I have been thinking about the classification of planets and why Pluto is no longer considered to be one. It seems like planetary classification exists on a spectrum and Pluto is somewhere in between. What do you think about this?

Instead of using planes to transport things from one side of the earth to the other, why don't we just shoot what needs to be carried straight up in to space, wait for the earth to turn and then safely land.
This could transport shit to the other side of the moon in just 12 hours.

Hey guys,
I'm doing a technician's degree in Telecommunications and I have "Applied Calculus".
I really don't understand logarithms, can you give me a quick run down?

Inverse function of the exponential
So for example if your log base is 10, lg(10^x) = x
All the rules derive from this in some way or another.
>>
>>8863374
Oh thanks anon, that's really helpful.
I dropped uni because actual Calculus was impossible for me, and this seems more accessible but still struggling with it.
>>
>>8863396
Yeah man, Calculus I is pretty hard, I don't know how people cope with it.
I passed it with a C after doing it 5 times.
You've got two decks of cards. Each consists of numbers from 1 to 20. After you mixed all, you deal them out to two people. What's the probability that one person has at least one 1.

Relax. It's basically impossible to screw up if you understand your research.
Read up on related work a bit. You are likely to receive questions along the lines of "how does this compare to McFaggot's theory of derpification?".

Carl Sagan, Neil Tyson and Bill Nye are very important scientists for popularizing and questioning science.
You can't believe how top-heavy science is until you have worked there yourself. It is about time the masses get to chip it down. Science, like money, can't be the privilege of few percentage of population. It must belong to everyone; everyone must have a say in what things are scientifically correct and what are not. Just like in democracy. That is the future of science and these men are part of the vanguard.
>>
>>8863026
cont.
The main problem is that physics and mathematics quickly exhausted ALL the knowledge in the world there is for their respective sciences. We know pretty much everything about mathematics and physics already, face it. Remaining issues are tiny insignificant cosmological or quantum things that won't affect 99,99% of people's life.
And the problem is that in sciences like economy, sociology, psychology... the old methods of empirism and statistics don't give us any answers. The answers should be more and more democratic the deeper we go into those sciences. Yes, you can't "scientifically" determine sex. It must be determined democratically and by discussion. What do people FEEL will be the new science.

Do scientists plan to build temples/chapels, or will the universities continue to do?

So I just got in an argument with my fucking girlfriend. She tried to tell me that my B.S. in Library Science (from fucking Stanford) isn't a STEM degree. What the fuck am I supposed to say to this level of ignorance? I worked my fucking ass off for the epic le 300k starting stem degree and she just drops this load of shit on me. I'm fucking furious.
