So, does gravity abide by the speed of light?
I mean, hypothetically, if the sun were to blink out of existence would we fell the gravitational effect immediately or 8 minutes after?
8 minutes after
>>7699554
No.
Speed of light.
what are ideas? neural connections in the brain
so, if someone can map all neural connection of a specific idea, maybe he can also construct that neural connection in other brain. It will be a complete idea transfer between two brain.
You won't use words to explain something to somebody anymore. You will only tranfer your idea to the persons brain you're talking to.
It has a quite wide use. Not more reading books or learning something by classical method. You only will download all neural connections necessary.
You guys believe will it be possible someday? How long to it get real?
Transplanting a neuron cluster from one brain to another would be like cutting out a random bit of machine language code from one program and putting it in another. There's the slightest chance that it'll do what you want but most of the time it would just as good as random bytes.
It is like Matrix, where you can learn kung-fu just by downloading some file.
The concept is not totally implausible. I suggest that you check back in a couple of hundred years.

Would this not be working backwards in terms of transgenders gaining acceptance? If I am not mistaken, their "evidence" that transgenders aren't kooks is that their brains look like the opposite sex in scans.
>tl;dr brains aren't gendered so how are transgendered individuals not wackjobs?
Why do you care?

Why do you care about anything? Go kill yourself already.

Im glad i dont know this girl irl cuz I would fall in love, get friendzoned and get depression for the next few years
fuck my life
>Although von Neumann unfailingly dressed formally, he enjoyed throwing extravagant parties and driving hazardously (frequently while reading a book, and sometimes crashing into a tree or getting arrested).[2] He once reported one of his many car accidents in this way: "I was proceeding down the road. The trees on the right were passing me in orderly fashion at 60 miles per hour. Suddenly one of them stepped in my path."[3] He was a profoundly committed hedonist who liked to eat and drink heavily (it was said that he knew how to count everything except calories), [4] and persistently gaze at the legs of young women (so much so that female secretaries at Los Alamos often covered up the exposed undersides of their desks with cardboard).[5]
Biopic when?
>exposed legs
this is why we need shariah law
If only he had lived longer and not gotten nuclear bomb cancer
>>7699169
Based.
Why did we have such based and interesting scientists/mathematicians around WWII?
The "gravitational constant" is a myth, and if your physics courses still teach it as immutable truth then you need to switch schools.
>>7699095
>I'm mad that physics 1 for freshmen makes simplifications
Gee you must be very popular
>>7699104
There's "simplification" and then there's just flat out wrong.
An equivalent would be like if in biology, you learned Biblical creationism and Lamarckian evolution for the first couple semesters before "graduating" to actual biology.
>>7699095
I love that picture, it perfectly communicates the difference between knowing a factoid and actually understanding something
I've discovered the numberphile channel so far, and I'm really amazed by it. It's well explained without much silly talk, but not too complicated for (at least) college students. Does somebody also know other youtube channels for different scientific areas (as for example physics?).
Would be really great, if somebody posts them
GTFO OUT WITH YOUR POPSCI AND POPMATH BULLSHIT
>>7698906
>It's well explained without much silly talk
It's 100% silly talk.
Sixty symbols, computerphile are good ones too
I feel like I will be shunned for asking this dumb question but,
If you throw a ball 10mph up in the air 50ft, how fast will it go when it comes back down...and how do u solve this please so I can study more of this stuff
Freshman Physics Major here
It should come down at the exact same speed. Considering we are taking out the affect of air and wind.

Remember that throughout its flight, as long as you negate air friction, potential energy + kinetic energy are always the same.
Example:
PE1 + KE1 = PE2 + KE2
Why did you do a PhD?
because 300k starting

What's the name of the fallacy where you agree with your openent in a way where it makes their idea seem invalid.

Sarcasm
The nist wtc experiments imply the steel weakened 50%
Buildings have a 10-20x safety margin
Jews did wtc
>>7698809
Can't argue with that... math?
1 divided by 20 is 0.05, which is a 50% drop (0.05% drop is the inverse of 50.0% gain).
The match checks out.
It wasn't just the steel weakening, the whole structure was fucked at initial impact. You know, by having a plane pass through it...
π: ratio of circle's circumference to it's diameter
we can generalize this concept to n dimensions
1_π: what we generally call pi, or the ratio of a 1-sphere's circumference to the line bisecting it: 2πr/2r = π
2_π: ratio of 2-sphere's surface area to the area enclosed by the 1-sphere bisecting it 4πr^2/πr^2 = 4
3_π: ratio of 3-sphere's surface volume to the volume enclosed by the 2-sphere bisecting it 2π^2r^3/(4pir^3/3) = 3π/2
in general, n_π is the ratio of an n-sphere's (n-1) bounding surface space to the space enclosed by the n-2 sphere bisecting it: given by the equation:
n_π = 2√π * Γ((n+1)/2)/Γ(n/2)
From this we can see that in even dimensions n_π is a rational number but in odd dimensions n_π is transcendental.
consciousness can only exist when π is transcendental, our space is conveniently 3 dimensions
you exist due to pure anthropic chance

look up vortex math
I dispute your assertion the the interior angles of a circle are 360. It's infinity.
>>7698729
360 is the angle about the center, you dingus.
Degrees are arbitrary.
What does /sci/ think about ETH Zürich in Switzerland?
I'm studying there, it's pretty GOAT, but the women are terrible.
Well it's in the best country in the world, so it must be good.
>everybody has a gun, based gun laws
>only white people
>no crime
>beautiful scenery
>rich as fuck
ETH Zürich physics student reporting in, bretty good, workload is intense, but the second and third year of the bachelor are rumored to be less stressfull. The ETH is among the best universities of the world when it comes to physics. (still wishing I was studying in Cambridge though, oh well).
Any questions?
Does the gibberish written on the blackboard ever make sense?
Holy shit this board is so garbage
>>7698667
>Girls do better than boys in math + science
That is definitely not true. I will give them that girls and boys can be as good as each other when it comes to math and science. Seriously, this femenist proapaganda of "womyn be gud and buys b dumm" hurts my head.
>stereotypes keep them away from STEM
Says who? Where's the data. Has a woman ever said:
Oh, I really wanted to get a 300k starting job in mathematics but the stereotypes just pushed me away to psychology to get this shitty 30k job.
Because that's bullshit. Nobody would shy away from making bank because stereotypes that don't even exist anyways. Women get in STEM and do just fine. None of them get raped by the creepy engineers like feminists claim.
>>7698667
Arguable, the success you experience in school and the success you gain in professional work is not likely as correlated as you would like. The 1%'ers that make it as successful and productive STEM'ers, especially in the hard sciences, are different in a way grades only partially show. They certainly got good grades, but there is a huge difference between learning and creating.

Hey /sci/ averagefag here with a question. What would have happened if we started to build down, into the ground, instead of up?
>>7698572
We wouldn't because digging into the ground is more of a pain in the ass than just sticking floors on top of one another.
