What is cooler than black holes? Are they the most ridiculous thing in space? What tops it?
>>8668370
They are cool but what about the edge of space, where time doesnt exist, or does time always have existed before space?
>>8668383
How do we know space has an edge? Why does time not exist outside it?
A candle that doesn't produce carbon monoxide. What would be the fuel?
Carbon dioxide, CO2, you mean? Otherwise it's more of an engineering problem to re-feed the flame and get all the CO broken up.
I think there are candles with S instead of C, giving Sulfur dioxide SO2.
I mean the monoxide as in the original post. There is not enough oxygen to burn in common candles.
What kinda wax would the candle be made out of?

When the mass droughts begin and water shortages get worse in 50 years, real estate prices in these areas will be so high it will be too late for you
What are some other areas with high amounts of freshwater that will be valuable in 50 years?
>real estate prices mattering at a time when billions are gradually dying of starvation/thirst
oh my sweet summer child the only thing that will matter is how much access you have to guns and ammunition

Are you going to go down there every morning and haul water back to your house for treatment? Because unless we can clean and distribute the lakewater fast enough living near them wont matter. Moreover, private water companies own the lakes and distribution networks. Its not as simple as moving close to a lake.
How do we know that global warming isn't just a natural fluctuation like the Medieval Warm Period?
>>8667106
Because we can measure each of the factors that effect the climate and the largest current forcing is from GHGs released by man.
>>8667106
The Medieval Warm Period was caused by the coal-powered industry of orcs and goblins.
>>8667114
In fact, without man's GHG emissions, the earth would be cooling slightly.
Also, the current observed global warming is much larger than the medieval warm period in both magnitude and rate.
A study performed by the University of New Mexico found that the naturally cycling (not taking birth control) exotic dancers they observed made about $355 during ovulation. Comparably, they made around $260 per shift after ovulation, and about $185 per shift while menstruating.
A couple of important things happen during ovulation:
• The uterine lining thickens to prepare it for the egg cell, which will attach to the uterine walls.
• A ripe egg is released from the ovary and travels down the Fallopian tubes toward the uterus in hopes that some healthy little sperm cells will be there waiting for it.
Merriam-Webster defines estrus as “a regularly recurrent state of sexual excitability during which the female of most mammals will accept the male and is capable of conceiving.”
In layman’s terms, it is a period of being “in heat.”
Ovulation changes a lot about a woman’s behavior.
Women unconsciously speak in higher registers when they are most fertile.
They put more effort into looking attractive.
They wear more revealing clothing.
Their walks are also sexier.
They are attracted to more masculine men.
They're much more sensitive to the scent of musk and the male pheromones.
Women are more likely to cheat on their mates when they are most fertile.
And men can smell them too. They’re more attracted to fertile women — and can smell when they’re ovulating.
Nature wants you to get pregnant, and it knows how to get you in the mood.
Your clitoris can actually grow up to 20 percent bigger and become engorged more easily during ovulation.
The subjects were hooked up to vaginal photoplethysmographs, which measured physiological sexual arousal based on blood flow to the genitals.
Tell me more about this fascinating stuff, /sci/.
For research purpose of course.

This really made me think. What does this mean? Is it
a) Calculus is relatively harder than Analysis.
b) Calculus covers less than Analysis
Which one is it?
>>8666830
>b) Calculus covers less than Analysis
Meant Calculus covers more than Analysis

It's called an "arbitrary decision"

How do we eradicate the pop-sci scourge?
you can only get rid of -1/12 of them anyway

You don't.

Naw I didn't, I Clepped out of every class required in my degree
Universities hate me
>>8662103
Oh, come on. Think OP, think!
Books are not the reason people attend university.
Take another guess or be more forward about the conversation you want to have.
why don't we create underground cities?
What happens if there needs to be a mass evacuation?
What happens if it floods?
What happens if there is any earthquake?
What happens if the air filtration shuts down or becomes compromised?
What happens when trump putin and kim drop nukes?
>>8670454
what do we do now? just apply that underground.
Welcome to the 3rd day of the Daily Math Challenge Thread! Work on math problems, post your solutions, and feel free to add your own problems!
Today's problem is pic related, with a second problem in the next post for those who don't like group theory.
Remember to have fun and take it easy.
>>8670377
And here is #2.
>>8670377
i don't know any group theory
>>8670380
That's why there's a 2nd problem.
Who here /wordsmith/
The masters is a pretentious degree,
for those without a PhD,
and when found out, I will REE,
at least i'm better than BSc!
Lowly than a maggot,
if I were to snag it,
this would I would tag it,
OP is a faggot!

Wow that was shitty, not at all witty. My lines are all but linear, more like your mouth, when I cut it ear-to-ear.

Next time I will just post Bane.

Yes.
I've smoked just 15 cigarettes per day and got lung cancer at 22, so I tried to cure it with 20 cigs per day and it moved to my brain! DOES NOT WORK!!!
Hey /sci/, I want to do my thesis in determining the mechanism of a catalyzed polymerization using computational methods. More specifically, using QM/MM methods (Quantum Mechanics/Molecular Mechanics hybrid). The problem is that I do not know shit about that, what software to use or if the ones available are reliable.
Do you know any books that describe those methods in detail? What software are the better if there is a good one? I don’t have any problem if I have to learn a new programming language, learn advanced numerical methods or complex quantum chemistry.
Also, chemistry thread
>>8669787
Woah, a fellow computational chemist here on /sci/, rare
QM/MM codes are generally written by the group themselves
Other than that Gaussian, MOLCAS, GAMESS provide good tools for methods like CASSCF and DFT
Frank Neese's ORCA is also a powerful software (my favorite) since it is free
Anyone got some good resources on this kind of subject?
>>8669855
On what language or platform are usually written those codes? and how long would it take? (I consider myself as a good programmer, but I am not an expert)
Thanks for replying
How long have you had your calculator? How many times have you changed the battery? How long do you think you'll keep using it for?
>6 years
>once
>probably another 4 at least
I've had the exact same calculator for 3 years now, haven't had to change the battery so far. Probably gonna use it for another 3 years.
>>8669546
>How long have you had your calculator?
Since high school, so about 10 years
>How long do you think you'll keep using it for?
I haven't used it since junior year of undergrad (this was when my "do problems" math classes ceased, and I started taking classes like analysis).
Nowadays, if I need to compute something, I reach for Mathematica, MATLAB, or even just Wolfram Alpha.
>>8669546
I had a ballin' calculator for a decade. A TI-30X. Stole it from my middle school geometry class. Then I dropped it on some pavement and the LCD cracked. It was like my fucking dog died, man.
Can science explain why every time my cab / uber driver is NEVER a female?
i've never seen a female deliver me pizza before
>>8669236
sage
Cause they can't drive
If I were an average female I would not want to get in a car with a stranger or deliver to a random house either
Imagine if you literally half of the population could overpower you relatively easily
It would be scary
