Downside: doesn't seem longitudinal. Self-report all the way down.
You can instantly rehabilitate someone which restores their motivation to live by challenging their instinct for survival. You just have to give them an option, that's all.
Do you think we qualify as a domesticated animal under the Darwinian theory of evolution?

do you qualify as stupid under the Darwinian theory of evolution?
>>7786176
Have you read the work? I simply mean the fact that Darwin never touched on the evolution of our species, yet goes over in detail domesticated evolution.
Would we not qualify as a domesticated species?
Suppose energy becomes free and unlimited (not literally, but in a sense say that fusion is discovered). And suppose that energy via fusion is so easy to make that they literally hand out fusion devices on the streets for free and the whole world had free energy from now on.
How would the world change?
How would the society change, as in, petroleum and fuel companies would cease to exist, what will they base their focus on? Energy transfer companies would die out, as you'd have a device in your yard, and literally everywhere else powering your needs.
What would be the main consequence of this discovery and the world after it?
How would science advance, having not to worry about energy ever again? What would the first next big scientific breakthrough or engineering wonder come to life, considering energy is not holding it down anymore?
> Suppose energy becomes free and unlimited
:^)
>>7786175
What? It's a legitimate question, read the next two words after it.
>>7786170
Why won't the free energy meme die already it is not fucking possible.
Cuz I'm scared of all the shit aliens could made to destroy fucking kill everybody
>>7786157
Mods please remove this shit
>>7786157
oh noes its the chimney lobster people
where is my free energy?
You've chosen relativistic theory, but you were mistaken. You should have chosen Ether. Now enjoy your butthurt and $30 oil.
/sci/, quick question, would photosynthesis be efficient under a white flourescent light like pic related
Go grow your weed somewhere else
>>7786137
we dont have a garden

I'm just trying to make experiments on some fucking beans and I don't want to wait for summer so they can have fucking enough light.
Everywhere i go on this board, i hear that math education in freedomland is utter shit.
Maybe im just stupid, but i cant find a proper source for the detailed curriculum of colleges in the US.
Could someone give me a brief summary of content taught on the first few college years of a math student?
For comparison, first year computer science student from germany here, finishing my first 13 weeks of being a student on some pleb university. (18 years old)
Here is my first year so far, only concerning my math courses, proving everything from scratch:
http://pastebin.com/mDVEB7gK
We learned how to handle 80% of the operations needed in high school, like derivation, differentiation and basic calculus, so no need to learn the handicraft. Pure proofs...
>tl;dr is US math education system really that shit? Compare with german masterrace(link).
>body
It's called a field.
I was surprised to find out that American highschool math is more rigorous than UK hs equivalent math because europoors can never find enough time to explain how dumb america is
Not sure much about the euro uni courses but I know they would need some catching up to do

What's /sci/'s opinion on material science? Is there interesting research going on in the field?
>>7785990
i think its a meme degree desu. if you want to do materials i would do pure chem with a graduate degree in materials.
>>7787029
in a perfect world the only undergrad stem degrees would be physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics
everything else would be a specialization in grad school
I think we all have one of those
>what do you love the most in your studies?
>what do you hate the most in your studies?
>>7785883
>>what do you love the most in your studies?
video games
>>what do you hate the most in your studies?
math
>>7785883
Love: AI, math
Hate: Debugging code when trying to implement/test whatever
>>7785883
Everyone ever hates unit test.
Love is more independent so I'd say graphics programming that shits fun... First raytracer is like ooooooo
Why is /sci/ so opposed to popsci or dumbing down science for the masses? I don't understand. First of all, making science interesting is what will get the youth to major in STEM and help the average Joe to understand scientific advances.
For example, do you think it's right for children to be introduced to Chemistry by finding the concentration of a substance in mol/L? Of course not! That's absurd.
Bill Nye the Science Guy was an extremely dumbed down show to explain science to kids in a way that isn't the interest equivalent of styrofoam on dry toast.
Why do you guys hate this approach so much?
>>7785870
because then we have to deal with faggots such as you
Because FUCKING NORMIES REEEEEEEEE
Muh sekrit club mentality.
what does /sci/ think of the veracity of this premise?
Sounds completely logical. I have nothing to counter it.
People can be simple minded
>>7785845
Psychological studies like these that rely on binary answers to intricately worded questions are shit. All this proves is that the result is dependent on what questions you choose and how you word them, not on anything real.
Last year there was a thread and an anon posted a link to an onedrive cloud with a dump of textbooks. I lost the link before I could download all the books. Does anyone have it? Pic related are some of the folders of the cloud.
Also if any anon is willing to post some clouds with up to date books, their welcome.

Oh yeah, yes it is dead. Been dead for like a couple weeks at least I think.

What do you guys think Michio Kaku?
He's okay, I guess.
Proof that even intelligent people are retards when they speak out of their field.
he did a lecture at my school last year.
guy seemed like a pretentious dick
and looked ALOT older than he appears to be
