Imagine how cold and reptilian the world was before mammals and birds. Nothing but machine like life that didn't care, didn't love, didn't think. Just eating, pooping machines.

So who would win in a fight to the death, anomalocaris or sea scorpion?

They're fighting over who gets to take hallucigenia out to the prom.

Depends what you mean by nice and what kind of graph theory. You use it for all kind of physical, topological, algebraical or stochastical problems (for example Markov Chains, Random walks on graphs etc). If you like to work with combinatorial tools and matrices. Yes why not?

Yeah I like it, download neo4j, graphs look nice.

NO IT'S MEAN! This is now a mean thread!

And yes, this doesn't necessarily support only a Christian God but it does account for the existence of divinity and explains consciousness which evolutionary scientists can't explain. It seems really childish in the absence of any other explanations to dismiss our view of the nature of man as "hurr durr all religion is retarded". Not baiting but if you have atheistic stubbornness you should really try lsd or psilocybin because being hostile to anything that contradicts your worldview isn't a good virtue.

to expand a bit on the arguement in OP, it's having this physical form that I think hides the true nature of man from most people. When I talk to people about this they seem to feel kinship with animals, they just see themselves as being more advanced cattle. I'd like you to take a minute to just think of human consciousness and what it really is, and realise what we are in relation to cows or chickens. They're nothing compared to us. They're a collection of instincts, emotions and senses.

>theory that a divine being created the universe and mankind in its own image?
It's not scientific.

I don't know how /sci/ feels about philosophy...

very far away

yes

yes

>>8994016
No the more we "advance" the more complicated our society becomes and we make more mistakes. These mistakes will culminate in the destruction of society as we know it, leading the people who would have been researchers to die or become farmers/hunters/scavengers instead.

you equipotential lines and field lines? it is still common. This is what I learned when I took all my electromagnetics courses as an an undergrad.

>>8993099
I don't mean the potential.
I mean to ask what happened to the field conjugate to magnetism present in the older electrical texts.

>>8993117
What do you mean by conjugate to magnetism? Your picture only depicts the field lines and potential lines. Moreover, this example you show is a static dipole field. There is no magnetism present in a static dipole field. (Would need permanent magnets or large scale charge flow.)

>Why this shithead famous?
because he has a high IQ

>Has this shit head done anything of real value?
no, but you can attempt to read his CTMU if you want, I've never seen anyone able to obtain anything of intellectual worth from it

> Why is everyone jerking him off?
who? normies have certainly never heard of him

>>8992532
iq becomes less and less as the number increases

Are you trying to say it has diminishing returns?

round up

no one post an answer please

>>8991999
Ah right so they're just rounding up. Got it

the most important fitness indicators are resting heart rate and body fat percentage.. so do cardio and don't eat like a piglet. also people with higher muscle mass have an easier time reducing their body fat, so strength training is good too. /fit/ people are mostly concerned with getting big which isn't bad in and of itself, but you can't neglect training cardio if you actually want to be healthy.

Thin frame and squats using the smith machine!

Weights for endorphins = good times for your brain. Cardio for blood flow and further endorphins. Low bodyfat for lack of depression which fucks with your brain. Vitamins all accounted for otherwise your energy will suffer. About 8 hours good sleep in a completely dark room to get the benefits of that.

How do you obtain consensus?

That's lockheed martin, they're trying a design that's already been tried. It failed before, no surprise if it fails again.

Lockheed's fusion effort is just a publicity stunt.
>>There's literally 0% chance
show your math ass hole

>>Should we divert all energy research funds to new fission ideas like molten salt reactors instead?
No. If you diverted fusion funding for MSRs you'd barely have any funding at all.

I will say this though, clean coal and carbon capture research are a waste. Clean coal is a scam designed to extend the life of an energy source that should have been killed decades ago. Carbon capture ends up being more expensive than nuclear because of the thermodynamics of removing carbon. If we're gonna divert money to fucking crazy nuclear plant designs it should be from that.

>In particular there seems to be a common theme running thought it that you need evidence that something doesn't exist. Now to my mind that doesn't make sense since how can something that doesn't exist ever leave behind evidence that it was never there.
You can't know if something was 'never' there, but you can know if something is not there currently, simply by something else being there

>>8995907
>that you need evidence that something doesn't exist.
but absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence

>>8995927
Instead of trotting out your ebbin Carl Sagon maymay, why not engage with the argument? What would the evidence of something not existing look like? I mean if it doesn't exist, how can it interact with the universe to leave evidence?

idk every time I looked at fortran code in my compilers course shit looked really weird.

but i'm not saying it's bad.

Also C++ isn't shit, kys

>>8995833
C++ is huge and messy. It means you won't know how to use it properly. For smaller tasks that doesn't really matter though.

>>8995862
>>8995858
I'm not saying anything about C++, I'm just saying that /g/ were busy bickering over how shit/not-shit it was, so no one responded.

>>8995805
There isn't, ((((they)))) just don't want you to reach the greys and attain information that could potentially ruin the elites' monopoly on un-earthed knowledge. The liberals have been lying to you all this time. The republicans are the truth. The moon landing was fake. Buzz Aldrin is a coconut.

The weight of the air above presses on the air below, making the air below more dense. Air is 14 PSI because if you took a column of air one square inch all the way up to space, it would weigh 14 pounds. If you're on a mountain, there's less air above you because you're closer to space.

>>8995805
because the concavity of the earth holds the air like a bowl, and any air above the rim of the earth spills out
