could it be that planet 9s obit crosses the earths orbit every few million years in a way that it fucks with the earths gravitational field so that volcanoes explode and whole species like the dinosaurs get extinct?
>>7804910
No.
Next question.
>>7804910
No, but in the 80's they theorized a planet 9 type object was responsible for sending shit from the Oort cloud toward earth.

Suppose NASA did actually find out that advanced alien life in our solar system existed, would they REALLY want to disclose the truth to the public?
Would they really?
I mean, consider the geopolitical, economical, religious and social impact here.
Be honest /sci/.
>>7803975
of course they would you massive queer
brainstorm my dick, faggot
>>7803975
Pretty much everyone working at NASA is passionate about space exploration. The massive hike in public support and financing would be too much to pass up on. I really don't think you can tell NASA to just 'keep it quiet' when they discover alien live.
oh look, yet another WHAT IF AYLIUMS thread

If the universe is ever expanding, does that mean even our solar system is expanding too?
Are we slowly moving away from the sun and other planets?
bump cause im retarded
>>7804871
So retarded that you cant even search google for basic astronomy facts
>>7804861
No, because gravity holds systems and galaxies together.
Universe is being expanded because of dark energy that exists only the the deep space voids between galaxies.
But yeah, in billions of years galaxies will be too far away to see, stars will all be burnt out black dwarfs or black holes and on a long enough timeline, even the black holes will consume every last photon and elementary particle then evaporate themselves.

Since I was a teenager, I always saw light in different ways. But now everytime I see a street light or a lamp, I can see how its "light particles move", now Im not sure what it is, It's definitely NOT floaters.
Pic related is how I see the light in a lamp post, expect it moves, just like an electro magnetic field
I really need your help, should I get my eyes checked?
You should take haloperidol.
More on this, If the light is ambar, I can see the individual ambar "light particles" exit the lamp, go up, enter return to the lamp the opposite way, Its really interesting
>>7804635
Thats for psychotic disorders, you cant be serious
My family is littered with doctors, they would have noticed something was wrong when I got checked
So there is a website where you can sort through a 100 billion photos of galaxies taken by autonomous space robots and classify them for science. For no pay.
So I was clicking through and found this galaxy, which doesn't look like anything else I've ever seen or heard of.
Any ideas on why an otherwise boring, pleb-tier elliptical galaxy is shitting out stars in that C-shape pattern? It makes no sense to me whatsoever.
That is peculiar. I'm no astronomer, but I've never seen a galaxy with arms going the opposite direction
>>7803066
That cant be right.. I mean.. Maybe it has to do with the image.. I mean.. Thats un natural right?
>tfw you don't know what you're doing on your first time and you label wrongly what is actually a reachable alien civilization

I like pluto, and I like this senpai too.
I've been searching solar system planetary science in recent days, and this man is all over everything. Even keeps a great web page on solar system bodies with a daily date update tag, keeping him honest. Now I know that Orcus is, in multiple senses, the complementary body of Pluto!
Did Asians get their strange looks from interbreeding with the Red Deer people?
>>7800895
>their strange looks
you should hear what they say about your looks, gaijin
>>7801494
Because all those asians getting plastic surgery to add a crease to the eyelid, all those anime characters from notoriously xenophobic japan with incredibly western features, and wave after wave of cultural fashion fads empasizing caucasion features like blonde hair, colored contact lenses, and altered skin tones really go to show just how hideous the average asian finds white people to be.

Is light matter or energy?
>implying matter and energy are two different things
>>7804486
Why are you implying they are not?
Where were you when SpaceX got beaten at its own game?
>>7803637
I was busy not giving a fuck
>>7803637
you bureaucratic whores who leech of taxpayer money may not be aware of this, but in the industry there's a concept called competition, and I've heard it's very useful to the development of a market.
>>7803726
Just like how it's useful in getting your mom
Can someone give me the lowdown on bioinformatics, computational biology, and the major difference between the two.
I really enjoy math and I think there is some cool shit in mol bio so I want to find a graduate program in which I could merge the two.
>>7803447
Bioinformatics is generally used interchangeably with computational biology, but in some contexts it connotes more of a data-analytic approach while computational biology is about creating computational models of biological systems.
>>7803481
soo computational biology is kinda about creating the tools that bioinformatitions use?
>>7803499
These terms are used so vaguely that it is pointless to worry about labeling. In the most specific sense though I would not say that computational biology creates tools for bioinformatics. Computational biology tends to be about trying to model a biological system. This is sort of like inductive reasoning, in that you are "guessing" how the system works and seeing how the results of your guess match the empirical data. Bioinformatics on the other hand is more deductive in that you are finding a pattern in large amounts of empirical data such as a genomic database. But again, I wouldn't worry about which field you are specifically interested in since they are generally interchangeable. It's more important to have a specific idea of how you want to use computer science and biology. Basically look at what professors are doing in the programs you want to apply to.

Suppose in some hypothetical society, the four forces of nature are as mythologized and symbolic as the classical elements. What do you think they would represent?

Isn't it weird that all 'known' planets seem to be orbiting from the same (left) side of the sun?
right?
>>7802947
yeah its counterclockwise wise like the muslims with kabaa
Those aren't planets...
is there one field that covers all these areas?
>/sci/ help me change fields give me a reason to exist look at all these pdf's i'm hording that i have never opened
I bet you haven't read even one of those pdf files faggot
