They tried so hard, and got so far, but in the end, it didn't even mat-ter :^)

To be fair, two out of the three Apollo 10 got to walk on it in later missions. And the person who didn't walk on it, Thomas P. Stafford, was part of the Apollo–Soyuz Test Project.

Why?
why don't you read free textbooks from Library Genesis.

why don't you read free scientific articles from Sci-Hub?

high penetration instant release high dose opiate pellets and then you do life support on an opiate antagonist till the opiate is out of the system
only lethal if you cant get to the person to administer a constant antidote.
that would work well for riot control too

Intelligence is a desirable trait in all animal kingdoms. Can one therefore extraprolate from this fact that all non-human mammals will eventually reach human levels of intelligence through evolution even if it may take hundreds of millions of years?

No its not.
>>
intelligence is a trait desired by humans
evolution is not a guided process and doesn't seek out any "desirable traits."
natural selection is a 'just enough to get by' mechanism, not one for improvement
>>
>>8916013
>Intelligence is a desirable trait in all animal kingdoms.
Is it really though? It seems more likely that that just happened to be the case with humans. Like, if you let some species of sea sponge evolve for a few hundred Ma I don't think it would necessarily get smarter, because its environment simply doesn't demand it.

An important question: Can one incubate an egg inside a woman's vagina?
I did my research it seems possible however I don't know the specific effects the egg and human body will have on each other after being exposed to each other for prolonged time. The requirement is that both the egg and the woman must survive without heath complications.

Musicians and knowledgeable people of /sci , what is your take on the debate on whether instruments should be tuned to 432 Hz or 440 Hz?

Why does it matter?
>>
>>8915750
It matters a lot in the music community due to how tuning to 440 Hz is the modern standard however 432 Hz stimulates the right brain more, leading to more creativity.
Also the "modern standard" of 440 Hz was suggested by Nazis but that just might be conspiracy hogwash

See what I mean? "This is all interesting to me therefore I'm superior and you're all retarded fucks who should listen to me". (And that's only to prove you by intimidation that there are more than two sexes)
But Bill Nye isn't the only person guilty of this. Every scientist is. Dirac, Dawkins... and all of /sci/... Feynman, Dyson... Literally every scientist has had their cup of euphoria ("This is interesting to me so I'm superior to you").
Like Dirac saying he only looked for so-called 'beautiful mathematics'. Or Dyson on how "universe is made to be as interesting as possible" (haha yea). Or this gem from Dawkins:
>reality is even more amazing than fiction.
Fuck you, anime world > real world by a metric ton.
I mean I'm an engineer and gay but golly gee give me a break. Why do scientists do this?

Does anyone know what's a good read to learn quantum information for someone, who is a computer scientist? I already know about the Mike and Ike book, John Preskill and Watrous lecture notes.
Is anyone here interested in this field?

>>8915049
v = rω
centripetal force = mv/r^2
either of those should work, for solving for linear velocity, but if you know what centripetal force is you should probably already know how to find tangential velocity...

How does one cause a cell that can only divide a limited amount of times to divide more than it's limit? That's one of the fundamental questions that would help me understand if they're actually on to something.
Can actually end aging, or can you simply delay it by extending your bodily process functionality?

It shouldn't even have one.

Apparently there's a chance that the impact that created our moon also created a second one, which either crashed back into earth or flew away after its orbit decayed.
They were saying about a 15% chance based on computer modelling.

Early Earth was hit by a large meteorite impact that sent a large amount of molten material into space which then became the moon. We're not close enough to the asteroid belt to capture stray asteroids or large enough to have rings/attract things further away.
