Post all your stupid questions that don't deserve their own thread here.

Are there any conditions or mechanisms under which a large star like the sun could suddenly extinguish?

in this video game, a man cuts through though the head of someone with a shovel

is this even possible given that the victim is standing up? I would think he would at worst just be dented, but mostly pushed

now question to any possible medfags:

my head starts hurting when I try to fap (kind of dull pain all around the head), is my blood pressure too high or too low?

>read this paper by a researcher with 100s of citations
>follow his method to try to repeat the results
>method doesn't work and results are shit
>send email to researcher asking wtf bro method doesn't work pls halp
>replies back saying I'm probably not doing something right
>mfw I followed his method step by step and still don't get the results
>doesn't reply back to me again
>mfw

This shit has happens to me a few times now. Why do researchers even bother to post their """"method"""" if it is deliberately (or accidentally) inaccurate? I mean if their exact method is patented then perhaps I can understand, but they never disclose this.

40% of statistics are made up.

A recent analysis of citations showed that people were just citing studies, and citing the studies of those that study cited to pad their citations, thinking that no one would check.

A lot of papers are junk, but, hey, published.

>Multicellular life can occur on a habitable planet.
>This supposed life can advance to a level where they can achieve means of interstellar communication and space travel.
>This supposed life can visit and send probes to other planets.

Since we, -the humankind- is the existing proof of concept to this idea, why do some people absolutely reject the possibility of alien life elsewhere?
Also among the +100 billion habitable planets out there just in the milky way, shouldn't atleast one of them must have developed intelligent life just like Earth?

because some people believe the world is 6000 years old and was created by some angry old dude in the sky.

People who are incapable of understanding simple statistics deny the possibility of alien life.

The question is not whether alien life exists, but for how long.

I vaguely remember that.

I don't know. Anytime I hear people start talking about Schrodinger's cat or wave functions collapsing, I just assume they are a laymen. I think they are too much of a pop-sci meme to be disentangled from the actual science.
