exactly 500 liters? it's constrained optimization. you're minimizing the surface area under the constraint volume = 500 liters.

How do trees live so long compared to humans? Do they have an immune system? Do they get cancer?

They don't have an active immune system like white blood cells, but produce enzymes and chemicals to fight off infection.

They don't get full blown cancer but can grow tumors that are called burls. They're usually benign.

That's really cool and interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Sometimes trees seem like mythical Gods the way they turn air into strength and height, run on sunlight, and live so much longer than humans.

Can we create new propulsion methods (especially for aeroplanes) without years of investigation and large budgets?

>Aerospace Engineer here

No, we can't.
Propulsion systems are extremely complex and take years of research to make them stable enough. This is because they rely on 3 difficult subjects: fluid mechanics anf thermodynamics. Plus, you also need a control system, and sensors which do not interfere too much with fluid flow.
So it is already complicated enough but there's more. The system will also need cooling. Then, a system to control vibrations.
Finally, it also needs to be within a reasonable budget.
So, no.
Now, it is totally possible that you may discover a new propulsion system ato home. However, in order for it to be used on a plane/helicopter, it takes years of research to adapt it.

How long would it take a mass dropped from the ISS (~400km above the surface) to hit the ground? Even with my limited knowledge of calculus, I have no idea how to solve these types of problems where the acceleration due to gravity is constantly changing...

I will exclude friction since you specify nothing more about your mass.
With the second law of movement you get:
[eqn]\ddot r \left(t\right) \,=\, - \mathscr G \, \frac{M_\oplus}{r \left(t\right)^2}[/eqn]
It's a nonlinear differential equation. You can try to approximate it by taking the tangent of the term on the right and get a linear differential equation. At least that's what a non-autistic physicist would do.
>>
It will never hit the ground if you ignore friction because it'd be in orbit.

Is Bill Gaede's "rope theory" among many of his other ideas a bunch of bullshit, or does it actually make sense? I mean, as a theory it seems understandable, but because he fails to go in significant detail with most of it, it seems as if it's lacking too much to be considered credible or realistic.

Then again, I know almost nothing about physics in any way, and my understand of it is very limited.

Thoughts?

His theories seem sound until you apply other elementary properties of physics to it. For example, the variations of gravity and light around, say, the sun would not apply to string theory. Instead, gravity would have to be constant, which when looking at it from inverse square law would not be the case with strings. I fail to understand (and please don't let my failure to understand something undermine it) how when something spinning is required to have constant acceleration how these "ropes" of force would supply that acceleration without varying the gravity of other objects by changing from one atom to another while still simultaneously connecting two distant objects.

Then again I just had four beers so if I'm missing something please let me know.

Are mental illnesses real?
Im not talking about these extremely weird actually autistic kids, who yell at there parents and don't have the actual mental capacity to understand anything.
Im talking about you "adds", your "ass-burgers/HFA", your "depression", the "bipolar" ect.
All throughout school, i always knew at-least 5 people in every class who had add, and every other girl claimed to be bi-polar, or have that condition where they want to make sure everything is balance (forgot the name).
The point is, people where are willy-nilly with it and the general consensus is that many of these conditions (such as add and depression) are extremely over-diagnosed, if even real in the first place? I'de like to hear some thoughts.

I think it is hard to tell because the definition of a "normal mental state" is rather fuzzy. But, idk, it felt real when I was diagnosed with depression.
>>
>>8609058
Of course it's over-diagnosed. Prescription drugs is a billion dollar industry.
>>
If you go about it based on actual diagnoses instead of tumblr special snowflakes the number of misdiagnosed people decreases substantially, but there's still a fair amount of 'muh prescribe amphetamines to five-year-olds'. The conditions themselves are real, I've said it here before but adhd patients specifically have shown an imbalance of dopamine and noradrenaline in their brains.

I have a minor rectal prolapse. I'm 23. I probably got it from straining to shit. I've been squatting to shit instead of sitting for about a year, but I think I got the prolapse before then. I plan to eat less meat, more vegetables, and do kegels. What other things can I do besides surgery? I don't want to do surgery unless it's absolutely necessary. My parents circumcised me unnecessarily so I'm skeptical of surgery.

You're right. I bought a prostate massager and stuck it up my butt a few times to masturbate. I also stick bars of soap up my ass to be able to shit more easily. Though the soap thing is more likely a product of the prolapse rather than the cause.

why do my ears keep getting clogged up with wax? every 3 fuckin months I have to get them cleaned and 1 month after it starts dripping out nasty ass thick brown wax. why, how do i stop this.

P.S. I'm a musician so I spend a good deal with in-ear monitors, could this be a cause, if so, nothing I can do about it I guess.

>how do I stop this
Stop wearing IEMs. If you're not willing to do that, then just get used to getting your ears cleaned out regularly.
>>
>>8607565
I thought so, my doctor said that def isn't the cause but I don't trust him, he tried to scam me once with an allergy test and he doesn't even know what note 440Hz. Anyway thanks for your help man, at least now I know the cause, passion takes sacrifices I guess.
>>
>>8607421
mate... just use your finger to clean your ears in the shower. or use a q-tip (CAREFULLY) to clean in your ear every week or so.

how can you not clean that shit to the point where it starts coming out? it's like not wiping your ass.

Hey guys, anyone has this book in PDF/djvu/whatever?

I'm basically looking how to get a Dirac equation using geometric algebra (Grassman/Clifford), since it's a way cooler and modern way compared to what Dirac himself did and wrote his book on.

Additionaly i'm looking for some info on solutions for neutrinos using spinors, i'm not really that interested in see-saw mechanism and majorana mass this comes later.

I need to write a small paper on this (not for publishing) and i can't find enough literature.

Unfortunately in order to understand that, you should get a more serious book about spinors and understand their connections with Clifford Algebra.
Try to take a look at the Lounesto, Terrence & Tucker, Vaz e Da Rocha.
A good reference book is Clifford Algebra and the Classical Groups by Ian Porteous, but you will find only math there.
