How does anything stay in orbit for millions of years with all the stuff (asteroids and such) hitting it and slowing its movement down.

It does deter the orbit a bit but not too significantly.
It's true that minor fluctuations accumulate and the effects grow exponentially.
Any chemistry majors here?

We know its never going to happen and will go to Mars anyway with shitty degenerate chemical rockets.

In the standard axiomatic system in which the decimal expansion is formalized, this is a theorem, yes.

x = 0.999...
10x = 9.999...
10x-x = 9x = 9
x = 9/9

Why do we care about categories that behave "like" the category of sets, or abstracting set-theoretic properties to the language of category theory?

so we can have axiomatic systems as objects, and study what happens to those objects when you use them as foundations of mathematics

Share small, cool mathematical proofs:
Proof that [math]2^{\frac{1}{n}}[/math] is irrational for all [math]n > 2[/math]:
Suppose [math]z^{n} = 2[/math] where [math]z[/math] is a rational number.
[math](\frac{p}{q})^{n} = 2[/math]
[math]\frac{p^{n}}{q^{n}} = 1 + 1[/math]
[math]p^{n} = q^{n} + q^{n}[/math]
This is a contradiction of Fermat's Last Theorem, therefore [math]z[/math] must be irrational. QED.

Your latex isn't displaying for me but I think you said sqrt(i)=-1.

Hey /sci/, I'm a student finishing secondary school. I'm currently on track to do a degree in electronic engineering, but I'm getting increasingly worried about climate change so I want to ask you some questions as you're the most knowledgable
>does the Paris accord actually mean anything? I've heard the agreement was a bit weak, but does it mean that in future years there might be stronger resolutions that could lead to the actual solution?
>which degree would best position me to be able to help with climate change?
>is it even possible to help with climate change without being a world leader?
>are there enough people doing something about climate change? I.e could I afford to just do my EE degree and relax about global warming cos theres already a large talent pool working on global warming?

Don't be, it's not going to be pleasant bit it's not going to be catastrophically bad. And before it gets that bad it'd imagine that there'll be some large scale Geoengineering projects.

Is who wants to be a millionaire just a game of luck?
I mean, there's 33.34% chance of being right unless the person happens to know the right answer, and lifelines can only get you so far into the game.
Let's say there are 15 questions with 4 choices each. Let's also say there are 3 lifelines: call-a-friend, 50-50, and ask-the-audience.
For each of the 15 questions, there is only 1 correct answer, and 3 incorrect answers, so immediately your chances are 1/3 = 33.34%. You can use each lifeline once. Using phone-a-friend, let's say gives you a 95% chance the person you call is correct. So 1 question is 95%. Similarly, we can say ask-the-audience gives you a 95% chance. Finally, 50-50 will remove 2 wrong answers, so you have 1 right answer and 1 wrong answer, so you basically know the answer. To recap:
Question 1: 33.34%
Question 2: 33.34%
Question 3: 33.34%
Question 4: 95% <--- ask-the-audience
Question 5: 33.34%
Question 6: 33.34%
Question 7: 33.34%
Question 8: 33.34%
Question 9: 95% <--- phone-a-friend
Question 10: 33.34%
Question 11: 33.34%
Question 12: 33.34%
Question 13: 33.34%
Question 14: 33.34%
Question 15: 100% <--- 50-50
Total: 690.08%
Divided by 15 questions = 46.00%
So basically, it's more a less a game of chance, but more than half the people on the show will lose, so it's not very fair. That show is making tons of money off of people.

If there's only one question, there are four possible answers, and one of them is correct. Chances of guessing the correct one = 25%.
If there are two questions, there are eight possible answers, and two correct answers. Chances of guessing them both: 25%
If there are 15 questions, there are 60 possible answers, and 15 correct ones. Chances of guessing all 15: 25%.

No, because it would get almost instantly pwned before someone could notice it.
So I'm a pretty dumb guy. I have trouble learning anything deep like math, programming, physics, chemistry, etc. I get confused really easily. Anyways since I have nothing to lose I was thinking about slamming and hitting my head (the side of the brain that deals with logic, forget which side it is) either against a wall or just using a hammer. Not enough to kill me but just to maybe shake things up a bit and see if a miracle happens. Maybe I will turn into some border line genius, maybe not. That's not really my goal. I just want to be smarter. I read an article about a guy who fell on his head and became really good at mathematics and design patterns after his accident. What do you guys think?

Good luck, lad. Try not to kill yourself. Although, if you decide to follow through with this decision, please live stream it for us to watch. Maybe even keep a journal and dump it several months. Good luck, try not to die, and if you follow through, please try to show as much as possible to us.

Amazing.
In university engineering programs across the US, when a girl gets 70 percent correct on a test and a boy gets90 percent correct, both are given B's.

If diversity is given to a girl who recieved 70% multicultralism and a guy gets 90% multicultralism, free healthcare is given to the girl solely for being a girl because equality and the guy is readjusted to be an evil CAPITALIST so that the girl can be more progressed.
