Do they?

Same reason why they support climate "science"

They don't understand it

I read Mind and Cosmos by Thomas Nagel. He points out that the complexity of life cannot be explained by natural selection. I've long been troubled by the idea that the most complex biological machine can be the result of a completely random chaotic process where random genes in a DNA strand millions of sequences long can spontaneously change and create the perfect mutation needed for that species to adapt.

what

>>8726543
If your class has you do just the odd problem sets, its a brainlet university

plastic
safety glass
metal

>>8743151
Yeah but why is it that, in the average lab -even at the most prestigious institutions- glass is still the predominant material for containers?

>>8743156
Heat and chemical resistance, although for some substances plastic containers are used.

Quality shitpost

Think about it in real terms you fuckhead, if the dude is always only making up half the distance then he is decelerating. The thought experiment doesnt take into account speed or other true factors, that is what engineers do, and that is why they are smarter

Supertask, it's trivial.

Each step takes less time than the last, if it takes one second to accomplish step one, and half a second to accomplish step two, 1/4 for step 3, etc, after 2 seconds an infinite amount of steps are complete and the man runs past the tortoise.

If every step took the same amount of time then the task would take infinitely long to complete.
Since they don't, it doesn't.

Also if you frame this in a different way it stops being a problem. "A man runs at 10 meters per second, ten meters in front of him there is a tortoise walking at 10cm per second, how long until the man passes the tortoise?" If you stop forcing yourself to think of it as a series of infinite steps, and instead as a continuous function, you can just solve the function and get the answer.

Check how many left/right parentheses there are, then strip them and add them to the remainder text.

I don't think that would work recursively.

cuz it doesn't need to be recursive

I'm not sure which came first, the chicken or the dinosaur.

>I just read about this and it's blowing my mind
I knew about it when I was 7 years old buddy.

Chickens, like all birds, ARE dinosaurs.

I've seen a UFO so no, I don't have doubts.

Having a close encounter of the 4th kind

Because most forms of acne are mostly caused by genetics and by hormones as a side effect of puberty. It's caused by your body, not by a virus or specific bacteria strain.

Unless you want to fuck with your genetics or interfere with your natural puberty process, then you can only treat the symptoms not the cause.

>>8742044
>Why isn't there a vaccaine for acne?
The cure is for them to NOT put crap in their mouth.
> Surely this would be a billion dollar industry
It's likely it has been/is.

There is a cure.

It's called Accutane and it saved me.

Here's an example of this behavior.

Nuts have good fats (unsaturated fats).

Different types of nuts have different composition of these fats (mono and poly). "Some people" will literally count how many nuts they're eating so they can control the intake of these fats.

These people really think it's improving their wellbeing,

What do you consider a payoff? Having a slim waist? I don't get what you're using to measure return here.

>>8742005

The goal is (I assume, for most) a long healthy life. The point of diminishing returns is quickly reached -- following a simple, healthy diet (fruit, veg, meat, avoid junk food and sugars) will get you to that goal, everything else has marginal returns.

What I'm trying to measure is how much of a waste of time these efforts into tweaking every aspect of diet and exercise is.

lel, forgot trip.

i think most people already know about http://gen.lib.rus.ec/

Idk if you can help me but a while back /sci/ recommended a math textbook which was authored by Russians. The authors were called based for pointing out that algebra actually didn't originate from the Arabs.

I think we'd need one or two more eyes.
Or maybe the mind's eye to see cause and effect, effect and cause.

Do you mean a 4th spacial dimension or 3 dimensions and a special time dimension?

So /sci/ what do you think about Euclidean coordinates? Are they real? Are they already proved in any way?

I'll answer your question. Technically, the fourth dimension is not real. Neither is the third or second or first "dimension". They're just ways of describing what we see and categorizing ideas. If you categorize and describe your ideas and observations in certain ways, results obtained from extensions of your thinking can produce tangible predictions that make it seem like the way you categorized your ideas is the way that reality actually behaves.
