I can't really hear anyone over the uncited and seemingly made-up statistics ITT

also the reason psychology is a soft science

math retards are too autistic and stupid to understand or model anything more complex than bullshit like newtonian mechanics

the rest of their energy is spent mentally masturbating over proving basic calculus theorems 14 different ways, and physically masturbating over and cumming on mlp figurines from mcdonalds

Hello /sci/, I'm an idiot in an argument with what I believe is a bigger idiot

He says that the law of conserved energy means that ghosts are real. I don't know what the actual fuck hes talking about but it sounds like bs to me.

Or is he right?

they aren't "valod" when the teacher sucks and the problem base too small and too easy

Is there a good book on this topic geared more towards application than theory?

Like non-standard analysis for physicists or engineers.

Where does /sci/ go to pirate textbooks?

Is such a thing even possible?

OP is an alien looking for tips, don't help him!

So /sci/, I just watched an episode of Ancient Aliens.

It was the funniest thing I'd ever watched. Giorgio Tsoukalos especially.

Not necessarily. It could be just as different as it could be similar. Heck, it could be more advanced than us in many ways, but still far behind in many more. This assumption that an alien civilization contacting humankind would be much more sophisticated than what we are now is not quite accurate because they could be exactly as we are now, a bit further behind but luckier in their enterprise to find alien life, or not that much further along. It would be quite funny to be found by a society of equal or mildly inferior technological standing. I think the fear borne out of such a finding would stem primarily from the religious folk of Earth as religion has yet to truly embrace the endless possibilities and plausible forms of life elsewhere. Those open-minded, educated, and curious would likely embrace the notion quite at the ready for it would only serve to propel our own civilization forward.

I would go into a rant about how retarded you are with regards to your post there, but I have better things to do like laugh at it instead of responding to it beyond this point. I'd advise you to re-read your post. Maybe than you will realize your mistake.

I asked myself the same question when I was first introduced to the concept.

>>4200142

Exactly, and hence why perception is so important! Appearances can be deceiving. Considering how the Sun, our local star, has such a high output of light, magnetic energy, and gravitational pull on our planet, these may somehow influence everything also outside of our own local star system causing a temporal which in turn affects our perception. Maybe, just maybe, the universe as we perceive it is just an approximation of what it really is as an interpretation of our minds in a way so that we can comprehend the information that we are gathering. Consider for a moment a still water source. Undisturbed, its surface will reflect light creating a mirror effect. Now, throw in a big enough object to disturb the water and suddenly that perfectly mirror image is broken and distorted. The light source is still there. The reflective properties of the water are also still there. Yet, because of the motion of the water provoked by the impact, the image is all messed up. Now blow this out of proportion and think about it on a universal scale. Get the big picture? Crazy stuff!

>P.S. Yes, I did think about all of this while peeing and observing the reflection of my bathroom's light on the toilet's still water.

So what if this guy is right and the pyramids WERE build using alien technology?

I mean it's not like we have any proof that would refute his theory.

So aliens?
