Wow cool shit

I don't see what the big deal is, did we not know that our galaxy was moving until now? I thought that the entire Universe was expanding, including our own galaxy, and I remember reading about Andromeda moving towards the Milky Way as well.

I'm sorry to break it to you, but personal glasses or contact lens displays will completely obviate the need for 3d holographic displays. The wearable solution is just so much more tractable and flexible.

The plasma one works like a gamma knife, where they use lasers that individual do not ionize air, but when crossed, produce dielectric breakdown and thus plasma.

Shoot. Well, good to know. Thanks for the detailed explanation.

At least, the HoloLens looks badass. Everything that I have seen about the HoloLens looks amazing.

These guys made it so touching the plasma changed its shape rather than just make the plasma garbled up

shit's got a fucking long way to go before we're tony stark though

I don't know why you are mentioning Darwin.

Yes, that can happen. A term you might want to look up is called "evolutionary arms race".

I study best at the library or at my parents.

>>8643234
at work where a lot of people are working quietly. I feel like having people notice you adds some pressure to be a good student/ employee and I feel more productive. I fear the judgment I may get when others see me dilly dallying on my phone or computer.

>Give me a list starting from basic maths (i.e. Additions, etc...) all the way to the highest of tiers of mathematical subjects.
Why does every faggot who makes this thread ask for this much stuff

There's no point in recommending algebraic topology books to somebody who can't factor quadratics

You won't even be qualified to decide if you want to read it for minimum the next 3-4 years, let alone be ready to actually read it

Pick up the nearest thing you need to learn and start learning it if you actually want to learn math and not just jack off over fantasies about learning math

>>8643190
Thanks. I found what I was looking for on the /sci/ guide website. Well, at least tell me your favorite subject and favorite formula.

>Beginner
Addition (=sequencing in disguise), multiplication (=addition in disguise), exponents (=addition in disguise), substraction (=addition in disguise), dividing (=addition in disguise), fractions (=addition in disguise), functions, relations, defining pi and sqrt(2)

>Introductory level
Derivatives, integrals, logarithms, triangle functions and shit, rings, tensors, vector fields, infinity and limits, probability and statistics, geometry

>Little warm -tier
Riemann hypothesis, Goldbach conjectures, constructing AI girlfriend, P vs NP, spacetime manifolds

>God tier
Defining 1+1 =2
Proving that if 8<6, the statement is false

>Utopia tier
Defining the verb 'IS'
Defining the verb 'CHANGE'

>Legendary Archangel Aria of Endless Tears -tier
Answering the question: why shouldn't I just kill myself now?

>Heart of the God -tier
Finding at least one thing in your existence that you can even remotely consider 'true'

And then look closely at this paper on the so-called "Penrose notation"

WTF am I reading? has pure maths gone too far??

HAHAHA what the fuck

Erwin Schrodinger - What is life?

It's short and fun. You do need some knowledge of Thermodynamics and Calculus to understand it, tho.

>>Preferably not horribly boring.

>>8643164
again you? if you find science and math horribly boring then stop looking for it and go do something else

it all depends, if you have something to contribute to the lab, welcome on in, if not, quit wasting our time

STEM seems to be the one field where feminist agendas cease to apply. There are plenty of successful female scientists, and almost every STEM major says >>8643137 this or something similar.

Contribute. Not to make some kind of political statement or focus on SJW bullshit. Contribute because you love your work. "Dont act like hot shit and you'll be fine" is all you'll ever get.

We need women to clean the labs during the night shift

This would be harder but I think possible, to only allow certain things on the computer for example so work is possible.
This would mean you have 2 choices, work or don't work, not working means you would have nothing to do but think/sleep/eat, there could also be punishments if you do not work to further physically enforce self-control.
What do you think, would something like this be effective to increase productivity/self-control?

>>8643020
I didn't have enough self discipline to read this whole post.

except there's nothing that forces you to adhere to the schedule.

whats an oz?

I was very skeptical, but the more I see it progressing over time, the more excited I become.

The catch is I think it only works really well for certain types of crops, and I doubt it would be practical to serve as a complete replacement

Building a skyscraper is way more expensive in ft square than buying a field.

Why would they? B and C share the shaft in the upper picture.
Get some lego technic if you can't understand. I was obsessed with gears when I was a child.

B and C have same RPM at the top while different RPM at the bottom

what is the inverse of gear ratio?

>>8642351
So, black holes exist?

Bohr solved one of the biggest open problems in physics at the time, in doing so he created the old quantum theory. Sure, he ended up not quite being right, but it was an incredibly important step in the right direction. He also contributed to new quantum theory.
