"Spaceships: An illustrated history of the real and the imagined" by Ron Miller is a beautiful "coffee-table" book of illustrated ship designs> My favorites are the beautiful works from the collaboration of W von Braun and the Disney artists. Not technical at all, but visually inspiring.

>>9038565
I can recommend something, but what part of the spacecraft design you're interested in? The area is huge. What you mean by reference? Visual reference? For existing spacecraft, or fictional ones? Be more specific

>>9038651
Thanks senpai.

>>9038691
Right. Real space habitation structures.

Looking to see how one would go about designing:
>Modules
>Forces on said modules during takeoff
>how to model these in finite element software
>maintaining air tightness
>connection details between modules
>required power generation & arrangement of cells
>solar panel arrangement and typical design calculations (for estimation)
>radiator placement and requirements (estimation)
>general FOS for component design and guidance on the basis of design

That determinant of a transformation describes how many times larger is the area of the transformed shape.

When I realized that I was lied to my entire childhood and that I wasn't special, never will be, I'll never be rich and successful and that I'll go to school, work for a degree and then underachieve for the rest of my life while barely scraping by financially and that corrupt politicians will continue to fuck over the entire world for no reason but greed while regular people get screwed on things like healthcare and other stuff, and that that's how life goes until you die or kill yourself.

I had this "eureka moment" in my very early 20s.

shit man we just got some new info, could use more help w/ this --- go join the discord, yeah ?

on the wayyyyyy

Daily reminder that 3301 was a recruitment program for NSA which became public on the BlackHat conference that same year.
Everything after the first one is larping idiots.

Good, now we get to have seasons up here in Maine.

>tfw top half of Canada becomes habitable

>>9044909
No way to know the effects of this. Models are very imperfect.


Likely it will be bad for many. Also might be awesome. Ocean acidification not a good thing. Fuck.

Someone tell me how this might turn out alright for everyone?

>>9044884
>>energy
gasoline
>>gravity
the ground

So like physicists are excited about force unification cause gasoline comes from the ground

>>9044884
energy is like uuummmmpphhh~~
gravity is like waaaaaaa~~

together BRRRRRRAAAAAAPPPPP

I'll just leave this here so you can browse for some better bait.

I was actually disappointed at the resolution they have, but it is cool.

They should photograph Uranus. No seriously. We've not been there in a long time and it's strange as hell given that it is tilted the wrong way.

NASA ain't gonna send a mission to it because of it's goddamn name. Fucking hell, like the Mongols call it sky king world, which is way more badass than the name some stupid german picked

The intelligent people you meet are probably in academia and are therefore the rejects of society

wtf samantha bee is the smartest person i know now?!

im funny

The gaussian distribution can be written as sinusoids.

idk man the taylor series for e^z can be decomposed into some sin and cos shit nigga

>>9044539
Fine. What about other, totally circle-unrelated equations, that have Pi in them... why is Pi there? What does Pi have to do with things that have nothing to do with circles?

No thank you.

upon further research, apparently it's like a shotgun blast. im so tempted to buy one but 40 bucks...

Oh, I didn't realize there was a rule to this, okay thanks.

Also I found this image on wikipedia and it looks like it's saying current flows from positive to negative but I always thought it was the opposite. What is the deal, here?

Yes

it goes
blacks < whites < asians < ashkenazi jews

Everything is equally evolved, from the lowest beetle to the smartest human.

If, however, you mean something along the lines of, "Have Africans genetically preserved an ancient phenotype?" then the answer is a resounding, "Probably."

Homo ergaster of 1.2 million years ago had exactly the same receptor protein as sub-Saharan Africans. In addition, computer calculations of what humans looked like 70,000 years ago (by analyzing skull structure, etc.) are virtually indistinguishable from modern-day Africans. There are two pieces of a vast and growing body of evidence in the same direction.

So if an African gentleman tells you he's "more human" than Europeans, he may be onto something, however unaware of the implications of that claim.

>>9044133
Do you mean genetic distance?
If so, yes.

>>9044020
>lazy
then you are prolly not smart to begin with

I have a high IQ

>>9044031
Congrats, most High IQ folks end up like that and never amount to anything in life.

>>9043863
what's your point, im willing to bet most people here already knew this before "ifuckinglovescience" decided to make a facebook post about it

>>9043877
I don't know what I fuckinglovescience is, but I read about this a couple days ago too.

>>9043863
That is a bit misleading. Their eggs can survive like that. Not the tardis themselves.

What's up with all the anime girls?

So, why isn't it just a "postgraduate thread"?

I did a masters in theoretical computer science, followed by two years of research in that area. I couldn't find a PhD spot that sufficiently interested me, and now I do more applied research in industry designing new cryptosystems, that is more engineering than real research.

>>9043386

i'm 26 and an undergraduate, i will gladly shit up your thread op
