what science says or implies. You can scan the skies, send probes and expeditions, searching, analysing and exploring all you want. 10 years. 100 years. 1000 years will go by. Great fortunes will be made and lost. At the end of it all, It doesn't matter.
Earth is the only place where the force of life can exist in this otherwise vast and lifeless universe.

Okay I've asked some website about this and the answer wasn't enough for me.
I've got a friend who is willing to try his luck on some exams, one of which is 40 questions with 4 answers and only 1 right (.25 of getting it right and .75 of getting it wrong)
What are the odds of him getting it right ?
The only answer I had was someone who calculated the event of getting specifically 20/40
>>8064224
0.25^x where x is the number of answers he gets right by choosing completely randomly.
Can we /thread?
>>8064255
No.
My question is about the sum of every event after 20/40, 20 included.
so 21,22,23,... until 40.
You didn't answer it. Just got me the possibility of answering 20 right, the events are supposed to happen at the same time,
Once you get me that with the explanation of which rule you followed, /thread it m8
.25^20 is only the possibility of doing 20/40
>>8064224
>What are the odds of him getting it right ?
you mean at least 20/40?
21/40.
If you had proof that a god-like being existed and that an afterlife of paradise was guaranteed to everyone regardless of anything they could do, what would you do?
>in other words, i'd like to publish the proof in a philosophy journal, please e-mail me your help. [email protected]
Thanks for your help, /sci/ /s
Everyone knows there is a heaven
post it on r/atheism, r/fedoras or wherever all the Dawkins believers live and enjoy the salt.
Will science invent immortality in our lifetimes?
Its possible but unlikely.
Immortality is impossible because something will eventually get you.
We will have the ability to live for a very long period of time, though. (thousands of years, etc.)

>We will have the ability to live for a very long period of time, though. (thousands of years, etc.)
How long do you think it will take? Also, do you think we will be able to revert old age? I don't want to live thousands of years as a grandpa.
Two questions for the genetic engineers -
What is the most unethical thing you can do with CRISPR Cas9?
Is this tech as powerful as the "science" media is claiming it is?
heres food for thought
its hard to do unethical things
they take a lot of money
they take a lot of time
they take a lot of dedication
So unless there is huge monetary/military/power incentive behind a goal, it aint gonna happen
>>8064039
My question is purely theoretical. I'm just curious what this tech is capable of.
>>8064026
it is powerful, technically (and extremely simplified) you can edit genes, create diseases, destroy them
if the evolution is real, how come horses didn't evolve above needing horseshoes in the last 50 million years?
>>8064017
Because you don't understand what evolution is.
No one knows. It's a mystery why horses never adapted to cobblestones 50 million years ago. You won't hear biologists taking about it though because the cobblestone industry pays them off, because they don't want people to know cobblestones occur naturally.
>>8064017
Have thy been forced to walk on paved roads for 50 million years? Are horses 50 million years old?
If the moon is drifting away from Earth at a rate of about an inch a year, at what point will a total solar eclipse just not be possible anymore?
now
>>8063967
That is incorrect.
>>8064005
I don't think the moon is eclipsing currently
I mean in a lot of his appearances on TV he or his mom come up with a lot of meme-cringe type of stories... is he the ultimate autist?
He is a fag like you op
Why'd you use window instead of board?
He seems smart but everyone should stop putting so much pressure on him and let him think for himself. If I was that age and had so many people talking about me, I would have tried to run away a long time ago. Futurama, monkey episode, Mars university, etc.
Any autodictats here? What have you taught yourself?
a shitload of math, but I wish I hadn't
i'm being stalked by the ghost of Georg Cantor
>>8063852
C++,Objective-C, Java, Python... I think coding is the best thing you can learn on your own.
>>8063856
I'm trying to learn math, but I'm struggling. I think I might be retarded.
Why do many phenomenon follow the Normal law distribution in nature ?
I would intuitively expect the distribution in red to be more prevalent.
How do you explain the green phenomenon ?
Central limit theorem
>>8063834
Not intuitive.
I'm asking about an explanation as to why it goes against intuition and you answer a meme ?
>>8063864
Because the world doesn't have harsh cutoffs like in red. Normal has the rapid decline to infinity which makes it more "realistic"
I think I've found one of the worlds most needed medication but how do I make the most money out of this? It's completely unheard of.

sell it to the jews

Tell me how to sell my shit and create a monopoly.

what the fuck, /sci/? are asians the only people doing shit in HS in USA? I'm from Europe and I was at some chemistry olympiads in my time and today someone posted this in a "study" group:
http://www.acs.org/content/dam/acsorg/education/students/highschool/olympiad/process/competitions/2016-usnco-top-152.pdf
WHAT THE FUCK
you can barely spot a non-asian name in that list. I'm not racist or anything, but I just can't understand how this is possible in a country where asians are a minority. Yes, I expected to find many asians names, but not 90%+
what...

Whites are to Asians as Niggers are to Whites, brainlet.
It's in the asians' culture to actually put a modicum of effort in things.
Highschool is wise
Harvard Math 55 has a reputation for being extremely difficult, but I'd wager Math in Moscow's study semester program makes Math 55 a joke.

Did you check the link in OP? They consider a course in Topology II: Introduction to Homology and Cohomology Theory an intermediate course.

so, just like every student in france?
I laugh every time someone tries to brag about their american programs
Hi /sci/.
I'm sketching ideas for some video game mechanics but my math writing skills are very weak.
I'm curious if you can understand what I failed to calculate and hope you could help me find the appropriate formula for a field, which increases the time intervals (therefore slowmo) near the center (enemy).
the size of the field is connected to the mass of the enemy, so the bigger the enemy, the further away the transition to slowmo begins.
maybe the mass and size could even be seperated so small and dense objects (enemies) will have a...

OP, what exactly is supposed to be the mechanic here? the closer you get the slower time flows? A field where time flows uniformly but slower than outside?
>>8063847
>the closer you get the slower time flows
also outside the fields can be considered a constant timeflow zone
>>8063894
linear, polynomial, exponential or logarithmic decrease?
Not talking special snowflake SJW shit here.
How would a hypothetical biological third sex work?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of adding +1 to male-female equation?
One idea I have is that it would act as a filter, that the male has to interact with before the seed is fertile for the female
reproduction would then be via Borda count.
>>8063557
Why couldn't it be independent and reproduce with itself

Fuck off tumblr, your incoherent drivel annoys us.
