>why does everyone hate DeGrasse?
Because he's a stoner, and the rest of /sci/ had to quit smoking weed to make it through college.

speak for yourself

Because he's a meme scientist. He's a stamp collector who has memorized a bunch of facts and he regurgitates them in a bite-sized form for the general public to consume. He hasn't contributed anything to the field of astrophysics in the way of research or discovery. He was dishonest in his correspondence with Carl Sagan and has been Brian Williams-esque in over-representing their relationship. To his credit, he's well-spoken and passionate about all things related to space. That counts for something.

Interesting that the Russians are winning. Anyone want to give a reason as to why?

Autocracies are pretty efficient, because the populations' wealth is redirected toward goals without long discussion processes like those of parliaments and voting.

We've already seen the Big Bang

I've seen this image so many times can someone explain it to me? I always visualized the Big Bang as a single point?

/sci/ does realise that this is a power source for a perpetual motion machine, right? I thought someone at least would try and refute it.

Probably something to do with thermodynamics or quantum mechanics or the EM spectrum
one of those seciency things, you know?

>>7922609
You can't double the frequency without actually interacting with the material. The total entropy still rises.
I assume that's what you're suggesting.

Maybe with a ridiculously strong electric field the vacuum itself would become non-linear, but that's a completely different beast.

>>7921906
how come the plane didn't get hit by an EMP burst?

Time exists, the concept of ticking seconds in just a construct
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime#Spacetime_intervals_in_flat_space

>>7918505
Just remember that time is a result of causality not the other way around

>>7918515
Units of time are defined as seconds.
Further, the entire phenomenon is 'observed' from a reference frame.

well ? >:o

>>7928828
yeah but it doesn't mean you proved they exist or anything

>>7928828
Ya. No one can actually say alien life is impossible and be able to prove it. In fact that'd be a much more difficult thing to prove than proving aliens do exist.

You do realize that's a fucking stick insect?

because the area of a circle of radius 1 is π

:^)

Just set it as an axiom. Any other response would move the goalpost.

Becouse, pic related. Use transformation [math]x=r \cos(\theta) \wedge y=r \sin(\theta) [/math]

You could study science to discover what made Einstein's brain special and replicate it in other humans, like yourself.

Einstein was a Jew who worked for the patent office

>>7926997
Bad way of looking at it ~100% of people won't be Einstein, but then Einstein was only able to be Einstein because of Maxwell, who was only able to be Maxwell because of Faraday... The point is the massive paradigm shifts are very rare and when they happen they're built on a foundation of other, solid, research. You're unlikely to be the next Einstein, but you very well might help the next Einstein have his idea, at some point down the line.

Personally I just want a larger paycheck, security, and job that isn't mind numbingly boring.

without some kind of telekinesis field this would definitely violate fund theor of thermodynamics

>>7926641
Not really that many to be honest, telekinesis is possible with strong enough em forces

Is arminposting the new gorillaposting? Stop trying to force these memes.

If x=seconds
Just do (x/60) for minutes and (x%60) for remainder seconds.

>>7926613
you realize 61 seconds is just 00:61 right?

OP I type in 00:99 all the time just to save button presses. I know that it's the same as 01:39. Why can't you comprehend this?

thats probably because he didnt discover it, and it was already labeled, he just wanted to sell drugs. hysteria has probably had 5 different names in the last century itself

*invented

I won't make your homework, faggot.

I'm sorry OP, but I only program in assembly via smoke signals, I can't help you there

CS is unfortunately a meme because of people like OP
