Absolutely not, that's what a reentering ballistic missile looks like.

Why do I post a spaceship from Rouge System instead of an actual picture of the behemoth?
Because according to what everyone was stoked for we should have reactionless FLUX drives like the ship in pic related.
Why don't we take 1 billion from every country and build a fuckhuge fuckpowerful collider around the circumference of the earth that collides particles at joules of energy?
>>7645148
>resulted in nothing useful for humanity
Completely wrong. Even if you consider high energy physics experiments useless, only the construction and development of the LHC provided us a lot of new technology.
>>7645168
Genuinely curious, what new technologies came from it?
I know, I know, I'm late. I don't have a trained eye either. Does the consumption of processed meats increase your risk of cancer? Have the reports been exaggerated?
If not, what does the world health organization have to gain?

eating increases your risk of cancer

Just let what you like kill you.
>>7644995
Oh, gee, bacon isn't good for you. What a fucking surprise. It must be a conspiracy.
>>7644995
It does increase your risk of cancer. However, based on the given numbers, it's not that much of a big deal. If you ate bacon every day, it would only give you an extra 0.4% chance of dying of cancer you wouldn't otherwise have gotten.
This works out to a lifetime of bacon-eating costing you, on average, maybe three weeks of your life, or about one minute per serving. You probably lost that much time out of your life cooking it in the first place.

You need to see a doctor if you experience those symptoms after cumming. I can cum then do it again 20 mins later. I wake up horny as hell the next day. You must have an endocrine problem.
Disagree. It removes all remaining emotional feeling. Clears my mind of everything irrelevant.
Do you suppose Star Destroyers use some form of quantum locking in the magnetic fields of the planets they visit in order to maintain their altitude in atmosphere?
>>7644971
no because star wars was made before all of that quantum crap hit the pop-sci scene
Yes, and quantum popping.

Why haven't we evolved into a Type I Civilization yet? Why must we cut funding for science and halt progression to joint pointless wars over black gold?
Only correct answer is bc hitler didnt win
>>7644956
Because you can't throw money at scientific progress. It requires a special mind to solve issues that are currently unsolvable. To go into Type I civilization you need to solve nuclear fusion and create a network of fusion plants to power the planet. Also the black gold is dying. Cheap oil is running out, and a lot of countries are changing to natural gas or fission power. The latter is becoming important in China and India. Two countries that consume a lot of oil.
>>7644964
africa and india havn't modernized yet and are going to go through a massive period of growth
people seem to ignore this but the world's electricity consumtion is going to more than triple very soon and this will most likely be run through coal and gas.
It's ironic that pro-environment hippies basically fucked up the world more than anybody else by giving into anti-nuclear fear campaigns

If you drilled a hole pole to pole and you descended through it with no brakes and hypothetically you don't die from the inhospitable conditions, would you stop accelerating once you reach the core of the Earth? Or would you be able to pass through the core and reach the other side?
It's an old question and barring all the relevant rules of physics you'd come out in the other end 42 minutes after you entered the hole.
>>7644907
Gravitational acceleration is higher as you get further down, but without brakes you would have enough acceleration that as you passed the centre, you would start shooting away toward the other pole albeit with less energy
>>7644907
Your acceleration would decrease as you approached the center, you'd pass right through the other side, and you'd keep slowing down as you rose until you emerged exactly on the other side of the Earth about 42.2 minutes later. Then you'd fall back down again, and neglecting air resistance, keep oscillating forever.
Fun fact: If you ignore friction and the Earth's rotation, then a gravity-powered ride (say a rolling ball or something) down *any* straight hole drilled between two points on Earth's surface will reach the other end in about 42.2 minutes. The reduced rate of acceleration is exactly canceled out by the reduced distance.
So the average med student has 124IQ What is the average IQ of a harvard Med student

Like 93 or something, Harvard med just means you have rich parents or are black.

Is one more iconic than the other? Or is just a generational thing? Will kids in the future even know what either of these two things were?
>>7644509
I'd say more people would be able to recognise the Shuttle than the Saturn V, mainly because it's just more unique in appearance
>>7644509
Shuttle is more iconic. Saturn V is more archetypal.
Space shuttle is by far more recognizable. The shuttles were more unique in name and appearance, had more flights, and had more recent high profile incidents.

I'm starting a physics major having already taken Calc 1 in dual enrollment (high school) and chem 1 in DE as well. Any tips? Strategies to retain the information I'll be learning?
It's not hard. You just need to treat it as a real job and put in 40 hour weeks by your second year. It's impossible to do badly unless you're really lazy as fuck.
>>7644456
I'm also doing pre-med classes, and ROTC for the USAF. Do you think that's all manageable?

Enjoy waking up at 5:30am every day and being yelled at for not polishing your shoes enough. Also, it's difficult as fuck to go directly into med school afterwards.
New neurophysiological evidence suggests humans feel empathy for robots.
Participants were shown a picture of a humanoid robot hand and a human hand in a painful situation, e.g. a cut from a knife. An electroencephalograph showed the brain potentials of the participants. The changes in potentials were similar for the human and robotic hand. A slight difference in the potentials was seen during the beginning of the empathic process, with a weaker reading for the robot hand during the ascending P3 phase (350-500ms after stimulus presentation). The difference disappeared during the descending P3 phase (500-650ms). The difference could be due to humans not being able to think from the perspective of the robot as easily as from their fellow human.

Is it silly to feel empathy for electronic circuits?
Because retards can't make that distinction and associate it with actual people who were in those situations, while disregarding the fact that those robots are contextually the same with your calculator.
>>7644383
The electronic circuits are made to resemble people. Why the fuck wouldn't you feel empathy for a sentient humanoid? HOW CAN YOU BE THIS RETARDED?
