If you had $100,000 and was given the choice to go live on mars, would you take it?

No. I Wanna be here when gene therapy becomes a thing.
I rather spend my 100k on not dying.

the catch: you are actually not going to live there, you will probably die within weeks or months.

You didn't hear this from me, but the X-37 currently in orbit is in an uncontrolled tumble and will never be recovered.

Proofbros, how did you master the art of the proof?

Can we get a thread where anons trained in the art of upper-echelon maths discuss their proof stories. How you learned them, easy or hard, importance of proofs in various disciplines, etc.

i don't see why you wouldn't just start with something like some pop sci feynman books, and then dive into young & freedmans university physics

these big /sci/ curriculum posts are silly. you just start general and learn about all of the different areas, and learn more about what actually interests you. you don't need to know 99% about every area because some NEET on /sci/ said so.

you read some pop sci books to get psyched, and then you read youg & freedmans university physics, and after that you just read whatever you want to go further in.

The 15 biggest ships emit as much pollution as EVERY CAR IN THE WORLD COMBINED. There are currently 140 nuclear powered ships in use around the world-- submarines, icebreakers, aircraft carriers-- HOW IS MAKING THESE COMMERCIAL VESSELS NUCLEARLY VIABLE NOT OUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY?

We're spending all this money and effort making regulations to reduce carbon emissions that make everybody's lives more difficult and cost people their jobs while this solution is staring us right in the face.

Reposting this thread here since you guys might have actual reasons why this isn't happening. All I can think of are conspiracy theories.

He has a point unlike you. Why change a billion cars before 15 fucking ships? Makes no sense.

So I have an unknown paraboloid, like pic related, but I don't know it's function. I know it's six centimeters across and the internal volume, but I've got to find it's depth. What do?

>>8853485
I know that pi*integral of f(x)^2 = 22,5pi
But I don't know what f(x) is, besides that it's a parabole. I also don't know from what the upper limit of the integral is. Lower limit = 0
>>
f(x) = (7/3)x^2 - 4x
Integral is from 0 to 3
Depth is 9cm

Space has something like density and compressibility that defines the speed of light.

\displaystyle
c = \frac{1}
{ \sqrt{ \varepsilon_0
\mu_0
}
}

I hate him because he's famous.

But srsly, he's just a popsci TV personality. He says some derpy shit sometimes, as does every human being. I really liked The Inexplicable Universe (it's on Netflix, check it out). He's a smart dude overall.
>>
It's a jpg image, also known as a jpeg. Jpg (pronounced "jay-peg") is a good file format for low file size because of its compression, but often results in compression artifacts reducing image quality. This image suffers from some artifacting in the background, and the filesize is somewhat high for what ti shows. Overall I don't like this image compression.
>>
I can forgive him for being a popsci meme man because he's black.

Perhaps if we could actually get blacks interested in intellectual pursuit, even if the majority is to stupid to do it themselves, we would actually make some progress in the black community and race relations in America.

What's to stop me from pirating every experience I would normally pay for when virtual becomes advanced?

This can cover anything from fucking a 10/10 pornstar, to travelling to the French Alps, to going to a music concert.

The only exceptions I can think of are eating and drinking where virtual reality wouldn't do shit.
