I'd actually be very interested to see the tastes of someone who pulls a reverse beethoven (born deaf, gains back hearing), because they would have not have gained the cultural imprinting of emotion to musical tropes. Would they still attach emotion to it, or would they just simply not understand it until they gradually picked it up?

I'm doing a project, and I need a program to measure the ratio of some HEWL crystals... They are made from lysozyme and all I have are pictures from a microscope. Does anyone know a such program?

hello /sci/ have any of you heard of la tortuga scientifigo? It is a video that only a few people have seen of a alien that has a turtle back and looks scared? I would like more information on this if you have any pictures of it that would be amazing and if you have the video that would be spectacular! Thanks /sci/!

more shit like this

What IQ do you think AI would have?

Fuck off with your metaphysics. Go back to counting angels.

“As I see it, the social fairness showed to Trayvon Martin was very sadly lacking,” said William Lowell Putnam III a trustee at Lowell Observatory, “Inasmuch as I am the sole trustee of an institution which has some naming privileges, I want to do my share to see that this lad is remembered in an appropriate manner.”

Following George Zimmerman’s murder indictment, Putnam had astronomer Edward Bowell, a near-Earth asteroid and comet expert, submit the suggested name.

The citation for asteroid 2000 TM61 reads:

“Named in memory of Trayvon Martin (1995-2012), a student at Dr. Michael M. Krop High School in Miami, Florida. Unarmed, he was fatally shot in Sanford, Florida, during an altercation with the neighborhood watch coordinator.”

Something more subtle maybe ?

I just want to get someone unconscious, but without hurting them.

If I want to make someone unconscious for a couple of minutes, what would the best way be ?

I though about blocking the blood going in/out of the brain, but it would take several seconds to have an effect.

Surely there is a nerve somewhere that souldn't under any circunstances be pressed too hard ?

The fucking sticky, you retarded fuck.

Is it possible to have science without Professors?

why is sci becoming more "pol"?

>I HAVE FIGURED OUT THE SECRET TO GETTING KIDS INTERESTED IN SCIENCE!

Behold!!!

this:
>Mass–energy equivalence is a consequence of special relativity. The energy and momentum, which are separate in Newtonian mechanics, form a four-vector in relativity, and this relates the time component (the energy) to the space components (the momentum) in a nontrivial way.

vs this:
>Mass–energy shit is a consequence of fucking relativity. The fucking energy and momentum, which are separate like bitches in Newtonian mechanics, form a four-vector anus in relativity, and this shit relates the time component (the energy shit) to the space components (the momentum shit) in a nontrivial fucking way.

Not to mention that most of the the number crunching is done by computers these days.

All scientists overgeneralize when they speak to the public. They don't have the frame of reference to understand what scientists would have to say if they didn't simplify things.

These qualia do not exist in a vacuum. In order to understand what caused these emotions to come about, scientists study things like human evolution, neuroscience, biology, sociology, primatology, etc.

Just because a thing cannot be directly measured does not mean it's origins and impact are a mystery.

Please learn to argue your position like an educated adult so you others can actually make sense of what you're saying.

So why are you not taking all that fiat money out of your pocket and burning it? Our whole economy is built on a human consensus on what the value of money should be, not on what objective use these slips of paper have. If all that mattered were what is objective, then we would trade in canned beans and goats.

No, not being measurable does not automatically mean something does not exist. It just gets bumped down into the realm of subjectivity. Qualia, as far as I know, are the most basic aspects of our subjective perceptions.

Of course, that's why researchers still have jobs.
