seems like python will have to do. Is there anything I need to install in order to begin or should I begin the tutorial on codeacademy?

yo bros, I just did the first exercise over HTML at codeacademy.com. Am I a fucking scrub, or is this website actually useful?

This is not an identity

and how (x+2)(x-1)=x^2+x-2?

Do you understand how x(a+b) = ax+ab?

I think you'll find there are actually coded messages from God on the "Post ending in XX decides what I fap to" threads.

I am the smartest person on 4chan, and mostly post on /b/, also on /sp/ when a sporting event I care about is running. I come to /sci/ mostly to troll the stupids, usually with Popperian trolling.

>>5950289
look, i'm not even going to begin with this.
i think this is going to be MY last visit to /sci/
this board has been a pseudointellectual failure.

>>5950285
Why don't you approach this scientifically and less speculatively?

hypothesise an assumption or leave the board faggot

How many decisions can you make?

The last three lines I typed in >>5939591

>>5938596

Yeah, I watch the sixtysymbols videos, they are good, but I still have many uncertainties about how electrons and photons work, because it isn't explained in great enough depth.

Also, what's the difference between a white object and a transparent object, if neither absorb photons?

>>5938573

Yes.

>>5938410

Nah, I want to know at what point a photon can stop representing matter with colour.

I guess if we were tiny, able to see down to a quantum level and could see the whole spectrum, we wouldn't see the electron being represented at all when our eyes receive the photon, but just see the colour, filling our vision.

>>5938368

So if you had a perfectly black object, you wouldn't be able to shine any colours on it and see it? How does that work? If all the electrons are already excited, do the new photons just pass through it?

Also, >>5938343 I'd still like to hear thoughts about that.

Also, how do mirror reflect? Why does angle of incidence equal angle of reflection?

number of drops = drop per second from above X total time X cosx + drops from the side per metre X metres travelled X sinx

>>5938365

Unless that's because all the electrons are already excited, in which case, why doesn't shining white light on it turn it white?

Also, another question, if you shine light onto a black object, like a red laser, you will see that red colour against the blackness. What's going on there? Black objects are supposed to absorb all light.

>>5938305

Right, but that's just to do with our biology, isn't it? The mantis shrimp can see 16 primary colours.
I want to know the actual physical limit.

So let's say an object is green when white light is shone on it. This means it reflects green light, but it does that by absorbing it first, and then reflecting it via random drop in energy level? Doesn't this mean that for every object, there is a split second that it is black, since it has absorbed all wavelengths?

>>5938186

Oh yeah, well I knew that.

>>5938161

I'm told they drop energy levels and thereby emit a photon. I've been told that in lots of places. Why is that wrong?
