>There are also four branches of physics, classical, quantum physics, general relativity and of course special relativity.
what about string theory?

>>9047392
Idk isn't that just quantum?

Special relativity is a special case of general relativity (hence the name). Classical mechanics is just a limit of quantum mechancis.

3/4 of the forces you listed are described via quantum field theory. Gravity described (classically) by general relativity.

>>9047394
String Theory encompasses everything, at least in principle. In practice it can describe gravity and electromagnetism at quantum scales, the nuclear forces (i.e. non-abelian gauge theories) are still somewhat difficult to work with in the context of String Theory.

Hahaha that guys head looks like a dick

>>9046384
Yes, math

Is computational logic different from argumentative logic? What do they have in common?

>>9046105
Ideally, argumentative logic would be an application of computational logic

>>9046103
One cannot define logic scientifically, though one can scientifically show how logical statements are processed/ computed.

This thread doesn't belong here.

A thread died for this

>>9046055
So why didn't you save it if it was that good? Anyhow I think anti-science is a big thing in school

I was thought Myers-Briggs and Freud as well without any discussion whatsoever if they are science or not

are you mentally handicapped?

Cell biology

>>9045590
Kidney anatomy and physiology

Inter-universal Teichmüller theory

We should all use Kelvin

Farenheit is better for common things we use it for: cooking, air temperature measurement at human living temperatures. We switch over whenever we do science.

>>9045455
The stupidest country of all is Canada because they use Celsius for the weather and Fahrenheit for cooking. Generally they mix imperial and metric units in day to day life.

Ironically enough, your thread is more philosophy than science, which makes you a pseudo-intellectual

This is why you have to spend all your time working, so you can get into an elite PhD program where the scientists are actual level-headed, well-rounded professionals. Obviously if you hang out in the sewer of the internet and the second-rate cow colleges of the university system you're not going to be in good company.

I'll keep this thread unhidden for the rare possibility someone finds something of value in this paper, but I highly doubt it

I never knew people with genius IQ could be basically retarded. Did anyone see him on 1 vs. 100? It was a fucking joke.

>Why does science progress despite nihilism?
because religious scientists don't fall for the nihilism meme

>>9044767
>meme
It's literally the only scientifically supported ideology. I e it's the truth

>>9044819
What's the science supporting nihilism?

>>9044182
doesn't matter. distinction between the two is mostly unimportant

>>9044220
that sounds kinda dumb considering most if not all software utilizes applied mathematics in a myriad of fields.

>>9044182
Applied is just pure with ways around the hiccups

>>9043958
Thing is man, nobody really knows how consciousness works or where it comes from. So... y'know, it could just be an emergent phenomenon of complexity, and... well, figure it out.

"AI is a fundamental, existential threat to civilization" - Elon Musk

https://www.c-span.org/video/?431119-6/elon-musk-addresses-nga

>>9043958
Elon musk is a doomsayer. It's nothing new.

If you believe him he started spacex because he is afraid humanity will die out soon if we don't colonize other planets fast.

He started an electric car company bc of global warming.

He started neuralink because he's afraid of AI and thinks humans should just become AI instead.

But the thing is. AI is uncharted territory, you're asking us to make a risk assessment about something we have no clue how to even build.
The arguments make sense on a superficial level but once you think about them they're really not all the likely.

We're really not even close to the point we need to start worrying about this.

I really wish the guys at OpenAI would educate him about this more. But I guess it's safer to suck your boss's dick than to refuse.

already have, next

but we lack physical characteristics to eat meat, not to mention it kills us. This is all according to biologists and anthorpologists. Am i just mistaken?

>>9046376
Tbh slightly. Meat consumption nowadays is 100% a problem and is terrible for our health. Eating meat absolutely every day is not good for humans but no meat is just as bad. If you deny this then you're denying the fact we've been hunting and preparing meat for hundreds of thousands of years. In saying this, eating it everyday is not good for reasons you probably know (the whole vegan arguments etc, i know them too).

Think of it this way if you're of European descent. How did your ancestors survive the harsh winters for hundreds of thousands of years? They hunted and ate meat. They only managed this though once they killed the animal, not running over to the grocery store and buying chicken wings which are probably full of all kinds of shit too. Vegan and non-meat diet can only be maintained thanks to transport. If there is a global catastrophe, you bet we're going to eat meat when we can because who's going to import your bananas?
It's not meat that's the problem it's not eating locally. If you're really worried about your health and eating meat etc, set up your own farm.

If OP tries to talk to a female of this species it and it rejects him, we'll know it developed through natural means

>>9044793
stop projecting bruh

>>9044768
It is possible to compare the species to its nonGM relatives and look for something unusual in its genetics, though you would need an expert to confirm it.

yep

They don't. Trees need a Brain first to understand language.
A Brain which at least the size of a Dog's Brain.

& For advanced math & physics you need to have much bigger brains than that.
