/sci/ - Science & Math

Hop on Monday?

So what is Jim's next move?
He probably has the highest approval rate with Democrats than any other Republican.
Will he go back into politics and run for Senator in Texas or Oklahoma?
Or will he pick up a cushy job working for Elon or someone else in the Aerospace Industry and rake in the cash?
So many possibilities...

Redpill me on the header tanks in Starship.
What are they for?

There is probably a team of Chinese engineers looking at this picture trying to figure out how it works.

why is there a 1200t crane if stacked mk1 is 1400t

Please provide more details... For science...

Can someone explain the -1/12 meme to a non mathematician?

Why there's 5000 patents that are forbidden and their inventors put in jail under security reasons?

Alright /sci/ I want to prove to you that psychic interaction is possible "once and for all." There are two problems with this.

1. If I can't do it reliably, it can't be called science.
2. Proving that it's one thing and not just clever manipulation or some other type of engineered "coincidence" requires a strong mind and proper wielding of Occam's razor.

The beliefs on /x/ have shifted over the past few years to the point where, while magic and occult things are still looked down on, people are ready to admit the belief. Because of this, as some theorize, the world is thus more "open" to magic, as if some kind of anti-magic "veil" has been lifted.

Now, personally, I've never been a strong believer in the veil hypothesis, but it holds are much water as any other magic-based hypothesis. That is to say, not much water at all. I could as well have made this thread years ago, but if it was a topic that wasn't going to stay up on /x/ as well, there'd be no point. I don't want to be the lone "prophet" traveling the world to prove supernatural things to people. Proving it to everyone individually takes way too much time and simply is not feasible in the modern era. If I can prove psychic interaction to you, my reasoning is that /x/ will begin to have the proof it needs to start practicing magic. I'm not asking any of you to take up the mantle, just to witness and analyze my ability in the case that I can demonstrate it reliably. As I hope is obvious, "once and for all" reasoning doesn't work here. In order to do this reliably, I need to be able to do it more or less whenever it's needed. Once for some and once more for proper measurement/analysis.

So I guess to start this off my first question would be, "What can you see happen on /sci/ that you wouldn't dismiss as organized mass roleplaying?"

Can we agree on this:

Astrology: empirical knowledge gathered through generations about empirical observations on patterns people that was born in a date share, obviously using heavy cognitive bias.

Magic: Auto hypnosis and heavy cognitive bias that uses the placebo effect to produce medical miracles.

God: Imaginary being that a society or group of people tend to use for certain benefits, it's powers are derived of cognitive bias and my previous definition of magic, obviusly following social patterns and mob rule, also God's visions and profets are basically mentally ill people, mostly schizos. Basically humans create God and make it real through belief, like a tulpa.

Numerology: Empirical evidence gathered through generations on number coincidences and fueled by cognitive bias.

Anything else you want me to try to explain?

What could be the benefits of modifying humans to do photosynthesis?

Would it reduce or consumption of traditional food? Prolong our lives?

What cool shit can I do if I study electric engineering?

can I do a minor with material design courses?

Let's have a youtube thread.
Let's share cool science youtube videos, be documentaries or amateur experiments or engineering stuff.

pls no pseudoscience garbage.

Biochem, anal chem, physics and biological psychology

So without breaking the very laws of physics, or embarking on multi generation journeys of hundreds or even many thousands of years, humanity will never leave the solar system right?

/k/ommando here, we just had a space war thread, apologies for my potential ignorance.
