Do you even need to ask? (Analytical) Mechanics and Relativity.

If you want to learn other one then just read "Data Structures and Algorithms in C++" by Drozdek on your own.

I don't get it. 2nd or 3rd year comsci course vs. literally the first physics class in the introductory sequence? What are you studying?

My IQ is 112 and I washed out of a STEM college plot and now I weld or cut metal plates for a living. I make 76k a year.

I read somewhere (I think in the book Outliers) that for a bachelors the minimum is 100 and for a PhD the minimum is 110

>visualize 7 dimensions.

Are you implyign that we are so retarded that we will devote time and energy into pointlessly trying to 'mentally render' 7 dimensions?

No, that's for stupid people like you.

We have math for that.

{0,0,0,0,0,0,0) Oh look at that. It's the zero row vector in 7 real dimensions. SPOOKY. CAN ANYONE VISUALIZE FOR ME? OH GOD SPOOOOKSSSZZZZ

If you can figure out how to build a machine big enough to filter the entire atmosphere, enlighten me.

>>7805575
Because if we committed all our resources to building such an ambitious project half the planet would starve.

>>7805575

The Earth naturally builds a greenhouse effect. It's just that we humans create our own to the point where the Earth is creating a much thicker green house effect than it should. If we build machines to college the pollution, we'd probably fuck it up and destroy the entire green house effect. It'd be cheaper and more cost effect by just replaying old technology with greener technology. The Earth will eventually take care of the rest.

With the utter collapse in oil prices and massive redundancies (Schumberger alone kicked out 39000 recently) there are armies of geologists seeing employment in a dried up market.Some no doubt seek re-specialization in other geology fields than oil exploration.

So geology is interesting but do not expect to get a job the next 15 years.

if you like the outdoors and traveling while not making much money, then yeah.

Why exactly would it be unethical beyond anything we're already doing today?

>>7803740
I'm not OP but there are several reasons.

You'd almost instantly create a massive class divide between people who had human enhancement technology and people who didn't. What happens when the life expectancy for an extremely small portion of humanity (who also happen to be highly influential and in control) can live much longer than an average person? What's society going to be like when 5% of the population lives to be ~300 and the rest are stuck at 60-90?

What about work that directly benefits from augmented workers? Do you think people would be happy and complacent if their employers forced them to get implants, and then fired them if they refused? What happens when the working class builds a resentment to the enhanced? Do their children grow up learning the same? Could they start riots or strikes?

What about when the wrong person decides to get implants or robotic replacements, and then goes on a killing spree? How do you regulate something like this, when the 'contraband' can become part of the human body? How are people going to look at enhanced people on the street?

What about the religious side? Several major religions see the body as god's temple -- how are their followers going to see this kind of thing? Are there going to be violent reprisals against augmented people for daring to alter what some people see as god's creation?

There are a lot of tough questions when it comes to the ethics of human enhancement, which is one of the reasons large corporations aren't pouring billions into it right now. You just aren't going to know how humankind is going to react, until they do.

Someone that's truly smart can get a B in most class while doing 0 work or studying just off tests/quizzes.

If your IQ is also that high then you should have no problem getting a high SAT score.

A 3.0 and a 2300 is enough to get into a top 50 university (although barely) which all have very smart people a "genius" like yourself could talk too.

Is anime really a science? I mean, ofc it does not follow the idealized scientific method the way, say, Physics does, but is it close enough to a real science to deserve such title? Are ideas like animu girls, anime-con clubs, Advent Child series or Rangiku's boobs scientifically valid the way, say, the second law of DeathNote or theBoku no Pico of light are? Moreover, when it comes to practical maters (Naruto, to be more precise) how effective is it?

Some psychology is science, especially modern psychology. Of course, things like Freud's sexual phases are total bullshit, which is recognized by the whole psychology community.

No

I kinda like this idea, but it's the same problems as a space fountain in that it's an 'active structure' which will fail spectacularly if the power fails, and it sucks like a conventional space elevator because the magnetic structures themselves could be broken if the structure develops a whip or wave down the structure.

Sounds like a better plan than the stupid ass space fountain idea.

>>7807572
Get an engineering degree and come back to me.

>>7807583
I actually got the idea while reading about the space fountain idea and thinking "why not instead of physical balls we use electricity?". Solenoids are just the first thing to come to mind since I've been reading a lot about coilgun engineering.


What about a design made entirely out of permanent magnets?
Still a structural integrity problem, but that's an issue for anything tall enough to get into space and not as shaped like a pyramid. Though I kinda doubt there's a permanent magnet strong enough to support a robot crawling up it, maybe a bunch of parallel towers?

>>7807584
Currently in the process.

To answer that you'd first need to define what it means to be "after" an infinite number of something in a meaningful way.

No.

They also have diminishing returns on energy production because unsurprisingly, pumping water into the ground cools it, eventually.

>>7807510
Another problem is that if you have to pump the working fluid too far down to reach the heat, you'll have difficulty getting the hot fluid or vapor back up efficiently.

>>7807409
none. That's why a rover reached mars but not men

putting a man on the moon was just for posterity, anything they collected could have been collected by a robot.

>>7807409
Humans are more adaptable and work quicker. Sometimes it's just easier to have a person walk over to just go do something then fuck around and try to remote control a drone to do it. A human with a bag full of tools is more versatile than a drone designed to do one or two things. Those stupid robot claws are clumsy as fuck.

They're not always worth having around, though. Most space exploration and science should be unmanned, unless it's science focused on humans themselves.

>A human with a bag full of tools is more versatile than a drone designed to do one or two things
yeah but that doesn't take cost into account

You're damn right

If I drop a ball, after 200m it's not accelerating at 9.81 ms^-2

Physics is a joke

Consider the same with water
It's the same (fluid) but easier to comprehend for baiters and autists like you

Another pathocracy?
