Tesla? Are you serious? What the hell did he ever do?
inb4 he had spooky death rays but destroyed them for the good of mankind
Climate scientist: I have cancer and my dying wish is for you to believe in global warming

AGW skeptics: We're sorry you have cancer but that's not how science works.

Climate change cultists: U R MOKKING DYING SCIENTIST CLIMAT E CHNAGE DENYERS!!!!!

This is the sort of cheap tactics I would expect from creationists. It's just the climate change's cultists version of "believing in evilution makes baby Jesus cries". Just remember, someday, Ken Hovind will die. And while he's on his deathbed, will you hear his pleads to believe the universe is only 6000 years old?
Pic: Actual failed climate predictions for those that think comparisons between creationism and climate change "science" is unfair.

Climate change is up there with being scared of DDT and secondhand smoke. It's not supported science, it's just alarmism.
who the fuck even cares about clim8 change. climate changes all the time. yesterday it was raining, now its windy and clear. see ? no problem at all.
climate changes, it's what it does. stop getting batshit scared of everything all the time cuckbird
Oh I love these threads. Lets give governments trillions of dollars in taxes which they aren't really accountable for. If you care about the environment support causes that actually produce results, I would throw money at an organization that was actively cleaning up things like the great pacific garbage patch. Carbon credits are a ponzi scheme and will never save this planet.
Why do Asians have small eyes compared to the rest of the world? What's the evolutionary reason behind no shift in their phenotype?
There was more than one human prototype but all can interbreed.
God made them that way.

TVs emit a lot of harmful radiation, smaller eyes let them watch anime all day without getting eye cancer. This is especially helpful with shows that are extremely carcinogenic, such as haremshit or shonenshit.
I finished integration by parts, u-substitution and other equivalent calculus tasks in high-school.
However I believe I need to practice problem solving with these techniques. Any good resources on that? Like physics problems etc ALL involving pure calculus
irodov mechanics
enjoy crying yourself to sleep tonight
Classical mechanics
Electrodynamics
Statistics
I've never bothered practicing those integration techniques beyond basic familiarity. Sure, I know about trig substitutions and partial integration and partial fractions and shit, but whenever a complicated integral comes up I just put it into Mathematica. What's the point in spending pages doing tiring computations (while risking to make some sign error somewhere or whatnot)?
What's the best book to learn about algorithms?

What would happen if I went into a parallel universe, found a hotter female version of myself, and then I get her pregnant?
Put it this way, I wouldn't fancy the offspring's chances.
>>7807437
About the same as getting your fraternal twin sister pregnant, somewhat worse.

How do I raise my IQ 10+ points?
>>7807205
Learn yourself a musical instrument.
>>7807205
Practice taking IQ tests over and over until you get better at taking them.
>>7807214
this desu i started my bacheror's on IQ test engineering and i'm scoring 160 atm.
Guys! I might actually finally learn Calculus from my parent's basement.
lmao what a sadcase
>>7807067
I'm picturing the girl on the cover in a tentacle rape situation asking you to calculate the volume of the rape-demons many pulsating, probing tentacles.
I still don't think that'd make calculus fun.
>>7807067
I just finished differential equations and vector calculus however, I'm definitely giving this a read.
What programs do you guys use to draw simple diagrams like pic related? I don't need something too complex, but it has to be able to label things like angles. TikZ doesn't seem to perform as well unless you spend over 50 hours learning it.

I'm sure there's some latex package somewhere

I used to make free body diagrams for physics 1 lab using draftsight.
What's the best edition of Euclid's Elements?
The only complete version I can find is this one, but as you can see there's a couple of problems with it.
>>7805851
The edition where you come up with the axioms yourself and the prove everything on your own.
Or what, are you a pussy bitch ass liberal arts major?

What problems?
ITT: Prove that you exist.
Protip: you can't
>>7805789
I don't
>>7805789
I think, therefore I am a black hole.
if only I could dump water on you through the internet
Deepwater horizon thread.
Share some materials, papers, links, maps etc. that could be of interest concerning the 2010 oil spill.
What are the ecological repercussions on mexico gulf shores and sea quality/wildlife?
How did they seal the underwater leak? Is it temporary?
>>7804214
If I rubbed a bunch of that grease on my dongle would it be a good substitute for ky?
Nigger I think you should learn about diffusion and the relative size of the gulf of mexico to an oil well. Literally nothing happened.
Also oil is organic shit its not radioactive waste like some people act.

I know a couple people here work at spacex as engineers but what about the technical side?
I'm a qualified avionics tech with multiple nasa/mil-std certs and a math BS.
Woild working as a tech there be worth it? The shifts are quite long and the pay isn't indicated but the idea of working on F9s and FHs eventually sounds pretty cool.
Tl;dr: Does anyone know anything about the technicians work environment at SpaceX?
I've seen a couple of SpaceX employees on /sci/.
My question is: is any of them involved with Hyperloop?
>>7799747
The hyperloop has gone way beyond sci, you have companies working on actual prototypes now - multi-million dollar investments.
>>7799808
I thought it was in the billions wasn't it?
Anon, have you ever seen this video? If you have comments of it? If you haven't, watch then give opinion?

>Why live...?
Post your /sci/ feels

Algebraic Topology is overrated
>>7802579
>he things functors and cohomology belong to the field of algebraic topology
