Because Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, how would you know they are moving or not moving, they could be moving and not moving at the same time. They are there, they may not be there. They can be everywhere at the same time, do you understand? You've brought this upon yourself, you've brought quantum mechanics into this.

It's called a *convention* for a reason. It affects nothing and everyone uses it.

>>7789767
Much like how the geocentric model was a convention that everybody used affecting nobody.

Relative to an external observer circle A revolves 4 times because circle A's centre is also rotating, relative to Circle B circle A revolves 3 times as circle A's centre is stationary. Clearly the answer is either 3 and 4, and in this case 3 is an acceptable choice as 4 is not presented.

Thinking comparatively to genes, in what way could a meme be classified as fit within its environment?
Could we build a model to find which memes are most fit and use it to usher in a new decade of incredibly dank memes?

If a meme is the social equivalent of a gene, then imagemacros are really more than just a singular meme, it seems like they are the social equivalent of an organism with many memes describing it.
It's easier to measure the fitness of an organism than it is to determine the cause of its fitness.

Some guy on /b wants this message to be encrypted A73 1839 F91 people on /b are talking about area codes and all that nonsense but I think it's just a secret language. The only ones I would guess are thr ceaser cipher or rail cipher but Im not sure about that stuff. Any of you /sci people wanna try and solve it?

Lets check how smart /sci/ really is.
Solve this without using a calculator.
>A) Every day 5 winners are chosen with a pool of 2000 people.
>B) Every week 35 winners are chosen from a pool of 8500 people.
>C) Every month 150 winners are chosen from a pool of 44000 people.
As a participant, in which option do you have the highest chance of winning?

Assuming nobody is a winner twice, A by a long shot
everyone wins in A in about 400 days =~ 1 year
everyone wins in B in about 250 weeks =~5 years
everyone wins in C in about 300 months = ~25 years
normalized by multiplying by 44000/n, values are
A) 22 years/Cperson
B) 25 years/Cperson
C) 25 years/Cperson

I don't expect the media to be science or tech savvy but unless they're reporting figures wrong just what the fuck is up with Bombardier?
12,427 miles in 22 minutes is
33,892 miles an hour. That's almost twice orbital velocity. That's the speed of deep space probes. They'd miss Dubai on their way to Pluto. Do they expect to use the Earth's atmosphere to push the plane back towards the ground like a centrifuge? What would they even make it out of?

I've been a Kurzweil follower for a long time. How many /sci/entists are true believers that we'll reach AI in 2029 and quickly reach the singularity soon thereafter? I live in Silicon Valley and there are still so many people that are blind here. If you are actually a true believer, how do you cope?
The notion that we might pierce the veil of reality in a continuous arc from our current consciousnesses has caused me to go a little bit insane. It makes the universe so much more mysterious and my life seem so much weirder.
WHY ME. WHY SHOULD ANY OF US BE THE ONES TO GO ON THIS JOURNEY?
WHO THE FUCK ARE WE. WHY AM I ME.

if its any comfort anon, even it did get invented, you would probably be too poor to afford it :3
>>
>>7789532
Afford what? Strong AI? Immortality? You have no idea how much money I have anyway :333
Anyway, I believe that we will become quasi communists and roughly equally divide the value of the gains discovered by the strong AI explosion. If we don't, I'll be among the first to rebel against those who think they deserve to hoard the value from strong AI.

Is there a good book on physics for someone self-teaching themselves that explains all the principles in a simple manner, basic stuff?
I'd like a book that contains mechanics to nuclear physics basics, basically HS physics. I'm currently doing Khan only, wanna expand a bit.
