Nothing should be done about it except what has been done.(at least in most Western societies).

You give everyone a chance(e.g equality of opportunity), so as to make sure that the people who actually excel do so by ability and merit, and not by any unjust means.

But a tremendous amount of people will never be able to succeed in any non-trivial activity no matter how much they try and regardless of the resources made available to them because they had the misfortune of being born with a low IQ.

Should we not attempt to enhance their intelligence in some way; or at least try to prevent the birth of those who would be burdened with very limited intellectual capacity?

And? We live in a social hierarchy based on dominance.

Some people are on the top, and others are not. That doesn't mean that the people on the bottom are axiomatically worthless, because they usually have jobs that are useful for society in general, such as garbage collecting or whatever.

It's good that you agree.

i don't really get your point OP

>>8612172
>>implying alchemy isn't a symbolic process of spiritual transformation
It isn't though

>>8612251
Do you really think the symbolism in the OP is about chemistry?

>>8612045
the answer
is 4

>>8612045
have you read the wikipedia article for the birthday problem? it should probably allow you to do the calculations.

>>8612049

As satisfying as I'm sure calculating this myself would be it's beyond my capability. Math isn't something I'm competent at.

I was hoping someone might provide an answer and get a bit enjoyment out of doing so!

We're not evolved from apex predators. Lots of things would try to eat our ancestors.

>>8612017
Well, basically apex predators. There was nothing that hunted homo sapiens that were not also hunted by homo sapiens.

>>8612024
Not much actively hunted humans because we're very wirey skinny things compared to other prey our side. We don't provide enough calories to be worth the effort.
Things just didn't bother actively hunting humans because it just isn't worth it.


Secondly, attributing things like predator/prey to alien life is pretty silly. I'm sure the line between plant/animal/fungi will be fairly blurry and nearly meaningless if we're talking alien life.

Anyways a new ice age will be here in the next 400 years

>>8611724
You're talking about the difference between 200 million years before humans and the rapid change now. .6C is a lot for just 200 years. The Earth can handle it, we can't.

Humans are fucking pussies

Oh, wow this is interesting.
What field of science studies the global temperature?

Anybody here have any info what this means?

The alien is probably trying to fuck with me and will kill or not kill me independent of my answers, for the majority of these questions are either ambiguous without further specification of terms, have no simple yes/no answer but rather a more subtle one, or assume by their phrasing something that isn't true and therefore have no meaningful answer anymore than "have you stopped beating your wife yet".

>What if we had a space that wasn't expanding, and wouldn't let any energy in or out of it? Would the energy in there reach some equilibrium?
Yes.

Energy is not always conserved. Conservation of energy originates from time translation symmetry. It might be valid if you consider doing an experiment today and again tomorrow, but not today and 13.6 billion years ago.

only true if k=c

where can I see this formula? links

I don't get it, couldn't the scientist tell if their papers were bullshit by, I don't know, readin them maybe?


Fucks sakes.

>>8610813
You were wrong for reading about this preposterous affair.

The scientific establishment is corrupt. It is total garbage. This board and the teenagers on reddit love to worship it, though. It gives them something to do. Something to feel good about. Something they can lord over their peers. In reality, scientists and academics are frauds.

>I got into a heated debate with someone today because I told them the Big Bang Theory was not a theory anymore, because evidence suggests it did not happen (there are countless other possibilities, look up some of them), and a theory cannot have any evidence that disproves it or supports another hypothesis. What do you guys think? Is the Big Bang Theory a theory at all?

I think you confused well researched evidence for shit some asshole said on the internet somewhere when you concluded that there were other serious competing theories for origin of the universe.

>>8610543
I don't get it. This is 3D space right?

Imagine if D was simply in C and then A and B are somewhere in another plane.

or is this 2D space?

I assume this is 3D because you say "a plane" and not "the plane".

>>8610582
It's 3D. But is it theoretically for a plane to never touch the hyperbola, even though the hyperbola is infinite in both directions?

>>8610621
Shouldn't D be 4-dimensional?
