This is pretty ironic.
Pure hydrogen is flammable as fuck.
Pure oxygen is flammable as fuck.
Put 'em together and you can put out a fire.

Go back and live in a cave if you're scared of technology.

so natural means rock hard kernels of corn, tiny sour apples, and non-genetically similar bananas?
we stopped being "natural" 5000 years ago.

I think we must fear science.
The only way we could possibly fight global warming is by shunning all technology.
Change is bad.
This gas is just us playing God.

What are you going to be when you grow up?
aka what are you going to specialize and why

also what do you think of radiologists and oncologists.

Science fiction is fine.
People who think science fiction will be real are morons though.

>Others say the expansion of the universe will cease and the universe will collapse in on itself. Perhaps we'll do it ourselves while attempting to create the latest and greatest weapons with the fringes of physics

Haha! Yes, humans sure do pose a threat... *to the universe!* No. No, no, no, we don't. Not now. Not ever. We are nothing to the universe. We are nothing even to the *galaxy* that itself is nothing to the universe. To imagine ourselves as a threat to *it. all.* is ludicrous.

In 3 hours I'm taking my midterm for vector calculus, and I was wondering if anyone had any tips/last minute studying advice. I'm pretty solid with my calculus bits, definitions, I can bust out proofs alright. I'm a bit weak on my vector and scalar projection though.

Anyway, here's this picture in exchange for some advice and junk.

>It's really fucking INHUMAN

Remember that time we thought neutrinos moved faster than light?

Because then YOU AM PLAY GODS

Why are the laws of physics what they are and not completely different? What tiny variables at the start of everything would have affected the development in the delicious physics?
