Given an infinite lifespan, would a single organism naturally evolve on its own? If its cells continued dividing as usual and its DNA randomly mutating, could it, in some stable way, eventually become a whole new organism with a different everything?

Who is the meme scientist you hate the most and what would the world be like if there none of them?

Prove me wrong. Pro-tip: you can't.

How can Neily boy even compete?

Was he a Meme scientist?

If so, was he as bad as NDT?

I love the chans

This guy then

How many of you, as kids, watched this nigger? If you hadn't have been taken in by his easy to understand and emotional descriptions of shit, would you have grown up with an interest in science? Would you have been educated now, if you hadn't been entertained when you were younger?

Tyson's target audience is not you, its the kids. Don't be such a faggot OP. If we had your way, we'd have no entertainers like these chaps and a lot less kids would grow up to be the next great thing in science.

What is /sci/'s opinion on astrobiology?

Who is your favorite scientist of all time and why?
Mine is Carl Sagan because he spread the beauty of science to the masses.

I wasn't being serious, but if there is intelligent life there, they won't be war faring species. The resources would be abundant, and I doubt they would be religious. Unless they know something we don't, those are the two major reasons we go to war as humans.

You have to wonder what a civilization's sky says about the progress it's made. We're they more inclined to wonder about their celestial objects in a darker sky or one filled with more stars and deep space objects? Would a darker sky lead to a more mysterious upbringing for a species which would then lead to pseudo-science and religion?

Smoking kills brain cells. No legitimate study has shown long-term brain damage from weed.

Most people who smoke weed are dumb, so it's probably not entirely due to the smoking.

Pic related was a smart pothead.

Interesting - would you please go into more detail about the experiment?

(one of the professors at the graduate school I'm starting at in the Fall does plasma/vacuum chamber work on microgravity flights so I'm very interested in hearing more)

Hey /sci/

I'm wondering how you guys feel about drug use as a means to provoke insights and advance intellectual pursuits. No, I'm not a pothead.

I was reading through this thread >>6550924 , more precisely the discussion of planck lengths and quantum shenanigans in the lower parts.
I'm not big on the math and have no real education, but i can somewhat understand big complex ideas and theories. So this is pretty much something I'm pulling out of my ass, but I want to atleast hear some slightly educated opinions on this badly explained, rambling mess I've made.

I got to thinking if it would be theoretically possible to, in some way, transfer the human mind either through simulation or quantum computing(if quantum consciousness is legit), down to the size where one planck length equals the size of our universe, and what effects this would have on time and if we by this way could be able to recreate entire universes and basically become everlasting gods in each our own universe and forever and ever continue to go deeper down like that.
Then i remembered the theory about our universe being a simulation, and that if this is the case, the universe above ours would most likely be a gravity less universe for gravity to be a thing in our universe and other things I don't fully understand.
Stay with me.
Would it not be possible, if this is the case, that we could do the same thing? I'm thinking, if we could take a quanta, quark or something along these lines and then suspend it in some kind of vacuum, and in some way hooked it up to a quantum computer able to take the human conscience and move it inside of it, so that the quanta/quark/whatever other thing you can use, became the size of the universe for the conscience moved into it, would it then be possible that this interaction makes a similar effect to the big bang within it, thus creating a new universe for this conscience to exist in?
And thus we have a never ending, infinite possibility to create universes at will, also proving that the theory of the multiverse is legit.

If I am just spewing unintelligible garbage, disregard this thread.
