Have you ever heard of the double slit experiment, where they fire atoms at a photo sensitive wall, and they behave differently as if grains of sand or waves, depending on if there's a fucking camera that's on, observing them?
>>8177082
Yes, I've heard of it but unfortunately it does not interest me. The lowly physicist can provide an adequate explanation, but the phenomena will never be as perplexing as the intricacies of pure mathematics.
>>8177082
Yes, I heard of that.
> depending theres a camera
It's a measurement device that actually interferes with the process retard, not just a camera.
Next time read the fucking paper rather than just the title of it.

Hey sci, listen I need someone to help me solve this shit, I'm struggling with picrealated concept and this specific exercise is killing me, how do I calculate the resulting Net force?
problem says " the car Z pulls the mass m=900 kg on a 45° plane. acceleration is constant and 1.2 m/s^2 calculate the force in the cord S (answer is 4952 N)
so I know that with taht config the net force of the block is 2S but during the free body diagram I fail to see how shit piles up. I have exam soon, help a broda
or if you could just tell me where is ti appropriate to ask this shit, I can't do it by myself
>>8176893
Worksafe requests would have been appropriate, but whatever.
Three components: friction between the block and the slope, gravity acting on the block, and acceleration of the block. Any questions on how to figure those out? Or is the problem with vector addition?
sorry, but yeah I made those but vector addition doesn't do the job, pic related with my solutions.
Why is the human body so disgusting?
>>8176812
Depends on the gender. Only the female body is disgusting, due to its slimy bleeding holes and its stinking hormone loaded sweat. The male body on the other hand can reach the pinnacle of aesthetics. Pic related.
>>8176812
It depends on the body. Some are sublime in their beauty.

Stop stuffing your mouth for one second and you won't be disgusting, fatty mcfat.
Can we have a chess thread?
Post your chess waifus, favourite openings and puzzles.
By the way, I've uploaded a couple Chess-related books on various aspects of the game. ~90 in total, roughly 900 megs.

I am a third year mathematics student whos always neglected physics. Frankly speaking, past the material my differential equations lecturer tried to force down our throats I dont know jackshit about physics. Is there a book (that includes exercises) that can teach me what I need to know in order to start looking into doing a physics minor?
University Physics by Young & Freedman

I would actually skip this and look to pick up something more mathematically sophisticated, something more at your level. you might give classical mechanics by taylor a try, or maybe kleppner and kolenkow. Alternatively, if you have a solid knowledge of ODE, linear algebra, and know a little group theory, you might just start off with Arnold's "mathematical methods of classical mechanics" which provides a full overview of the subject from a rigorous perspective grounded in differential, and more...

I took a real analysis based ODE class and I am pretty comfortable with group theory. Should be alright. My only concern is that I would like a broad basis so I can pick and choose courses at my uni rather than learn about a specific subject now, would this book be suited for this?
>>8176469
Will look this one up now

what did he mean by this?
You must be 18+ to post
>>8176148
it means the operator is not gay, transsexual, genderfluid, pansexual, bisexual, doesn't do drugs, doesn't drink alcohol etc.
Or that there are no eigenvalues of order more than 1.
>>8176148
He means it doesn't support homosexuality or feminism.
Will snorting a small line of speed help me focus? I have so far never experimented with amphetamines, other than recreationally, and Ritalin or Adderall are too expensive to just try them out without a prescription.
Its fairly clean stuff as far as I can tell and I have noticed increased concentration when using it in certain settings reaching as far as tunnel vision.
Normally I have a hard time keeping my focus up, like right now, when I should be learning but instead am writing this post.
Anyone have experience with amphetamines that arent specifically designed...

I have experimented with many drugs in the past. My advice dont do it.
It wont give you anything good.
Stick to coffee.
>>8176032
But arent diseases like ADHD treated with amphetamins?
The inability to focus for more than ten minutes is as far as I know a symptom of ADHD, so even if I dont have that specific disease (which I dont think I have), I should be able to treat the same symptoms with the same substance, right?
speed as in street amphetamine or worse yet, methamphetamine? no, methamphetamine is far too euphoric and who knows what adulterants are in it.
snorting speed also hurts like a bitch and fucks up your nose, btw
>so even if I dont have ADHD (which I dont think I have), I should be able to treat the same symptoms with the same substance, right?
no
brain doesn't work like that, adhd is a neurological disorder
trust me, as someone who actually has ADHD, stimulants and amphetamines do not affect ADHD and neurotypical...

Why is the existence of black holes so widely accepted? From what I have seen, there exists no conclusive evidence.

>what I have seen

> No Black Holes Exist, Says Stephen Hawking—At Least Not Like We Think. Black holes do not have "event horizons" beyond which there is no return, according to renowned physicist. This artist's concept illustrates a supermassive black hole, which are enormously dense objects buried at the hearts of galaxies.

Recently realized that the only good candidate for a date marked in mm/dd/yy form to resemble the digits of e would be on the 7th of February in 2018 (2/7/18). So since that'll be the most logical day to celebrate this constant, how would one go about celebrating e day in a pi day sort of fashion? Only eating foods that start with e? Opening a Roth IRA?

I remember learning that asians get drunk fast because they don't have alcohol-dehydrogenaze enzyme. Also some bullshit about ATP-synthesis, and that DNA is made of adenine, cytosine, guanine, and something beginning with T (too lazy to google). When DNA is unwinded, RNA-copies are made where uracyl replaces one of the ATCG compounds, I don't remember which...
Sometimes in movies, you see this "sterilization chamber" where a guy walks in, gets sprayed by something, and walks out apparently without contaminants anymore.
I don't know very much about biology and such, but is this real? If so, what is actually being sprayed on the individual? Is it steam? Rubbing alcohol? Some sort of cleaning solution?
Pic related. It's a scene from "MouseHunt", the quickest reference I could pull.
yes, but in reality they are multi stage events.
they wash off your protective gear. Then you strip that off.
then you get washed again and you strip your clothing.
then you wash again and put on clean clothes.

Am I wrong in thinking that the better part of a food's nutrients are lost when it's stored and packaged? As in even if freezing meat keeps it from going bad, it also loses much of the nutrients that composed the original organism?
>>8175543
>Am I wrong in thinking that the better part of a food's nutrients are lost when it's stored and packaged?
yes
>>8175548
But when you eat something fresh, its essence has yet to fully depart it. If you freeze it and then eat it a few months later, that essence will be completely disappeared by that point in time.
