Word. That is beyond awesome. Great, vivid descriptions too. I will watch link when not on phone.
I have tripped many (15+) times in my life but never had the balls for DMT. The time dilation sounds cool but losing control like that sounds like it would be freaky to me. I will definitely try it when the time is right though, the tea sounds more like my cup of tea than other 2 methods lol.

1) getting a hot chill gf who will make fapping and posting on 4chan pointless
2) making money and appearing successful/fulfilled to get said pussy
3) money and benefits not a factor to me and I 100% take it for granted

My life is 50% a front for other people to see me as I would like to be viewed and 50% doing shit that genuinely makes me fulfilled and happy

My motivators at least...

>>4850825

DMT same thing pretty much right?

You have tried? Please describe if yes. Were you in space? Did you see unfamilar lifeforms? I hear a lot of unrelated people have the same experience more or less.

Both UV and IR are EMR.

I should have phrased the last step of heat transfer better. Ground emits IR, molecules in atmosphere absorb this way more efficiently than UV ==> heat from the increase of motion of molecules.

My possible reasoning is unrelated to the temperature of the water sample, thus a rival cause for the supposed outcome suggested by OP.

Go freeze some hot vs. cold water and then reply, post results.

No physical reason this should be true.

Different chemical composition of hot water (after sitting in hot water heater) perhaps?

Heat travels through space as radiation.

Earth? Radiation, conduction, convection

>>4850432

Shortwave radiation (UV) from sun that travels through atmosphere, some is absorbed by ground, ground heats up, emits long wave radiation (IR) and this is what we feel as sensible heat.

Temperature is indeed a measure of the kinetic energy of the molecules in the atmosphere around us.

Vostok ice core record (proxy for temperature is top plot) for past 400kyr.

Lol ty

Milankovitch Cycles: Percession, Obliquity and Eccentricity. Sometimes the aphelion is during the winter (burr), this is driven by the eccentricity of the earth's orbit around the sun on about a 100kyr period. Definitely the most important natural forcing for ice ages (also happen ~100kyr).

LOLOLOLOLOL

I also love how everyone is bitching about climate change and global warming because of a heat wave and a relatively small wildfires. It's fucking summer, fags.

I used to have this same problem in high school and undergrad. You really do forget so much during the summer, but every time you do that, it comes back quicker and quicker next time you pick it up.

Then...I became a researcher and I only have to remember the things I use. What level of math are we talking here?

Picking up a textbook and starting off at the first chapter you feel like you aren't 100% comfortable with would be a good start. Make sure it's a problem you have the answer to so you can check your work.

PopSci is great for people who are interested in science but don't have much of a background in STEM.

I admittedly read their Facebook posts sometimes, yes I liked their page. Someone has to explain our discoveries to the masses, props to them for tackling that task.

/hw/

Scientists who really understand their field at a higher level can explain it to an educated person of any background in a way they can understand and appreciate. Yes, this truly is one of the hardest responsibilities of a scientist, but also one of the most important.

This. Nicely done.

Noting of course, the Pythagorean identity for sines and cosines. sin²x+cos²x=1

Basically any trig simplification question uses some sort of trig identity.

tl;dr Study the hell out of trig identities

I didn't major in engineering, but I'm pretty sure engineering programs are just more competitive in general than math programs.

There are more highly qualified applicants and unless you have done something decent in addition to comm. college, it probably just doesn't set you apart from the average applicant enough.

Anytime man.

Peace and goodnight to /sci/ too, thanks for the warm welcome.

I deleted the question because I google searched it and found a wiki about all the famous tripfags of 4chan and how their shame is now immortalized.

Thanks for some info specific to /sci/ though.

NASA is always in need of materials scientists, and now is a great time to start looking into applying or building up your resume at least. Sounds like you have some experience (degree?) already though. With the current focus on the complete redesign of the space shuttle concept, I would say materials research is high priority at several NASA centers. Clearly I don't know many details though. I know there are microgravity labs for space materials research, which is sweet.


Almost time for this nasafag to take his "medicine" and goto bed...on vacation at our beach house in DE, just got here a couple hrs ago. FUCKYEAH.

NASA sucks.

jk use that link.

is a good starting point

What's the problem with it?

Someone told me I should do it for password security, what's the real reason for it?
