Do you guys think daily meditation can effect risky sexual/drug abuse behavior? I'm interested in what people have to say.
psychology dept of my college requires survey responses for student research, please help!
>>7651517
>What is your gender
>Male
>Female
>Non-binary
Trashed the survey, reformatted my hard drive, called the police, moot and my mother.
I'm not sure if the people that meditate daily are really at risk for drug abuse dude
I do think so. Proper meditation should bring you into a higher state of consciousness, a state of higher alertness. You then no longer try to mentally label things or situations, and sometimes you might feel that things change.
what would happen if Uranus was as close to earth as the moon?
I'd be dead in space
The orbital resonance of Uranus vs Earth is far far far greater than Moon vs Earth.
The weather would be beyond chaotic and all of us would be fucked.

Do you think binary is "Base 1"?
Hey, /sci/, looking for physics help. I'm not understanding this problem, not looking for homework help per se, just comprehension.
So on a rollercoaster, at the top of a loop (pic related), what is the direction of the centripetal force?
My understanding was that it was always toward the center of rotation. A friend explained that in this case, gravity and normal force (from the tracks pushing back on the car) keep the car in rotation and the centripetal force is negative keeping the riders in the car.
Is this accurate?
What I'm not understanding is the direction and role of centripetal force in this case. And what force is pushing upward (keeping the riders from falling out).
Your friend is wrong and probably gay. Centripetal force is always radial and directed to the center. What is keeping the cart moving is the inertia of the tangential velocity at every point.
The plot thickens.
https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071125162300AAk4fw9
This is my exact problem with the correct answer and in the solution centripetal force is explained to be upward.
How does that make sense?

>"I'm interested in a hack to keep the porn but have a better sex life. "
I'm in need of a life hack:
Here's my story:
I'm a porn addict, fapping and training fapping since 12. I can fap and ejaculate 50-90 times in a 24 hour window and have done, but average at 5x a day.
This is great and with my work/life (Cognitive Neuroscientist) I'm maxed out cumming in my free time...but here is where I need the hack.
Usually I don't care about women, but i've recently been dating...

>I can ejaculate 90 times a day
90/24 = 5.625 ejaculations per hour, assuming 8 hrs of sleep
lolwut? not even don jon fapped that much

Well. The initial thought is consumption of dopamine precursors (L-DOPA, perhaps via mucuna pruriens). Normally after orgasm prolactin levels rise and drive it down. Prolactin is involved in a sensation of sexual satisfaction, elevated levels reduce libido, and problematically, levels that are too low have been shown to result in a reduction of sex drive, So the only viable way to approach it from that angle is some way to only modulate hormonal and neurotransmitter regulatory factors, something that is unknown to...

How do you have the time to jerk off 5x a day? All after work? Imagine how productive you could be if you didn't waste your time like that.
College professor just said the following:
"If you are looking at a charge in a magnetic field, and then you make you coordinate system move at the same speed of the charge, then there is no longer a magnetic field. This is needed when studying relativity to eliminate magnetic fields from your calculations. You can also use it in E&M to make your calculations easier."
Is this true? You can't just ignore a significant component of reality can you? She is kinda retarded and like mumbles a lot so maybe she is wrong.
Pic not related, heat treatment.
It is correct. You aren't ignoring reality - the E field and B field transform into each other.
That's why real scientists use shit like tensors and differential forms.
It's just the principle of relativity.
Look at it this way: a magnetic field is set up between two charged particles if they are moving relative to each other. If you make your coordinate system move with a certain particle, then the magnetic field is zero with respect to any other particle that is also fixed with respect to the coordinate system. In other words, the two particles are not moving relative to each other, so the magnetic field between them should be zero. That makes perfect sense.
It makes calculations easier because now you can eliminate all...

Yeah I understand that. But from a practical standpoint I can't design my wire system to run through a magnetic field and say, "oh if I just make my coordinate system move then I don't have to account for the magnetic field in this design."
Are there any unknown planets in our solar s system we don't know of exist?
>>7650666
Yes. The sun is actually an elaborate construction of a mirror like material. A number of planets orbit on the inside.

Now you know them.
let's talk pot
before i begin, i'm neutral. I support legalization because I don't think the government should be someone's nanny, but I don't smoke it and think "blazeitfags" are fags.
what are the dangers of pot? I don't believe what the potfags say that it's totally harmless, but I also don't believe the government-funded researchers who say it's bad either.
set me straight, /sci/
Speaking from personal experience, I use to smoke habitually and became borderline schizophanic at the time. I was never a part of the culture, I just happened to be around people who smoked a lot.
Granted, I was taking frequently vyvanse and getting high at the same time (which I'm certain is an awful, awful combination), I found myself becoming increasingly paranoid and losing touch with reality. At one point in time, I was half convinced I was a messiah at some point along with a tulpa. I was in a weird place...

Most things are both good and bad. Some of that can be reduced to relatively objective measures, such as compromised core functionality. Some depends on the individual's psychology or physiology. The rest is up to opinion and personal desire.
Weed is more or less the latter two. I don't like it because it separates me from the stream of my thoughts and is apt to push me into memories I don't want, then ditch me there. It also makes me burnt, stupid, and extremely afterwords. Fuck all that.

the dangers of pot, from more harmful to least harmful:
-smoke, its fucking bad for your health. I mean seriously bad
-it can become a bad habit, which reinforces other bad habits. you become lazier, less motivated, your short term memory becomes slightly worse. all this is reversible though (given that you are over 20 yrs old and not fucking up your teenage developing brain) and varies from person to person.
-can trigger psychotic episodes-paranoid behaviour. I put this last, because it happens to a very small percentage of users, and usually they freak...

hypothetically speaking, if i had some pre-cum/cum on my fingers and then fingered a girl, what would be the chances of preggo'ing her?
in general, how does female impregnation work?
100% this is how artificial insemination happens
you literally jammed sperm cells into her womb, so pretty high
how do you think it works?

A Top Scientist based in Japan has discovered evidence suggesting the initial runs of the LHC created a blackhole in which we are caught within its horizon where time moves infinite.
Scientist are back and forth with theories, some pointing out that there is no need to panic since we will all get to live out our lives and an infinite number of generations so long as we dont destroy the earth ourselves within that time.
Others are criticising the scientists at cern for completely ruining the chances for space travel out of our immediate solar system.
So the...

Well surely a groundbreaking discovery such as this would be published in a high-ranking peer reviewed journal. Care to give us a link?
What is it that causes life to occur?
What separates living things from things that are not ?
why is that animial a living thing and not that rock beside it, they are both made up of atoms and chemistry and ect, and at a molecular level, are the same?
On the smallest molecular scale, at what point do living and not living matter differ?

What proof one can have about world's real age?

Nazis were created in 1930s so... 85 years aprox.

every year we slice it in half and count its rings
One thing is for certain. 999 Trillion years is coming
>hurr durr universe is a few billions of years old
>not taking in account of the infinate times the universe has 'big banged'
Time is infinate, past is infinate, future is infinate. We are probably 999 trillion * 999 trillion years old now. Even More. There is no number big enough to actually state the age of all of this. YOu are all just tiny little subjects of time.

Hey /sci/ I'm trying to develop a theory on what happens to things like sound waves after they "die." I haven't found any current theories on what happens to them after they're created other than they simply cease to exist. But I think something much different. I may just be talking nonsense, but does anyone know any current standing theories about what happens to sound after it "dies?"
>>7649910
They go to heaven, obviously.
>>7649910
Turns to heat. Look up phonons
>>7649910
Its a wave and it dissipates. Do you think it goes to some kind of sound afterlife? Sound heaven for good sounds and sound hell for bad ones?
