How true is this?
http://www.theplaidzebra.com/science-finally-supports-that-we-are-all-born-as-blank-slates-and-gender-is-merely-a-construct/
this shit is philosophical as fuck
I can point a gun as you and make you bark like a dog too
at the end of the fucking day, reality is the only thing that matters, people who write about these articles and retard 19 year olds complaining about gender will be, in the very end, just that. A group of people who nobody really cares about and who's echo chambers run wild as long as no opposition stands in the way
and since the case is so trivial, who the fuck cares

You can see from the title that it's bullshit. Why did you even make this thread?
>>7684531
If it's bullshit then you should easily be able to disprove it with citations
Tensor, second order tensor? Wth is this all about?
>>7684487
Why do you need to know? Why is it of interest to you?

An array of numbers, pal. Like 1, (1,2,0,1), or
|1, 2, 3|
|2, 0, 1|
|1, 1, 1|
What's the scientific explanation for these numbers?
>>7684424
Physics, Astronomy, Philosophy, and Math all require abstract reasoning.
>>7684448
Does physics really require abstract reasoning?
>>7684486
Yes, it relies entirely on math.
Why don't we just throw all our nuclear waste into the sun?

If you were to start a space company, what would it be based on? I have a dream of sending spacecraft out to explore space. However, I need a way to fund that exploration. What are some profitable ideas? I was thinking something satellite based, maybe sending them out to space? Then eventually get into space mining once there is a widespread need for raw material in space. Or maybe get a piece of the sounding rocket business.

Slow board?

Bumping with booty.

Space mining.
It would help justify wanting planetary bases on the moon or mars to help facilitate the process.
Can coconut water be used as iv fluid for animals? for example: dogs or cows. I heard research was done for humans but I haven't read anything for animals.

>I heard research was done for humans
Really? What were the results? I've never seen something like this.

I can't imagine how that study could be done without ethical concerns.

Thanks guys, thanks for the SHIT advice.
Gladly, helium tank is already in the mailbox.

I don't get this board.
>Suggest people become engineers for the salary despite there not being a high demand for engineers
>Shit on CS majors despite there being a high demand and pay for codemonkeys
I'm sorry they did this to you OP.
>>7684087
Just imagine how many of the visitors to this board were pressured by these autists to major in the SM parts of STEM.
All those math/physical science/life science grads who thought their degree was worth something because "I STEM therefor I smart.", only to realize that workforce almost puts them in the same category as a liberal arts grad.
lol

if you kill yourself, who will pay it?
How much sense does a wedge-shaped space battleship make in real life? Lore-wise, the idea was to focus as much firepower possible forward while having a minimal profile.
A "space battleship" is itself a totally ridiculous concept in real life.
>>7684035
Yeah, but let's just assume you could actually build one and space combat wouldn't be a boring affair of shooting at targets millions of kilometers out. What would be the optimum shape?
Capital ships are pointless at the moment
Sure, maybe they would be helpful if we had interstellar travel
Educate me /Sci/. I'm working on a science fiction story, one planet concept I had was an earth like world, covered in fresh water oceans with very little salt water. It has an earth like atmosphere, and is about 3 times earths size. It harbours intelligent life, a species older than humanity in fact,
So how feasible is this? Should I make any changes?
>>7684002
>fresh water oceans
hard to imagine how
>>7684002
The oceans are salty cause of dissolved minerals from the earth. If this planet is mostly freshwater it needs to have vastly different composition in its crust.
>>7684010
It's why I'm asking. In my head it's a cool concept, but I'm not sure how feasible it is.
How the hell does the Banach-Tarski paradox work? I've read about it, but I just don't grok it.

popsci fag detected
>>7683959
No, I actually *read* about it. Couple different explanations, too. Perhaps I just don't have the necessary math background?
>>7683954
Exactly what part of the proof you don't understand?
Overall, it works thanks to the axiom of proof and non-measurable sets, without any of them it wouldn't be possible.
If there's a particular part of the proof that you don't get, post it and I may be able to explain it further.
It is ironic that the more maths a person does the neater the handwriting, with medfags having atrocious writings.
ITT: Name your major + post PIC of your handwriting.
Pure mathematics master race.
PIC related.
Moar.

What's wrong with pop science?
Nothing with the thing itself, it's only that the people who like it defend it too much
Nothing. /sci/ is just full of edgy pretentious elitist.

Is nanoscience a part of chemistry, biology, or physics?
>>7683869
none of those
Psssst hey kid, you wanna make nanomachines and shit? Then do chemistry kid.
Also, fuck you biology. Synthetic chemistry will soon exceed biology in what's possible. Fuck you proteins, you're too hard to engineer. Fuck you DNA nanotech, you're too weak.
>>7683956
that gave me an erection. we nano-sewing machines now?
OFFICIAL THREAD #1, HUMAN GENE EDITING SUMMIT
December 1-3, 2015
Washington, D.C.
major component of the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Medicine's Human Gene-Editing Initiative is an international summit to take place December 1-3 in Washington, D.C. Co-hosted with the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the U.K.'s Royal Society, the summit will convene experts from around the world to discuss the scientific, ethical, and governance issues associated with human gene-editing research.

Poe's law strikes again.
some real news/info on it
In May, the U.S. Academies launched a major initiative to inform decision making related to new gene-editing technologies that could lead to promising, novel ways to treat disease but that also have given rise to concerns, particularly about their potential use to modify the human germline. In addition to the summit, the initiative will include a comprehensive study of human gene editing by a separate committee, which will issue a report next year with recommendations to guide the responsible use of such research.

Why do attractive women despise STEM?
>>7683759
Because they are anti-intellectual animals who only want to waste away their worthless lives with shallow entertainment and sex.
>>7683759
Bettering yourself in STEM requires time and effort. For a lot of attractive women they have lived their lives with men giving them what they want for being attractive. So why do something that requires effort when you can just take handouts?
>>7683759
Part of it is social stigma. A lot of people seem to think the only way to be good in a STEM field is to be an introvert or a creep, so they avoid it because, "Ew, why would you want to be around THOSE people?"
