Gentlemen, I have a question.
Does medicine count as a science, and if it is how pure do you believe it to be?
If you are in the field, what is the awesomest thing you guys have learned about/seen?

Science implies that you do, well science.
Doctors don't do science, they just look up what their patient has on google or whatever and prescribe medicine.
They're not looking for a truth using the scientific method, they have something better to do.

>>7963116
why not?
have you ever heard of medical researches, labor tests, medical university?
+medicine is part of the nature
Shamanism, healing, etc is not science.

No. It looks really tedious, I don't want to do it.

Is there a nuclear chain reaction always happening in the Earth's core? Or is it just hot because of all the friction and pressure from gravity?
Why was the planet so much more volcanic in the past / why is it cooling off with time? Will it eventually reach a state of having no more volcanism or plate tectonics?
Could the core ever become "cold?"

Yes

Energy goes from hot to cold, high to low energy states.
>Will it eventually reach a state of having no more volcanism or plate tectonics? Could the core ever become "cold?"
Tidal forces from the moon add energy to the core, helping to keep it molten. Eventually, it will cool off though.
>>
It's hot for two reasons:
1) It started out hot and hasn't cooled down yet.
2) There is a lot of radioactive material in the core.
Both slowly decrease with time.
>>
About half of the heat coming from the earth's core is the product of the fission of heavy elements as they split into lighter ones. The rest of it comes from friction and pressure.
Not sure how much this ratio has changed since the earth was formed

What you described is compulsion. Addiction is chemical dependence.

Any Biochem double majors here? I want to go into Neuroscience and so I'm heavily considering a Biochem + Psychology double major.
I think that a biological science + social science combo would be nice because I could actually get a good job and be prepared for medical school with Biochem, but then also have a better understanding of the mind and be a bit more socially well-rounded with Psych.
Other than Psychology I'm not sure. I kind of want to minor in Economics because I've been told that's an all-around good thing to have an understanding in. But in terms of a full-blown other major, I can't exactly decide and might just do biochem independently to get done in four years.
What have you guys done, or would do?

VR is finally here. I never thought it would be but it happened.
What will be the next "future technology" to finally arrive (as in, a polished worthwhile consumer product rather than just a stunt/demo)
Personal humanoid home robots? Personal VTOL? A lab on Mars? An underwater colony? Cities in Antarctica? Consumer gene editing?

Radians. Degrees is just base 60 autism and should only be kept in seconds.

Radians because series expansions.

>>7964321
I use degrees when constructing frames and what not because the numbers are easier and I use radians when analyzing rotational motion because it makes the calculus easier.

What return percentage per year would this be?
The way I know of:
153,000,000 subtract 13,600=152,986,400. 152,986,400 divided by 13,600=11,249. 11,249*100=1,124,900.
1,124,900 divided by 8=140,612.5% per year.
Right or wrong?
If right, why do so many people on various sites calculate it as 220% annually? Which is right? How could someone come up with 220%?

Also, why does 13,600 times 2.20 for eight years come out to 7,463,118 on a calculator?

>>7963540
I would do it:
153000000-13600=152986400
152986400/13600=11249
(1+p)^8=11249
(1+p)=3.209
p=2.209
which is approx. 220%

OP had a legitimate question and I answered him.
Tried to calculate this and got a result ten times higher, 62.8 meters.
Am I retarded or is Randall really a hack fraud?
