Linear has too much disgusting notation for me to appreciate it. Calculus is more aesthetic with integrals and series. It also has a fuckload of application.

>>8957516
i haven't done linear algebra yet, but i have used calculus more and more in my day to day life just to have an advantage over plebs, so calculus i'd say.

however, it depends on how much linear algebra raises my power level, then i'd have to decide

>>8957516
Linear Algebra.
I find calculus boring as hell.

I quitted in your mom and just look what happened.

What do you mean?

Ever notice facial composites tend to a visibly above attractive mean?

>>8962224
Facial symmetry may be one universally desirable trait, but look at all the other physical variation in those face.

>>8962226
Not a single composite in that picture can be really considered unattractive. If you consider one better than another that is just preference. Objective beauty in the ideal platonic sense exists and we seek it out hoping to materialize it into flesh with our breeding patterns.

Alright, just trying to ballpark it here, if anyone is more knowledgable about this topic than me feel free to make corrections.
A proton and antiproton each have a mass of around 1.67x10-27 kg. The total energy of a particle with rest mass m moving at velocity v is E=γmc2, where γ is the fraction 1/[1-(v/c)2 ]. Assuming the particles are nearly at rest (unrealistic, but you can try plugging in a value of v yourself to see how it effects the numerical result, you have each particle contributing an energy of E=mc2 =1.67x10-27 x (3x108 )2 . Evaluating that and multiplying by 2, you get 3.002x10-10 Joules.
Running this through google, it's pretty close to the 1.88 GeV reported by Fermilab. In reality, these protons could be moving very quickly, which would scale this result by the gamma factor mentioned above.

We don't have any source of it and creating it in a particle accelereator is almost hilariously energy inefficient.
Moreover Antimatter is also basically the most dangerous stuff in the universe. Storing and handling it in any quantity above individual atoms seems like a good way to accidentally nuke an entire area.

>>8961763
>almost
Scratch that. Don't know how it got there. It is hilariously energy inefficient.

I'll tell you why I ask, but you won't understand, i'm alone in this feeling. The feeling of wanting small, hard nuggets of enamel biting at every part of your skin, your tongue, your balls, your cock - without the numb bluntness of a full set of them clamping down of course, i've tried like that and it doesn't even come close to what I imagine it could be/should be.
Basically through years of social manipulation i've collected social ties with a set of women such that I am almost sure I can get them to take my seed, and I am going to take any steps to induce whatever condition would cause this in the spawn, I will have a large sample size of which to experiment and refine the process of course, that is what I have spent a large portion of my life making sure.
I've found a few, a FEW people who have said they have small teeth, but from their medical findings its just unlucky variance, I very much hope this isn't the truth.

Yes, a medical condition called genetics.

Yes there is, it's called true generalized microdontia, but it's very rare and usually happens in some forms of dwarfism

You're not betting that it will land on the same side 501 in a row - that was a surprise to you. You're only betting that the next flip will be tails. It's 50/50 each time regardless of what happened before.

>>8958976
those are different sets entirely

P(A) isn't the same as P(A|B)

>>8958976
actually i just thought of a really good analogy if you're actually having trouble with this and not just trolling

consider that the odds of an American being struck by lightning are just short of one in a million. if someone offers you million to one odds that they can stand in the middle of a field during a heavy storm and not get struck by lightning, should you take the bet?

the situation here is similar; something has happened that makes a certain outcome much more likely than it was before. already having had 500 flips in a row land on tails makes it a lot easier to get to the 501st flip on the next try, just the same as standing in the middle of a field during a storm makes it a lot easier to be struck by lightning.

We discover in an invented axiomatic system. We do "invent" new ways to think about math, but it is still discovering something imo.

If you haven't solved all millenium problem by the age of 15 and just don't tell anybody because you rather live as an hermit and observe the crumbling civilization as if it was a merely a car accident and you were passing by, you are a brainlet

Because when I was in highschool I thought it was boring and I didn't care about anything. I decided to study tanslation instead. I don't regret it tho, because I moslty translate science related stuff now (From english to french)

There's no reason, they just evolved like that and it dindn't affect reproduction rates. Evolution is just a matter of random mutation and how it affects reproduction ability of the specie, evolution doesn't mean bigger/stronger/better/smarter

Smol cat needs less resources to survive so in harsh environments they're more likely to survive

Big cat can defend itself and offspring more easily (and fuck girl cats more easily)

Well, great you 2 completely contradict eo

I've asked similar questions about the driving forces behind embryology and I can never seem to get a good answer.

>>8959690
Yea this is a really neat and good question.

Well what kind of renewable would you prefer to research?

Why not use a normal notebook that won't rape your hand while your try to write?

>>8957762
Pen bleeds through notebook paper so I usually just write on every odd page. Spiral is never a problem when you "close" the notebook and write like that.

yeh it looks very big

My university is in the total eclipse zone and it is the first day of classes. It will be rad
