Working for NASA doing anything would be a really good thing to put on your resume if you end up not liking your job. Do it.

Alright. Going for it. Emails have been sent to University & Work for letters of recommendation.

The simplest proof is to use a combinatoric tree. Suppose you have a coin, what's the probability of tossing it twice and getting heads both times? The first toss has 2 possibilities (heads or tails), then each of these tosses has two branches for the second toss (again, heads or tails). The total sample space is therefore 4. Heads, heads, represents one event out of the 4. Hence probability =1/4 or 1/2 * 1/2

What is interesting is that although you may think having the lottery numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6 has just as much chance as any other combination, in fact because it is a run of consecutive numbers it is a far less likely outcome

Is this true? How so?

Oh yeah, and this:

>Mullis reported an encounter with a glowing green raccoon at his cabin in the woods of northern California around midnight one night in 1985. He denies the involvement of LSD in this encounter.[

I'd say it's possible but from my own research (was writing a short story for it) there are several issues.

1) Tidal locking might make both planets unable to rotate (depending on how old this system is) though this can be alleviated by their revolution around their gravitational center.

2) Tidal forces would be monstrous. If for some reason both planets are still rotating, they would have a noticeable bulge in the crust that always faces its twin and tides would be tens to hundreds of meters. The flex in the crust would generate tons of heat and the bulge moving with the planets' rotation would churn up the oceans something fierce in addition to boiling them at the bottom. (Skip this if Tidal locked)

If "binary orbit" can be interpreted widely then pic related. Basically the habitable planets are locked in the lagrange points of the gas giant.

It sure would be a spectacular view from these planets.

That doesn't mean anything

nope. it means research and destruction

I have to leave right now so I won't have time to justify my comment but please take it as if this was god's answer:

*DON'T*

Sidenote: You are 'supposedly' a professional now, not a 15 year old kid.

Use something more simple, that shit drags the attention when it shouldn't

>>7775874
Welp, I'll find something different then, you're right.

I used Tgif. It is easy, is still being developed but has a lot of quirks.

Inkscape is a bit difficult, but you can easily get used to it in 20 minutes or so if you're only drawing blocks. Don't bother with the freetard tutorials, just play around with the tools.

IPE is a bit easier and works well for including equations/texts.

It does need to be vector graphics though, journals need to rescale your figures so you can't really use raster shit.

"hurrdurr Im retarded cs101 major"

asking the question "what is the probabilty i will get a 3" rolling 2 dices is equivalent to

chance of me getting
3 and 0
2 and 1
1 and 2
0 and 3

What the fuck are you even saying? Dice don't have a 0 face, or at least none I've ever used.

The total number of possibilities is 6^2 because permutations = variables ^ slots.

An easy way to remember this if it's something you have difficulty with is to imagine a 4 digit combination lock with 0-9 for each slot. You know there are 10,000 combinations because the highest number is 9,999 and the lowest is 0. 4^10 does not give 10,000, 10^4 does.

So you know there are 36 permutations, that acts as a checksum for the next method.

List all the possible results. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.

Now make a list of all the possible combinations for each number, you know that you have to use 2 numbers, those numbers are all between 1 and 6.

2 = 1+1
3 = 1+2, 2+1
4 = 2+2, 3+1, 1+3
and so on

The total number of data points should be 36 based on the total we worked out earlier.

So rereading your question you didn't want any of this so I won't go further but I'll re-explain the first bit.

Variables ^ slots. Always. Remember the combination lock. Variables in this case = number of sides on the dice, slots = number of dice.

Variables are what can appear in each slot, each slot is which thing can present a number.

If you're ever confused as to which is the variable and which is the slot just reduce both sets down, one to 2 and one to 3. Work out how many data points would arise from the reduced number. If the answer is 8, the one you reduced to 2 is the variable, if the answer is 9 the one you reduced to 3 is the variable.

I'm sure tomorrow it will be up again for everyone who wants to read :^)

This link works for me.

Look up lorentz transformations. even more elementary/immediately applicable, look up relative velocity formula for one dimensional motion.

each spaceship travels at (0.5c+0.5c)/(1+0.5c*0.5c/c^2) = 0.8c in the frame of reference of the other.

I don't understand, anyone mind explaining
