>school gets $40,000,000 in tax dollars
>doesn't spend it on new academic facilities, better teachers, new learning aids, etc
>spends every cent on a fucking stadium for 15 year olds in pads to run into each other for 3 hours for 6 friday nights out of the 52 in a year

why is this allowed?

Because it will turn a larger profit

If it turns a profit, why did the city need to pass a new tax to support it?

>>7652283
That's a really neat looking stadium though.

Also nepotism.

That’s what math is— wondering, playing, amusing yourself with your imagination. For one thing, the question of how much of the box the triangle takes up doesn’t even make any sense for real, physical objects. Even the most carefully made physical triangle is still a hopelessly complicated collection of jiggling atoms; it changes its size from one minute to the next. That is, unless you want to talk about some sort of approximate measurements. Well, that’s where the aesthetic comes in. That’s just not simple, and consequently it is an ugly question which depends on all sorts of real-world details. Let’s leave that to the scientists. The mathematical question is about an imaginary triangle inside an imaginary box. The edges are perfect because I want them to be— that is the sort of object I prefer to think about. This is a major theme in mathematics: things are what you want them to be. You have endless choices; there is no reality to get in your way.

No shit, retard. None of math is empirical. Science and math are different things and Math is vastly superior because it relies solely on priori truths.

Have fun doing repetitive lab experiments for the rest of existence.

Yes, it's another free will thread.

Do you think we will ever understand "free will"? Will we ever be able to say whether or not it exists?

Well I believe time travel to the past is impossible because some events are random, therefor free will (randomness) exists.

Because we cannot predict the future, even if we decide it to be unchanging and predetermined, predetermined fate is not a constructive thought model.

I have a question about the multiverse theory. How would a species even test for a multiverse? By definition doesn't it mean every universe is completely separate? So here's a multi-part question, feel free to address whichever one you want.

1. How do scientists today test for multiverses? or alternate(higher) dimensions?

2. How would a highly advanced species test for it, like say humanity in 500 years if we advance into space and dont destroy ourselves

I have read before that human legs and the human gait make humans the most efficient land mammals in terms of moving around.

Is this true?

If not, what do you think is?

Also, what do you think is the least efficient land mammal/animal?

I'm a complete amateur so I'm just gonna try to set the thing up. Please correct me if I fuck it up.

P(x) = x^y=y^x

Base case: P(0) = 0^y = y^0

0 = 1;

It fails the base case. Proof by induction?

So everyone is busy discussing the memedrive but what happened to this?

Any news on the lockheed fusion reactor? Will it ever come true? Do fusion reactors violate any laws of physics like the memedrive does?

While travelling in our solar system quickly would be great I think the short-term implications of basically free energy would be a lot bigger.

nope, lockheed doesn't seem to serious.

>>Do fusion reactors violate any laws of physics like the memedrive does?
go outside and look at the sky when it's not cloudy. You will either see one or dozens of fusion reactors.

>>While travelling in our solar system quickly would be great
fusion can do this too.

What's the gravity threshold? How massive does something need to be at the bare minimum to warp space-time? And don't say it's relative because clearly it's not.

>>7649696
it's relative
>>
>>7649696
A minimum? There isn't supposed to be one but obviously it gets a lot harder to measure the gravity the lighter you go.
>>
>>7649696
Anything with mass affects space-time. So 0.00000000000000...1g All infinitesimal amounts.

How do you feel about the definite possibility that Memedrive can make anime real?

Too bad magnetic fields can't do work.

And it cant suck cock. I want EMDrive to blow me.

But still, it seems like the results are definitely and systematically reproducible, even in vaccum. So, why dont we just send one up into orbit and test that shit? The thrust it generates is definitely enough for positional micro-control of satellites.

a changing magnetic field never comes alone
