Hey /sci/
Give me the science behind falling in love and love at first sight.
It is something genetic or does certain physical features trigger something in the brain?
I've maybe had love at first sight 2 times in my life. I've seen and met a lot of girls but only 2 really made my instinct go off, as, that girl I want to start a family with. I have now fallen in love again, with a girl I cannot reach, whom is very far away. It hurts to think about it, that I can't protect and care for here. So I try not to think about it, or to look at her...

Love isn't real. It's merely a meme, created to manipulate you into becoming a cuck.

Edgy fedorian reply here, but its chemicals, man.
You like big titty lady cause shell have plenty milk for a kid
You like wide hips lady cause shell give birth easier
A woman wants big dicks for satisfaction and the guarantee of fertilization, and good genes to pass on to offspring.
Even if kids aint what you aim to have, remember: you are programmed to do two things. Survive and multiply

It's a bit of a sick joke isn't it? All kinds of unimaginable stuff out there waiting to be explored and we will never be able to reach it. And we're just at the very beginning of knowing we will never be able to explore. It will eat away at humanity, little by little, millennia will pass and humans will get no closer than we are today.
I can't deal with it.

'unimaginable stuff' is a weird way to describe a vagina, but your conclusion is valid if you applied to yourself.

I am interested in frequency resonance after experimenting with a sound system and a low frequency oscillator on a sine wave.
Certain frequencies caused parts of the house to and other frequencies caused other parts to resonate.
I am really interested in this concept. Can things (buildings, cells, animals) be resonated to destructively? What effect does resonation have on the human body? How far can frequency resonation travel through sound waves? What sort of frequency resonation occurs in space, magnetic? What’s the relationship between magnets and sound resonance?

careful researching this publicly, I've been called esoteric for reading books on this topics but to be frank it can indeed get pretty wild...
I throw you a few terms which could be interesting to look up, cymatics, resonant frequencies, sound levitation and if you dont play an instrument, music theory.
You should take an acoustics or vibration class then.
>> can buildings, cells, animals be resonated to destruction
For buildings see earthquake.
For animals and cells there is this handy lab device known as a sonicator. It applies intense sounds to destroy cell walls so you can get stuff inside out.

Shit science question time!
Okay here's the deal: about 4-5 minutes before feeling a very compelling desire to take a shit I get this hyper focus. Suddenly reading some new wikipedia article, learning something new, studying on something usually boring and mundane becomes extremely interesting to me.
After taking the said shit, the focus is flushed down the toilet.
Is this phenomenon widespread? Does everyone feel like this? What's the science behind this?
>gotta go take a shit now
>>8133143
I have never heard of something so bizarre.
Maybe when you read interesting things you associate that feeling with taking a shit since you tend to read interesting stuff on the toilet?
>>8133143
have you thought that... being hyper focused and starting to learn something new makes you want to take a dump?
I think your shit may be giving you an anal orgasm, and you're all fucked up on oxytocin afterward.
How many papers are people expected to publish a year?
I noticed a PhD at researchgate, that in 2016 has 10 papers published, (almost 2 per month) and there´s still 6 months left in the year, those papers are mostly about the same topic but from another perse.
I as a graduate student i have only 1 paper that has a lot of effort and quality put into it. I started en february, finished in April (sent to review), and tomorrow june 10 will know if it was accepted, and im barely starting to think about my next paper at this rate i would be able to publish 2-3 papers...

Dunno if this is the proper place but let's try.
I am a electrical engineering student and i've been looking for a new calculator, since i'm starting the specifics classes i will be able to use a graphical calculator, so my question is:
which one should i buy a HP 50g or the HP prime.
i thought in buy a texas instruments calc, buy in my country they don't have support for the buyers
>>8132233
You still use a calculator?

i know i can use a smartphone, but i doubt the teacher will let me use it on a test

I am so fucking confused so I come to you, sci.
How is three phase power distributed and where does the neutral come from? I guess I am stupid because I have already read some Wikipedia articles and watched some videos but still can't wrap my head around it.
My two confusions are the neutral wire and three phase transmission. So I see three wires on the pole and these three wires go to the transformer and out comes four wires? Where does the fourth wire come from? Is it connected as input to the transformer or formed just on the secondary side? Is that netural...

>How is three phase power distributed and where does the neutral come from?
The neutral is a center tap on the transformer secondary.
>Browse to Wikipedia
>see picture with four wires on pole
>read text that clearly describes "one wire for neutral, others for A, B and C phases"

you don't need a neutral at all times.
look up floating neutral you faggot

the "ae" form near the middle is nearly identical to a band logo design for the electronic music group "Autechre", that they used more regularly about 15 years ago.
In fact it's so similar that I want more context on the image, and I wonder if Autechre or their logo designer was aware of this (if it preceded the late 90s). image looks like Star Trek: TNG, like Shut Up Wesley's homework or something.
Can one of you gents or ladies explain to me what this 3 lined stretch of this organic structure represents?
Two triple bonded carbons.
Go back to OChem day 1

it's a triple bond between two carbons, you brainlet

Hello, /sci/, no dark matter guy here again.
This is why I don't worry about the big bang and why you shouldn't either.
(Unless I'm wrong of course)

Yeah, no. Misinformed as always.
Current cosmology does not include any mention of a primordial singularity. That is an outdated idea. You're debating a strawman.
As to why the universe kept expanding the the very early universe that can be solved by looking at it today, it's flat. If it's flat today it was flat at all times under standard cosmology so at all times it was able to expand forever and overcome it's gravity. Because it was flat there is no global curvature and because there is no global curvature it never forms a black hole. So...

Dark Matter obviously does not exist, it's just a little thing to patch up faulty formulas.
Do genetics really determine how intelligent you are? Or just lay the foundation for your potential? Emphasis on potential here.
You aren't born a bodybuilder too after all. You work to become one. It's just that genetically some people are inclined to make greater progress than others even when they train equally as much.
your mom really determines everything

i live in san diego and we are infested with military redneck subhumans; to be fair some are ghetto brown/black urban types.
inbreds who join the military are subhumans from the shit ass middle/southern states and are sub-walmart level in employ skills
many of them marry the first hooker they have sex with overseas while on deployment
so in sd you see lots of kids with hick dad and hooker mother
for some reason these kids tend to be smart
these are the combos i have seen:

Why is PopSci so popular?
Why is pop music so popular?
>>8133282
I mean, the alternative is for society to think you're stupid nerd for doing actual science.
A little popsci is an acceptable alternative.
>>8133282
> Why is PopSci so popular?
It's popular because we live in a culture of impatience, where instant gratification rules. PopSci allows people to get a dose of instant gratification and illusion of knowledge without doing any hard work.

It's pretty normal for bones to come out the ground like that.
if the fragments were raked up over an area of 20 square feet and then glued back together in that shape then, yes, that would be a buncha hooey.
in reality they're found in a lump having that shape and they're glued together in the ground. You brush or scrape off some soil to expose the fragmented bone, then you immediately soak that bone in superglue or some equivalent so the fragments stay in place. Then you scrape off a...

Can an AI exhibit mathematical intuition?
Sure a computer can verify proofs, given in a formal formatting. And sure it is possible to write a program which constructs proofs as formal deductions. But is it possible to have an AI actually understand and explain the ideas behind proofs? To come up with an intuitive mental picture or an informal outline /interpretation of what happens geometrically in a proof or why you would expect the proof to go like this?
I posit that it's not possible because consciousness possesses non-computational properties and intuition...

There's nothing special about the brain. Why would human birth be the only process able to create intuition?
