>A spaceship traveling exactly at the speed of light jettisons a smaller craft ahead of it from the front of the ship
Would the larger ship be pushed back or would the smaller craft not move forward at all?

you cant move at the speed of light so the question is void
>but what if the spacecraft was 1 m/s less than the speed of light and shot a spacecraft out at 2 m/s
what is time dilation
what is relativity
>>
>>7779845
Everything is relative. So to observes on both ships, who are not travelling at light speed relative to each other, everything behaves normally.

yup.
Meaning: You are jettisoning the craft forward meaning the added bonus of moving it forward from your light speed craft it would be going just slightly faster adding the momentum to put it out the front docking bay.... if the Craft slows down slightly it will hit the ship behind.. so generally a good idea to speed up out of it and away from the other ship...................
Yes you can.>>7779847

I'll kick it off.
In the future, technology will stop being physical. Moore's law tells us that computer power will eventually be infinitely large, so that means that we'll be able to hack the universe. Goodbye supply shortages!

Here's a question which I'm sure will get many opinions /sci/.
How does one go about understanding something that is not intuitive?
If it is intuitive, then that something would be easy to understand.
If it is not, then a certain series of steps must be taken to read the point of understanding.
How do you in particular do it /sci/?

>also pic unrelated -- logic gates

Run through a few examples to see the result. Try some outliers to see how intuitive case would necessarily have to fail. Ref. UV breakdown and QM: the classical approach would simply be wrong and intuitively be wrong.

You just keep studying it and deal with it. Most things in life are this way.

I'm a chem grad from outside the US looking to get into a US uni for my ph d. How proficient with the use of analytical instruments (gcms, hpkc, aas, uvvis) am I expected to be to work in the uni? Ilve sadly only been able to handle each of instruments about once per class and the rest of the time we had a lab tech actually running the tests.
Can I expect them to train me to use the instruments as a grad student?
Also, while I'm at it, anybody have the link to library genesis that has scientific documents?

lol, yes someone will train you b/c the rest of the group doesn't want you to damage the instrument.
Usually each member of the group has a 'group job' meaning a particular person in charge of each instrument.
>anybody have the link to library genesis that has scientific documents?
I thought they got sued and had to take it down.
>>
>>7779796
Whew thanks. That's a relief.
Lib gen had several different urls. One still had links to academic papers. I had it on my comp which is currently in service and it was still up last I checked which I can't remember when.

Do you need a Phd to get a Chem related job like you were a Psychology student? (i.e cant get a psychologist job with just Bachelors)

Hey /sci/.
What are the consequences of Bell's theorem?
If someone could explain the testing process aswell that would be nice.

taking this course, pic related, this semester. haven't ordered the book yet though, but it's a new course that's offered at my school with the author as professor.
anyone have any background in this? it sounds cool.
here's the syllabus for the class: http://chemistry.fas.nyu.edu/docs/IO/19766/Chemua382.orgoIII.seeman.spr2

No access to the server, just copy/paste the syllabus.

Hello /sci/
I know this is probably not the place to ask for advice but I have a big decision to make regarding my future and you're the audience I would like to get opinions from rather than /adv/.
Basically, I've finished high school 3 years ago and I've always done fairly well in school, especially in mathematics and general science/logic/problem solving areas. However, I've yet to do anything productive or challenging ever since. I started backpacking and been travelling the globe for years now financing myself with mundane labour and service jobs. I do very much like my lifestyle and I really can't see myself committing to 3 years of university any time in the near future, but I also know that I don't want to keep working shit jobs for years to come.
So recently I've sat down and tried to figure out what I could teach myself in order to be able to make a decent living working from my laptop anywhere around the world. I've done research on several options such as online poker, internet marketing, web design and programming but I'm unsure as to what would be my best bet in order to be able to earn a living from it within 1 year of self study starting now. I'm most interested in programming but I also think that's by far the toughest route to take. Also, I'm a lazy cunt and procrastination is a big issue for me so I'm just stuck here trying to figure out my best plan of action rather than actually getting to it and learning something so I'm hoping this will be the kick in the ass that I need to get rolling in the right direction.
So my question to you would be if you were trying to teach yourself a skill from scratch with the goal of being able to make a living from it within 1 year of self study what do you think your best bet would be? Where would you start? What resources would you recommend?
To give you some numbers, I'd plan to study at least 2 hours a day on average and I'd be more than happy if I made 1000-1200 USD a month.
Appreciate your opinions

Fair enough. I'll stick around for a bit longer anyway someone might be having a good day and feels like helping me out.

>>7779688
If there were such a thing, everyone would already be doing it.
Also,
>I'm most interested in programming

>I'd plan to study at least 2 hours a day on average
The bottom end of the software and services job market is absolutely saturated with people more trained than that. They're the ones who keep bitching that it's impossible to find a software job right now. Forget it.

Hello friends,
I am a 30+ lawyer who recently found I hate law and passion for fundamental physics and cosmology. It will take another year or two to bring my maths to the level necessary to complete a physics degree. What would you do, continue with law or take a leap into science?

Every lawyer I know wants to kill himself.
I'd kill to be able to get my maths to that level and to be able to pursue anything to do with physics.

>>7779687
>Hello friends,
>I recently saw a few pretty graphics of space stuff and I have a passion for physics now just like you :^)
Stick with law. Watch more pop. science instead. Astrophysics isn't hiring anyway.
>>
That's tough OP. Its amazing how we are seduced into doing things we hate just for money, even in this world of abundance we live in.
I'll put this simply for you OP. Your final thought on your deathbed will be one of deep regret if you remain a lawyer.

Cetaceans have been observed to have traits such as self awareness, tool usage, emotional complexity, and advanced social structures, as well as the possibility of language in some dolphin species. How can humanity benefit from their intelligence, and can they benefit from ours?

Does willpower exist?
And is even venturing to put forward a mechanism / foundation for how it works far beyond our current knowledge? (i.e. is it completely binary whether your willpower is working or not; or is it something that depletes or increases depending on other things like a health bar in vidya?)

I can't be bothered googling it, but I can recall a study exactly on this. The conclusion was that your ''willpower'' defined as your ability to make decisions and do things throughout the day does, in fact, deplete.

Well parkinson's is often called the "paralysis of the will" because motivational factors like hunger fail to cause them to initiate movements

/sci/, how do you cite e-books within text (not PDFs but actual epubs)? In particular, using this approach: (Author 2016: X), where X is a page from the book. Can I substitute that with a kindle location number? Should I convert it somehow to the actual page number?
