If you do recreational mathematics, like those people who find weird ways to represent the distribution of primes and then generate pictures and shit, or people who define fractals, etc. Then you are an artist, and a very good one at that. An artistic mathematician.

>>8671865
Deriving mathematical relationships and disproving things in natural sciences are usually elegant and therefore the results of art.

>>8671865
It involves a lot of creativity. But I see it more as exploration rather than creation. Art is about creating something from nothing.

It's easier to make new age weaponry out of nuclear waste, waste not want not.

Building nuclear power generating stations is just a simple artifact of the new age weaponry biz.

why arent we using a conveur belt to pile everything up in tchernobyl
i mean its radioactive already and has a big closed up space

>>8667055
They already do that. In Ontario there's a controversy over what to do with nuclear waste. Ontario Power Generation wants to bury nuclear waste deep in the bedrock close the Lake Huron but a lot of people are against it. I'm for it because it's safer than transporting the waste and the chance of leakage is next to nothing.

Is there a name for this phenomon?

ye boi

u're a fucking BRAINLET (puke)

>>8664232
it's probably just a rock. Rovers are expensive, routes have to be carefully planned so that the rover will keep working as long as possible.

are u pply retard?

>>8664255
Was there ever a general consensus on the geological processes that could have formed such a structure? I mean anyone would agree that it's markedly different from the surrounding rock, as well as any rock we've seen on the planet in general.

>routes have to be carefully planned so that the rover will keep working as long as possible

I understand this, like there are some other formations that have turned up in these images that I would say were very interesting but not worth turning back for, but I feel like this one is different from all of those.

Confucianist Autocracy

Slavic Dictatorial Technocracy
Before the world can concentrate on science and progress it must be united under one banner so that there are no external threats should the country focus on scientific progress.
This can be done with making a nuclear/orbital exchange with the west without their ability to strike back

Does Varg have a degree, published paper or credentials in a relevant field for that claim?

>>8674047
No, so I thought I'd ask a forum of people who might.

>>8674021
Yes

Stop shilling for the out of Africa theory; we are not albinos

>>8674017
Intelligence like that would invariably see humanity as an obstacle to itself and then attempt to destroy it. Why would such a smart being give a fuck about us?

>>8674017
intelligent people are also error prone.

Not to mention that if the government is too detached from the plebs they will revolt.

Because humans always get bored if everything is fine and there is no conflict whatsoever. And when humans get bored, bad shit happens.

The first square is the odd one out since it is the only figure in that set to have nothing unique to that set.

>The first square is the odd one out since it is the only figure in that set to have nothing unique to that set.

But by being the only figure in the set that has nothing unique to it, it is unique.

There's no correct answer to OP's pic without first estabilishing what "odd" means, exactly, or equivalently, what's not "odd". Which is why I, personally, dislike these kinds of puzzle.

As for OP: Can't help you with your post, so have a polite sage.

>>8674319
But doesn't that make it unique?

im dissapointed in you all

is this some sort of artless uber PR post?

no. fuck uber. any company can do this, but they are the first I have seen on the road. Self driving cars are the best for the future

there are organisms that can survive in space if thats what you mean

>>8673304
I know, what I mean though is, is it theoretically possible for an organism to be able to travel through space with its body alone?

Let's give it optimal conditions: It has eaten fully and is well rested, in optimal physical condition. It is then placed in space.

Is it possible for an organism to exist with inherent navigational capabilities (a primitive and instinctual understanding of orbital mechanics) so that it can then exert minor thrust in one direction to orient itself, then exert a larger thrust to go where a planet will eventually end up, and enter a hibernation mode while it floats through space, waking up occasionally to re-orient itself?

Is this theoretically possible to evolve on a planet?

I assume the answer is no but I just thought I'd ask if anyone thought it was theoretically possible

>>8673331
How would it get out of the planet?

>>8673163

>the most intelligent of us are usually solitary loners

Not necessarily.

>>8673164
First post best post

even "loner" humans are living in houses built by other people, eating food grown by other people, drinking water cleaned by other people and delivered by pipes put in by other people, using roads made by other people, etc etc

people who are actually completely disconnected and living innawoods completely by themselves are usually fucking psychopaths

>>8673085
no

>>8673090
Why not?

Things are not significant by itselves, intelligent beings assign meanings to things.

>movie is praised for it's scientific accuracy
>at one point in the movie the protagonist astronaught lights a candle in a dome with pressurized oxygen attached to it, and he has a limited amount of oxygen

was anybody else bothered by this? Seems like it was simultaneously extremely dangerous due to the risk of oxygen explosions and also wasteful since he had access to electric lights

>>8672999
>Seems like it was simultaneously extremely dangerous due to the risk of oxygen explosions

Oxygen is not explosive. It enhances the flammability of materials in its environment.

And yes, it's a bad choice. Did he have a choice? What I wonder is, ... they brought candles?

TV is lies from seducer producers. You can't expect intelligence from them.

What is the biological advantage of having evolved to shitpost on the internet?

I thought of self-defense: as in avoiding being punctured by an arrow from a "slow" fellow hunter. Catching is the complement of "moving the hell out of the way to avoid that arrow." It also helped dealing with all the uncivilized people who could not hand things to other people politely.

> We can do it rather well
In fact, most people are severely uncoordinated: their posture and gate is deformed as if by malnutrition (lacking one or more vital amino acids in childhood) and immaturity (senselessness, again can be caused by malnutrition).
