http://wap.engadget.com/2015/12/09/google-we-have-proof-that-our-quantum-computer-really-works/

>Google announced a breakthrough in the field of quantum computing Wednesday. The company thinks it's found a quantum algorithm that solves problems 100 million times faster than conventional processes. If confirmed, this discovery could not only lead to iRobot-style artificial intelligence but also advance the US space program by light years.

Will we see consumer products with this sort of technology in it within our lifetime? Or, are we doomed to be 1 generation too late to see it?

How is this going to advance our space program?
>>
>>7714216
In every single way possible. But, I guess we'd have to actually have a space program to advance in order to actually advance it.

Could information move faster than light?

Through space, no.
>>
>>7713911
yes. for example, just take a stick with the length of the distance from earth to mars. when you now move the stick, you can communicate from earth to mars faster than the speed of light.

>take a stick with the length of the distance from earth to mars

No. I can't believe this idea still comes up.

Communication via "rigid" stick is much, much slower than light.

Do you think is ok that some students fail science and engineering courses just because the made some algebra or arithmethic mistake on some test and teachers doesn't care to check if they understand the concepts just follow recipes and follow procedures?

>Do you think is ok that some students fail science and engineering courses

Yes. Scientists and engineers need to calculate values.

For mathematics, no. You should never be allowed to use a calculator in the first place and if you make a sign error or whatever you go back and fix it.

I need to get 52% on my Organic Chemistry final to pass the class

I got 43% on the midterm and have not studied since, only mindlessly took notes (very good notes though)

I have 2 full days (7am-12pm) + 3 hours today to study for everything

how fucked am i

Probably, I know when I took organic chem the final was much more difficult than the midterm. There's a chance is you religiously study the reactions and their mechanisms

This got me thinking.

How can we here right now find things left on the Moon from those missions? There's still a Rover up there and landing

What size telescope do I need to actually focus in on objects left behind and see them for myself? My shitty one I bought for $50 just isn't going to cut it.

The largest object on the moon seems to be "Apollo 15 S-IVB" located at 1.51°S 11.81°W is it even on the Earth side of the moon?

It's too small. You would need a telescope about 200 meters with sophisticated Adaptive Optics in diameter just to resolve the LM as a pixel.

You can't because its all fake and Earth is flat. Don't believe their lies!

Since medicine is science, I thought I'd ask this question here. Do you sci bros think there might be corruption or doctors with bad intentions in the medical field? I always think of doctors as the people with the highest integrity in society without shred of bad intention in them - except for plastic surgeons. What do you guys think?

This basically. You kind of have to be able to get excited about your field. I constantly find myself thinking "wow this stuff is so Fucking cool ". I think if you have that you can be great in any engineering field.

The ln term is just 1 (inside is the definition e)
the sin^2 term is 1

not sure about the sum, but I'm willing to bet the cosh shit reduces to 1 as well and the sum then is 2, so you get 2=2
