What?
The speed of light is privileged above other speeds, therefore discriminates against the majority.
Democracy got owned by mathematics:

Why would anyone support this shitty system which goes against basic logic and mathematics?
Tradition is a incredibly powerful thing.
>>7705698
It's really only relevant to democratically planned economics. What do you think it means for a presidential election to be pareto optimal?
>Voting systems that use cardinal utility (which conveys more information than rank orders; see the subsection discussing the cardinal utility approach to overcoming the negative conclusion) are not covered by the theorem.
Good day /sci/!
I need your help. I was really sick for the past 2 weeks and had to miss most of my classes. My math professor (precalc) did a quiz and let me to it at home since I couldn't attend. I wasn't in class while they covered this material, and forgot it since a while back in highschool. Can anyone please solve this one and if possible explain briefly how they did, so I can use this as an example? Thanks anons
Underage & b8. Gtfo homework faggot

I'm 21, and I covered this material when I was 17

You could always try googling how to do it? This is easy stuff

Honestly why even post on 4chan? Would it literally not be easier and quicker to just Google it?
What is your favorite branch of mathematics and why?
Mine would be Real Analysis because my first courses of real analysis were the first courses I ever enjoyed.
>>7705628
What qualifies as "Real Analysis"? Sequences, set theory, etc.?
Topologyyyyy
>>7705634
I would say sequences, limits, continuity smoothness, series, integration derivatives DEq...
Basically Calculus with all the theorems to construct it properly

I can't live at peace not knowing or understanding space. I find it scary how we're 99.9% sure that life outside of our solar system exists but we are yet to come across it, or interact with it.
Space is so vast and planets/solar systems are so abundant that even in millions of years we would not be able to explore even the planets within our own galaxy.
Is there any scope whatsoever about intergalactic travel within the next millennium? Are we the most sophisticated life forms in the universe? Do other universes exist? Will we ever travel...

sorry, what part do you find funny?

Pray who? God?
I think that the extraordinary claim is that life only exists on Earth because it's magic pixie dust.
>>7705528
Show me an alien. Without evidence, aliens are no better than hobbits, ghosts or unicorns.
>>7705532
probabilities etc. no reasonable man believes aliens have been to earth, but life probably exists somewhere else in the universe etc. I took the bait and so on. Sage for shit thread an what have you.
Some people have trouble believing that there's water on Mars.
Say I have a 800m-diameter, 200.000 Tons O'Neill cylinder that I want to make rotate at about 0.4 rev per minute.
How would I do that ? I'm talking about ways that already exist nowadays
>>7705520
easy, just attach it to the thumb you currently have jammed up your ass twisting uselessly..

Given a length of exactly 3 minutes, how many different songs could possibly exist?
A lot
>>7705383
Depends on bitdepth and sample rate.
If you're talking about a more "analog" delivery / medium, not even modern physics knows the answer to that. Though you could, and likely would, take average data about human perception and human ear function, and derive an answer based on that.
It would only be an approximation.

Is there any scientific evidence that Time Travel is actually possible?
you're doing it right now
ofc possible but not yet.
>>7705380
Depends how you define time travel
is there or has there been any research projects into creating a stimulant that could activate the neuro receptors that allow the flow of adenosine so a person could forego sleeping while feeling alert?
>>7705366
There's been a pretty decent adenosine antagonist around for a while. Caffeine.
Valerian root for the inverse, although some of its constituents also active GABA-A.

From the little information I've had on the subject, the GPS was the first engineering project where relativity had to be taken into account. (I'm not taking into account scientific projects focused on the subject).
As of today, are there other projects where it is needed? For example did it matter for the SR-71 Blackbird or for modern missiles? Modern satellites? Anything else?
It helps to estimate the pre-launch adjustment of the clocks, but that's about it. No orbit is exactly circular, the field is not exactly spherical and all orbits change over time. The real operational adjustment is done periodically based on comparison with a group of ground-based clocks, not based on theory.
>>7705342
Interesting, thanks.
I thought that the internal clocks were set to operate at a slightly different rate than on Earth, not that they corrected them periodically.
Any other systems where relativity needs to be taken into account?
>>7705357
They do tick slower. From what I've read they adjust to effects from special relativity using an onboard computer; effects from general relativity due to altitude changes might require more manual adjustments.
Is psychology a meme field?
>>7705226
Yes it is fami.
Not if lab-based.

Is there a doctor in the house?
The last two times I have masturbated, I have seen blood in my ejaculate. The first time it was barely noticeable but the second time it was much more noticeably pink in hue. This has been accompanied by more frequent urination, thought there is no pain during urination. I had not had any other noticeable symptoms until just now when I started feeling lightheaded. I have not masturbated since the second time which was late last week, I think Wednesday.
Any ideas on what's going on with me? Googling around says it could be Prostatitis,...

Holy fucking shit OP. You saw blood in your semen and have not done something about it for a week? See a doctor dude.
You're dead OP.
Is it possible to print an eeg bio-sensor onto a flexible material on a budget of under $1000?
I want to make a small eeg or possibly a subvocal sensor on a transparent and flexible material. I know its kind of crazy, but I might as well ask you guys.
Also, I already have a few lasers, a spectrophotometer, uv resin, conductive ink, and a few printers.
Sort of like this.

The silver kind or the graphite kind? Both suck, but if you can get it to stick, you could make something that sucks.
