>Thoughts on Nuclear Energy, Sci?
It is cleaner and cheaper than most power sources
>I've heard but haven't been able to confirm that by using a mix of Light water reactors, breeder reactors and uranium extraction from sea water, we could have enough fuel to outlast the sun.
Where did you read that?

Enough with the damn shill threads already. Fuck off to reddit.

>The Nobel Laureate Hans Bethe speculated: "I have sometimes wondered whether a brain like von Neumann's does not indicate a species superior to that of man".[17] Eugene Wigner wrote that, seeing von Neumann's mind at work, "one had the impression of a perfect instrument whose gears were machined to mesh accurately to a thousandth of an inch."[160] Paul Halmos states that "von Neumann's speed was awe-inspiring."[16] Israel Halperin said: "Keeping up with him was ... impossible. The feeling was you were on a tricycle chasing a racing car."[161] Edward Teller admitted that he "never could keep up with him".[162] Teller also said "von Neumann would carry on a conversation with my 3-year-old son, and the two of them would talk as equals, and I sometimes wondered if he used the same principle when he talked to the rest of us."[163] When George Dantzig brought von Neumann an unsolved problem in linear programming "as I would to an ordinary mortal", on which there had been no published literature, he was astonished when von Neumann said "Oh, that!", before offhandedly giving a lecture of over an hour, explaining how to solve the problem using the hitherto unconceived theory of duality.[164]

>Lothar Wolfgang Nordheim described von Neumann as the "fastest mind I ever met",[158] and Jacob Bronowski wrote "He was the cleverest man I ever knew, without exception. He was a genius."[165] George Pólya, whose lectures at ETH Zürich von Neumann attended as a student, said "Johnny was the only student I was ever afraid of. If in the course of a lecture I stated an unsolved problem, the chances were he'd come to me at the end of the lecture with the complete solution scribbled on a slip of paper."[166]

Because they're feeble.

Power density is shit. Also crashes, but mainly the shit power density. RTGs are being considered for nuclear powered ocean environmental monitoring robots. Now jnstead of lasting a year, they will run for 10 years. The NRC has ok'd similar radioisotopes for oce monitoring devices so it might actually work

>>8926667
ICE monitoring nor oce

I love these threads

No, I will not let

If and only if

Sci's only approved game is reporting non science related thread such as yours.

Aurora

here's a tip

pick your favourite school offering a petro engineering degree

google their website

look at the degree requirements

if you can't figure out how to do that you're unlikely to succeed in getting a degree anyway

>>8931830
>Being an autist instead of answering a simple question
Moving on.

>>8931834
you're the autist who doesn't realize degree requirements vary by university and the year you enter the program

Jesus just try to read shit that isn't from 4chan faggot.

The problem isn't feminism, it's empiricism. Empiricism works the same way for racism and sexism.
You're either a Cartesian rationalist or you are a brainlet.
There is nothing wrong with feminism.

If you don't make the effort to format your post correctly with latex, then I wont make the effort to respond to it seriously

Why does this need latex? just read

The series converges at 0 because the function 1/n+1/n... where n goes to infinity represents a series of infinitesimally small quotients.

I know this is not a rigorous explanation but that's how I was taught to understand it

wtf

I like the way this dog looks for some reason. I'm going to make a dog breed selecting for this exact malformation.

>>8931447
Please dont

Mate what the fuck are you even talking about, you can't dig deep enough, the position isn't important.

>>8931011
How can you dig anywhere close to the "center" of the Earth if it's flat?

>>8931011
What would happen if we built a giant space saw and cut off part of the Earth like this? Would gravity still hold it there or would it fly out and become another moon? Would the rest of the Earth reshape back into a sphere?

basically [eqn]{\partial{x^i'}}{\partial{x^i}}={\partial{x^i}}{\partial{x^i'}}[eqn/]

[eqn]{\partial{x^i'}}{\partial{x^i}}={\partial{x^i}}{\partial{x^i'}}[/eqn]

the first equation is ill formed since c should be covariant

>>8930570
x$AGE goes into every field

>>8930570
What are bullshit points?

>>8930579

Its data from 39 sample, y axis is hours worked and x axis is age. I'm trying to do a linear regression model, but these two blue points (highlighted like shit) are messing my line. The red line is far better, but do I have any right to simply remove those blue points?

It's a fine thing. More spaceships is better. Congratulations to Brian and the rest of the Kiwis...

>>8930521
So did it work?

>>8930521
I'm particularly interested in the electric pumps. From what I understand, turbopumps are a major portion of the cost and design effort involved in building a launch vehicle. so if electric pumps work out then they could be a neat alternative for small launchers and upper stages.

Mods need to ban flat earth shitposts, global warming shitposts, and homework threads. Real threads only.

No? Neither did I.
