They made a simple videogame to help visualize what moving at relativistic velocities would look like.

Very cool

I am not talking about me moving at near speed of light.
But about a guy that is not doing it, looking at a monitor that shows what is happening inside a spaceship that is doing it

>>7697471
Because I'm sitting on the toilet.
Why aren't you?

>>7697473
Because I'm preparing a nice cup of Earl Grey.

looking for parts to try this out. pic related

He's too smart for that.

>230 iq "genius"
>spends his time looking at prime numbers
HahahahahahHhHhHhHhaha

Witten said he tried to pursuade him into working on M theory but was rejected.

hi there aggydaggy

you're a programmer with no robotics experience? what are you 17?

>i am not a robot

>>7697380
I have a rudimentary understanding of servos, actuation, etc. But not much beyond that.

I'm in need of information in topics like weaponry, jet propulsion, materials engineering (alloys, etc)

Mechs will never be realistic because the concept is massively impractical.
If you want a semi realistic 'what if we did just cause lol' you probably dont have to do much, just stay away from 'energy weapons', set some limits that allow you to still have the robots about how much metal the relevant robotic bits can move with how much ease in your world, and keep in mind weight and volume concerns for decently realistic weapons on top of a big humanoid robot.

written by an edgy spergmaster, but fundamentally has a point. It heavily relies on the definition of 'bullshit' from an outside source, yet the problem with a word such as that is that it's definition can change and has changed.
it also tries to use common features in scientific articles, and use of 'big' words to masquerade as anything other than an opinionpiece.

How about actually read it instead of just peeking at the abstract?

>not having a graphic calculator
are you poor or something?

>>7697203
I don't believe you but give me the derivatives anyway. Doing math helps me forget my shitty life.

wolframalpha you lazy piece of shit

who are these people ?

>>7697121
oh I should mention these are the Bogdanov brothers, french 'scientists' specifically "physicists"

>Pure People

it is partially true

>>7697104
I hate being alive, but am engineered for ambivalence and self doubt.

How do I find the way out if it looks like none exist?

>>7697129
Realize you're already exactly there.

Is mathematics created or discovered?

Is mathematics a social construct?

>Will /sci/ discuss philosophy of science and epistemology?
There is nothing to discuss. You can repeat your "u cannot know nuffin" mantra ad infinitum, but don't ever expect scientists to care. We just continue to use the scientific method because it works regardless of whether some autistic "philosopher" fails to understand it.

>>7697084
>There is nothing to discuss.
I think there is a lot to discuss. What is scientific, and why should I trust scientific things? What about 'scientific authority'? What are the limits of peer review, and what should I do if we reach those limits?

>You can repeat your "u cannot know nuffin" mantra ad infinitum, but don't ever expect scientists to care.
Breaking out the strawmen already?

Would you like to substantiate that statistic?

>Is physics just pure applied mathematics?

No, physics is just applied pure mathematics?

>>7696948
No, it makes several additional hypothesis such as the causality principle.

why is eric raymond in this picture?

>b-but only 50% can give more or less than average
>doesnt understand weighted averages
come back when you graduated high school

>>7696920
or the difference between mean and median

>>7696916
100% of statistics are bullshit.

If "magic" existed we wouldn't call it magic, it would just be part of the laws of physics.

>>7696828
/thread
Just like magnetism can seem like magic to someone uneducated.

>>7696828
Taking that into account then, or imagine that magic just came to the world suddenly, how would you imagine it working, what would you call it?

No working out and no contact info Im dumb i need the working out.

i simulated the situation n times for k=1 000 000 and k=100 000 000, my laptop almost melted while doing so

k=1 000 000
0, 0, 0, 0, 3, 436, 73988, 925573

k=100 000 000
0, 0, 0, 1, 278, 42438, 7403501, 92553782

nth number corresponds to the number of simulations where (n-1) patrons stayed on the field
using interpolation it's visible that the probability of no patrons staying on the field is approximately of the order of 10^(-15) or lower

What are primes?

>>7696689
Put it in the pile next to the 10000000 other algorithms we know for generating primes?

>>7696697
Oh well, I figured people would have already come up with something so simple

>>7696664
This is nonsensical on many levels, go see a psychiatrist.

My psychiatrist is who suggested that I vent this on 4chan

>>7696708
I highly doubt that, why would your psychiatrist want to subject you to ridicule. First of all, the idea that there is a massive conspiracy to promote global warming among scientists, and that the government prosecutes or kills people because they are looking at the statistics of global warming research (which is widely available information), is absurd on its face and indicative of a paranoia complex. Second, Aaron Swartz was very liberal and actually campaigned in favor of reducing fossil fuels.
