Possibly. But it would take a lot of time, a lot of work, and a lot of resources.

>>7686782
Yes. But the expenses and the degree of organization needed to pull of its construction far surpasses anything we've ever built.

And to what end? So that we can have a floating castle city in the sky? No advantage in doing so.

>>7686787
>>7686788
True I get that, this is all just hypothetical.

How could it actually work? Big rockets and duct tape?

Is there anything more disappointing than coming here and seeing people posting high school math shit?

I'm not sure about this but I guess it has something to do with the chain rule. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_rule)

When you want to differentiate your first function you're actually substituting the function in the exponential by a new function (let's call it u(x)) so now your derivative becomes:
f(x)=exp(x^2+x), u(x)=x^2+x
df(x)/dx=df/du*du/dx

In your second function there is no function of x to substitute in your exponential. Therefore the derivative becomes 4*x^3.

>>7686733
Wrong. There is the function u(x) = 4.

The point is that you'd be differentiating something of the form x^{u(x)} which is quite different from an exponential, or a polynomial. So you'd have
[math]y = x^{u(x)}[/math] gives [math]y'/y = (u(x)\log(x))'[/math].

I'll let you work out the details to check it all works.

prob has to do with using hyperbolic trig identities on the denominator i don't fuggin know

>>7686637
0sin(2(0))/(1+1-2)=0

WAT ARE MICELLES

>>7686605
What is your point? or are you just spouting buzzwords?

I propose you should stop posting the same thing
>here is experimental evidence against the membrane-pump theory for the maintenance of high K+ and low Na+ concentrations in resting cells. Ling has shown (1962) that under specified conditions, the Na pump alone would consume 1530 times the total energy available to the cell.
>This objection to the steady-state model, presented in detail fifteen years ago (Ling, 1962), has been confirmed in general principle by Jones (1965) and Minkoff & Damadian (1973, 1974). A second example of experimental evidence against the pump model consists of the demonstration that the levels of Na+ and K+ in the cell do not depend on the rate of outward Na+ flux, as demanded by the pump theory (Ling & Ochsenfeld, 1976).
what we know now, which we didn't know then, is that Na+/K+ ion flow is facilitated by using opposite concentration gradients, that Na+ pumps do not move solely Na+, and that cells also have general-purpose ion diffusion pores. all of those are theoretical details which have been well documented and demonstrated in the decades since this paper came out

>So editing embryos is out, editing sperm cells is in. This is the future of human gene editing.

What about defects that are in the egg cells?

>>7686439
Use a "healthy" mother I guess I don't know desu.

>>7686439
There is a 50/50 chance that a defective gene from an egg will be passed on, I think. So create embryos until one doesn't have that gene. That doesn't require gene editing, only gene screening.

Women don't go into some fields, whereas men do.

>>7686465
What does that have to do with anything?

>>7686275
Okay so the mass equivalence of a photon with a wavelength of 589nm is 3.75*10^(-36) kg.

I imagine that something with the density of a black hole pulls in shittons of those.

Answering the question: BECAUSE IT'S SO FUCKING DENSE.

It is called singularity for a reason.
We simply don't know what happens inside a black hole.

Is this bait?

A single socket already creates a circuit. The input and output wires are contained within one cable, this is why sockets have two prongs (and sometimes a third for grounding).

Why did you make this thread?

This isn't even science fiction, it's a basic question we've been asking for nearly as we've existed and recorded our history.

Yeah, what if? What if man?! WHAT IF WHAT IF?

DUNNO MAN. WHY DON'T YOU GO THINK ABOUT IT ON YOUR OWN FOR A WHILE?

>>7686219
Then you'd have to tackle most of modern science's biggest philosophical issues: The question of Final Causality.

If Final Causality exists then humanity has a "reason" and if not, they don't.

Yeah. Actually, you are right. Sorry for ruining your day. But you almost broke my heart.

Brain training games don't help you in general. They help you become good at those specific games. The only proven brain training technique is N back tests.

Jigsaws. Helps you recognise patterns and visualise future outcomes.

>>7686046
Reading books and learning science and mathematics will do more than anything else.

I need answers

>>7685920
Cause what if the patients don't like jeans? You would have to have khaki therapy, pants therapy, skirt therapy etc.

its relatively easy to accidentally give the patient cancer

>>7685820
What singularity? You mean a black hole? How does that tie in with artificial brain material.

>>7685820
I am a monument for all your sins

>brain size =/= intelligence

How do you plan on gathering enough energy for that thing?

the force that the wall would have to exert on your body to keep you in that shit "time machine" would kill you

>>7685771
what force? you are accelerating it slowly so the person will live

at constant speed the person won't know it's spinning

STOP THE PRESSES

I feel it has become a failure in that it can be used to promote racism. We live in a gattaca-esque society but not to those extremes. Eugenics is a big part of our diet. I remember one of my Jewish teachers whose parents suffered in Germany because of their very dark skin always used to accuse Gerber of promoting racial inequality; comparable to Nazi Germany. When I was little, I had abs and was pretty buff, naturally. So we would go to places and people would start praising it. My mother hated it. She saw it as wrong for society to treat people different because of their appearance rather than smarts. It is something very malicious from a social standard because it incubates a world where one must be strong and be feared rather than loved. A brutal world that was still reverberating the ideals of the cruelty that had transpired several decades earlier. In genetics some people are born gifted. It is said that some people are able to control junk dna, which stores familiar traits a bring them from the background to the foreground. As to how this happens no one knows exactly but it happens to many as they get older. As for cloning, I remember meeting someone who kept up to date with military ideas whether ethical or not, however was still seen as important to discuss. They had this fear of cloning and how it would be used by armies around the world to create the perfect soldier. I remember we went to go see the movie the Impostor back in 2001 and they left the theatre; once he had grasped onto the premise of the film. It was not a concept many people liked nor do they like today. It is a common trend that advanced sciences are usually exploited for wars.
The human genome project was one of those things that went celebrated and kids often had to do reports on it depicting their ideas. However it came with disclaimers all around it. And this is particularly what makes genetics a failure.

>>7685766
People do not want to exceed a certain point nor create an unnatural way of life. Sure people enjoy the idea of structure in their living. But chaos is always the homeliest.

yeah

With global warming in full swing by them some of it might become Svalbard-tier

No government will let it happen because people will discover the truth about the Earth's shape.
