Celestial Swordsman, Castle and Army Over Strasbourg
>"In the year 1531 a bloody vision with a sword in its hand was seen near Strasbourg and in other parts, as well as a fiery citadel and opposite that an armed host on horseback, just as is painted here.

Tiber Monster
>"In A.D. 1496, in the month of January, at the time the Tiber burst its banks high and wide near Rome: what wondrous creature appeared, found dead where the raging and the might of the Tiber’s waters had subsided, and was in this shape and form, as it is painted there."

I mean look at this weird fucker.

Comet
>"In the year 1506, a comet appeared for several nights and turned its tail towards Spain. In this year, a lot of fruit grew and was completely destroyed by caterpillars or rats. This was followed eight and nine years later, in this country and in Italy, by an earthquake, so great and violent that in Constantinople a great many buildings were knocked down and people perished."

this is my answer to OPs question
You can't just dismiss anyone who isn't braindead and/or delusional with a certain kind of hat. Also go back to /pol/

>>9104544

Science does not work with facts, only theories. You're wrong in that one.

Keeping this moving.

>>9102702
This is the way it happened in the past, but "enriching" doesn't have to be about resources. Think of ISS. People there don't mine or physically procure anything, but they gain knowledge about living without gravity and how humans, plants and materials react to it. Regardless, a large colony on other planet (or moon or in space) would probably need enough resources to sustain the colonists, as people are not so keen to fund such endeavors.

>>9102740
Well, first of all, what type of research can you do on mars that you cannot do on earth. Everyone talks about how it would advance scientific research to build a colony there, but if we are to invest bilions of dollars in this endeavor, it should have practical implecations that would improve the taxpayers life, otherwise, it has no justification.
Second, even if the government would fund it, what would make people migrate to mars? During the colonisation of "the new world", the majority of people migrated to the americas out of the belief that the would gain a lot of wealth. If mars dont have that economic potential, why would people migrate there?

>>9102751
Are you joking? Mars is a whole another planet. That's a pretty vast research material. See, this kind of thinking is why NASA's funding is so shit. It always has to improve taxpayers life (read: I want to stay in my comfort zone). Some people want to broaden their horizons, you know.

Reality follows a set of axioms (physical laws) and is accurate one-hundred percent of the time.

This is true in the classical sense, but is it also true in the quantum sense?

>>9101038
What I mean to ask is if reality is always precise.

On another note, why is emergent morality not taught in schools alongside evolution?

>naturalism holds that there is no intention in physical objects (and more but let's leave it there for now)
False. Naturalism holds that everything originates with natural causes. If intelligence arises from non-intelligence than everything originates without intention but certain physical objects are eventually created with intention.

>>information involves inferring, which is inherently goal-directed
False. Information exists regardless of conscious observers.

>>9100816
Naturalism is pretty stupid when you think about it. It's amazing that it has so many fans.

>>9103962
lol you can tell they're all excited because they think they know something he doesn't and they get to make a big deal about how retarded he is.

Quantum Field Theory

>>9103840
Griffiths has a good book for elementary particles that's for undergrad courses

you just follow a formula if you're not diving into quantum field theory

[spoiler alert] a lot of the feynman diagrams you'll encounter are divergent in their integrals for scattering amplitude

>>9103840
What is this anyway?

Annihilation followed by pair production?

>>9103746

No. Internet pharmacy or perscription.

>>9103746
It's useful for combatting the effects of lack of sleep. That's all. It may help if you have ADD.

Most nootropics aren't worth messing with. Prl-8-53 was the only one that made much of a difference for me. All the racetams are trash.

>>9103746
Its all meme bs.

>>9103363
The problem comes from having to have access to the fuel, either by bringing it or by scooping it. That, and the need for infinitely increasing amounts of fuel as you go faster.

>>9103363
I assume the difficulty is bringing enough fuel to accelerate to near light speed, not to mention the time it would take and how much fuel would be necessary to reduce speed enough to do anything useful. And bringing enough fuel to slow down means you need way more fuel to to deal with that extra weight.

This is basic relativity OP. As you accelerate more and more you can get asymptotically close to lightspeed, the closer you get to lightspeed, the more energy gets converted into mass, and less into speed.
Never really studied relativity but this is the gist of it I think.

>the future is the past
Too much Star Trek huh?

>>9103764
Not an argument

No. If time travel is possible, at one point we'd maste it, and yet we don't see time traveling dudes. Time travel to the past is impossible because we don't see any time travellers around.

I don't study 10 hours a day, but I study on "vacations" for the same reason

>>9103024
That sounds great, I can't focus on studies when I'm down, I just lay in bed all day. How do I learn to channel my energy into studying instead?

>>9102930
Is gravity constant in both A and C?

>>9102939
What do you mean? There is no gravity exerted on A in this example.
