He doesn't have ALS

>>9028751
i doubt anyone hasn't checked but it really is intriguing

>inb4 they perform an autopsy and see he had some benign growth in his brain that could've been removed and he could've spent his life walking

I thought he was like 90

Certainly religious institutions can and do change their minds, but usually only after external pressures are so overwhelming that it becomes a PR problem not to.

>>9028683

but surely some still do change their minds on logic and evidence. or probably a mix of both this rationality and the pressure.

Anon...

are we talking about beef or caribou?

>>9028311
Any meat. My curiosity arose regarding carcinogens in meat. I was thinking of what would be the healthiest way to eat meat. Lean meat like deer would be interesting.

>>9028307
In a more general sense, dried foods per cubic meter are more densely packed because they're dehydrated, which tends to have a shrinking effect, but I'm not sure about health benefits

>Math - just quiet, nice people. Like cats. Maybe a little too introverted; I often seem to scare them away. Curious lack of interest for personal gains.

When I walk in a hall that I know is full of normies I start walking autisticaly to be sure none of them will talk to me.

Biochem, US, small uni

CS- not offered.

Math- very few of them but all were very smart, reserved, good people overall.

Physics- weirdos. I dont even mean in a mean way, just bad at socializing, bad at conversation, a couple of these kids were your definition of neckbeards obsessed with girls, thinking of themselves as "nice guys"

Biology- 90% of them are premed tryhards who only care about money, prestige, or making their parents happy. Most hate theory, hate learning, hate studying, and are shitty academics in general. Think they are better than everyone else

Engineering- Down to earth industry people. Also after money but not completely obsessed with it. Enjoy solving problems

EE- not offered

Cognitive science/kinesiology (sp?)- athletes who are really dumb and get boosted through classes even if they dont actually pass

Chemistry- Hardest major offered at my school, they are all extremely friendly and love talking chem, dont give a fuck about anyone else around them.

Philosophy- tryhard numales who liked to say they are in STEM

>>9026009
yes, but it is still a viable energy source. Like how pepe is a meme but he is still a frog anyway.

>>9026009
it's alright to use by individual households
not nearly enough to power the world with current technology and resources

Ok here's a little task to distinguish brainlets from brainmores

1) How is solar power measured and what is the average power density per square meter?

2) Is there a limit to solar energy conversion from current tech and how would you derive it?

3) How much energy does it take to warm 1 L of water from 300 K to 335 K?

If you can answer these 3 questions, you will know if it's a meme or not.

I don't understand intelligence worship in the first place.

You're literally just lauding someone for being lucky. We don't worship lottery winners, why should we worship geniuses?

They make the world more interesting

because someone like Jansci isn't born everyday

this is what Eugene Wigner had to say about Von Neumann


""I have known a great many intelligent people in my life. I knew Planck, von Laue and Heisenberg. Paul Dirac was my brother in law; Leo Szilard and Edward Teller have been among my closest friends; and Albert Einstein was a good friend, too. But none of them had a mind as quick and acute as Jansci [John] von Neumann. I have often remarked this in the presence of those men and no one ever disputed me.

... But Einstein's understanding was deeper even than von Neumann's. His mind was both more penetrating and more original than von Neumann's. And that is a very remarkable statement. Einstein took an extraordinary pleasure in invention. Two of his greatest inventions are the Special and General Theories of Relativity; and for all of Jansci's brilliance, he never produced anything as original."

Gray is not a color in a spectrum, so I would say no. But if you create a faint white laser, it may look grayish on a black background.

>>9028638
Aren't shades of gray all somewhere in between white and black, making it part of a spectrum? the white to black spectrum?

>>9028625
You can't create a gray laser, but you can create a gay laser that turns the freaking frogs gay. Just asks the leftists.

It also means we exist in both a first, second, third, fourth and fifth dimension simultaneously.

Am I wrong???

Someone please help me here.

If I'm right it means I'm somehow going completely insane and yet perfectly understand everything I'm talking about at the same time.

Why am I begging people to help me understand something I already get?

damn japs

she will amount to nothing, just like every other media paraded "genius child"

>>9027421
OP here,

Einstein and Hawking never took an IQ test. How can they claim she is 'smarter' than them? I read an article that says "Einstein is thought to have an IQ of 160", how is this even news? This is trash.

Plus her score is out of a SD of 24 (iirc) not 15.

No senpai.

Actually, Earth can sustain the humans, not the system... It only consumes and destroys

I agree man. As a white man, I think we need to urge other whites to stop having kids and shit so we can support our African brothers and other peoples of color. And if that don't work then shit, maybe us whites need to get smoked, you know what I'm saying?

A lot of people need to die. Like 66%

There's a bit more to this story, basically Yau supported two guys who claimed they had proved the conjecture using perelman's ideas when in reality they were just filling in some of the gaps of the proof, this didn't sit well with perelman

>>9009667
So is Yau a good guy or not?

>>9030248
I would pay 5 dollars just for the novelty. At 5 dollars, I'd need to win 3 flips to profit which is reasonable chances. I don't know what the expected value is without making a table but it's probably around 3 dollars.

>>9030248
Isn't that the martingale "gambling method"?

>>9030248
Zero. it's obviously a scam since the expected value is infinite. The game cannot be played as promised.

>Eagleworks needs to go, they enabled this bullshit like all the other pseudoscientific sci-fi crap like warp drive that they legitimize to the story-hungry media with the NASA logo. They have produced nothing of value ever.
Seriulsy. They reported a thrust, and then I never heard anything again. Wtf happened? Was it just to get people interested in NASA?

>>9030194
Except they didn't, they reported a thrust that was "within our error bars but we think it's interesting" and popsci ran with that.

>>9030189
Big fucking surprise. Only idiots fell for it, which is why it was called the memedrive in the first place
