What's this "nothing in a traditional sense" you're talking about?

I wouldn't even call this a troll, I'd call it a joke, it's just so obvious, it's like putting a massive sarcastic tone on your speech while rolling your eyes-- if it wasn't supposed to be that obvious, then definitely 1/10, but if it's for lol's, mission accomplished

so, what's a quasiparticle?

I think we have a valid claim on the moon for various reasons, and I'll go ahead say everything in orbit of Earth. I can see there being some question about Mars... I'm not sure what to say about it. The rest I think isn't ours that much yet. This is of course assuming this happens in the next week or month and not 20 or 50 years from now.

I think you pretty much have to be a racist of some kind. There might be some small overall difference but I don't think it's consistent or large, and definitely not consistent enough and large enough to be statistically significant. I'll believe it when I see it, when someone provides the numbers, and then I'll want to see it from several different sources.

wow I was right on time

"Instead of removing something from existence spontaneously, you are using massive amounts of energy to move a star that's fine where it is. Oh, this is still theoretical? I guess you can use that much energy if you want."

I wasn't trying to present a position, just a way to make digital input work in this situation. I do support the position of using that for whatever kind of notes you need, though. I don't know about you, but I can type a lot faster than I can write. Speaking of which, typing kind of makes shorthand pointless, but the part about subscripts and superscripts sounds like you mean chemical formulas and equations and things like that, but there are ways to deal with that-- IDK how widespread it is, but I remember making a lot of use of Shift and + for superscript and Shift and = for subscript when I was in 9th grade. Greek letters are very nearly just as easy, you can use shortcuts, you can memorize codepoints, you can change your font, you can type out the name of the letter and set it to auto-correct to the proper character....
"Personally I like to be able to see what I've written as I wright it."
Oh, I think I get it, the problem is that you can't type.

it's iconic, so a) that's all a lot of people know about it, visually, except maybe a rough idea of what Dr. Frankenstein's lab looked like and maybe picturing petri dishes here and there, and b) it conveys something (i.e., the general concept of science) quickly and with little chance of misunderstanding

I was thinking 6/10-ish for OP but I wasn't sure of the intention, then I saw Einstein on the picture, so 3.5/10, may or may not troll again

"Having your write it down by hand also helps you subconciously review the information, while typing does not."

it's called a keyboard, you can use one with a long cord or a wireless one and keep the computer and monitor out of harm's way
wrecking the corded one will set you back $10-12, *maybe* a little more, the wireless one more like $15-20-- steep compared to a notebook, but then spilling something on a keyboard won't destroy the stuff you typed, unless for some reason you're using a laptop

a real /sci/entist shouldn't ask something like that
if you mean the low quality, I doubt these will produce much useful data on the phenomenon/subculture/whatever but there should be something to be learned from it, or at least verified, and you never know

average (ACT), more so than I thought and more so than I should've allowed-- I let myself get bogged down instead of skipping to questions I could do better

I didn't notice that, I was going to type up a response with real thought behind it, but maybe you should try tomorrow or next week OP

no one knows-- there are theories but IMHO none of them make sense past dimension 7 or so

any more sources?

that doesn't say there's no time distortion or FTL travel, just a likely cause to go with the observed effect, which is neutrinos getting from A to B faster than light
>>4314640
true, I was even thinking about pointing that out, but what about because it offered them any benefit at all?

please see above, by which I mean, English is fun

no I mean the observers wouldn't perceive a time dilation, but the travelers would

I pick relativity and causality
also fewer posts now, and combining them, and saying things I'm going to do

not with that attitude

because that's just the closest one, 40 years is a long time, and we don't have working 0.1c propulsion yet

because that's not what it's about for them, they don't want to be stuck in one solar system or spend most of their life getting to another one
