Any one have experience using smelling salts in order to stay awake? I find I'm too tired and can not afford to sleep now-a-days, would these help me stay awake; at least long enough to get my work done?
Are there adverse effects to prolonged use of smelling salts?

Well then you're going to die quite soon. Humans need sleep. There is no chemical substitute. And if you are sleep deprived than your "work" will suffer more than if you had worked less and slept more.
Is data science a meme degree?
Just double major in cs and stats.

Also, that term is so broad these days... It's just a buzzword, really. It used to be that they were called statisticians.
Is it possible to catch a bolt of lightning or to physically manipulate electricity through a certain means?

/sci/ this probably isn't the place for homework but I'm not asking for help, I just want to know if this is bullshit or not.
I've redone this problem countless times and always land between 1.2 and 1.4 ohms for resistor 2 and it's wrong every time. Am I wrong or is the website wrong?
>>7671250
baka desu, you aren't solving for ohm it's given
Which equation are you using for power? The most intuitive one is I^2*R, since V for the power equation means voltage across the individual resistor.

OP didn't read the question and anon didn't read the OP. /sci/ is literally the retards leading the blind. Fuck this place.
Alright, /sci/. I'll come clean with you.
I did badly in school. I don't know the reasons that caused it, but I know a lot of reasons that contributed. Most likely cause, though, was I was an idiot who thought I was better than everyone else just because I was in gifted programs and reading way beyond my level.
But in high school, it all fell apart, and my GPA plummeted. Whether I blame the teachers or American education or shoulder the entire blame myself, I know the only person it falls to in order to fix it is me. So, I'm sorry. I swear I'm...

You made alot of threads about this today.
You think math will help you find a job that pays well. You think that going to college for it will land you a job automatically. In reality no. You'll never make it without a deep interest in math.
Take up a job and if you like math, study using the internet. What will separate you from the rest is ideas of applications. Like the inventor of a TV sale item. He needed to just make measurements using math for his prototype and then put it to use.

First thread, actually, but it does seem to be going around a lot.
I don't know exactly what job I want to do. Payment's not so much a concern for me - it's just that everything I'm passionate about requires a lot of math to really get good with. Robotics and space travel, mostly.

Er, thanks. I'll take a look.
Retard here. Can time exist without at least two physical things, at least one of which being in motion? Is it possible to tell time if there is no motion?
Time Is Just An Illusion
>>7671038
That's what I've been thinking about. Is time just our way of telling one thing's position in relation to something else, and not something that actually exists on its own?
>>7666334
Yes. Humans can only perceive time linearly, which is where your notion is coming from.

It's probably a known one but I've worked out this limit for pi considering a infinite sided regular n-gon is a circle.
My question is is there actually a way to evaluate this infinity x 0 limit?
>>7670927
I believe your limit is incorrect.
cos is between 0 and 1, so the (1- cos) factor must be either 0 or positive. If it is 0, the limit shows that pi = 0, an obvious falsehood. If (1 - cos) is positive, the limit shows that pi = infinity * (positive) = infinity, which is also obviously wrong.
>>7670932
I assume you have never taken a calculus course
lim of 0 * infinity can be finite
>>7670932
there is an n as a factor of (1-cos)
OP:
your x is wrong, you have x=2sin(alpha) or x=sqrt(2-2cos^2(alpha)).
Secondly, you need to show that the perimeter of the polygon converges towards the perimeter of a circle, which is not obvious, and in fact wrong (see fractals for example)
You can, however, use the same idea with surfaces (you can easily show convergence with the squeeze theorem).
What's a Banach Space? How do I begin understanding Banach Spaces?
>>7670953
Yeah that was my old thread but not a single serious response only le memeshit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n12bfWTw9Hk
A Banach space is a normed vector space V (ask if you don't know what it is) that is complete (ie. such that every Cauchy sequence in V is convergent).
Banach spaces are interesting because we have a number of very powerful results allowing us to prove the continuity of linear maps without much effort (Banach-Steinhaus, open mapping theorem, Hahn-Banach)

This has been the single biggest thing inhibiting me learning about much of anything.
It doesn't matter how it's explained. It doesn't matter what I read. There's just something that doesn't quite click, because I feel like something important is missing. I've developed a very bad habit of obsessing over what makes the most base layers of the universe tick, and losing sight of how easy it is to figure out how something behaves on a higher level if you just look at it.

Can someone explain this logic to me?
1)
Me: I have a bacterial infection. I'm a tad worried about using antibiotics as I've had gastrointestinal issues in the past and I don't want to kill off beneficial gut bacteria.
Doctor: That seems reasonable. Let's consider your options.
2)
Me: I have a cold and I need cold medicine. I'm not really in pain (and my family has a history of liver problems) so I would prefer a formula that doesn't contain acetominphen (the leading cause of liver failure in the Western word).

It isn't pharmacies driving this (they don't make much money on vaccines), but rather governments are pushing this. There are well known side effects on vaccines, but the government has decided to accept those consequences for the benefit those vacancies bring to society. The other stuff is ok for you to object as you will only harm yourself. The other stuff will harm others and create bigger problems.
Well if you have read studies than you should know which adjuvants are harmful and which are not. 'some' is not an answer.
since what you are getting from a doctor are not 'some' adjuvants. maybe he knows whats in the little flasks, maybe he doesnt. many just do their job.
because for the 'some' adjuvants that do help protect from a distructive sickness it is worth risking autoimmune disorders imho.
I can however not name the degree of severity in which the prevented sickness has to surpass an autoimmune disorder, for my claim...

Are there any known substances that remove or suppress emotions, specifically empathy?

Amphetamines perhaps.
Your looking for something which silences the amygdala. Cocaine seems to do it for me and most stims do it somewhat, FAAH inhibitors were tested on mice, but are pretty gay for people. Androgens also work in mysterious ways and make some people more psychopathic.

Can someone explain why gamma radiation is ionizing but neutron radiation is not (or is called indirectly ionizing)?
Various books and sources explain that the particle hitting the atom must bear charge in order to ionize it.
Yet gamma rays don't bear charge.
Then I read this
>Even though they bear no charge, gamma rays are able to produce ionization as they pass through matter. (http://www.chem.wisc.edu/deptfiles/genchem/sstutorial/Text4/Tx45/tx45.html)
But Wikipedia states that sometimes neutrons are more penetrating than gamma...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
I'm going to guess that neutrons with high energy arent going fast enough to effect the energy of electrons, but because they are so much heavier they penetrate and still can have more energy than electrons
It needs one charge or another to take part in the atom dance otherwise it just drops 420 blaze it
>>7670533
More penetrating = less ionising bruh
Because λ=h/p, and neutrons are so massive, p is large and λ is small. Less chance for collision. This doesnt feel very legit someone correct if I'm wrong.
>>7670541
What the shit are you even talking about. If they have high energy they're fast u dipshit thats like the meaning of being fast
