>>a perpetual machine is impossible due to the first law of thermodynamics
>Dude, how retarded is that?
>The first law is simply "You can't", and people who defend that idea say it as if God himself that wrote that down.
>I'm not saying that a perpetual machine already exists or that it's going to good enough to be worth the space it uses while generating energy(and it will eventually need maintenance too), but denying the possibility of a perpetual machine ever existing because of that is just dumb to me.

t. someone who's taken at most high school level physics

please read a book before posting again

Could you actually explain why you think it's dumb rather than just saying it is dumb because it's dumb?

>>9092520
Because I don't see the sense in people who deny the possibility by saying "the first thermodynamics law say it's impossible, therefore it is", when we don't even really know how gravity even exists.

bro, i dont know whrere you heard that but its totally false

>we're in a simulation
true, but there is no real life for you to wake up into. We exist only within the simulation

>>9097113
>It's pretty much guaranteed that we're in a simulation
Based on what?

Point to myself and say my name.
Point to myself and another person and say "human".

Take out my shittiest camera and take one or two unfocused images then tell no one about it until a few years.

Whats the difference between whats described in that picture and INTJs?

>>9096338
Depresion, inability to make simple thing over search high level answers, long reflexive moments, poor social skills.

Looks like INTP

>>9096346
INTJ get things done.
Makes profit avoid research

I haven't studied it in depth but if you're an engineer you might use it all the time. Wave mechanics is absolutely full of it, and by extension so is quantum mechanics if that's your thing. Pretty sure anything that involves any kind of signal (electronics, sound processing, vibrations) makes use of complex functions.

>>9094419
complex numbers do not behave as nicely as real numbers so there is a lot and I mean A LOT of crazy shit going on around the complex plane.

You should learn it simply as a hobby. What justification do you need to learn complex analysis man?

>>9094419
Walter Rudin: real and complex analysis is the book you mi=ust read.

The point of complex analysis is to realize that contrary to what happens with real defined functions, when a map form comple numbers to complex numbers has a derivative (same definition as in the real case), then it has also a lot of surprising yet extremely interesting properties: Cauchy Formula, identity theorem, Rouché theorem about the localisation of its roots etc etc.
Complex analysis is a rigid but magical world.

>Saying there’s evidence rape sexbots may significantly increase the chance of rape to real women, the law should “no longer stand by and blindly ignore a major potential problem by doing nothing,” he said in an email to The College Fix.
yea because violent video games produce tons of murderers? He's blowing this out his ass for publicity

>>9093903

it has nothing to do with rape. realistic sexbots mean fewer kids, which goes against state interests.

>>9093913
no one who buys and uses a sex bot was going to have kids to begin with. It's also not the responsibility of the state to limit something based on a subjective "what if" statement

Stop being a faggot

Well, good for him. Maybe he learned his lesson about why gold diggers are a bad idea but then again, odds are in a week he'll be with Tila Tequila or some shit.

wut

>Lead on a gold digger at the prime of her sexual inclination towards him
>Get a refund when the goods get used
I think a guy as smart as that had it all laid out from the start

It's lethal

Bad enough for you to mistake the extreme sadness you receive after getting so much dopamine, for depression

Only this can stop the Jews.

I think it's sad that you're so emotionally invested in politics that you legitimately dislike people who prefer to use a different energy source you want to

This was when oil was over $100 a barrel. Today it's half that, coal and natural gas are also record lows.

I see a lot of claims in this board about people with 140+ IQs or even people in the 160+ IQ, and I generally laugh. When I see those numbers used I know for a fact that I'm talking with:

1) Someone who does not know how much of a statistical anomaly those numbers are.

2) Someone who is narcissistic enough to not be able to see his(her) own limitations and actually(falsely) believes to be the next Einstein.

I'm not claiming that genius do not exist, I'm just saying that today it's much more likely to find a stupid person blind to his own limitations than to find an actual genius. The other point, about people in this board not understanding how high is 140 IQ will be illustrated below:

Most IQ classifications divide people into categories like "average" or "low average" or "gifted", they associate each category with an IQ range like (90 - 110). The fun fact is that most classifications don't even bother to create any category above 130+, since in the real world anything above 130 is very rare. It's crazy how so much people here think that they need to lie about having 180 IQ when in real life 130 already a really big number.

>>9096343
1/2 of a person out of 100 people have an 140+ iq
That isn't a statistical anatomy

>>9096343
Above 130 things start to fall apart. It's really fucky for kids since their brains can process concepts they can't emotionally process at the time, and they can be a bit obsessive over things. A lot of 130+ people end up being underachievers if they don't have the proper support for it. IQ also means jackshit after a point since if you are smart enough you can game them, since the questions follow a pattern, and they lack any sort of internal consistency due to different standards by different tests.

He discovered the theory of relativity which states that the faster you go, the less time it takes to get places. time slips away at the speed of light. The speed of light is sort of the speed limit of the universe.

So the short answer is yes

>>9096207
Some people say it was more of his imagination at play opposed to smarts. It's debatable really.

I'm also interested. I'll be starting my master's after the summer break, and I truly do plan to not procrastinate, do my coursework in time, and start studying on time. But I've had those plans many times before and never kept them.
One thing that helps obviously is to not visit 4chan and other useless websites. I have to very consciously suppress the impulse to just type ctrl-T 4chan but I'm getting there.

I would respond to your question but I'm having an autistic fit over that image.
