What drugs should I take if I want to be completely emotionless and apathetic?

>>7845334
try heroin. I hear it works great for the apathetic side of thing

>IV or bust!
>>
Alcohol, xanax etc anxiolytics
>>
why would you want to be apathetic? you lose motivation to do anything or to interact with anyone

your best chocie for that is anti-psychotics like seroquel. they're well known for zombifying people as a side effect

Celsius and Kelvin are the same scale, Celsius is just more appropriate to humans.

Fahrenheit is american and I'm not quite sure the significance, plus that picture is fucking retarded and doesn't make any sense

I'm really curious about nuclear fusion. If by tomorrow, the US decided to dump 100 billion into fusion research, could we expect significant progress within the next 10 years? Or how about 200 billion? With all these promises you read about in the media about fusion, shouldn't there be a huge global movement to make fusion a thing? I mean, shouldn't it be the #1 priority above ALL else?

Unlike in video games, generally you can't solve scientific problems just by throwing money at them. You have to come up with an experiment first, and then that costs whatever it costs, and it may or may or may not work. You could allot $100 billion for fusion research, but we would have nothing to spend it on because we don't know HOW to make it work, or if it's even possible at all.

Yeah, good luck with that. Before we ever even dream of progress, we must fund analytical number theorists.

Today I just realised something. For a dimension to truly be a dimension it needs to be perpendicular to all other dimensions. E.g. In 2 dimensions the x coordinate system is perpendicular to the y dimension. In 3 dimensions the z axis is perpendicular to both the x and y axis. Therefore it's not possible to have a system with dimensions greater than 3 because if you add another there's no way for it to be perpendicular to all three other axises. Now where is my Nobel award?

It can be perpendicular with a dimension greater than 3 based on the scalar product you defined.
If P and Q are vectors of a n-dimensional space :

P _|_ Q \equiv <P,Q> = 0 \equiv (P,Q) = Arcos<P,Q>/(Norm(Q)*Norm(P)) = Pi/2

I meant dot product.

It's possible that the people who live down there have a shield that renders them invisible to that type of detection.
Science is about seeing, not data, and until someone drills down there and SEES what it is, NOTHING is known.

Where does used energy go? If it doesn't go anywhere, and still exists after being used, shouldn't infinite energy exist?
15 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
well you see, Billy, the there is a very important distinction between usable work and heat. The laws of thermodynamics dictate that the latter will comprise more and more of the energy in the universe until no usable energy is left, and no work can ever be done. This is called the heat death of the universe.

Energy isn't "used", it is transformed into a different form. The amount of energy in the universe is constant.

Can anyone recommend textbooks/offer advice on higher dimensional integrals? ( d>3)

I've no luck googling/skimming through other books.

>>
>>7844464
Anon I would give up your search.

Only a few of the most brilliant professionals in the world have ever been able to evaluate a triple integral.

No one has ever solved a quadruple integral. In higher dimensions we can't even begin to formulate how one might approach a beginning of a solution.
>>
>>7844464
Look up "vector calculus" and "multivariate calculus".

>>7844470
Engineer here with a question (inb4elitistmathfags), what's the difference between the triple integrals that I've evaluated (for classes like vector calculus and electromagnetic theory) and the triple integrals you're talking about?

How else do you find the volume of an irregular three-dimensional shape?

What are the most well thought out theories of "why" this universe exists?

Obviously this question falls more to the realm of philosophy than science, but I feel that scientific minds are perhaps the only ones capable of tackling it, even if not through science.

I've been reading John Wheeler's Beyond the Blackhole, and also Roger Penrose's fanastic lecture here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbtxndUJHZI.
