/sci/ - Science & Math

Hey, /sci/

You guys may already know about this, but figured I'd post anyways:
http://www.khanacademy.org/

2,100+ well-done math/science instructional videos. Ranging from Pre-Algebra to advanced Calculus, to Organic Chemistry to Physics.

They also have math problems starting at basic Addition and going up to Calculus.

Free.

I rarely visit, so if you guys already know about this I apologize.

Party cat always related.

This is a very exciting time to be alive. Okay, sure we're not jetting around the galaxy in sci-fi ships or anything... but we're at the very beginning. We're going to be alive to see humanity make the transition from dipping its toes in the shallow end to taking the plunge into the deep.

Frankly we should do everything we can to convince the House to vote no on HR. 5781, and yes on S. 3729

I know there was a thread earlier in the week rallying people to call/write their representatives. Might not work but it sounds like something worth trying.

YES!! The House just adjourned without bringing up the bill! This buys a month before the bill is brought before the House to work on getting Congress to support a better space bill

First of all... Did /x/ and /b/ come onto /sci/ because I'm seeing a lot of content that should be there on here.

Second, I had a question about Communication. Animal and Human communication. You see all these people claiming they can speak with their animal, verbally, hold discussions, but I would like some real documentation. Sure house pets are much more intelligent than most people give them credit for, but is it possible for them to verbally communicate as people claim, or is it just an instance of audio mimicry, like parrots?

tl:dr
Talking house pets, real?
