Do astronauts fap in space? If so how do they dispose of their spunk in zero gravity? If someone used a vibrator in space would it act as a gyroscope?
Space sexuality is unfortunately inhibited by astronauts and visiting scientists wanting to keep their very prestigious jobs. I imagine spunk has enough surface tension to stay together before catching it in a bag, but there's probably no privacy in the ISS except for sleeping bags.

>Do astronauts fap in space?
I'm absolutely certain it has happened at least once.
>Skunk in zero gravity?
Not that different as under 1g, I hold a tissue like 1cm from my tip anyway.
>vibrators?
I imagine they would start to slowly rotate around their off-center CoM and work as a gyro, yes.
>>7763759
>probably no privacy in the ISS
If you have 45 sec to one minute out of sight, there is no problem. I imagine it isn't awfully quiet either, with all the machinery.
I just finished it all up.
I'm pretty proud of it to be honest.
Tell me what you think.

Seriously what's the point of usual that casual ass wikipedia reference style? Just use Harvard reference so you don't have to look up the reference list to see who the fuck you're talking about.

Pussy.
Junk and buzzwords, the paper.
Can't wait to find this on Arxiv and send it to you co-authors, as if they exist.
Sorry if this is a dumb question
Just started on MIT's OCW dynamics course, very first problem I've gotten wrong but don't see what I did wrong
pic related
Can anyone explain what I did wrong to get this answer?
>>7763588
The fuck is this?
Dynamics is supposed to be done with diffy Qs, not these high-school tier formulas.
Also step 4 you squared v2 but already took the root on the RHS. It should just be v2 without raising the power.

First dynamics question, comrade
>Also step 4 you squared v2 but already took the root on the RHS. It should just be v2 without raising the power.
Thanks, I knew it would probably be something stupid asf

What the fuck... why did you use energy? This is literally high school Calculus. Fuck, not even. It's literally Algebra II; you don't need to know any physics to be able to understand/solve this problem.
I'll type out the work in just a second.
Is this a good introductory text?
>>7763550
My used it.
Has a very well refined pedagogy, the author puts real effort in to trying to help students understand the material instead of just trying to impress other physicists.
Very comprehensive for an introductory text. My edition including intro to SR, QM and particle physics.
/sci/ elitists will tell you it's utter shit and to get a real textbook.
>>7763558
My programme* used it.

I was wondering, is pic related considered popsci by /sci/? What about 'Phantoms in the Brain'?
absolutely not. Kahneman is nobel laureate.
inb4 not real nobel
inbox behavioural econ not real science
It's popsci but it's good popsci
>>7763557
nobel doesn't mean not popsci.
However this is a really interesting book.
Are these Feynman lecture videos recommended or is there something better? I'm just a maths major who wants to learn some physics while watching comfy youtube videos.

Also, can you recommend me something with assignments too?
You will get a lot more out of these.

What is in your opinion the best and worst engineering degree?
"Best" and "worst" in terms of making money, having a future etc.

What's a good, basic introduction to differential equations?
Textbook general, I guess.
I like the book by Aulbach.
simmons is pretty great so far tbqh
I've been recommended these books to learn math:
The Mental Calculator's Handbook
Algebra by Gelfand and Shen
Elementary Geometry from an Advanced Standpoint
Anything you would add or take away?
What does /sci/ think of Khan Academy?
Good introduction to some subjects, but not much more than that.
I like it. I don't use it much, but I think services like that in general are awesome--definitely a step in the right direction. The internet is an awesome platform for education, but distributing education over the internet is still in its early days.
>>7763428
I plan to learn at least calculus thanks to it
What does this mean when talking about suitable domains?
>>7763411
It means x is real.
>>7763411
x = variable x
∈ = 'is an element of'
R = real number set
Hence, x∈R is simply a small note stating that x is a real number.

Lets say that we are living in a simulated reality.
Could are programmers program reality glitches such as the proposed mandala effect?
>>7763112
"The Mandala Effect" is just group ignorance. People are stupid, reality isn't glitched.

>>7763112
Each person has a subjective experience of reality simulated by their brain. This is a biological electrochemical interplay of neurons. Yes you live in a simulation. No it isn't a big computer simulation ruling your life. This very post is just my subjective ego utilizing metaphorical symbology called english through electrical devices called computers. Eventually you and I will talk more directly. the speed of communication increases while the distance matters less. That errors called the Mandela effect are just your subjective reality experiencing objective reality fact checks. Your perception of reality is being confronted with actuality.
How would you explain someone who has never once taken a STEM class on weight gain, type of food, and what actually makes a person fat?
>>7763042
When you are eating then youre eating something called calories.
When youre moving youre burning these calories.
When you burn more calories than you eat you lose weight, when you burn less you gain weight.
