Obviously fake. And obviously not written by a woman. Sounds like it was written by a teenage or college age boy with a poor High School level education, mild Aspergers, and anger issues.

Unfortunately 'the reason everyone should be vaccinated' does not exist on its own in a vacuum. There is also 'the reason why not everyone should be vaccinated /or with not all vaccines'.
Do you find it regrettable that scientific studies based on race are defacto banned? Good luck finding funding to analyse the difference between the brain of an East Asian and the brain of a Negro.

Same here dude. Personally, race is the only thing on my mind 24/7 so to see it so tragically understudied in the sciences makes my blood boil.

It is currently the greatest tragedy in modern science, after the subjugation of climate change truthers.

They aren't banned, and are actually pretty common.
But /pol/tards aren't going to allow reality to get in the way of their persecution fetish.
Here's a revolutionary idea: The universe is a proto consciousness that cannot understand itself. What I mean by this is, imagine humans, they didn't always know about their bodies, lots of misconceptions, lots of wrongly attributed ideas, blaming the paranormal for diseases, etc. But with the progress of science, we can finally explore our bodies which we did know about. cameras and other imaging tools assist this even further.
I believe we were destined to be created inside the universe to experience it and feed the data back to the source so it can understand it better. I also think there many forms of conscious organisms and evolution helps assist that. I also believe there are other super evolutionary advanced organisms in the universe, more than us. This all helps to feed data back to the source, the universe which essentially feeds back to us.
Our goal is to become the universe.. We were always the universe

The most immediate question is for what purpose? Your whole postulation is synonymous with meta-pantheism, which is not saying much.
Might I point out that a lot of what you are conveying is contingent on a kind of 'word-play', that is when you remark: "Our goal is to become the universe.. We were always the universe"; We were always the universe because we necessarily are part of the definition we have prescribed to everything materially existent. However, I understand that what you mean to say is becoming a kind of 'one super-consciousness'.
In this case, if the universe were trying to better 'understand' itself, beginning from some kind of elemental state, i.e a low entropic state, it would perhaps prefer not to limit itself in such a way that allowing other conscious agents to arise within itself (such as humans) is highly improbable.
I think you should dwell on this a little more, anon; this really is not the board for this stripe of content.

we should look at it from scientist's perspective. By applying Occam's razor we can say, that the simplest answer to everything is God. It doesn't clutter us with unnecessary theories about various "forces" and other nature's phenomenon. Simply ask yourself - why this computer works and the answer will be self evident - because God made it so.

Why doesn't a bouncy ball transfer all its energy into the ground when it hits it?
Why does some of the energy seem to come back into it an change its motion from up to down?
I mean I get that things are elastic but I guess I'm asking why? Elasticity seems counterintuitive.

Things don't want to be deformed. When they get deformed, they bounce back. This is what transfers force back to the ball. The floor bounces back.
>>
>>8608656
I'm not sure this will help you since I never thought it was counterintuitive but this its just law of conservation of the movement ( p = mv ), since it's impossible to move the earth from it's surface, it has to go back somewhere, which is in the ball.
I couldn't go deeper in the explanations since I HATE chemistry, but from a molecular point of view this also totally make sense,
when the ball hits the wall ( or the ground ), it gets distorted : every molecules suddenly gets closer, and I find pretty natural that the ball want to regain it's relaxed position the most efficient way possible.

>every molecules suddenly gets closer, and I find pretty natural that the ball want to regain it's relaxed position the most efficient way possible.
Correct, the energy imparted into the molecules is released in the form of motion as they resist compression. That's why you can't bounce a ball made of glass as the molecules don't contract and expand, they just shatter the strength of bonds holding them together is exceeded far beyond their ability to deform.

Is studying anything related to computer science a waste of time compared to studying maths, unless I want to directly use it for practical purposes? Can I safely ignore formal CS?

The only college degree that gives jobs is Computer Science. You have two choices: CS or blue-collar work. Choose.

>Can I safely ignore formal CS?
Formal CS is mostly applied stats, calculus, and linear algebra.
So, from what I have seen, I would say yes.

wtf are you talking about ?
if you get a completely new brain youre dead, because you have severed all the nerves in your back and cant atteach them all back in the right way. also you are then trapped in the brain you threw into the bin. this means ur ded.

So I want to get prepared for college so when I enroll in engineering I'll be able to take calculus I, looking at Khan Academy I want to do Algebra, Geometry, Trig, Pre Calc and Statistics and Probability. Is this the proper course I should take to be prepared or should I skip through Stats and Prob?

Algebra, Trigonometry, and Pre-calc (exponentials and logarithms) are the most important subjects.
>>
>>8608026
What is precalc? We dont have it in my country
>>
>>8608026
So should I just skip over Geometry and Stats and Prob? I would like to be able to take a placement test and qualify to be able to take Calculus I or close

So is 1500 hours as a trainee worth it? The pay is ~$16/hr around here as a tech (not trainee).
There aren't many other jobs. Anyone have experience as a tech

Yeah, with just a bachelor's in biochem, that's about what you can expect, with a couple years experience you could earn $20-25.
Look at it this way, you'd probably make a lot less than $16/hr waiting tables and this is at least tangentially helpful to your resume.

They've had the entire history of the multiverse and an eternity to develop the ability to know about our existence.
They have no reason to ignore us.
Since we haven't been contacted yet, that means they don't exist. It's just no likely we'd not be visited.
My speculation is they reached a point where they decided to end it via voluntary extinction.
How likely is that given the entire span of the multiverse and an eternity an alien species wouldn't reshape everything so that we notice them at least?

No it's not. If you want a semblance of rigour go for other textbooks. Say Arnold for mechanics or any modern introductory book for QM. Get your facts straight moran.

Ok /sci/ nerds I'm here to ask you guys to redirect me to the experiment that measured the speed of light in a vacuum. From everything that I've researched, the speed of light has been determined using lasers and mirrors. Every single experiment I find can't prove light passes through a vacuum.
Tell me why I'm dumb. Is there an experiment that can prove light can pass through a vacuum?
If the speed of light slows down in water, then wouldn't the speed also change in a vacuum? The speed of light must change when in a vacuum if it is able to travel through nothingness at all. All experiments were conducted in our atmosphere.
It takes simple math to find that it takes light from the sun about 8 minutes and 20 seconds to reach Earth. These claims insist that the speed of light is the same as the results conducted in our atmosphere.

There HAVE been experiments in vacuum. And they have verified that speed of light is 3*10^8 m/s.
However, air has a very small diffraction coefficient (about 1.01) and so the velocity for air is almost the same as c.
>>
>>8606956
The instantaneous velocity of a photon never changes. The only reason why light is "slower" going through a transparent or translucent material is because it is being refracted and thus is not taking a direct path from the source to the viewer.
>>
>>8606964
What experiments? That's what I'm trying to see. How did they do it?
