Can you guys simply explain what "Common Core" is and why a lot of people are against that?

Cause it's the next evolution of deathcore, which is the more awful successor of metalcore. They each become more awful than their predecessors

If we're talking about music, it depends what you are calling deathcore. Bands like Emmure and I Declare War is shit, but bands like All Shall Perish and Whitechapel are really worth listening to. But still, what the fuck "Common Core" is?

Time is not an actual object-every time we use 'time' to describe something, it is reducible to some physical phenomenon.

"The solution was heated for one hour"
"The solution was heated until the Earth completed 1/24 of a rotation about its axis"

Are equivalent statements.

The concepts of past, present, and simultaneous can be defined in terms of causality.

Why are men the most unhappy of the genders?

Suicide rates are mostly men. Depression rates are mostly men. Loneliness rates are mostly men. It just goes on and on.

I don't think I've seen women face as much suffering as men do. Not even close. And they say girls have it hard.

Analytical philosophy?
Yes.
Basically what remains of philosophy as a field is just article writing and political idealism.

I'd say mathematics killed the most of philosophy with it's contributions to logic.

My philosopher father keeps trying to convince me that science will never come close to addressing any of the hard questions. But I maintain that it is dangerously close to addressing some of the ones the answers to which will be of most use to us. There's no sense in turning around now.

I know this probably gets posted a lot, but why does the 2/3 probability get shifted onto the one door, instead of becoming a 50/50 probability?
80 replies and 5 images submitted. Click here to view.
>>
Because your original guess had a 1/3 chance of being correct.
>>
>>6658253

but the fact there's 3 doors initially is a non-factor, because one of the empty ones gets removed.

the goat is still either in your door or the other door whether you switch or not, which is 50/50
>>
Two out of three doors get chosen. Why wouldn't the probability be 2/3?

Your focus shouldn't be on the door you initially choose; it's a red herring.

So, we get UFO recordings since forever. But why would an advanced race spent so much time on Earth? If they can travel to our planet, they have most likely already figured everything about us and our planet out.

Why can't neuroscientists make the perfect drug? You feel bliss, no negative side effects, no dopamine downregulation or anything of the sort.

You take one pill it lasts for 30 minutes maybe. When the time has passed you can go on with your day or take another pill and go for another just as good 30 minutes.

Fusion power
>>
Space elevator.

We have the engineering capabilities, and materials science to pull it off currently. We just don't have the mass production capabilities or quality control for the materials nor the massive amount of infrastructure and and capital needed to actually do it.

Fusion power is an endless pipe dream and R&D money pit that likely will never come to fruition in a meaningful or reliable positive output way. We don't have the technical knowledge nor the materials science necessary.

>We don't have the technical knowledge nor the materials science necessary.

I doubt materials of sufficient durability for reliable output are even possible with fusion power.

I'd like to remind you that you are on the scientific board, so please refer to scientific measurements.

To answer your question, the error lies most probably here

it most probably isn't ice cream (and most probably it is unhealthier than ordinary ice cream).

Please carry your murrican issues somewhere else next time. Thanks.

How exactly can we make a Light Shield/ Plasma Window in real life?

Constant nuclear fusion...
Fire is a form of plasma, so if you cover something in say rubbing alcohol and light it on fire, you have created a plasma shield. But this form of plasma won't do shit for stopping things, what you want is plasma at a few million or billion degrees, that way it will destroy damn near anything that is launched at it.
I don't know much about plasma physics though
>>
>>6667361
Density is just as important as temperature.
>>
How will you prevent the surface covered in plasma from being destroyed itself though?
I say its impossible due to insanely high temperatures of the "shield"
