Why can't the narrow-minded spergs of /sci/ accept that asteroid mining is the future?

Earth minerals are running out, space launch costs are coming down, it's not even a possibility, it's a fucking certainty.

Keep getting into arguments about chemtrails.

Really, his is starting to piss me off. My explicitly stated standpoint is that I don't give a fuck. I have no means to test or verify, I don't know shit about jet fuel or upper atmosphere physics, and even if it were happening and I had means to be aware of this, I COULDN'T DO SHIT ABOUT IT. So what the fuck? Leave me the hell alone for fuck's sake!!

Aluminum is expensive and I don't know by what means you could disperse it in a way that does a goddamn thing to anyone. Likewise, barium poisoning...

Because it would infer that if consciousness is universally derived, then it is universally manipulating.

e.i. the universe is consciously participating in itself. Yet, that is why we have god, because... spooky ramifications.

>>7721982
Look up Immanuel Kant and categories. In short: free will, causality, laws of physics, etc are categories through which you perceive the world. You can never achieve objective knowledge of the real world, but only subjective knowledge of the world you perceive. Therefore everything you experience is real for you, and that's the farthest you can go, so if you experience your will as free, your will is free for you.

Yet, subjective knowledge is not objective knowledge by discretion of the synthesis.

I'm in grad school for math right now. I will be going for a ph.d after I get my m.s. here. it is awful, soul crushing work. you have to need a ph.d, like you cannot live knowing you aren't working towards one. because it DOES suck. the stress of keeping up with a class only to lose it all on a comprehensive final is REAL. if you arent willing to do whatever it takes, if you dont have the mindset of 'get a ph.d in math or die trying' then you should do something else.

This is an issue that has been bothering me for some time. For those who are unfamiliar, an O'neill cylinder is a space habitat in the middle of space, with an atmosphere filled interior where people live, and is rotated so that the centrifugal force approximates gravity on the inner surface. Mirrors reflect sunlight through large windows into the habitat, and day and night are simulated by adjusting the mirror's angle.

My problem is that the mirrors are also rotated with the same rpm as the cylinder itself, so it will experience a much higher G-force at the...

Why the need for the mirror anyway? If we are advanced enough to build massive structures in space I would hope that our led technology has reached a point where we can accurately simulate sunlight.
Also material science is booming right now so I'd imagine the material for said mirror isn't too far off.
>>
>>7720943
>how are you going to adjust the mirrors without the hinges holding the mirror (and presumed by everyone to be the mechanism doing the adjusting) from breaking apart due to the massive force on it?

....I think the best way to design such a mirror is to construct said mirror from an ultrastrong and ultralightweight alloy. And it would be concentric (and probably slightly concaved, albeit shallow).

Just my thoughts

nutrition and diet as some of the most specious topics in science.

I'd say there's only one solid piece of evidence for diet, a fat based one (low CHO low protein) in the case that you are suffering from Diabetes type II.

Otherwise, it appears as though ANY components of your diet (even to a significant extent) your caloric and glycemic intake don't affect your body transformation.

Exercise is amazing for the body, considering broscience driven by improving the capacity for execise maybe this cult of gains is the best way to go about changing...

Get the course schedule with which chapters are covered, get schedule of homework, then sit down, grab a cup of tea or coffee and get working. Treat your studies as if it's a full time job, you will do better if you're serious and an adult about it.

I think the number "TEN" should have its OWN numeral as I always wondered, since we're so used to counting in COMPLETE UNITS of TEN, why are there 2 numerals that represent the last number in each unit? Why have we started counting with a 1 in front of the TEN space? I think it should be like this.

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,X

and now that we are moving on from TEN it's...

11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 1X
