Should high intelligence be classified as a mental illness?
1. High intelligence is abnormal (statistically very rare)
2. The ones affected by it are suffering. High IQ people tend to get bored quickly when having to deal with average brainlets. They suffer from alienation and from social stigma / bullying. Also they are more prone to severe depression.
3. High intelligence causes suffering to other people because they get envious.

Should being OP be classified as a mental illness?
1. Starting new threads is abnormal (statistically very rare)
2. The ones affected by it are suffering. OPs tend to get bored quickly when having to deal with no replies. They suffer from alienation and from social stigma / bullying. Also they are more prone to severe faggotry.
3. Being OP causes suffering to other people because they have to wade through countless shit threads to find one or two worthwhile.

Is it easier to heat something up or to cool it down?
Depends on many variables. Heat moves from hot to cold so assuming you had something like a fire to heat an object up, but only air to cool it down then it will heat up faster.
What do you mean easier? It requires the same amount of energy.
>>7755708
Pretty sure lack of heat is a universal constant where there aren't suns providing heat
>A broken clock is right two times every day
What if my clock (B) was broken in such a way that it ran at 1.5x the speed of a reference clock (A)? How many times on average would it he correct every day?
What if my clock (B) ran in reverse at half the speed of clock (A)?
What if clock (B) accelerated over time at a rate of X^2?
Can you generalize this into a formula to determine the maximum, minimum, and average number of times clock (B) would be correct with respect to clock (A) on any given day?
Broken clock usually means clock that doesn't run at all though
The rest of your question is just high school level physics problem, and probably your homework
>>7755688
Is that your way of saying you can't solve the problems?
The difference of amounts of revolutions per day is equal to the number of intersection as long as they have constant speed.
Hey /sci/,
I'm trying to program a function that simply takes an integer, but cycles through all non-grey RGB values (i.e. one value is 255, one value is 0, one changes). My current method requires a lot of if-statements, so I was wondering if there was a mathematical approach I could take. The value of each color's brightness has a trapezoidal waveform, and so far I have this function (couldn't get latex to work for some reason so bare with me):
(255/pi) * [ sin^-1( sin( pi/2 * x ) ) + cos^-1( cos( pi/2*x ) ) ]
However I want to "stretch"...

Op here
To clarify, I want to preserve the characteristic that the wave goes from 0 to 255 in an interval of 1, or [x,x+1], so normal sinusoidal stretching won't suffice.
So /sci/, for a whole day I've had this very weird feeling.
It's as if the back of my brain is moving inside my head when I move it too fast.
Please tell why the fuck this is happening because everyone else has been unhelpful.
>>7754898
Please, is this shit dangerous
>>7754898
Please
>>7754898
you could have an injury to your cervical spine causing instability
which wouldn't be all that dangerous just massively uncomfortable

I wonder if it's possible to use lust as a motivation for doing productive things like studying. For example don't jerk off for a few days and then every 15 minutes of studying allow yourself to jerk off but not cum for 1 minute. I wonder if you would just be distracted while studying, or if you'd overall be more motivated to do it. Does anyone know of any experiments preformed on this?
>>7751776
that sort of thing doesn't work for me. sometimes i get horny while i'm studying and i gotta go take care of it right away or else i can't study
>>7751784
Have you actually tried to just not?
Lust is too strong for the mortal man.
Okay /sci/ does anyone have any experience with the application process to become an astronaut? Whether you completed training or just sent in a resume, I'm wondering if anyone here has taken any steps at all to go into space.
Right now I'm only a few semesters from finishing my Bachelor's an seriously considering applying to flight school with the US Air Force. I do have prior experience in the military, although in a different branch, so spending a few years in the USAF isn't something I'm worried about. I want to do flight school to get some...

Why do you want to be an astronaut? You'll just be a technician, but worse still you'll be a technician that the government had flung through the air ridiculously fast.
>>7750929
But do I die? Not that anon, but really interested to know
>>7750929
probably because this guy likes cleaning stuff for 7 hours a day, kek
stupid question thread:
I'll start. Pic related, how do I do this I realize that
[math]V=-\int \vec{E} \cdot d \vec{l}[/math]
But that's all I got
How is energy conserved in special relativity?
If you have a system containing two moving objects with one having a mass that is much greater than the other's, would the energy be the same regardless of which object's frame of reference you are in?
can someone recommend me a youtube channel to teach myself the first semester of Physics with calculus?
Does anyone know how to make a LOCK out of paper? It doesn't have to resilient. Just a lock that you have to enter a combination somehow to make it unlock?
Maybe a paper bent in half with locks made out of tiny paper strips with strings on them?

When do things get challenging?

How's highschool, bud?
>>7761830
I'm not in high school. Not everyone goes through a cookie cutter life. In a few short years I'll know more maths than you, so fuck you, cunt.

Attitude of a child. Underage confirmed
At what age did you learn S.I units?
Do americans learn it before university?
>>7764988
They're taught in elementary/middle school and high school physics classes use them.
>>7764988
I've known SI Units ever since I had a memory, but I had to learn the silly imperial units, because we used american books in high school.
>>7764988
desu until I enrolled into m community college (19 y.o.), then again I dropped out of high school.
Petition to replace captcha on /sci/ with mathematical equation.
Bump here if you support this. Only unique IPs and posters will be counted.

I support this if we use this equation.

It should be a quiz about our favourite scientists.
Why are so many people obsessed with colonizing Mars?
Even if we can melt it's ice and make it warmer it's going to be losing atmosphere due to weak magnetosphere. And it's gravity is unhealthy for humans.
>>7761803
> le random mars thread
> science
This is on the level of "what is the evolutionary advantage of [insert retarded shit here]"
>>7761803
Shoot some rocks at it. Boom more gravity
>>7761803
The low gravity on Mars makes it incapable of sustaining long term settlements of humans.

MBTI thread when? I know it's not really reliable, but at least it's fun

Can't you do that over /soc/? Seems more appropriate.

I don't see how that shitty board could be appropriate for a meme psychology thread
Hello I've recently discontinued the SSRI Lexapro after six years and show all the major symptoms of ssri deficiency including severe depression, anxiety, irritability, nausea, and dizziness and I was wondering if you guys had any insights about what I can do or take to help return my brain chemistry and mood to normal.
>>7759389
Talk to a psychiatrist you fucking tard.
>>7759389
I'd suggest going to /adv/ but this really seems like a topic for professional help OP. Maybe some more knowledgeable anons can pull through here or there, but still.
Obviously, I have talked to several doctors, psychiatrists, counselors, etc. More than 50 at least- I've lost count. None of them have helped me. They've made matters worse. This is a last resort. I had posted on the /adv/ as well.
