what is consciousness?

>>16148142
a phenomenon based on a particular (and complex) electric activity. no it doesn't happen in rocks or power grids or computer networks.

>>16148152
how do you know?
why not?

>>16148160
>how do you know?
by subtraction. you remove bits from said electric activity and functions start going away. study neurology? and AI?
>why not?
this is going to immature child territory
>what if dragons are real?
sure buddy
just because you can go there doesn't mean you should, you make an ass of yourself, it's cheap and retarded and seems desperate for some bottom of the barrel win just because you can go there.

hey is this a The big bang theory reference?!

for me, it's money

They're bald so they have to compensate by being scifi smart

this is the truth everybody knows this

>>16148075
Tooker is batshit crazy.

If you define human as "Homo sapiens", then yes. Homo sapiens interbred with other species of humans such as Neanderthals and Denisovans

>>16147992
Yeah, they're called black "people"

I just want a human/chimp kid, is that so bad?

>>16148083
good luck getting a human gf

>>16148090
its ok the chimps will do

>>16147996
why do you smell like shit after not showering for 24 hours?
fix your diet

>>16147971
depends on activity. if chilling at home easy mode daily doesn't make sense.
if you slaving on plantation you better take a shower you smelly fuck.
also take a shower before sex no matter what.

>>16148069
stinky post

This.

Sweat, masturbation, touching hair etc.

Incorrect. It reduces the risk of prostate cancer.

That's the legend himself Charles Proteus Steinmetz.
Look upon him in awe he took tesla's intuited knowledge about electricity and made it something mortals could comprehend.

>>16147925
yes but how TF did Tesla intuit that shit? He invented it from nothing.

what a goddamn chad. Peter Dinklage (our gens midg chad) needs to play him in a biopic.

This board doesn’t exist to provide ammunition for your braindead arguments. Fuck off, stop making these threads, and maybe go try look it up yourself

Did not see that coming.

What? There is absolutely no way that Columbia University is "completely free of Jews"...

Why is this thread on /sci/?

Sage

>>16147893
I don’t know why this is the subject de jure here. I guess because your fat uncle Albert saw a graph on his Facebook feed.

>>16147882
It devolves into "you can't prove anything exists" as every philosophical discussion does.

>>16147900

Fuck off.

religions are eugenic vehicles those that embody the ideals of the religion tend to reproduce more
first you must identify the religion and its ideals

>>16147838
>I'm evolutionary terms what's happening to the species?
Brown religious low-IQ conservatives do all the breeding, so that's what's in future for humanity.

>>16147871

OP posted something sensible but people who replied were tardy and gout. I give up with sci - gonna leave this board today.

Do they become liberal because they are mentally ill or does being liberal requires you to develop mental illness to stay liberal despite reality creeping in?

>>16148050
Look why do you just tell us your preferred answer to your hypothetical so we can cut to the chase and bypass your railroading.

>>16148151
Every. Single. Time.

Remember, it's just a couple of undergrads in a few departments at a small number of schools doing this. It's nothing to worry about. Just stop paying attention to them and you'll have nothing to worry about.

All we can really say is that at some point the universe was a lot smaller. The evidence for this is the CMB, age and types of distant stars, and the fact that the temperature of space throughout the universe is basically the same, because distant points in space are currently too far apart for temperature to be in equilibrium unless at some point they were closer to one another

>>16147615
so there is no evidence that the universe has a beginning at all?

>>16147853
No. Just that it was smaller. And because of the current state of the universe and the way expansion is assumed to work then the universe likely expanded from a very small space, possibly smaller than a single atom. That helps explaining why stuff is so uniform over the whole observable universe, extremely rapid expansion from an extremely small size. That's the big bang theory of course, but it doesn't say where the universe came from, only that at some point about 13 billion years ago it was a tiny ball of pretty much just energy, it was too dense and too hot to form atoms etc. So that ball of energy either appeared out of nowhere, or it was there forever, or it was the end state of a possible previous universe, or some other unknown reason.

>>16147523
one model is that it's pulsing, and could have been for insanely many cycles. supposedly there could be some leakage from previous one, in CMB. but it becomes a question of how much anyway, so we won't be able to peer back 5 cycles ago at some Earth-like planet or something.
or could be like a full reset for everything including causality, right after completely collapsing and right before starting expanding again.

>>16147523
Good question. Led me down a small rabbit hole.
As >>16148020 said, our direct measurements are that the universe was smaller and hotter before, which our models then turn into a timeframe.
But we do also have entropic measurements of the CMB; roughly ~10^89 Kb. It's likely too difficult to create an entropic evolution model into a timeframe, but it should be able to give a maximum constraint. This is where the lack of large primordial black holes plays a big role. As the universe ages, more and more of it will be in large entropy gravity wells. This is a constraint against infinity for our universe.
However, this doesn't necessarily rule out that there was universes before ours, before our cosmic inflation, that kept entropy the same but reduced its density, before our big bang, that returned gravity and black holes to the universe. And there may well be echoes of the prior universe! https://www.livescience.com/63392-black-holes-from-past-universes.html

Agreed. OPs dad is a sandnigger, and his mom also cheated with many sandniggers

>>16147403
sandniggers mogged your homeland roman empire 2k years ago so you should be happy you are born a sandnigger.

Having facebook like button on your website opens it to crossite scripting attack from facebook.

Facebook can literally rewrite your whole page if you use their like button on your web.

>>16147490
Interesting perspective, care to elaborate on how that applies to the OP post?

>>16147376
There was footage right after the attack, it happened in the back, and nobody would have a reson to shoot the area at the moment.
