>What is at the end of our rainbow?
I ask you /sci/, do you have a conceivable idea of our eventual fate?

Immortality : venered on another planets by primitive lifeforms which we've given the light of consciousness, the mastering of the Universe with powerful machines. Other will thrive in virtual worlds, living in hedonism with limitless energy from robotic workers.
This is my thinking on how and where we will go.
Only major changes are included
Asteroid mining
>Obviously
Space-station farming
>Much faster than terraforming
Planet mining
>With a few domed colonies
Genetic manipulation and bionic upgrades
>Eventually leading to the creation of beings capable of living indefinitely
Colony ships
>Obviously
And that's it.

That's it though, isn't it?
Each individual system will be essentially an isolated, independent offshoot of humanity and we regress to living in tribes.
Seems a far way off from the godhood you might normally think of as the pinnacle of humanity.
what does /sci/ think of Alternate Universes?
Just brainfarts
>>8188982
most of them are exactly the same but with better versions of 4chan
I just bricked my TI-84+ trying to install a Chinese OS.
Is the newest TI-84+ CE worth the money or should I go for an older model?

Just get a Casio FX-115es Plus.

I wouldn't be able to store programs for cheating with that.

I'm barely getting into chemistry, whats pic related?

Looks to be an electron orbital, or similar thing. Mathematically, it's a spherical harmonic.
In Einstein’s space-time all space-time exist at the same time. Since all space-time exist at the same time that means all computer files exist at the same time. By using the science of check-sum hacking files can be reconstructed with their check-sums.
A check sum is a number that represents a computer file. All computer files are just numbers.
You can add up all those numbers in a computer file to get a check-sum. Or use more advanced methods to take those numbers in a computer file and get a strong check sum. Moving on....
Now, add in another computer...

Tbh I can't see huge evolutionary benefit in this, so why really bother?
>>8188671
This, if there's no evolutionary advantage there's no point
>>8188649
Do you think you could explain the evolutionary benefit of time travel? I don't see any real reason for it.
That's what this article said about a Japanese satellite that monitored black holes before it malfunctioned. Black holes let out gases that form and maintain galaxies.
Black holes are space vagina's. God is a woman?
http://gizmodo.com/this-is-the-last-thing-japans-lost-black-hole-satellite-1783200724
>>8188051
More mass goes into a black hole then comes out of it. Black holes don't maintain galaxies, they are the result of galaxies.
I disagree.
>>8188051
Life = aids
Stars = white cells
Black holes = ? (bruises?)
What use is the Banach–Tarski paradox?
Why would anyone even need an infinite number of spheres?
>What use is the Banach–Tarski paradox?
demonstrates unexpected results of the axiom of choice
>Why would anyone even need an infinite number of spheres?
what does this have to do with banach-tarski?
>>8187997
idk it was a joke
but my head is so blown everything seems funny
set theory is a mindfuck
>>8187989
>What use
None, it is a manifestation of axioms. It does not mean anything for the real world. Axioms mimic our reality but the problem is that mathematics is so precise that even the universe cannot match it.
Proof:
In the real world circles have both rational diameter and circumference
In mathematics circles have either rational diameter and irrational circumference or irrational circumference and rational diameter.
Thus proving that the universe is actually...

we would be affected?
its gravitational force will be higher?
life would hold its moons? and mars?
Bumping for interest
It would be easier to spot at night, might even be able to see it during the day.
Not sure what would happen to its moons, I think it would be too massive to keep close orbits around it, eating them up.
How is the lifespan of a red dwarf so fucking long? You could build a giant space-base around one and live off it's energy forever.
What is the "Universe."?

I want to know everything about the application of vector calculus. Where do I start?
I already know Stokes, Gauss and Green.
Electromagnetism.
>>8187058
Maxwell's Equations?
learn about forms and differential geometry, then you'll be able to write the general version of Stokes' theorem.
I have my ACT test results back and i scored a 32 in math and a 27 in science but my english and reading scores brought my overall down to a 27.
Is a 32 even good for math? What was everyone else's scores and should I even bother to retake it for a higher score.
>>8182969
32 is fucking awful. Did your parents drop you on your head when you were a child?
>>8182969
i would retake if i were you. I got 31 first time and 35 the next.
Science portion becomes really fucking easy after taking it a few times
Ameriags taking that act thing.
Saw this math challenge some time ago. Supposedly it's for 9th graders in China, but I doubt it. In any case I can't solve it, and it is driving me nuts.
>The challenge is to prove that the distance BD is equal to the distance DP.
B is a static point.
BC is parallell with MN.
BDE is a triangle that rotates around B, and D is always on the MN line.
BDE's rotation is displayed in the three figures.
P is the point where DE intersects with the AC "tangent".
Hope I've been clear enough. Tell...

Americans...
>>8187570
Correct me if i´m wrong but doesn´t the fact that it´s rotating means it cannot stay on the same line?
>>8187713
Agreed
Is it immoral to perform scientific experiments on rats?
>>8190539
No, because all morality is subjective.
>>8190539
Yes, but its worth it anyway

I'll kill your mom and steal all of her money. It'll be worth it.
Why are girls interested in sex in their early teens even though it's dangerous for them to get pregnant at that age?
Doesn't that suggest that there are benefits to being interested in sex at that age that outweigh (or at least would have outweighed in the ancestral environment) the risks of the occasional early pregnancy?
>>8186020
Women interested in sex at early ages means more potential children until they're infertile to reproduce.
>>8186020
We evolved to reproduce as early and often as possible because we were likely to die by 30. Also citation needed for it being dangerous to be pregnant during your early teens
kids are curious and they mimic behavior of adults. doesn't mean they are capable of consenting.

So can we apply any findings to the other gaseous planets as well?
>>8184456
To be perfectly honest, I am mainly looking forward to eerie/beautiful pictures (cassini style).
