So, Yellowstone really is capable of erupting at anytime?
Even with a few weeks notice in advance, how would rescue efforts even begin to save two thirds of the US?
we will let it erupt inside your mums mouth
The next eruption will likely be much, much, much smaller than that and have months to years advance notice.
>>7733121
No; the amount of melt is currently too low to support a catastrophic eruption. While it could theoretically erupt "any day now" geologically speaking, we would likely get months or years of warning beforehand.

I post on /his/ more than /sci/, but in on topic threads /sci/ has far more intelligent discussions than /his/ could ever hope for.

How does smoking cause cancer? I want very scientific answers only. Not any of that "smoking causes cancer cause it's bad!!" or "99% of smokers die cause they smoked a lot!!" bullshit that public media randomly throws at you.

Inflammation
Some natural and artificial compounds found in tobacco are carcinogenic, when you smoke the tobacco these compounds enter your lungs and can mutate the DNA in whichever cells it enters. This means that when they replicate via mitosis to replace themselves, they could potentially grow uncontrollably and form a tumor (mass of cells). This is all due to chance as some mutations are harmless and go unnoticed.
I haven't done bio in years so thats the best I could do.
>>7732267
Polonium. Agitation of tissues from hot vapors and smoke, slowing the function of cilia over time. Probably some compounds that pass cell membranes and potentially alter DNA. Might function as a cancer promoter by inhibiting the immune system.
Post math problems from your country universities' entrance exam.

yeah, but you forgot to mention students take it after two years of tertiary education
france is based though
>>7732036
There are virtually no entrance requirements in my country (besides not being a HS-dropout). Any idiot can study math.

Mr. Glass desu
Is there any way of producing 100% ethanol for less then 3$ a liter in great quantities.
yeah, steal it, then its free
>>7730830
brew it then distil it
>>7730845
You can't produce 100% pure ethanol through distillation, the most you can get is about 95%
Start plotting out pi in a 3d version of a hankel matrix
There's a pattern. This is pretty significant. I would plot out this myself but I have no 3d rendering software or skills, and my 2d sketches are nearly impossible to read.
3 1 4
1.2
5....9
what do you mean by plot? I presume you need some function f(x1,x2,x3,...xn) but what are the dependent variables here and what is the form of f?
>>7730609
Thats pretty interesting brah.
How did you think of that?
>>7730609
thanks anon i guess you wont mind if i publish this
Are people who try to memorize a lot of decimals of pi(or other constants) intellectually simple human beings?
Yes. Likely insecure as well
the more digits they memorize, more intellectual they are. i know the first 2 digits 5/7
yes you are an intellectually simple human being op
Is there anything particularly interesting about this graph?
Sum[n=1..infinity] (1/n)*sin(ithprime(n)*pi*x)
Is there?
Does it converge in some points at infinity? Is it possible to find a convergence domain?
Not that I could get anything out of it numbertheoretically speakig...
>>7727576
What?
Why not use some kind of inflatable to get a spacecraft up near the edge of space, then turn on the engines?
Or maybe just attach some big helium-blimp-tank-things to the sides so that the craft weighs roughly zero on the ground during launch?
Because what ever your trying to lift into space cannot be lifted by a large helium balloon. It weighs thousands of tons.
>>7726202
Nah... The Hubble telescope, for example, only weighed like 12 tons.
Sure, the shuttle and the boosters and all that fuel weigh a lot more than that, but you don't need all that weight if you just float stuff most of the way up.
>>7726206
24,000lbs is still a lot of weight to lift with a helium balloon. And besides, to get the telescope out of our orbit you would need thrusters which would add to the weight even more.
You don't think NASA engineers have though of this lol?
Is Geology a good science?
>>7723653
Really good fun, would recommend.
Are there any decent quality reasonably priced geological compasses?
The term is thrown around a lot, but making an obsession with rocks and minerals your life's work is literal Aspergers.

As opposed to shitposting on a Karenni weaving corkboard?
Explain. As someone with physics background, this really blows my mind. The femur breaks at ~1700PSI, how does this guy with any part of his body withstand 2900PSI at 8:31?

Their Bodies are just well trained
>>7734837
Yeah, but he's skimpy. Also, soft tissue. Other than becoming extremely calloused how do you train that?
>>7734816
They should have used a repeatable machine for the bat, he hit a spot with no ribs, so more tissue to absorb the blow there, probably took in some air as well to further cushion it
The bend in the spear helps to take some of the edge off, if it was hardwood he'd be screwed, and the neck isn't too weak, 2 average people can bend some rebar with their throats

bingo
May anyone explain to me how do I solve this, /sci/?
>>7734007
Try expressing it in a Banach space first, then it should be trivial.
>>7734011
This
x^log_x(a) = a
If American education is such shit, why does America house the top universities in the world?
>>7733932
Because rankings actually evaluate how concentrated research is. In the US you have a few excellent unis and lots of shit ones while in Europe, virtually all are very good.
Besides, education quality =/= research quality.
>>7733944
>rankings
What rankings are you referring to?
>>7733944
>comparing dozens of countries to a single one and claiming superiority
Eurocucks everyone.
