Out of all the options, what would be the best, most plausible, or easiest satellites to colonize?
>The moon
>Mars
>Venus
>Titan
>Europa
Bonus: What's /sci/'s opinion on Terra forming? Is it a good idea? or would domed and floating cities be a better idea, hypothetically saying we would have levitation technology
>>8111450
Damun.
>>8111450
The moon, absolutely.

Cuz dey got cheese n shiet there.
I'm self-studying and completing the exercises. This text doesn't have any solutions to the proofs and even though I'm confident I'm doing some of these problems correctly I have no way of knowing 100% if I made a mistake somewhere.
This can give the reader a false sense of security they are doing the exercises correctly without validating their work.
Why are math textbooks like this?
Theorem-Proof-Exercises-No solutions to check work
Because they expect you to buy a solutions manual. Also most students are lazy and would just copy the answers.
It sucks I know.

lol what kind of baby level book are you talking about
This drives me nuts in just about every textbook I own.
>Stars, planets, and gas make up only 5 percent of the Universe. The rest is 25 percent dark matter and 70 percent dark energy, both of which are invisible and have never been directly detected.
This theory sure gets trotted out as immutable fact a lot lately. When will science admit that cosmology is just plain broken?
>>8118590
Would you prefer the alternative?
>>8118590
>Stars, planets, and gas make up only 5 percent of the Universe
Correction: observable matter only holds 5% of the total energy content of the Universe. The rest is divided into matter which we cannot see, and an energy density of free space which drives the accelerated expansion of spacetime.

It's about as substantiated.
0^0 = 1
Prove me wrong.
Pro tip: You can't.
Because it's not wrong. One times zero, zero times is still one.
It's not wrong.

If it makes you feel any better, google calculator agrees with you even though you're wrong.
Are the days of edgy experiments on animals over?
everyone's a psychologist nowadays

That picture makes me sad
This is literally the scariest thing I've ever heard of

So start developing the benevolent super ai, retard.
is neuroscience a meme? is it actual science? my friend told me any field with the word "science" in it is not actually science and just pretending to be. Is this true? For example politcal science, computer science are not science.
im interested in neuroscience but only want to join a real science and not get ridiculed
at least it's more sciency than psychology
>>8109193
lol, what a good rule of thumb. Haven't heard that one yet, thanks op.
You should do you want though regardless of what /sci/ thinks. Just make sure your investment pans out (for some just gaining that knowledge is enough for it to pan out, but obviously monetary compensation is desirable//necassary
>>8109193
Well, by that logic, physics, chemistry and biology aren't sciences either since they are physical sciences and life science accordingly. How about you read up on what neuroscience is and decide for yourself? Also, I've heard so many people tell me they are interested in neuroscience it's not even funny. Neuroscience is a subfield of biology. Are you interested in biology? Do you know anything about it?
If you trust your friend's dumb definition, you probably won't succeed in science...

lets go.
So how do we get there? If you say warp drive or EM drive, please remove yourself from the gene pool
>>8111851
You know, we just need a ship that's capable of near lightspeed travel, and also large enough to carry enough living space to sustain a colony for 1200 years
Yeah, space travel is fucking impossible
>>8111865
Let's not go then.

The other one is at the bump limit
Why is slope-intercept form so popular, and why do we not use the x-intercept instead of the y-intercept?
>>8107697
> x-intercept and y-intercept
what is the difference?
>>8107700
I mean instead of [math]y=mx + b[/math] why is it not [math]x=\frac{y-b}{m}[/math] the more popular form. Or maybe even something else
Who was the greatest genius of the 20th century?
Has to be one of these guys
Feynman or Woodward, IMO
>>8105350
>feynman
>ahead of Einstein or Neumann
>>8105351
he was smart and not elitist
he conveyed his ideas with poise and clarity
he had a successful marriage and life outside academia
he was remembered extremely fondly by everyone
the others were borderline autists who if they hadnt invented what they did would surely of been looked down upon
What does /sci/ do?
What did /sci/ study?

Computer Science.
Please just end it for me familia

What did /sci/ study?
physics
I get really pissed off when I hear that most Ph.D's in math and physics who remain in academia are getting payed shitty amounts of money, like less than a plumber. And they have to constantly save their asses by applying for grants. And they are under lots of pressure to publish more papers so that they can qualify for these grants.
I want to know right now, WHY DON'T THESE GUYS GET PAYED A SHIT TON MORE MONEY?!??!
Scientists a worth a hell lot more than a banker, a football player, a CEO, and even doctors. Without scientists, none of the technology...

Yeah. wtf.
>>8103223
How little they are paid should make it clear that they are really not that important at all.
This is exactly the issue, most postdocs are working on some weird extremely specific research project that has a few applications in its field and will have no meaningful impact on anyone's lives outside of academia. The vast majority of academic research is like this, and most of the research with actual real-world applications involves some level of equipment and is done by experienced professors or researchers...

No wonder he's homeless.
So anon found this book in his grandfather's belongings after he passed. Supossedly. Would love to know if it says anything or is an excellent prop.
Eugenics?
Artificial enhancements?
Designer genes?
desu senpai, if given the chance. i would choose to be a hot bimbo than a smart dude
>>8105701
There is no next level, only change. If we do become type 2/3 it ain't gonna look human. If civilization collapses, perhaps we'll return to our roots as four-legged simpletons swinging in trees.
>>8105707

Dude it already happened, the first evolved baby was born:
