Should psychology be considered a science? If not, why? If so, kill yourself? It's literally just a bunch of shit we don't need to know that creates even more hypochondriacs, right?

heh, its pretty funny, psychology if you know how to use it can help you run the world.

He was successful because he was born rich in an influential family, people have used religion and all manner of other bullshit for the same means, but the rules of propaganda have changed dramatically since Bernays.
Its beginning to look like i am an Elon Musk fanboy but it’s not quite that. The truth is that he and his team keep trying to push their limits on what their next mission should be. And this time is no different. http://plugnstay.com/mars2018-spacex-challenges-again-with-the-red-dragon/

While I'm always happy to see the space exploration sector make positive moves, this is the literal definition of it's fucking nothing.

What would space combat look like? How would it be conducted, and would conventional military strategies like the central position work in it?
>>8049318
Like submarine warfare, except at much greater distances and bound by orbital mechanics
No.
>>8049320
Interesting. Would stealth mechanics work in space?
what evolutionary consequences would result from women experiencing direct pleasure from a male eyaculating straight into their unprotected vagina. Like, something like a semen receptor in the uterus that causes a huge orgasm like response when it comes into contact with the male semen.
would it be an evolutionary advantage? what consequences would it bring? i think it would certainly make the rate of pregnancies higher.
Are there any current evidences of people evolving to avoid birth control.
pic related is the object of this scientific question
>>8047147
it's only an advantage when i do it
Women DO experience a pleasurable feeling when they've been pumped with a load. It's a feeling that last a while also.
They would fuck anyone no mater how unfitt they are (in an evulotionary sense)
If diamonds are made of coal, then why are diamonds not black?
>>8055216
They're not made of coal, they're made of carbon.
>>8055216
You can see it like this:
[math]X = [/math] coal [math] \implies [/math] carbon [math]\in X [/math]
[math]X = [/math] diamond [math] \implies [/math] carbon [math]\in X [/math]
It's a one way implication. Containing carbon says nothing about what the material actually is.

Hey sci,
I was wondering if any of you are self-studying maths? And if you are, how are you progressing?
I have finished the first year of my math degree with all As and have been surprised to find that, after a break from education, I'm starting to understand the beauty of mathematics. And I used to think that people who said it were deluding themselves instead of finding beauty in art, music, or literature.
I've already consulted the module details for the following year and I plan on studying it all during the summer, anyone else doing this...

Hey op, been studying linear algebra and above on my own for a year or two. I'm a data forensics major btw. Khan academy is good place to learn from.

-0 is a lesser number then 0.
-1 is also a lesser number then 0.
-0 and 0 are identical values

How close are we to self replicating machines?
Wouldnt that mean a radical change in the way society is structured?
i mean like, nowadays you have developed countries with technology and undeveloped countries who submit willingly to the developed ones because they are addicted to the techonology
but what if machines were self supporting and self replicating, it would be like having a tree that grows smartphones, just water it or give it plastic or whatever it wants but no need for a complex infrastructure.
Also, would self replicating machines of...

No. This whole post is the unfortunate abortion of your incredible boredom and exposure to popsci/scifi.

>r incredible boredom and exposure to popsci/scifi.
well at least you didnt call me on my ignorance, thank you
what i mean is, what is the closest to this we got? is there any project aiming for even something similar to this? im sure there must be research done about it, at least theoretical

>implying DARPA hasnt already infested every home on Earth with self-replicating nanobots
Only 16080 hours left for SpaceX to send Red Dragon to Mars.
I admire him for being curious and having enough of an interest to explore space, that said, I think it should be left to the Public Sector to do so. Private Sector is so far behind and lacks funds substantially.
>>8036026
>private sector is behind
>public sector is ahead
what in the fuck are you even saying, the only time the public gets off their lazy social-wellfare asses and politicians taking funds for themselves is in times of war

Nope

Haven't taken math since high school, so I hope I didn't fuck anything up
Anyway
When we consider opposing tetragons, we see that they consist of two triangles. A right angled triangle that's the same for each segment, and two traingles with base b and height h1 and h2.
The surface area of a triangle is equal to 1/2 base*height. Their combined surface is as follows:
A = 1/2 b * h1 + 1/2 b * h2
A = 1/2 b (h1 + h2)
h1 + h2 is constant, so no matter where we move the centre point, the combined surface area of...

So what does /sci/ do to combat global warming?
I personally try to influence my peers to read into it more by posting about different things on facebook from denialism, false logic tactics, and examples of current events caused by AGW.
I think it's a Jewish ploy to reduce American industry and productivity.
>>8052185
Then how come all of the west (europe) also tries to combat it? Surely it will affect their industry and productivity just as much.
>>8052185
>>8052194
This isn't a thread for open debate on AGW.
Anyone who isn't a contrarian, or a shill, or a redneck with a personal interest in fossil fuels knows that it's a reality and that we have to rectify our energy and production systems.
What I want to hear is if any of you do anything about it.
