Thinks that free body diagrams are useless wastes of time. I can imagine the forces in my head and add them and subtract them accordingly. I don't need this confusing piece of shit method to confuse me even more about something that is supposed to be simple. Anyone else hate how normies complicate things, math especially?

>>8935869
well, if you've only done systems where it's really easy to keep track of every force in your head, there are two possibilities:

a) you've only studied incredibly basic systems of forces, and therefore your opinion is total shit, you are unqualified, and you suck

or,

b) you have genius level spatial intelligence and memory and can keep track of complicated changing systems in your head

I give it a 99.999999% chance that you're just doing FBDs of balls rolling down hills and shit like that and that you fall into category (a)

We might be brains in a vat. Occam's razor suggests we shouldn't assume that true. But what if William of Ockham was a brain in a vat himself that came up with his Razor theory that got him stuck in a catch 22 about his own existence.

I think scientists don't know everything about how evolution turned into consciousness.

What I think is life started out like little machines that are able function in some way, shape, or form. (Started out as lightning striking at chemicals) for billions of years until eventually a molecular machine forms that is able to do carry out a set of tasks like manipulate atoms randomly until it evolves into something like a calculator, that's able to calculate, compute, store data, and make changes to it's surroundings (the environment consisting of molecules and atoms)

Watch this video showing a visual simulation put together through microscopic research of how DNA works and how the molecular machines copy it to form new cells.

https://youtu.be/f9ff4FQ39CE

Those machines look very complicated and (machine) like, Extremely (machine) like. Probably what these molecular machines evolved into.

They might of been copying themselves and creating new ones so they could work together to do more calculations. And have some of them go out and get fuel to keep them going.

What if all those machines were doing extreme calculations on the universe and how it worked and had some sort of artificial intelligent like behaviour and kept doing calculations because that's what it does. And it just needed to be more complicated so it could learn more about the universe and how it works. And learn about laws of physics. So it just kept doing a set of theoretical 2d, 3d, 4d, and so on calculations until it came up with a theory to mess with a segment within the fabric of the universe and transform it. I'm not talking about moving the atoms and molecules around, but messing with what's within the atoms until it finds the very fabric of the universe and how it existingly exists and what if it was messing with that doing crazy modifications to it manipulating it in a way that it's able to turn a segment of it into some type of artificial awareness.

Why don't animals seem to show intelligent behaviour? Because maybe these machines were copying themselves too much and each machine was messing with different segments within the fabrics of the universe (a group of different atoms and molecules) creating more machines with awarenesses, and they needed resources, so they started programming them and their awarenesses to start consuming different machines which had fuel so that they could keep going.

And what happened? They needed to change their awareness so that they didn't have to think, because thinking about the crazy complicated things they were calculating and theorizing would only slowed them down so they programmed their brains to keep the calculating going while their awareness focused on survival, instinct, and action.
>>
So the machines before they created themselves an awareness were probably doing intense Google bytes of calculations per plank time for millions of years to come up with something as complicated as an awareness with sensory, learning, meaning, chemical exchanges they know as emotions, and eventually today they were able to make the awareness so complicated that its able to perform knowledge and understanding, so that maybe today we can do way more than what the machines were able to do millions of years ago

Does penis size correlate inversely with intelligence?

>>8934445
Strangely enough, yes. That probably has to do with blood flow going to the brain not the penis.
That correlation doesn't make sense if we compare ourselves with other apes though. Gorillas are a lot dumber than us and have tiny dicks.

There is only so few ways for a face to be aligned. How come everyone has a different fucking face? It doesn't make sense. I had this crush on this girl in 7th grade, because she had such a unique face and I haven't seen it ever since--no girl comes close and now I'm salty as fuck.

You'd be suprise how many people look very similar. I think it may just be a result of a very large gene pool, and each person's face is a unique creation of the genes of their parents.

Oxford Dictionary sites...

Gender: The state of being male or female
Sex: Either of the two main categories (male and female) into which humans and most other living things divide themselves into

Although with slight variations regarding interpetation, it could be said that for the most part both definitions are similar if not the same

Rockets are shit you can't even land them. No one will ever explore relatively safe in space until you get a fighter type jet in space with steroided engines. A rocket can't land it's designed to explode thus the people inside it explode.

Still, so risky it's unbelievable I've seen the video it's not safe. Safety is about control you can't control that so it's not safe. Back to making fighter jets that can dock and have acceleration control in space, not rockets that will veer into your ship or station and blow a hole into it killing everything and everyone inside because that's what rockets do. The whole design is an arrow.

I'm not riding in a flying arrow designed to Spear me into whatever object it comes across.

What's the likelihood we'll see something like this in the next 50 years?

Is the turbojet going to stick around for a while, or is there really a chance for something like a SST powered by a reactor or batteries this half century?

We don't need to make them electric. We could use cryogenic hydrogen. Or better yet, use that cryogenic hydrogen to power fucking insane fuel cells that power motors with superconducting magnets. By insane I mean having to move a lot of air and get rid of a lot of water.

You should be able to calculate the basic feasibility of such things from first principles. Once you got a model for wave drag you're all set. I don't feel like doing this right now.
>>
>>8932054
see, I'd be thinking that the military would be dumping money into something like this. I'd eliminate the issue of IR tracking for missiles, and since they already have stealth down for radar, it'd render a plane a hole in the sky that'd only be able to be hit with optical tracking.

Radar stealth is obsolete, electronic are much better now.

>There is a 99% chance if humanity doesn't manage to colonize other bodies in the solar system within the next 100 years we'll go extinct
Why isn't leaving Earth our #1 priority right now? Do people not realize how fragile our existence on this planet is? All it would take is a single extinction level event to occur and that's it. The only intelligent species in the universe dies out. If we want humanity to continue existing we MUST leave Earth and create self sustaining colonies on other worlds
