Because its not Space-X. Just a regular ULA Atlas-V launch. No one cares about Orbital's launches since they stopped doing their own after their second-hand soviet rocket engine exploded.

I'm more hyped for this mission's deorbit than its routine launch. They're going to light the inside of the capsule on fire after it leaves the ISS.

If the smallest length that makes physical sense is the Planck Length, and a string is one Planck Length, doesn't that mean the diameter of a closed string is 1/pi Planck Lengths, and thus we can't distinguish between two closed strings within the same Planck area?

I don't think string theory discretizes space.

What would be the dumbest way for a future civilization (let it be a whole planet in some distant galaxy) to die trying to go against the laws of physics and common sense.

Yes. But that doesn't say much, because the stereotypical CS degree is a complete joke, that may not actually exist anywhere on the planet.

How so? It looks quite standard. A bit light perhaps, but nothing out of the ordinary.

How do I learn all Higschool math (including calc 1) as fast as possible? maybe even calc2 or calc 3 is there any book ou there that has like a crash course format? also what other subjects besides calc 2 and 3 are important in college?

If you're doing it for the first time, doing a crash course is dumb imo. Find a course or buy some textbooks from schools, universities, etc.

Don't fall for any sci textbook memes.

That would be an interesting guide if they took it a little more serious.

Hey /sci/, I have a weird thing going on. From time to time I lose vision for a split second, as if someone had flickered the lights on and off. I'm sure it's not me blinking without realizing it.

Any idea what it could be?

My cousin had a brain tumor and the same thing would happen to him. Definitely get an MRI and avoid any heavy lifting until then.

There is no secret. It's hard work. It requires effort.

All you niggers laughed at me when I said flying cars and hoverboards were happening soon well I've been following the lithium-polymer market and the power density has been steadily increasing by 3% every 6 months. And whenever they release a new range the previous range halves in price. You'll cowards are too pussy to be on the frontiers of technology like me. Kill yourselves.

Is the empty graph a pointless concept?
25 posts and 3 images submitted.
>>
Have you taken a course in graph theory? It comes up in proofs where you need to do induction on the number of edges, for instance. By empty graph, I'm assume you mean: any number of vertices, and no edges.
>>
>>7948407
It's meant by the graph on zero vertices, which is occasionally an annoyance as a base case.

I prefer unmathematical physics actually. Sure it may never give us a means to make portals but at least we can discuss the philosophy of them.
