/sci/ - Science & Math

If you would remove one emotion from your brain, and boost one emotion to the max, what would they be ?

BWA HA HA, MY PLAN WORKED!

yes because they won't want to give up their precious US citizenship or the benefits they receive with taxes.

The real shit will start when these rich assholes start off-shoring their money to this "island" probably still using American currency while refusing to pay taxes.

You can't just "make up a country" there are diplomatic relations that you must have to get things like tax exemption. This is going to be a disaster one way or another and these fuckheads are going to act like martyrs the whole way.

Fuckola, you need a new one. Sagan is dead, he can't advocate science anymore.

You need a smooth talking, very likable spokesman because the stupid tart in Ops video is more likable and charming than stuffy and cold Dawkins.

Sagan speaking:
>"The universe is wonderful!"

Dawkins speaking:
>"For the love of fuck, just listen to the words that I am saying. Fossils. F.O.S.S.I.L.S."

>Fucking Fission, how does it work?!

Okay /sci/, explain this to me. I have been looking into nuclear fission because energy nuts say it's still relevant, only there are some facts I don't know how to reconcile. Please explain.
>The Uranium/Plutonium needed in a reactor requires a large amount of energy to refine.
>A small fraction of a precent of the energy from a fission reaction is captured and utilized to create electricity. The fission reaction makes heat that boils water to turn a turbine. (BTW way to go 18th century steampunk with nuclear technology).

My question is, isn't there an energy deficit from a fission nuclear power plant? My only guess on the viability of nuclear energy is due to the large nuclear material stockpile superpower nations have. All of the nuclear energy made seems to be just an excess of other energy required to refine the Uranium.

A lot of energy to refine Uranium (minus) the little relative energy from fission reaction with a steam turbine = more energy?

Am I wrong? Why?
