If bill nye is standing on top of the world then why are their clouds behind him? scientists btfo with their dumb theories about a spherical earth yet again.

I am stand on top of the world every day and there are often clouds behind me. Where do you stand? Mars?

If we really went to the moon in 1969 how do you explain this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4UVDdUX1IA&t=30m12s
>If we really went to the moon in 1969
What the fuck are you talking about?
1. I was born in 1993. Sure as hell haven't made any trips in 1969.
2. Do you have any idea how much traveling to the Moon costs? A poor student like me can only dream of such things.
3. I'm pretty sure you and I have never met each other, and hence we can't have been on a trip together.
Check your medication.
>>8765841
Well you better check yourself bro, because NASA claims we did.
>>8765845
NASA is spreading disinformation. GIBE MONY!!!! HEY GUYS REMEMBER WHEN WE WENT TO MOON? NO? FUCKING COMMIE!
It is not the first time an American agency is doing this. The CIA, for example, spreads flat earth propaganda (source https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBguu3khYhk). Therefore, I agree with >>8765841 on not having visited the Moon.
Hey /sci/
I'm a 1st year uni student in maths and I'm willing to learn computer science during my spare time. Where should I start? I know basically nothing from it.
can you code html?
can you code css?

yes
Pleaseeee.
I want to learn a lots of thinks about maths, but I haven't got enoug knowleadge for very difficult things.
Can someone help me
fuck off and go read a book brainlet
>>8769207
Follow this path:
Khan Academy (Complete all of it) > Serge Lange's Basic Mathematics (complete it) > Stewart Calculus (also complete it) > Apostol Calculus > Analysis (Baby Rudin/Intro/First Course Calculus)

Thanks u
I'm not very clever /sci/, and I don't understand why 0 raised to the power 0 is 1.
It's easy to show how any number greater or equal to 1 produces 1 when raised to the power 0, take for example 2.
[math] 1 = \frac{2}{2} = \frac{2^1}{2^1} = 2^{1-1} = 2^0 [/math]
This obviously cannot work if we want to show that 0 to the power 0 is 1, since it's false that
[math] 1 = \frac{0}{0} [/math]
How can it be shown that
[math] 1 = 0^0 [/math]
0^0 = x implies log (0^0)=log x
but log (0^0)=0*log(0)=0
so log x=0
so x=1
You can't prove it. [math] 0^0 [/math] is not defined. However [math]\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 0} x^x [/math] can be shown to be 1.
>>8769169
this implies, first, that you can take the log of 0^0, second that 0*log0=0, assuming, again, that log0 is defined.
This is the proper way:
let x>0, x^x=y>0. Then log(x^x)=log(y). So xlogx=logy. Take the limit x to 0. Since polynomial decrease is faster than logarithmic decrease (can show this via Taylor series, well known result), then the limit is 0. Hence logy=0 so e^0=y=1.
Q.E.D.
not a /sci/entist but i got a question:
we experience time in a forward motion. but according to the laws of physics, nothing prevents us from reversing the velocity. what does this mean in relation to free will seeing as spacetime is relative in the eye of the beholder?
i'm confused
>nothing prevents us from reversing the velocity
You're fucking hilarious
>>8768628
i mean theoretically, according to this fella:
https://youtu.be/IVYjCQrg3qg?t=39m9s
>>8768624
The law of entropy mandates a forward flow of time.
with science and math would it be possible to legit finally weaponize ants more specifically fire ants for that matter?
yes this is a very important scientific research question I am asking here because I want to know what it would take to create such a thing.
>>8768204
Nuclear bomb > all ants on planet combined
>>8768204
>cant hold all these science
>muh math
Why would we weaponise ants? Have you ever seen the scene from the 200 hit classic starring Ben Stiller, where Ben Stiller, also known in the movie as Larry Daley in the movie, gets hit with small arrows shot at him by miniature people? The movie was innovative when it came out. Fairly uninteresting plot, but a fun concept. The characters were so-so, but all in all, I'd see the movie in cinema again if I had the chance.
5/7, I would see it again.

I'll pay somebody $5-$10 dollars via Paypal if they can help communicate how my tortilla chip warmer invention could work, in detail:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/14cT4ORjnItAb7gNHMZXX9oiFGrOkuOjKGdbkcc_PAP8/edit?usp=sharing
>
The device would be an upright tube with a heated bottom. The consumer would open the lid, pour the chips inside, and press a single on/off button to activate underneath heated coils as well as a fan underneath them. The fan would blow wind underneath the heated coils, in turn blowing hot hair to warm the chips atop. Once the set heat temperature is reached, the temperature will drop to a very subtle low-baking temperature - this will allow the consumer to leisurely pick up the chips at a relaxed pace, rather than immediately grabbing them upon being heated.
It won't fit in, it's too big. No one will buy this.

Why do people have their brains turn off when confronted by math above arithmetic? It's so consistent, too.
That's what the term "mind-numbingly boring" means.
that is a problem of instant velocity
Brain turned off? You can solve it if you have the formula memorized, if you don't you can't. This has nothing to do with your brain being on or off.
Does anyone else get spammed to fucking death by rogue open access journals?
Pic related (also pretty /sci// related in general). I get at least 10 of these a day.
These journals often perform little to no peer review, and charge a lot for publications. This is the flip side of open access: it provides the wrong incentive to publishers. Instead of selecting articles for quality, they are incentivized to accept everything, and as quickly as possible, because that's the source of income (rather than subscriptions).
Discuss.
>>8766188
yeah me too. it started after I signed in at a huge conference some years ago. I guess they sold my data to those cheap rat shops. sucks really really bad.
>>8766205
That's pretty bad, pretty sure you could sue them for that. It's also possible that your email address got listed on their website somewhere, I'm pretty sure these rogue journals use web crawlers to find email addresses.
For me it started after publishing a high impact paper, where my email address is listed as the address of correspondence.
Everyone who has ever published a paper or conference presentation gets spammed by open access journals on the email address printed on the paper. Deal with it.
Just read about Nikodem Poplawski and his "in every black hole is a universe and universes are nested in each other through black holes" thesis. This shit is so cash, honestly. It feels like taking drugs the more you read stuff from him and you more you think about it. It feels like reality is like a wonder world, a world created with the phantasy of a child where magic can happen. And he even things one can transmit information into the universes in the black holes, meaning theoretically, if there was intelligent life in our parent universe, they could have sent us messages or could even currently be sending messages. Of course the probability for this is very low but the theoretical possibility is there if he is right. Just remember his name and give him a few more years to work on it. At some point he will be regarded as the new Einstein.

Bump. Is anyone else following this hole "universe in a black hole" topic?
I think there is no one profoundly challenging theory at the moment, but he only really published related stuff from 2009/2010 onward
Is there any reason at all to assume this is true besides >hurr durr we don't know what's in a black hole?

Is there any? or is it just a mental disorder?
mostly mental disorder

It's a mental disorde, but the most effective treatment is transitioning.

i have a bachelors in biochemistry, am i safe in saying that there is no science backing the idea that there is more than 2 genders/sex/identity, male and female?

Do you think the concept of the great filter is true?
Do you think we are past it or does it still have yet to come?
What do you think would define the great filter? what event or series of events could be labeled as a potential great filter?

Does anyone know any good and factual stuff on this subject and any legitimate and factual sources? No, I'm not doing College work on this, I'm actually just curious since when I google it, most results talking about are unfactual and misleading websites. And I do mean for averages, since you can of course have a messed up face and still be above average.

Humans developed cooking so food was easier to chew, the result was less investment into the muscles and mandibles and more investment into the brain.
So people with large jaws and small foreheads are brainlets basically.
