play a game, /sci
You must trace a path where
-You must return to the starting point
-You can only go through a segment ONCE
Let the game begin.

Are you stupid or something?
Just learned about graph theory?
>>7972660
going through all segments :3

What are the chances that if you were to die in space while moving, would your bones hit a planet with life capable of copying dna?
>>7968201
What do you mean bones? I don't think the body would decompose in space =/
very low
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.
Got a job interview at Intel.
Any of you work for them? Any tips?
ask them why at the Intel museum in silicon valley, you are not allowed to type AMD on one of their computers.
>>7972666
You're going to have to be more specific, what's the job description
>>7972666
prepare to get your ass handed to you on the whiteboard
but they'll still hire you anyways regardless of how much they murdered your ass if they are serious about evaluating you
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.
>>7972129
Measurments
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_light
not that hard,anon.
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.
>>7971737
could be viral....
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.
>>7971614
Cobalt-60 will do the trick.
>>7971689
>Cobalt-60
I said barren, not radioactive.
>>7971768
Well maybe you could have been more accurate, Maggie.
Is your name Flowers because that's all it takes to plow you, you whore ?
