What is your opinion of 'immortality'?
Do you think it will be possible in the future to make specifically a human immortal?
Do you think it's possible that any organism in the future could be made immortal?
can you get the fuck out already you old prostate cancer faggot guy.

I don't understand your point.

Yes.

>he didn't learn how to solve a rubik cube without a guide
I don't see any particular benefit to learning to solve a rubix cube.
As for the girl, I'd fart in her mouth.
>>7978038
Maybe it helps you to amaze your stupid employer, while waiting for something.
>>7977964
ah yes, solving the cube by memorizing the patterns given, but unable to solve a randomized one, impressive... not really
Does the KVL equation in the image shown make sense?
dunno
result looks good
>>7977796
how do results look good?
the only way the results look good to me is if the voltage across the 8 ohm resister was 304.

i(t)=i0*e^-(t*R/L)

Is basically the complete simulation of the universe down to subatomic particles. Right now, individual proton masses can be determined with an error margin of only 1%.
In a 1-200 years, this area of simulation, will likely be the size of a room. Imagine having a complete physical simulation of the universe, the computing power required would likely be that of 10 billion human brains (computer processing power will be a million human brains by 2050).
But it is very much doable. These simulations are real, with atoms and all, controlled and possible to fast forwarded...

No... In 145 to 150 years that MIGHT be possible. It certainly won't be possible next year.
>>7977620
>the computing power required would likely be that of 10 billion human brains
Then why can a single human brain compute sensory information for an entire room? In real time, no less?

I don't think you understand quantum mechanics.

What? QCD is just the theory of the strong interaction (or color force of you prefer), moreover lattice QCD is just a particular non-perturbative approach to low energy QCD. There's a lot more to the universe than the strong interaction. Whatever pop-sci site you're reading, stop, it's straight up terrible.
While reading about Max Planck discovery of the quantum nature of light and the limitation of classical physics, I stumbled upon this site and this sentence which confused me greatly.
http://physics.weber.edu/carroll/honors/failures.htm
>Classical physics said that each frequency of vibration should have the same energy.
This isn't the case, right? Didn't Rayleigh-Janes, using classical EM, predicted that energy increases as frequency increases?
>>7977596
Did you even read the sentences after it?
>>7977602
Yes, the next sentence pretty much refers to Rayleigh-Jeans law but I failed to see how that relates to the previous sentence at all? Am I misunderstanding something here?
The sentence I'm confused at seems to imply that low frequency = high frequency in terms of energy.
>Classical physics said that each frequency of vibration should have the same energy.
Why no metric time?
Is it possible?
>>7977579
You could, but time is already conveniently mapped to natural phenomena that everyone uses, so why bother?
>>7977579
milliseconds
Seconds are the SI unit for time. Minutes and hours are not.

How to find the complex eigenvectors of the rotation matrix
$\begin{bmatrix}
cos \theta &\sin \theta & 0\\
- \sin \theta & cos \theta & 0\\
0&0&1
\end{bmatrix}
I already have the eigenvalues
1, $cos \theta + i \sin \theta$, $cos \theta - i \sin \theta$
and I found in a book that the eigenvectors for each eigenvalue are
$v_1 = \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\0 \\1 \end{bmatrix}$, $v_2 = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \\\frac{i}{\sqrt{2}} \\0 \end{bmatrix}$, $v_3 = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \\\frac{-i}{\sqrt{2}}...

Do it for. 2x2 matrix and then generalize.

There's only one web. Unless...
Are you a time traveler with access to multiple "webs"/global information networks?
Can anyone explain this?

Phi(c)/phi = p(c)/p

So I've quit smoking for almost 3 years and life has sucked. I need a new fix.
Are there any safer alternatives to smoking but still give you a boost? I don't want to smoke cigarettes because they are unhealthy, and I don't want to vape because it's gay.
Is there something I can do a few times a day? Not chewing gum or some stupid crap like that.
Thanks.

>>7977469
vicodin is illegal and it's not an easy addiction to manage like smoking

Big pharma and the chemical lobotomy is cool?
Just go back to cancer sticks. I do both now. It's hard to beat a coffee and a smoke.
why is it that you can take 10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10 points from the set [0, 1]x[0, 1] and its area would still be 1, but you can only take a finite amount of anything we know (atoms, quarks) from something before you end up with nothing? how bad of a model of reality euclidean spaces are?
>>7977448
Because math and reality are only tangentially related
>>7977448
Because matter is quantized.
You can inly use macroscopic methods when you pass a certain threshold.
>>7977448
>How bad of a model of reality euclidean spaces are?
Well for one, gravity means our spacetime is not euclidean. As far as things like elementary particles go, they are not directly related to geometry.
I mean classically, gauge theories our extremely geometrical.For instance the four-vector potential (as a differential form) is a pullback of the connection form on a principal bundle.
i.e. Let M be spacetime, take the bundle [math] P\mathop \to \limits^\pi M[/math] with...

Hey /sci/
I dropped out of high school at 16, been a NEET for 5 years now
I wanna get back on track with my education but I don't really know where to start
I'm really interested in a STEM career, but I was always more of a biologyfag than a hard sciences guy
Can you guys help me out?
>>7977413
Biology is a hard science but don't waste time doing that become an engineer it's a FAR superior degree
Go back to being NEET. College sucks.
>>7977413
Biology is a hard science you twat
If either stars swaped places with the Alpha Centauri system, after 4 years of course, how bright would they be in our night sky and could they even at 4 light years away contribute any kind of heat to our solar system?
