is edx and khan academy a good way to study brush up on subjects before going to college?

Dat.
Ass.
I was gonna answer
but then all the blood rushed out of my brain to somewhere else.

Hey /sci/, since you guys seem to be the most intolerant dogmatic and completely correct assholes I've heard of about science I suppose I'll ask you before anybody else. I'm an "aspiring" sci-fi writer and my story needs a method of propulsion to get the protags to another planet that is somewhat nearby in astronomical terms (maybe 15ly max, yes I know how huge of a distance that is). While this might seem a bit basic I'm trying to go for a semi-hard sci on top of the fi. Sub-light etc is fine as long as it's something that could actually have a decent chance of working.
A few other things:
- In this universe humanity managed to finally try to make a warp bubble drive and it "worked" but ended up half-cooking the small unmanned probe inside of it with radiation and the exit blast (which was to be at Ceres) ended up screwing up the orbits of a bunch of objects in the asteroid belt. This really shitty scenario for earth's continued not-asteroided-to-death status is the motivating factor for the space mission.
- Cryogenics/Suspended animation is a thing. It's not exactly the same thing as stopping aging entirely but let's just say it's enough for any sublight space mission to nearby stars.
- The ship can make a magnetic field to protect itself from charged particles and other associated space hazards.
- Fusion power is also a thing, enabling large amounts of stable power to be generated in space.
- There's a space elevator, so getting big shit into space isn't as much of a problem.
Feel free to call me a moron but I really think you guys are probably my best bet to get something non-stupid.
A nuclear salt water rocket.
Either that, or read the High Frontier by Dr. Gerard O'Neill and go nuts.

Can anyone explain Lie groups and why they are important to the standard model?

Quantum physics is a lie invented in the 1920's by a group of physicists. This group is called the "Lie Group".
>why they are important to the standard model
Except maybe the math of statistical physics, Lie groups are important everywhere in physics. I used to say mechanics and field(classical and quantum) theory is applied representation theory of a view Lie groups

So the World Health Organization has come out and said glyphosate probably causes cancer.
Glyphosate producers tell us that it doesn't affect humans because we don't have the shikimate pathway. Hur dur, our gut bacteria do however.
The Journal of Hematology & Thromboembolic Diseases recently published a paper linking Bt-toxin related GMOs to anemia and leukemia.
"According to Greenmedinfo, the new study shows thatBt toxincan target mammalian cells in particular red blood cells lineage resulting in significant damage and abnormality in...

Monsanto shills, put that donut down and get in here! You have work to do! They don't pay you for nothing!

did you really had to make a thread about it ?
