The mirrors can't be perfect so they will absorb some. Sorry.

we're close now, and with the prospect of infinite energy, it seems like a smart goal to work towards.

What if you tried to kill yourself by tying yourself to a heavy weight and jumping into a river, but as soon as you did, all the water in the river suddenly turned into pizza-cheese?
BUT, there's a catch, you also suddenly really, really hate cheese. Also you can now breathe cheese, so you won't drown or die.

How does it feel knowing this is possible?

>>7718592
What if you can actually never die.
Since you've never experienced death, how do you know that everyone around you isn't a figment of your imagination and that you are immortal

p.s. near-death experience doesn't count

>>7718592
Constant pain for eternity? Then I guess I'd have enough time to simulate an entire universe where on some planet intelligent live eventually forms and creates various religions that all make various assumptions about what purpose me, their Creator, made them for. The truth is, I was just bored and burning for eternity really sucks HELP MAKE IT STOP PLEASE I BEG YOU

He has a PhD and he really knows what he's talking about.

He doesn't need to be smart, he is making a channel for people who are interested in science in a non-professional way, so it's naturally pop-sci. I don't know how good his research is but it doesn't seem terrible.

>>7718532
In what?
Also that last video made me hyped as fuck that humans arent gonna get stuck on this rock forever

ballmer peak

allows you to get to that zone like when you're about to fall asleep, thought of something extremely interesting but are too tired to get out of bed and act on it

this is why having a beer once in a while is good.

meh, entry level

I'm doing Science and Education, so yes. I will never be rich, but I will be satisfied.

Yeah they do.

I chose ChemE because it's interesting and yes muh versatility, I love learning from so many different fields, there's plenty of time for specialization in grad-school.

Those are just a few of the things off the top of my head, too. I've even seen claims that causality itself is an illusion.

>>7713787
Free will and morality are definitely illusions. The other statements are retarded and scientifically wrong.

>>7714183

>Free will is a myth. Religion is a joke.

Get out Monsoon.

Where are the corpses.

Where are the recent fossils.

I will grant you that a relict population is not impossible, but I still think it's exceptionally unlikely.

10.000 black bears die every year in the woods
I'm out there almost all the time but I have never seen a single black bear bone

You're fine.

>>7721542
Are you being sarcastic? I rather not get heart failure or waste my medication.

>>7721539
the only side effect would be a bit of salty taste in your mouth and some sleepiness for the next 12 or so hours.

Other than that I don't think it'd affect you in any way. I am a med student completing his last year if that helps.

Just make sure the injection is clean and sterile and you don't inject any air bubbles.

Retarded chemistry student here, this is probably wrong but here I go:

If there's no air resistance then they should be the same. If there's air resistance then throwing it into the air is worse.

>downs syndrome chemfag out

>>7721133
"Worse" as in less likely to break your phone, if breaking the phone was the goal

>>7721037
OP, you better edit that picture. The intersection between biology, chemistry and physics is of course mechatronics engineering :^)

>>7721054
But memes are supposed to be on /s4s/

I'd go for the chemistry.

You heard more or less correctly, IMO. A lot of physics does make more sense if you know basic calculus. For example, something as basic as the relationship between position, velocity, and acceleration is most easily expressed in terms of derivatives and integrals.

Same here, but in Michigan.

I don't know if that's just lake effect or if it's something else.

Is implying that statics is difficult a new meme to draw out major politics fuckwits now? This same thread was posted almost verbatim 2 days ago.

>>7720714
only if you believe that jet fuel can't melt steel beams.

Get good at matrix algebra and vector geometry

Bump but probably gonna slide. I think I've answered my own question

Anyone? Maybe one more bump

If the Universe were collapsing, distant galaxies would be blue-shifted, as the space between us would be shrinking. The correlation between red-shift and distance is the major thing that tells us it's currently expanding.

Expansion/collapse cycles are effectively irrelevant to the modern age, since upon collapse to a sufficiently small volume everything gets effectively reset anyway. Although there are alternative cosmological models, the earliest we can see back to is just after the Big Bang, so that's all that's really worth "believing" at this time. But we work on other models like cyclical expansion/collapse because one day we might have some observations that fit into them, and it'll be useful to know what to look for when that day comes.

because life is suffering and substance-abuse is the easiest path for temporary relief. also, alcohol is a drug, faggot, in fact one of the most deadly drugs.

You have to talk about brain chemistry when you talk about WHY these things are good.

But it all boils down to evolution. We evolved with the pleasure centers in our brain in order to be spurred into action, in one form or another. We search for food and fuckbuddies, and either one of those activates a gland which rewards us with feelings of pleasure.

The strange part is this wacky coincidence that these specific chemicals which make us feel good don't just come from the gland; they also come from other sources opiates for example.

The relationship between the poppy plant and the mammal, therefore, must be symbiotic. The animal eats the plant, enjoys the high, poops out the seeds, the circle of life continues.

TL;DR it's a symbiotic relationship based on getting the host high.

idk I don't like alcohol
most of it tastes too much like syrups I hated as a kid
