Hey /sci/, can you explain this?

ITT: Mass

It's always stationary.

>modes
Then the light isnt bending, assuming that the mass is meeting it on a a photon to photon basis, that the compilement of photonic (*) is meeting the cable's 'informational' force, or as to say that the WMF is kind of wanting to grab them more and more while not actually acting as mass, and it's nucleus state is maintaining what looks like a, well what would be explosive context, but the constant WMF entanglement with the light in the vacuum (*ITT Photonic Mushroom Tetration) is... well I'm not actually sure how that recompiles, it has more to do with a molecular self contradiction in... fuck it's like the elementary particles between Nuetrons & Protons are in bed with the electrons while still keeping the peace with the nucleus... it has to do with how the electrons are able to exist in the weakmagF

... owait how fast does light travel through it... lolmissreadidfkmang

Do American students constantly need to painstakingly convert between your bizarre-ass units and the scientific ones? Like Fahrenheit/Kelvin. Because that'd explain part of why your school grades can't compare to my own country's average. After all, we're all used to meters and the like here, which gives us a advantage in not being as bored at school institutions when learning physics.

below zero kelvin
force becomes inverse

What do you guys think of genetic engineering?
We're seeing a lot more geneticly altered crops, is it ok to create these new species? And what about geneticly modifying humans?
Lets hear some pro's/contra's

Sup /sci/entists student here wondering how you guys stay sane doing your labs, going to uni next year so the help would be appreciated.
pic related its what i thought science was when I was 8.

Man, how can people be so stupid?

See my recent replies here:

I'm replying to murk. Here's some tasty tidbits from murk:
>Dude i’m all for science – real science as you are >it helps people – like you say MRI / antibiotics / gas furnaces

>you misunderstand evidence
>it never can be a trump card
>because your worldview is determined by your worldview
>and your worldview determines what is allowed as evidence
>and how it is interpreted

How can people be that stupid? How can we fix this? Better education and critical thinking in schools? What about those older than 10? Is it too late?

Hello, /sci/

/lit/ here. I'm writing a short story for one of my classes. it involves a researcher trying to get to the bottom of a mysterious new disease. Ultimately the pathogen itself is irrelevant to the story, but a virus is ruled out. There is, however, a pathogen that the researcher talks about, but I can't remember the actual name of it. It's much more simple than a virus, essentially just a free floating strand of RNA. It's very similar to a plasmid, but I know that's not the name of it. I also remember that they usually cause diseases in plants as opposed to animals or humans. can any of you guys help me out?

If you have two apples, then you have more than no apples.

>Implying

What? Did someone delete the thread on wind, solar, nuclear, LFTR? Just when we were getting somewhere? I was hoping that guy would admit that I was right when I said that even if solar panels were free it'd still be too expensive to use.

"pop scientist"

Someone who can inspire the average man into some of the deepest sciences of our time, indeed, is a great man.

In the footsteps of Carl Sagan...

So until there is a way to be able to reconstruct the atomized forms of carbon and its properties, then this Idea would have to wait on R&D? -_-

science... Stumped once more, except in Layman's terms. 1.Portals- don't question. act.

In this thread, for my own amusement, I want to do what Lawrence Krauss claims to do, specifically to make a list of all of the reasons why young Earth creationists are wrong. I'll start.

Anyone else got any good stuff?

I would try it now but it's fn cloudy like always

Well shit, lol. I guess that answers that. Genuinely because I was curious, I went to
http://www.evolutionfairytale.com
to see if I could calmly and civilly talk some sense into these people. I assume I was just perma-banned while doing so. They're unfortunately rude enough to not even set a ban message when they ban you.

It was fun. One of the admins started up a thread saying "omg omg, this species of bacteria can change its environment to suit its needs, this is totally against evolution which says the species which best adapts is favored".

I attempted to calmly and clear point out his fundamental misunderstanding of evolution. He had none of it, accused me of evo-babble, and the next thing I knew I was banned.

Yep.

Well at least I have a better idea of how these people think and act, which was actually my main goal in doing this exercise.

WHY YES, THIS IS THE OFFICIAL PHYLOGENY THREAD.

Photosynthetic autotrophs probably evolved from iron- or sulfur-eating autotrophs.

biochemistry, along with a load of programming on the side. because python is fun and will get me a job.

Gases are more soluble in hot liquids than in cold liquids. When you run the tap, the aerator screen introduces some air into the water. Now, if the water is cold, much of that air will dissolve into the water. If the water is hot, however, more air will remain as bubbles, making the water cloudy.

Foundation years for those with A levels in Humanities - yay or nay?

Should a young person have the chance to drop law and business and take on the noble Sciences?
