There are no satellites in space, just under sea cables, ground based radar systems, cell towers, radio waves and telephone lines.

Shouldn't most of the satellites be in geosynchronous orbit at the equator? Otherwise how would I get my TV with my little dish (facing south)?

Only the spy / scientific / gps satellites need to move around like that.

Anki is the tits. Great for studying.
I still think the most effective route to retaining information is applying it in some way. E.g, using a word in a sentence will be more effective than reading it on 300+ times on anki over the course of a year.

>>9030299

really depends what youre study. spaced repetition is very good in general (and here are some papers evaluating study methods if you want) but id say only use anki to memorise specific facts in quite a rigid way e.g. for medicine, anatomy.

That's a lot of mass to move around ...

Carbon nanotubes, very small diameter (enough for analyzer device) should suffice.

>>9029997
You're an engineer and you don't know how stresses and disturbances propagate through material? That isn't a rigid body. When you push one side, the other side doesn't move an inch until the disturbance has propagated to the other side, which moves at the speed of sound.

You DO understand they're containment threads, for when the /pol/tards leave their fuzzy hugbox, right?

imo

I dabble in physics and philosphy for fun, but I really dont grasp alot of things concerning quantum mechanics. What is the general consensus of the scientific community regarding the double slit experiment? Is it really spooky observer stuff or is that a meme? Also what are the main elements in quantum studies that make the field un reconcilable with classical physics? And how exactly does something like string theory solve these problems?

>>9032143
"Observer" has absolutely nothing to do with consciousness. We have this thread every fucking day. Now fuck off back to /x/.

Dark matter is a meme invented to """explain""" flawed theories

Yeah that's what I'm thinking lmao

>Recent genetic research have demonstrated that Neanderthals contributed at least 1-4% to the non-African genome. Aspie Quiz have demonstrated in a large survey in the US population that Afroamericans have only 1/6 of the autism incidence of non-African groups.

And are you just meandering along browsing 4chan day-in day-out or are you actually aware of the power you have and apply it to help shape the history of humanity?
People literate in IT / the Internet are critical. Politicians won't solve anything for us.
I'm just not sure if we deserve to survive but I think probably we'll simply find out within our lifetime.
Fuck your financial ambitions and your daily smartphone, gaming and TV entertainment btw.

Mass extinctions are not instant
a technological civilization is very hard to kill

We're already working on making bases off earth, if there comes a time that there's a very blatant threat to humanity, more money will be thrown towards developing said bases

we got all the tech we need to go full space age, just no political or financial will to do so, since scamming stupid people and making imaginary money off of other imaginary money is more lucrative than benefiting the world

true humanity will die, and those that live will probably be the scum of society and rootless multinationals, but if you want the human species to live on, it is guaranteed that it shall
