I'm becoming obsessed with cuttlefish.
They are intelligent, reproduce in large brood sizes, have short lifespans with short generational gaps. Their color based communication language is fascinating.
In other words they are the perfect organism to apply artificial selection to. We could breed an ultra-intelligent cuttlefish in no time.
Am I crazy /sci/?
>>8701066
no, they are actually really cool.
>>8701066
Because they are much better as a tasty dish than as a smart pet.
>>8701066
not at all crazy. but artificial selection is fuckin stupid. It poses several threats if accidents were to occur, costs tons of money, trial and error very time consuming.
It gets to -73 Celsius at night at the *equator.*

It would be more viable to colonize the South Pole of Earth, but no one is going to do that because it's stupid. Surface structures like greenhouses are fantasy.
America colonized Saudi Arabia so it is viable
>>8700916
Saudi Arabia is nice and warm. All you need is water to grow stuff. People lived there in paleolithic times, you idiot.
>>8700917
Most normies don't care about Mars. Plenty of them still voted Trump.
>>8700922
You got it the other way around lol, only normies care about mars, normies and popsci autists.
>Easiest engineering major
>Simple certification exams
>Plentiful jobs
>Paid handsomely just to sit around and apply safety factors to predetermined designs
Stop kidding yourself, /sci/. Civil Engineering is the greatest field.
>>8700566
I'm a libertarian and I don't like roads so fuck civil engineers
>structural engineers
>have to take FE, PE, and SE exams just to be able to work in the field
>masters degree practically required
>4 years of experience in addition to all that to even begin to start working
the other disciplines are pretty easy to get into but come on OP, don't be disingenuous

Shouldn't it just be 0.5?
t. regards /g/ brainlet
I think i speak for everyone on /sci/ when i say;
>>8700077
If you rolled N, the odds of you getting a bigger number is pretty much
(100 - N)/(100)
So solve for
(100 - N)/(100) > 0.5
100 - N > 50
-N > -50
N < 50
pretty easy.
of course it's 0.5
my nigga Neil just got all back-uh-da-bus'd 'n' shit.

I get the feeling that he somehow disrespected feminism and that article was written by a feminist. I'm too lazy to check though

Sounds about right
I've seen so many youtube videos but it's mostly just proposed experiments for a gyroscopic anti-gravity device?
So is there any magnetic/anti-gravity/fuelless propulsion system or is it all just a meme?
Pic semi-related
[spoiler]I want to believe [/spoiler]
No there is no such thing. It is a nonsensical concept.
>>8698889
>So is there any magnetic/anti-gravity/fuelless propulsion system or is it all just a meme?
No experiment has proven it's possible. Some looking interesting, but it's still all hopes and wishes.

What note taking strategies do you have?
My main question for math is, should you have homework and notes in the same notebook?
>>8698399
I keep notes and personal exercises in the notebook. Everything homework or generally assignment related I do on a whiteboard then LaTeX it up when done.
I sorely need tips on keeping up with the lecturer and making notes that are 1) useful; 2) legible; and 3) malleable.
I'm terrible at making lists, determining whether the lecturer is switching topics, and generally organizing my notes. I've tried Cornell. It just comes out as a dense mess without any sort of system, either in using shorthand symbols or in using available space.
It doesn't help that my handwriting is garbage and that I often need to rewrite what I've written because I'll write some garbage sentences in-the-moment to summarize the information because I can't quite think of a better way to phrase it. It's gotten to the point where I don't take notes anymore because I don't even bother.
One notebook per course for lecture notes. I write with a colour other than blue and later go through the material and add notes in blue ballpen if anything is unclear.
I use seperate notebooks for exercises and loose thoughts.
>>8698538
Try to structure your notes into definitions, lemmas, theorems and remarks. If you look out for these things during lectures you should be able to avoid trying to write everything the lecturer says down.
Can math provide us a meaning of life?
>>8698146
The meaning of life is to live and afterwards be judged by Jesus
>>8698146
No.
Math merely defines what is. If you want meaning I can imbue you with one. Care to hear it?

What is your story?
What are your goals?

Switched majors in my 4th year, will be in undergrad for a total of 6 years
Goal is to graduate
>pull out a nose hair and it hurts like you're tearing off a limb
>pull out an eyelash and you barely feel anything
What's the evolutionary reason behind this?
How would you know you don't even have a nose or eyelashes
>>8695803
Because eyelashes can get pulled out more easily dumb ass
>>8695803
early humans would often get into fights with wooly mammoths in the savannah. one of the mammoths' favorite tactics was to pull the humans' eyelashes to distract them; hence, humans evolved so that they didn't feel any pain when their eyelashes were pulled out. don't know about the nose hairs.
What will be China's position in the science and technology world in 10 years?
>>8701409
Expect something along the lines of "lmao what the fuck is ethics ahaha"
>>8701409
They will already all have suffocated by then.
>>8701409
In 10 years...
probably doing unethical things with the human genome
Is he a real scientist?
No, /pol/ told me he was a libtard cuck so now I'm supposed to hate him.
>>8698602
He's just as much of a scientist as these guys
>>8698602
Yes. A scientist "guy" even.
How did this madman do it?
Anecdotes apart, read what colleagues thought about him:

I do put effort in what I do but I know I'll always be a brainlet.
This man was a real Wojak on steroids.

Been on this for almost two years, it works really well if you can stick to it. The second you deviate... You're basically fucked.

underage plz leave
spaceship is flying through space
for the crew to be at constant 15-20G force
they would need to be constantly accelerating
right?
not just - we are going fast
but - we are going many times faster than 1 min ago and increasing
just asking cuz i saw latest episode of scific series the expanse, for 15G the crew needed some special chemicals to help survive
Television :(
>>8701771
Yes
>>8701771
If I didn't get it wrong(I was drunk) Eros was accelerating as well so they had to match it.
