Anyone proeficient with fluid dynamics here? Is it possible to determine the diameter of the urethra, based on the speed at which urine is expelled? From this data, can we obtain a rought estimate on girth as well as length of a penis? I was thinking of relating the sound of the urination to force and then size of a penis. Any help in this endeavor will be appreciated.

Idk man. You might have to find a general solution to the Navier-Stokes to figure that out.

You'll need to know if there's any head loss and if any energy is going into shaft work.

>Is it possible to determine the diameter of the urethra, based on the speed at which urine is expelled?

No, because the mass flow rate of urine is something in your control. If you use your pelvic muscles you can pee harder and if you completely relax, the pee will be weak. And because this value is not constant and can vary from person to person, you won't get any good estimates.

Is there anyone here studying science in their own time whilst working a job?

How do you ensure you are getting a thorough education on such a limited time schedule?

I work 8.5 hour days 6 days per-week. I'm trying to give myself an introduction to Chemistry but I feel like I am getting a sub-par education through reading text books at home. It is tough to follow a real curriculum.

Does anybody feel they are doing this effectively and with success?

Why is the observable universe a sphere with us at the center?

In theory wouldn't that mean light(photons) is coming towards us from all directions? Pic related
60 posts and 4 images submitted.
>>
>>7810333
Because we can see (roughly) the same distance in every direction
so it defines a sphere centered at where we observe from (here)

and yes, that does mean light's coming at us from every direction, but that's nothing particularly dazzling

if you look around you in space there's always going to be stars on all sides of you unless you were at the very edge of the universe for some reason

Now what about the microwave radiation background wouldn't that make it look closer to a come due to the fact that we are looking at a single point of origin for said radiation?

So I'm on book ten in Euclid's Elements.

On a third apotome, would the rectangles contained by the rational line set out and the annex/whole really be medial, considering the rational lines are not commensurable in square?
2 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
So basically this question is rather esoteric, considering it IS a very unused, error-ridden portion of the Elements, however I'm simply wondering if it is REQUIRED for non-square medial areas to have sides commensurable in square only.

I'd like to get your opinion on what we are going to perfect in 3D printing in 20 years.

Not sure where to ask, /sci/inteists, but is there any way to harness energy from a change in altitude?

E.g. if a helicopter goes up to an altitude of 2000 feet and then down again and repeats, is there any way to harness some sort of energy, by placing some sort of contraption in it?

>>7810323
easy, just put a system of ropes and pulleys on it that drives a generator.
>>
>>7810323
Yeah but you would have to harness more energy than you are consuming to generate said energy.
>>
>>7810323

Go up, you're putting energy in.

Descend, you are releasing the energy you put in.

I have one of these things and occasionally use it to froth up some milk for my morning coffee. I've noticed that only the coldest of milk will actually whip; if I leave the container out, the closer to room temp the milk gets, the less likely it is to hold a froth.

Why?

Hi sci.

I was supposed to write a 1 - 2 page paper on aromatic electrophilic substitution. I totally forgot to write it, since I am a faggy retard. Now I really need some help, I know that the questions for the paper are not hard, but I am still lost.

1. I am supposed to explain, in words only, what happens when 4-Hydroxytoulen transforms into BHT for both reaction 1 and 2. So basically I need to explain the differences in each reaction.

2. The I just need to state which of the two methods are the most environment-friendly.

This is what I do understand. In reaction 1, the Isobutane is not that great of an electrophile (and you need a really strong electrophile substitute a Hydrogen in a Benzene ring). So the H2SO4 makes the Isobutane into a good electrophile. Right?

I've never really browsed /sci/ before, but I thought I'd ask a question here. I'm a humanities-inclined person who much prefers art, literature, history, etc. to STEM, but my grandma got me pic related for Christmas because she knew I liked the Yale Courses series, though the ones I liked were usually for literature. She remembered that I had recently displayed an interest, though a very superficial one, in physics and relativity, so she decided to get me this book. I have no plans to go into any science-type career, but something about me wants to go through this book just as a sort of a personal project, as a way of challenging myself. (There's far more math than there was in this online class on relativity that I had taken for fun a while ago. I'm realizing that it was pretty dumbed-down.)

Would you say there's "something to be gotten out of" doing science and math on a personal level, even if one has no desire to apply it to their career? What do you get out of science and math, whatever particular fields you may like? (Would you personally still want to learn about science/math if it wasn't just career-related?I just feel like trying a new subject for a change, though wondering whether or not it'll be a waste of time.

Also, is there another book on physics/relativity that you recommend? And what are some good ways of learning the math that physics requires? (This book goes way past the math that I learned in high school.)

Physics is all about applying existing knowledge (including mathematics) to explore and gain new knowledge. Appreciating and understanding interrelationships and the cause and effects are important.

My research field imploded but I got a good job sidelining in quality assurance auditing. Applying methodologies learned in Physics enabled me to do a measurable better job than my other colleagues.

You get to know how the Universe works, and it works in incredibly beautiful and strange ways, from the elementary particle physics up to living organisms. It's so much better than art or literature - remember that works of humans, like art, are constrained by our mind and creativity. Nature isn't constrained in this way, and the results are unimaginably better than anything created by a human.
>>
>>7808643
I study math because it's fun. No other real reason.

I don't really buy into all that pretentious crap about how math is beautiful or how you get to see into the true framework of the universe.

It's just fun to learn how things work, to build theories and to solve hard problems.

That's probably a good book. Shankar is a great writer.
Assuming you know high school algebra and trigonometry all you should need to get most of introductory physics down is one-variable calculus.

Take a look at volume 1 of Courant if you want it for physics. People always talk about how he has stronger applications to physics than most calculus texts.

If you could have any life what would it be? I want to know how my fellow /sci/entists would like to live and study. Personally I'd like to live on a large spacecraft with an AI companion, huge and well equipped labs and a library. I'd travel among space marveling at the universe and while traveling between locations, research build cool shit.
