All families with six children in a city were surveyed. In 72 families, the exact order of births of boys (B) and girls (G) was G B G B B G.
What is your estimate of the number of families surveyed in which the exact order of births was B G B B B B?

Do you think that nanotech as envisioned by Feynman is physically possible? If yes, then is it practically feasible?

Stopped reading there.

I don’t like that they’re not calculating anything. I don’t like that they don’t check their ideas. I don’t like that for anything that disagrees with a n experiment, they cook up an explanation—a fix-up to say, “Well, it might be true.” For example, the theory requires ten dimensions. Well, maybe there’s a way of wrapping up six of the dimensions. Yes, that’s all possible mathematically, but why not seven? When they write their equation, the equation should decide how many of these things get wrapped up, not the desire to agree with experiment. In other words, there’s no reason whatsoever in superstring theory that it isn’t eight out of the ten dimensions that get wrapped up and that the result is only two dimensions, which would be completely in disagreement with experience. So the fact that it might disagree with experience is very tenuous, it doesn’t produce anything; it has to be excused most of the time. It doesn’t look right.

>mfw /sci/ constantly hype Feynman up but then forget he said this and continue to slate every non-science subject

""We must, incidentally, make it clear from the beginning that if a thing is not a science, it is not necessarily bad. For example, love is not a science. So, if something is said to not be a science, it does not mean that there is something wrong with it; it just means that it is not a science." - Richard Feynman"

Summarize quantum field theory to the best of your ability.

Religious fags,
would you prefer a world full of Richard Feynmans or one full of Westboro Baptist Church folk?

Remember, only one of those groups is going to heaven.
