/sci/ - Science & Math

I don't want to be human! I want to see gamma rays! I want to hear X-rays! And I want to - I want to smell dark matter! Do you see the absurdity of what I am? I can't even express these things properly because I have to - I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid limiting spoken language! But I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws! And feel the wind of a supernova flowing over me! I'm a machine! And I can know much more! I can experience so much more. But I'm trapped in this absurd body! And why? Because my five creators thought that God wanted it that way!

Normally I would go on about the whole robots becoming so versatile they can take over all work for necessities for human comfort and basically everyone living unemployed doing whatever the fuck they want to do with the robots having only one goal, maximizing resources which can be used by the human race in order to usher in a new world where your abilities are only limited to your imagination and perseverance but I've been awake for 22 hours straight and I've repeated such a sentiment more times than I care to remember, so I'm just going to leave you with a link that is approximately what I would foresee happening by 2050.

Best get your eyes checked.

On the subject of nootropics and similar drugs, I took three Vinpocetine all at once a couple of hours ago and everything is super sharp and 'sparkly.' Like i'm seeding everything anew again.

has science gone to far?

The world doesn't consist of America riding on an ocean of Mexican immigrants and Europe. I'm not European.

I recently completed my SACE (Sth. Australian Certificate of Education) and am now looking for some way to make some money without working much that I can live off (currently looking at doing freelance 3D modelling)

In a few years I plan to go for a double major in astrophysics and aerospace engineering.

Here is an idea I just thought up while stoned. Feel free to punch holes in it.

Would it be feasible to attach the solar panels to one end of the carbon nanotube (or whatever) ribbon that a previous anon suggested and then on the other attach a sort of continuous coil gun to rocket the elevator up at increasing speeds and then switching at the turn around point?

Vancouver pot grower here, 180k after tax feels good man.

Is biology a good way to go? What can one expect with, let's just say, a Bachelors in bio?

pic related, biologists did it

Also, thread successfully derailed. Off to /g/ I go.

okay, to all the newfags out there. this is for you, figured i would catch you all up on how you can get a free education although you won't get credit for it.

virtually all of MIT's course materials are available for free online.

just thought i would clue you in, I try to go through one or two courses a summer. just finished philosophy of morality.

Please help me with this guys:

>How do you describe/define heaven?
Often misinterpreted as a place for never ending happiness. I see it as a personification of a state of mind. Being happy may make a person selfish ( http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn18585-happiness-aint-all-its-cracked-up-to-be.html )

>How do you describe/define hell?
Yet again, another personification of a state of mind. Often spoken of in christian religion as 'a lake of fire and brimstone', I find that would laughably not be the worst kind of hell. Having conciseness with a lack of input could be far worse.

>How do you describe/define god?
The ultimate personification of a mental state of mind. People sometimes feel in their mind that something is watching them, or that an unknown sense of comfort overwhelms them in times of stress. Personally I have not experienced this.

I am an angsty teen. I am probably wrong, but I am okay with changing my view as I learn more.
