Your article literally says that the animation is only slightly inaccurate (the rotation around the sun is supposed to be tilted 60 degrees). The planets do trace helixes as the sun orbits the center of the galaxy.

Can someone explain why the expanding fireball has a smaller fireball expanding outward on the left?
>>1004911
Probably because something in or around the bomb wasn't symmetric.

Complete guess, but maybe because the reaction expanded/progressed in one direction faster than the other in the milliseconds after detonation

My guess would be a hydrogen/thermonuclear bomb which uses a small fission bomb (the primary) to set off a chain reaction in a much more powerful fusion stage (the secondary).
They do go off milliseconds apart and produce a distinctive double spike in gamma rays, which is how they're detected.
>>1007391
it is a 29kt fission bomb called Teapot - Apple 2
>>1001205
The problem is more than that. It's that some planets are shown as consistently behind the sun, meaning that if you looked at the system from the reference frame of the sun, the planets would orbit a point some light-minutes offset from the sun. That is not what happens.

In case anyone is wondering, that's what flux-core arc welding is. An electric arc melts the wire and penetrates the steel being welded, combining the two pieces.
The cloud between the wire and the melted steel gas that's produced by the flux. Flux is a chemical that's put inside the welding wire to expel oxygen and generally just to protect the weld from the atmosphere. Additionally an external gas (normally CO2) is also used.
>>1000407
>They orbit sideways, not up and down, for one thing.
Exactly how high do you have to be to realize that there are more than 2 dimensions and that POVs at different angles are possible? You realize that there is no sideways, up, or down in space, right?

I don't really understand what electrophoresis has to do with a really ugly codon chart, and how either of them have to do with literal fingerprints. Maybe it's a metaphor? DNA fingerprinting is a thing.
I guess the problem is that there isn't exactly a direct biology analogue to the general format (abstract, mathematical model -> graphical representation -> real life). I would've done a DNA or RNA sequence on the far left, a ribbon model of a protein in the middle, and basically anything relating to an organism on the right.

Sanger sequencing is basically done by looking at electrophoresis bands on a computer
>>1019860
the video remind of the cursed one in the movie
>>1019861
That webm isn't showing Sanger sequencing anyway since a bunch of bands seem to be the same size. And... sort of? I guess basically, yeah, but it's done with those funky glass capillaries now, so not exactly.
>>1019787
Ayyy, I know this one. That's an AC to DC rectifier - it 'converts' the alternating current you get from the wall into direct current usable by computers, cell phones, etc. That basic construct is in just about every electronic device you own that plugs into a wall, except things like fans and lightbulbs.

one depends on the other and both are unique and allow to identify you.
you probably didn't think this much but people jumping on you for this are kind of assholes too
>>1023611
Almost certainly, but it's a moot point. Just like anything made "with carbon nanotubes!!11!", it's totally experimental and, while certainly interesting, not at all practical yet. It will take years, probably decades for graphene to have any kind of market presence in the real world.
That said, research like this is absolutely fundamental to the advancement (and longevity) of our species.

>both are unique
>Without DNA there would be no fingerprints.
All of these statements are true for literally your entire body if you zoom in close enough. We could use iris, tongue, butthole or elbow skin wrinkles scans for identification as all of these things are unique for you specifically as well. Fingerprints don't depend on DNA any more than anything else.
>>1023964
I still have to hear about the unique elbow skin patterns that are used to identify you.
>>1023964
>Fingerprints don't depend on DNA any more than anything else.
So you are saying fingerprints are just as dependent on DNA as any other human feature?

This is probably how people hear me talk about how Wi-Fi works, and why Comcast (or any ISP for that matter), despite advertisements of having "The Fastest In-Home Wi-Fi", can't actually guarantee Wi-Fi coverage and performance.
Moral of the story: This sounds like it was taken from an episode of Star Trek. Also, Wi-Fi is shit and you should only use it if you don't have another option, that is if you value performance and reliability of your network.

>>1033766
Actually fairly little engineering work, but I'm starting my own company rather than working as an engineer for someone else.
For a "typical" electrical engineer it's office work: you're sitting at a desk for most of the day, either designing electronic components (could be power supplies, could be processors), programming, or validating your designs in simulation, prototypes, etc. If you saw an engineer at work, generally speaking, he'd be indistinguishable from an accountant or a lawyer.
That said, engineering, even just electrical engineering, is extremely broad. I know a couple of guys in the power industry at utility companies. Their day-to-day work is driving around town, inspecting substations, running tests, and generally making sure that when you flick the light switch, it actually turns on.
Are you thinking about becoming an engineer?

An air bubble in the fuel was detected. Their fuel was being super cooled and due to the fucking boat in the launch zone, the fuel started to warm up. By the time they got around to the second launch countdown a bubble had formed. So, they scrubbed the mission completely.
Thankfully, nothing went wrong with the next launch and it landed perfectly on the drone ship at sea.
>>1027278
Yes and no, while the radiation does hit any item second (after the light burst) the heat-wave which on average hits several seconds ahead of the shockwave is what's causing the burning. Seeing as the heatwave is radiated outwards from the blast some name it too as a form of radiation. The nuclear (read radioactive) radiation does not burn through metal, depending on what form of metal it may or may not pass straight through however.
>>1012746
>>1013031
This is jupiter's job
>>1034401
Yeah , I meant heat radiation before the shockwave hits. The radioactive stuff is later. The first burst of energy is what caused people to leave a shadow on the ground/side of building before getting vaporized iirc.

Selling your services to the government as a private business is different from just straight up getting tax money given to you.
Why do you not have any issues with the thousands of other businesses that not only sell goods/services to the government, but also overcharge and/or directly receive tax money from massive subsidies?
It's only spacex that comes under the crosshairs and it mystifies me that so many americans on 4chan so vocally hate one of their most successful high-technology companies for wildly inaccurate and untruthful reasons.
I could understand hating spacex if you were, for example, a russian or chinese. But to falsely complain about spacex receiving tax money, while you'll simultaneously cry about NASA not getting enough, or demand congress funnel more money into pork-barrel projects like the SLS; I'm just fucking mystified by it. It'd make more sense if someone were literally paying people to post these sorts of attacks because the sheer willful ignorance for it to be genuine strikes me as extremely unlikely.
>>1042348

I get how much time and money it'd save to have booster rockets that can land themselves safely for reuse, but the thing I've wondered since day one is how much extra fuel do they need to carry in order to land themselves? All of that controlled burn for the landing must use a load of fuel. How much extra weight does the main booster then have to carry? How inefficient are they compared to normal boosters?
