Perusing through old pics, and I found this.

I have not been in a Calculus class in five years, and I've forgotten damn near everything I know.

I know it has something to do with integrals; can someone give me the short-and-sweet version of what the hell this is?

Integration by parts, it's a formula for (most of the time) solving integrals which are products, like x(e^x)

warp drive.jpg
122KB, 1230x926px
Pop-scientist here, why wouldn't this reactionless warp-drive work? Assuming we can build a flywheel that can survive near light speed and have an onboard power storage that can spin it up to that speed it seems to be in full accord with Newton's laws. In case you can't read the text:

1) Telescoping link between capsules, they are free to move towards each other

2) Spherical flywheel in first capsule starts spinning. As it nears light speed from what I've heard about relativity it will start getting more massive instead of actually getting any faster

3) This mass will give it a stronger gravitational field right?

4) Both capsules now fall towards each other in accord with Newton's law of gravitation, however because the front capsule is now so much more massive it doesn't move noticeably as opposed to the rear capsule which basically blasts off towards the front capsule

5) After time, t the flywheel slows down, the masses of the two capsules becomes equal again, however the rear capsule stays in constant motion toward the front capsule because of Newton's first law

6) Once the capsule masses are equal the linkage is made to snap rigid which causes the rear capsule to transfer momentum to the front capsule

7) Because they are the same mass their new velocity is simply v/2 where v is the velocity gained by the rear capsule in it's initial gravitational acceleration

Thoughts? I say it's a warp drive because using my trusty pop-scientist's visualization of spacetime where it is a flat elastic sheet, the flywheel dents the sheet which sucks in the rear capsule but just before it gets there the dent disappears but then reappears later further down the line to repeat the process.

thats not how momentum works...
>>
>>7643470
Yes it is.... If you are going to say something isn't true at least explain why so we know you aren't talking out of your ass
>>
>>7643470
It could also work without the linkage simply bouncing into each other a la Newton's cradle. I don't see the momentum issue? If the rear capsule starts moving and hits the virtually stationary front capsule it will cause the front capsule to move, this is school tier stuff.

>>7643463
There are study databases which have only corporate interest and grants in mind. Is it so confounded to think this cuts both ways in that corporations can control both the flow and ebb of scientific information? Vaccines make a lot of money, some people would be much poorer without them existing.
>>
There was only one study ever done on vaccines being dangerous and it was proven that the evidence was made up. I have no idea why people still believe it.

If any of you fellow anons are still in college pursuing math, be sure to check which books are used. I am stuck using Larson calculus 6e, let me tell you, it is complete trash. The whole book is written as though it is trying to teach calculus to someone that already knows it. You will come across terrible descriptions and explanations in each and every chapter. The word problems are a real laugh too, you are expected to just pull upper level formulas out of your ass before you can even get to work.

Tl;Dr if a class you are planning to take uses a Larson math text book, find a different or wait till one is available that does not use this travesty of a book.

Correct, Spivak or Apostol is better.

>>7643090
Maybe your school expected you to be comfortable with calculus and also already have a strong foundation of mathematics?
>>
>>7643090
I completely disagree. I'm not sure about that edition, but I used that book when I was learning calculus and it gives plenty of examples and problems for you to do.

If you aren't getting it, I recommend you find a video of somebody explaining what you don't understand. Math textbooks can be hard to read sometimes.

How well accepted in the scientific community are Danny Vendramini's theories on Neanderthal biology? I realize he's a bit of a crack-head because of his "human/ape war" theories. However, I'm just wondering about his general claims.

Bump for interest. Gimme a tl;dr if you could, friend

>>7643010
I don't think the scientific community pays attention to such sensationalist pseudoscience other than to point out the many claims it makes without evidence and the fact that it is not a scientific "theory" at all.
>>
>>7643034

TL;DR

Everything museums and documentaries say about how neanderthals looked is bullshit.

Ice Age Europe was the most inhospitable period of all time for life on earth, so the idea that a pink-skinned, hairless human could survive and breed there is retarded. Also, all our facial recognition software we use on their skulls is modeled after humans, despite neanderthals being RELATED to humans, not actually being humans. Therefor, they were nothing like us, and were more like purely carnivorous, northern gorillas.

If a planet with massive oceans got abundant fractures to a very great depth, and ended up having those fractures fill with water which then froze, then somehow lost water, it could have truly massive cave systems.

Serious question:
Why don't we know for certain there's life on other planets? If only microbial. The recipe for life is literally just heat and liquid water, right?
If Ganymede has an icy surface and liquid underneath, which we know because of geysers, it has to be heated to keep it liquid? So there should theoretically definitely be some sort of life, right?

>The recipe for life is literally just heat and liquid water, right?

No, not really. Not even close

>>7642914
Obviously there's more to it but that's just the very basics of what's needed and that's what Ganymede has, correct?
>>
>>7642897
>it has to be heated to keep it liquid?

No, not really.

As long as the pressure's right, water below 0 can be liquid.

I've got this online class i've thrown 80 dollars into and I'm starting to fuck it up. I feel like I'm losing control of this class and I don't know if I can juggle it with my shitty retail job and other online class anymore. I just want to be able to continue my education after graduation. I didn't even get a job in my field (electrical engineering) and I've been trying to keep my spirits up, but all of this shit's coming down. I don't wanna give up but how the fuck do I deal.

I personally used it a lot for math, it's a nice slow and intuitive lesson taught by someone with nice handwriting and explains things throughly. While I don't think it should replace a real class, it's a good review and brushes up on concepts you might kind of understand but things that aren't worth asking the professor about.

it's really slow and easy so plebs think they are smart by using it. In reality it is useless because you learn almost nothing, and the guy teaching doesn't even understand it properly
