have you tried having an emotionally fulfilling life?

>>8963475
You're not bisexual. You're just a faggot.

>>8963503
Yes. Every goal I make I fail. I move from failure to failure, aging and getting fatter.

>shouldn't everything planets collapse into the sun
No, because centripetal forces are balanced against gravity.

>every electron collapse into the proton/neutron nucleus??
This is a bit more complicated. Classically it was understood as the same idea as above. However the more modern understanding is that the electron has no definite position until it's measured. On measurement the distribution of possible positions collapses to a single, definite position. The most likely position is the Bohr radius, while the average position is 3a/2, where a is the Bohr radius. Now given the nucleus has a finite size, there is a small but non-zero probability of finding the electron within the radius of the nucleus, ie. theres a small probability of finding the electron is inside the nucleus.

Keep in mind that a dipoles attraction is proportional to 1/r3

It's a matter of gravity vs. centripetal force. You're right to some extent in that '''eventually''' everything orbiting any given object will, if uninterrupted, fall into the gravitational center, but centripetal force holds it out for a while, and the result is orbit.

you should probably be scared of computers, anon. people literally take sand and ore from our precious Earth and turn them into machines for human pleasure. it's just not natural.

gmos are bad. not in principle but do to the ecological consequences of the agricultural practice genetic modification is used to support.
the "gmo causes cancer" issue is a starwman problem that the agrochem "public realations" industry directs attention to in order to distract from the issues that people should rationally concerned about
th people saying that GMOs are fine have been bamboozled and are acting smug about it

There's no reason to be bothered with GMO's.
Current GMO strategies are based on inserting a piece of DNA into the crop, which then either lets the crop produce a protein or compound (via injection of synthesis pahtway) or it destroys a certain gene.
Look up bt cotton for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bt_cotton

There is no evidence that suggests GMO's are harmful, but caution does need to be taken of course.
There are classical crop breeding programs which try to make better varieties of crops through classical hybridizing, but this is just too slow (20 years). Compared to a genetically manipulated variety (which can be made in ~5 years and has profound effects on yield almost always), there's just no comparison.

pseudoscience.

sleep is not a well understood phenomenon. fucking with sleep to claim you are raising productivity is a weak claim

>>8962155
>Is it psuedoscience or legitimate?
if it's only in an infographic, and not in any journals, then it's pseudoscience

nope, it's never been done, still an open problem

By far his best work.

get cancer and die from it

>>8961849
-1/12

that should give that incurable cancer,or talk about infinity in plebian terms that should do it.

explain it the way you learned it, brainlet

Couldnt you just heat the whisky until it reaches methanol's boiling point, and measure how much mass is lost ?

I considered re-distilling early on, but the issue would be as follows

A. it would require opening every individual bottle of spirit, and since re-bottling isn't available it wouldn't be sustainable or financially viable
B. batches are small, often from a single household, to effectively re-distil the spirit I would have to blend a number of batches together to complete this process en-masse.
The villagers trade moonshine on reputation, sellers with more valuable moonshine wouldn't participate as it would effectively create a base price
C. I can get access to accurate thermometers, but fuel here is on the form of charcoal so reaching the precise kind of temperatures required would probably result in waste
D. because of low accuracy I would have to distil a large sample

your tounge

You fucked up by having med/latino/asian parents.

>>8960678
I fucked up by having manlet genes you don't say?
There has to be something to fix this.

>>8960681
In the future yea but you got cucked by being born now. Just live your life as a beta virgin "big" boy.

Work out.
Eat healthy.
Fixed sleep pattern.
When anxiety attack comes up, find a mechanism that works for you (without meds) that makes you calm the fuck down ASAP. I use a meditative pose and breathe in/out very controlled and slowly and I've basically gotten over them and can control them whenever they come up now.

Also: critically evaluate your own life, do some introspection. Could there be a reason you have anxiety? Addressing that problem and working towards facing your fears or getting rid of that situation might be extremely beneficial.

You need an active lifestyle that you will continually have to brush up on (you'll never be done with working on yourself), but it's a hell of a lot better than to feel like you're getting crushed by your own thought of impending doom

>>8960578
I had anxiety once.

Holidays helped reduce it until it was basically gone.

>>8960605
> meditative pose
could you provide more info on that? I'm interested.

Not true according to my personal experience because all the people that are good in math that I know dont play a single instrument and all the dumb fucks that cant even do 7th grade algebra play a lot of instruments or are in a band, sing etc. It helps if you are good though because I learned the guitar pretty easy when I was 7 but dropped it after 2 years because I didnt like it.

Strangely it is quite common that people with a medical degree often are musicians.

You might want to look up the inverted omega, pic. related.

>>8959106
Dunno about that but you might find a correlation there since I am pretty sure raising kids to play music is a parenting technique that makes kids smarter. It teaches nuance and patience and focus and shit. So I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people in smart fields know how to play.

Far better opportunities to get a job than a fucking liberal farts or sociology or some humanities degree bullshit including English

PhD is not a meme if you want to do research in academia or tech industry. For any non-research positions it's completely unneeded and you'd be better off getting work experience instead of being a source of cheap labor for professors.

>>8954899
>Cheap labour
Post docs are cheaper :^)

Question: how can we realistically expect climate change to affect the world in the coming years? It has become increasingly hard to parse through the mountains of bullshit told by politically motivated entities, I just want a clear answer from an expert in the field.

>Thoughts on the Paris accord
>Keep discussion /sci/ related
This is inherently a /pol/-type question. My general thoughts are this:

>Climate change probably exists
>Climate change is probably caused by humans
>Anyone bringing up "muh 97%" is doing more harm than good because this suppresses differing opinions, which is the antithesis of science. People in general are more concerned about fitting in than they are about the truth, so this makes people who might otherwise dissent keep their mouths shut.
>Given that the Paris Accord is non-binding for everyone involved, it's utterly pointless and retarded. We'd just end up keeping our end, and "developing nations" breaking theirs. But hey, at least they got billions of dollars of taxpayer money!! Pretending to do something to feel good isn't the same as doing something.

You have not proven yourself to be self-aware, so I would be wasting my time proving myself, since you would not be able to understand it anyways.
