if free will doesnt exist and we are deterministic, how is psychology and sociology not real sciences? check mate /sci/
Intelligence and conciousness are really complicated phenomenon that we do not understand properly - and psychology and sociology are weak and pathetic attempts at tackling arguably one of the most fundamental questions humans have ever asked.

does this mean that as knowledge of the human body and its processes increases, so does the legitimacy og psychology?

I'm sorry. :(
If the vacuum has energy, spacetime being infinite means there is infinite energy in the universe. Does this mean the universe ends somewhere?
There's a finite amount of vacuum, I have no idea what I'm talking about btw just guessing
>>7969244
The universe doesn't end until all energy ends which means that it is inherently infinite. Matter being a product of phasic energy means that upon interaction with "absolute zero" (the closest thing to "end of the universe") would either cause matter to reformulated itself or otherwise immediately and effortlessly reconfigure "absolute zero."
>>7969244
You can't really define energy properly in general relativity,
I've got this gyroball I've had since highschool that I used as physical therapy when I broke my arm.
I use it now and again when I'm thinking, and recently, I tried using it in a train car.
Usually, I just flick the ball with my thumb and spin it with my wrist, but this time I couldn't start it!
Why couldn't I start the ball? I believe it has to do with the conservation of angular momentum, but can the physicists of /sci/ explain it?
If i was in space, could I start the ball?
Lel it's got nothing to do with angular momentum. These things wear out very easily. You need to open it and oil the small rod that holds the ball inside.
>>7969189
I can start the ball now though. I just couldnt start it in a moving train car.
you are autistic and couldnt do it with other people watching?
unless the train was riding curves faster than a rollercoaster it wouldnt matter
Hello, I have a question. I decided to come here because /wsr/ seems like they fuck around too much. so my work place has been screwing me out of money by not paying me. I calculated how many hours of work they owe me. The only problem is their paycheck system converts minutes into decimal percentages. For example: 18 hours and 30 min would look like 18.50 on my paystub. With that being said, I worked 18:35. What would 35 minutes be out of .100 if .100= 1 hour?
>>7969101
>What would 35 minutes be out of .100 if .100= 1 hour?
That's not how it works, dumbass. You just described 18.50 being 18 hours and 30 minutes so clearly 1.00 = 1 hour
And fuck off with your kindergarten math.
I am a dumbass, which is why I came here for help with my simple problem. Wouldn't 18:35 equal to something around 18.58?
>>7969101
50/30
then
take that answer and multiply it by 35
so you get 18.583repeating
What does the logic gate for the bottom left part of a number look like (0-9)? I'm trying to teach myself this.

>>7969040
What do you mean what does the logic gate look like? Have you any idea how things like clocks or stopwatches are implemented in digital circuits?
Look up binary coded decimal and 7-segment displays. Basically there will be a digital circuit that keeps track of the time in a four-digit binary coded decimal and then each one of those digits will be sent to a 7-segment display multiplexer.
Keep in mind that the gate configuration in pic related isn't nearly the entire thing nor is it the only way to do it.
>>7969050
how does the circuit know when one second has passed ?
>>7969050
>nor is it the only way to do it.
It looks silly, 8 inputs to control 11 digits
Are there any orthopedic doctors that frequent here? Specifically spine specialists?
Friend of mine has a rareish case of double scoliosis where the back curves like an s but it also twists near the bottom and shoves her ribs into all of her internal organs. So far she can't get a straight answer out of any doctors/ specialists as to what she needs or she hears conflicting stories as to what would be best. This may not be the place for this but at the very least it's a pretty interesting science topic on spines/vertebrae manipulation.
I would think a harrington rod procedure would be best but there are some new spinal fusions procedures coming out that I'm not very knowledgeable about
>>7968988
She's probably having a hard time getting a straight answer because none of the doctors or specialists know for sure and don't want to give her advice that could be damaging in the long run.
I feel really bad for people with spinal injuries, I literally could not even imagine. I wish your friend the best of luck.
>>7969042
Yeah i guess, but its frustrating that its supposedly their specialty but shes getting a different answer from each one or just no answer at all, and shes constantly in pain which sucks thank you for your wishes though

>On its next trip to the International Space Station (ISS), SpaceX will be carrying an inflatable space habitat built by Bigelow Aerospace. The Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM) will be folded up for its April 8th launch, and then fully inflated once it’s properly connected to one of the station’s nodes, essentially creating a new room on the ISS.

Just a quick board-culture related question, as I am new here.
Whats the most advisable course of action to take when you encounter one of the low-effort shitposts that litter this board?
More specifically the ones that are like:
>"only brainlets have to read textbooks"
>"anyone who doesnt study at All Souls College oxford is a failure, I know because I'm the best in the whole student body there"
>"when I was a kid I was put 10 years ahead...

>What am I supposed to do when I see these?
Not be a whiny bitch, ignore it, and move on with your day.
Perhaps feel a small granule of sympathy for the sad souls who, after nearly two decades of praise from teachers and peers, find themselves in an odd predicament searching for validation on a Korean octopus wrangling forum; their hearts broken and their lives shallow.

>people are being elitist on 4chan!!! WAHH!!
Just fuck off retard. What exactly do you even want to hear? Go back to facebook or whatever normie website that actually gives a shit about your whining. And your supposed home board, which you don't even know the proper name of, is filled with low quality posts. Every board here is that has a turnover rate faster than 10 days
Is it normal for SSRI's, more specifically escitalopram, to induce open eye visuals in the dark? Visual effects are almost on par with those of sedative/hypnotics like benzodiazepines. Any explanation as to how this could occur?
I take escitalopram and have never experienced this or heard of this. As far as I know, SSRI's just inhibit reuptake of seratonin, which has nothing to do with sight.
>>7969245
LSD and psilocybin produce visuals and also interact with serotonin, perhaps OP's neural pathways are configured in a manner which triggers the effects mentioned.
>>7969254
>Anxiety, restlessness, fever, sweating, muscle spasms, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, /seeing/ or hearing things that are not there
Again as potent psychoactive drugs produce visuals primarily through interaction with serotonin, they can also cause a condition known as HPPD which causes a long term but incredibly mild hallucinogenic state in the effected, open eye visuals being one of the effects of HPPD and obviously escitalopram. I had HPPD and during the time I experienced it I...

Is the universe rotating? Cosmologists be all like the universe is isotropic. This is dogma! So it can't be rotating. But every large scale structure in the universe rotates (planets, stars, solar systems, galaxies). So why am I supposed to believe that universe is not rotating? Could you design an experiment to measure the rotation of the universe?
in b4 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del_metric
>>7968517
maybe dark energy is just centrifugal force at the universal scale.
>>7968517
In principle the universe could rotate about its centre of mass, but its expanding too fast for that

Why would you get your kid injected with autism when you can simply pay a small fee to download a cure? Some people are just ignorant. Treat disease with data not drugs!
My favourite download has got to be Tiger Tail™. Just listen to the testimonial to see how good it really is.

Previous thread is well past bump limit.
No Pre-Calculus or Calculus I-III questions allowed. Anything else is fair game.
What is the sum of angles of a triangle that rests on a surface of nonuniform curviture?
Asked this in another thread for fun but actually want to know now.

How the fuck did reimann see that symmetry in the zeta function from 0 to 1?
why do some scientists calls themselves materialists, when we don't know what matter fundamentally is? And the deeper we go the spookier and less "material" it is
seems like Berkley was right all along ;_;
>>7968096
At the quantum level it's all just consciousness and information.
They're empiricists, not materialists. The math is so tantalizing and perfect it leads everyone down the abyss, because you're right, we can't even say for sure what math itself is. And no one seems to acknowledge that.

but isn't that terrible? would be much simpler if subjectivity didn't factor into it
Hey /sci/ what is the most difficult maths test/exam?
>>7968094
The one where you never learned the material.
>>7968095
Every exam?
>>7968095
i mean generally difficult and abstract questions to a test where you have learned the material.
So i just took this test, image related my score.
Question is what do some of these questions have anything to do with disorders?
I would be interested in a career where I played a musical instrument.
I would be interested in an artistic career.
I would be interested in studying the structure of the human body.
I would be interested in doing research on plants or animals.
I would be interested in studying in a scientific field.
I would be interested in working in a scientific lab.
Pretty much all of the above I put accurate or very accurate...

That other online test you took probably said you have an IQ of 140, and yet you're too stupid to talk to a therapist about your problems.
Why don't you just answer the questions i asked instead of being a condescending asshole
