you guys should put a link to explanations, I think
also, move to webms already... you can download webms from youtube with youtube-dl

I tried this with a car battery (my understanding is that that copper is a wire) and jack shit happened, so it must be hooked up to significant voltage, or maybe I was wrong

I wish I could reduce that to something absurd, but I guess that's already as funny a sentence as it gets.

I think it's supercooled water.
as soon as it finds a site to start growing crystals it can finally freeze.

>>6597376
the continents are drifting the other way around. The Americas are going to hit asian, not crunch back with Africa and Europe.

>>6598513
there is supercooled water that looks remarkably like that, though. you can find plenty of videos of it on youtube, it's really trippy looking.

>>6597995
"At 13.2 degrees Celsius (about 56 degrees Fahrenheit) and below, pure tin transforms from the silvery, ductile metallic allotrope of ?-form white tin to brittle, nonmetallic, ?-form grey tin with a diamond structure. The transformation is slow to initiate due to a high activation energy but the presence of germanium (or crystal structures of similar form and size) or very low temperatures ~?30 degrees Celsius aids the initiation. There is also a large volume increase of about 27% associated with the phase change. Eventually the ?-form decomposes into powder, hence the name tin pest.[3]

The decomposition will catalyze itself, which is why the reaction speeds up once it starts; the mere presence of tin pest leads to more tin pest. Tin objects at low temperatures will simply disintegrate."

Don't you realize that every little bit of exposure to the interesting things that humans do is good for our species?

What are you? Fucking 12? Do you have to shun those who know less than you?

Seriously. Fuck you, anon.

Instead of sitting there on a Friday night complaining about a gif which explains what radians are graphically, why don't you go and fucking tutor someone who has never solved for tan(x) = .707 instead of complaining that a poster isn't rigorous enough?

Or, perhaps, if that isn't your thing -- why don't you just go fucking jump off a cliff instead of impeading knoweldge.

>>6605072
LFTRs are part of the Gen IV nuclear reactors, which means they're only in the design stage right now, there hasn't even been a prototype developed. Gen IV reactors are expected to become commercially available in 2030, so comparing LFTRs to LWRs or SBRs - reactors that were built in the 60s and 70s - is comparing apples to oranges. In fact there are Molten Salt Uranium reactors that are equally viable as the LFTR and there is a Traveling Wave reactor that uses depleted uranium that is imho so much safer because all of the necessary uranium for the next millennium has already been mined and is being stored in holding tanks, and will only need to have its fuel replaced every decade or so, compared to the LFTR of I think 120 days, that seems to be the standard number of a molten salt reactor but I have no idea.

>>6606720
we are alreay using it

>>6605846

I didn't understand surface integrals until I found an application for them.

Imagine a steel plate in a magnetic field - you don't care about the volume of the area beneath the plate (Which is what a double integral would give you), you care about the sum of magnetic field lines that intersect the plate (Because that's the first step to finding out how much current will be generated if you move the steel plate).

The math is approximately well-explained here:

http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/CalcIII/SurfaceIntegrals.aspx

(Also, I am amazed that page still exists. I used it when learning about Laplace Transforms back in... 2009? The internet never forgets.)

>>6606745

im curious as to what these explain, anyone care to explain any of them?

>>6597376
I thought that when andromeda passes through the Milky Way there would be too much space between space between each star for any damage to be done solar systems in either galaxy. Though I may be mistaken.

>>6609456
well there are billions of stars in each galaxy so there is a high chance that things could go crazy, it would be weird if nothing happened.

>>6609449
first is swing atwood machine
second is double pendulum
both are chaotic systems

>>6609470
as long as we don't get flung to a dense part of either galaxy we wouldn't notice much

>>6609480
that's true, but something would still happen either way.

>>6609475
thanks for the info young blood, any idea on the third and fourth?

we don't notice any interactions with stars in our system.
we wouldn't notice andromeda either.
>>6609488
third is a 2d wave.
fourth is pretty self explanatory. do you know any trig?

sadly i havent into trig yet. im pretty mathematically impaired

care to explain?

>>6609535
Well that explains why you don't get the fourth one.
sin and cos are two trig functions or functions that have to do with right triangles (a triangle with an angle that is 90 degrees).
They map an angle to a ratio of sides. The gif shows how the two functions change with changes in the angle

>>6609540
okay i seem to understand a little more now thanks.

They say 100,00 years is the minimum it would take humanity to colonize the galaxy with some level of feasibility
In 8 million years, all or most of the C02 in our atmosphere will have left Earth, making photosynthesis impossible anyways
When Earth becomes a desert do to the warning of the Sun, our solar systems habitability zone will shift towards Mars, making Mars a paradise for humans and should last us an extra billion years
If the TOE is correct, protons themselves will decay in several trillion years, making matter will be impossible
If anything else, protons will just decay into neutrons and can easily change back into protons
If science fiction writers and speculists are correct, humanity may some day prevent the death of the universe with our superior technology in the far future

>>6610756
Idk, of all the times in history it is probably best to be alive right now. Sure, if you are rich and powerful centuries ago, you could explore the world, but if you are poor though shit, you would die young and live a painful life.

Who know, in 20 years there could be a war and civilisation collapses. We might just be living in the best time in history.

uranium LWR got so widespread because they had military applications in a cold war world, ie making weapons grade material.

LFTRs really are that much better, were just still stuck with the cold wars nuclear legacy.

>>6608140
those spirals

>>6611252
No, LWRs got so widespread because they're straightforward, can be made of cheap materials, are based in the very well-understood engineering of steam turbines, and don't have as much potential to go horribly, horribly wrong as something like graphite-moderated reactors.

LFTRs were mostly in competition with LMFRs (liquid-metal fast reactors), as compact, high-power-density breeder reactors for long-term independence of naval vessels, and LMFRs won because they were cheaper, more compatible with existing infrastructure, ran on cheaper fuel, and generally worked better.

Attempts to scale up LMFRs from naval reactor to power plant did not provide the expected economies of scale. Instead, they found that the corrosive molten metal provided unending headaches in a large reactor. The even more corrosive molten fluoride salts in an LFTR would be even more impractical for economical operation. Hot water's much easier to deal with, or at least we have centuries of experience with it, so we're very good at it. Now proposed fast reactors tend toward helium coolant, which if not as familiar as water, is at least entirely non-corrosive.

For bomb production, it's generally better to use an isotope production reactor, rather than deal with fuel rods full of nasty fission fragments and unwanted plutonium isotopes. These can be kept near room temperature, instead of running hot to generate power, which tremendously simplifies their engineering. Uranium's cheap, so "wasting" it just to produce neutrons isn't a problem for countries with large, secure supplies.

That's what the fluoride in your toothpaste does, anon. It hardens the tooth against etching by acid. Brush regularly and you'll be okay.
