I've just been diagnosed with incurable blindness due to a genetic defect. I'll be blind in 2-3 years.
How do I git gud at computational biology/ protein folding simulations/ genetic engineering? I have a background in numerical mechanical engineering.
(also I'm not that hypochondriac anon: fuck that guy)

This. Don't waste your short time with sight doing fucking math, go out and live. There isn't anything stopping you from doing math after you go blind. Stephen Hawking can't control anything but his cheek muscle and he manages

Someone posted these on /pol/ a while ago. Claimed that it was cold fusion. What do you guys think?

Is quantum physics based on probabilties simply because we aren't intelligent enough to notice a pattern? Is it possible that another advanced civilization knows exact laws?

It's based on probabilities because it appears to be probabilistic.

No it's based on probabilities because linear algebra and Fourier transforms.
It's literally just math.

I don't know why I thought listening to what a psychologist had to say was a good idea. I'm not going back there (after 9 whole months of useless therapy).

you're an idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about. your brain is just a slut for a bunch of mass-culture memes that you obey because without them there'd be nothing left of you.

Well, this is to be expected. If we actually forced psych majors to take epidemiology and organic chemistry then this kind of thing would be a lot rarer, but then like 90% of them would fail out.

Shut up, brainlet.

>>8721682
If your psychiatrist doesn't actually use a pseudoscientific therapy method then you have no reason to react this way.
Not all people are perfectly scientifically literate, but to think that if one person believes in pseudoscientific theory like homeopathy that he is automatically curing you through pseudoscientific psychological theory like psychoanalysis or some shit is to think in black-and-white terms.
The only one here deserving to be mocked is you, not a person trying to help you.
Thread on the left is a dumb gorilla post shitpost made one day 13 hours ago with almost 100 replies. Thread on the right is a neat real science thread made 15 hours ago with no replies other than OP himself. How the fuck can you explain this?

It's like talking about a triangle with 4 sides or a circle with no centre. Totally nonsensical and absurd. There is only three ways you can go, up, down and side to side. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY.

No, in 3D there isnt. Just as there are only 2 orthogonal directions in 2D, and 1 in 1D.

What's the evolutionary reason for our head hair? Why is it completely different from fur? Is baldness the next step?

similar to those birds who attract mates with their feathers
>>
>>8721089
Yes. Baldness is the next step. And it is already happening. Look how many people have cancer these days. If you have cancer, you get chemo. Chemo gives you baldness. So the logical conclusion is that cancer and baldness is evolution.
>>
>>8721089
That depends, do bald/balding people get laid more or have more offspring than their hair cover counterparts? If the answer to that question is no, then no, balding is not the next evolutionary step.

Scientifically speaking, who would win in a fight in the following match ups.

A kodiak bear is fucking huge, it would easily win a fight against a silverback or a lion
UNLESS the fight lasts longer than 28 years, the average life expectancy of kodiaks

This.. This proves that Elon Musk is probably the greatest mind in human history... His hard effort and creativity will not only take us to Mars, but we will get there by spaceships controlled with our minds. Praise baby Jesus for this man.
>>
>>8720841
Greatest mind? He's a fucking investor and project manager. He's going for great things and arranges the investments for projects which would be considered unlikely to succeed. But that doesn't make him a demi-god.
>>
>>8721108
He is the greatest mind in human history. That's a fact. Just because his a Jew doesn't mean that he is an investor or is related to money/ business in any other way. That's racist. He is the greatest scientist of XXI century and you, my friend, you're just fucking jealous.

I have a simple function f(x)=(2x+1)*2^y . Is there a way to rewrite it so that x and y are always even or always odd but never even and odd?
F.e. x is not allowed to be odd if y is even and x is not allowed to be even if y is odd. But if y is even and x is even than everything is cool, same when y is odd and x is odd.
Like, I want all numbers 2x2y and (2x+1)(2y+1) but in one function.

so what you are trying to figure out if y is even to x or odd? right? my english is not the best
>>
>>8720666
I need more context because your question makes no sense.
What do you mean by "not allow"? What do you want your function to output when one is odd and the other is even?

1: Atoms are 90+% empty space (vacuum)
2: Nature abhors a vacuum.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize you guys needed some profound explanation of such a simple concept.
P1:
More than 90% of every atom is empty space.
P2:
All matter is made of atoms.
C1:
More than 90% of all matter is empty space.
P1:
"Nature abhors a vacuum," which means that wherever there is empty space, the surrounding substance will move to fill the void. Thus, empty space acts as a vacuum.
P2:
(C1) More than 90% of all matter is empty space.
C2:
More than 90% of all matter is a vacuum.

Probability question: What is the chance of A being a mine? What is the chance of B being a mine? This will really help me to guess at minesweeper in the future.
Assumptions:
*The flag is correct.
*This game takes place on an infinite minesweeper grid with only a finite portion solved so the rest of the board cannot provide useful information and the density of mines per area is not known.

exactly 50%. not meming
>>
>>8720550
50% that A is a mine. 50% that the spot above A is a mine. The other 2 are 0%
>>
>>8720550
There is only one mine in all 4 squares. The sum of the probability of a mine in each square must be 1. If A is .5, then the square above A is also .5, same for B and the square to its right. That sums to a probability of 2.
You're either memeing or you're bad at math.
