/sci/ - Science & Math

Someone says this every time this chart comes up.
It doesn't bode well for it's accuracy.

Also
>/jp/ tacked on in a different weight font.

Polite sage because this chart causes shitstorms.

That last sentence tacked on there not out of spite, but out of my own personal experience. I have a hard time trusting people, but for different reasons. I don't see them as evil or manipulative; I simply have a hard time believing that they could legitimately like me as a person and aren't just 'putting up with' me (so antisocial vs avoidant personality disorders, if you look at it that way [and, no, I'm not self-diagnosing]).

>>3434801
Please.
You have no idea how the real world works. If you're so cynical of other people you should hope that you're a psychopath. Otherwise, you will go nowhere. Have fun never making any significant scientific progress because you can't play well with others. Eventually you have to learn to trust and work with other people, even the callous ones.

> non-human animals are people
What an opportune time for a typo!
Please read that as "non-human animals or people".

>>3434758
Go back to fucking high school, kid. Behavioral sciences, whether they're studying non-human animals are people, are legitimate. Yeah, with people you have to consider the fact that they may be lying if your asking them questions, but that's just part of understanding behavior. Lying is a behavior that's just as interesting to science as any other.

I think the most interesting and telling aspect of psychopathy is how afflicted individuals respond to emotion in others. When asked to identify the emotions displayed on a face, they often can't.

I know this is from Wikipedia, but I'm going to say it's OK in this case: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychopathy#Facial_affect_recognition

Also, >>3434661 is right about time stopping for you if you traveled at the speed of light (and your mass would become infinite, but, hey, we've already violated the laws of physics once, so why not twice?). It's best to say near the speed of light.

>>3434614
Oh fuck, here's a better one and an article to go with it:

Dude, ecology is full of stuff about how energy and matter flow through systems. You won't find as complex diagrams as what you have, but they exist in the form of food webs, other predator-prey models (see: community matrix), and network diagrams (like this monster: http://externalcollective.com/2010/02/network-theory-application-to-ecosystems/ )

The fact that karyotypic megaevolution works at all.
(google it; example: http://www.sciencemag.org/content/168/3937/1364.short )

The fact that sexed organisms are common despite the fact that it halves the genetic contribution of individuals to the next generation. It makes sense to maintain it as a trait, but it's origins aren't well understood which is weird for something so common.

(Not really paradoxes; animated .gif related)

I think this is what you're looking for. Also, don't trust /sci/ during the summer.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_death_of_the_universe

>>3369544
If approaching the speed of light dilates time, why don't you last longer in a fleshlight?

I didn't get to go because I'm taking summer classes and I have the GRE tomorrow.

YES:
Venetian Snares
Shitmat
Renard
Squarepusher
Goldfish
Anamanaguchi
...Some others that I can't think of right now.

Other side of the spectrum:
The Postal Service
Boards of Canada

... So, I guess I don't actually listen to that much electronic music, but I do love what I have and will glean suggestions from this thread.

/sci/ would apparently rather argue about autism and the extent of my knowledge of linguistics is limited to a fascination with relative linguistics (look it up; it's cool). I'll give you a bump, though. This is more /sci/ than half of the front page.

Delete this thread and don't bump the other.

Go. The fuck. To /x/.

I'm not hating on the topic, but it doesn't belong in /sci/.

They haven't cranked it to 14 TeV yet, have they?
I thought that was scheduled for 2012 sometime...

Anyway, I don't know much about the gravity wave detectors, Lisa and otherwise (I remember something about having to account for uncertainty in the precision of a mirror in one that was earth-based... I think...). Hopefully, a physicsfag will show up and set us straight.

Read what I linked 7 posts into this thread (Yes, it's TL;DR because it's complicated. It's still the best explanation associated with this thread):

I dunno, man, but I wouldn't worry about it.
If you google images 'hemorrhoid', you'll see some pink ones (and some much worse than what you're describing).
I'd talk to your doctor about it next time you see him, though. Treatment is out there (if it persists)

I enjoyed organic when I was taking it, but it's been three years since I've touched it.
I offer you nothing but my condolences and a bump.

It's not just astronomy, it's epic prose.
To put it in perspective, I'm an ecology guy and I still love the hell out of it.

>>2791563
This.
...WANT A PICTURE?!

I don't care. It let's me keep in touch with my far-away friends, so there's that to consider. Do you still see all the friends and social groups you care about IRL?

That said, Facebook is being a little bitch and needs to be able to output a FOAF file.
