Are there more points in a square than there are on a line?
Consider the line to be one of the sides of the square.

Stand back. I'm taking the derivative .... of a derivative!

Recently I heard that we have at least 11 dimensions.

I know our 4 dimensions: 3 spatial dimensions + time.

Now what are the dimensions 5 to 11?

Is aether really disproved by Michelson and Morley?

What if the aether is moving with the earth?

Requirements for vertical farming to become a commercially viable service:
- Exceedingly cheap electricity
- Quick, preferably pre-fab buildings which can be erected cheaply. This will likely require automation and building techniques not yet available.

Notice that I responded to >>3968852 who was talking about the FUTURISTIC megacities not showing where food production would be, and I'm quite sure that the requirements listed above will be solved largely within 50 years.

New Australia, Mars

>I just dont feel like lower education is valuable at all. Its like day care for teenagers.
I know that feel bro, but think of what happens when there is no day care for the average teenager.

>I think they are really bad at providing education. It could be argued that education is a public good, or that, everyone should get the opportunity to go to school. I can agree to those statements but I dont think we need a public school system to do that.
How can you guarantee that private enterprise will supply primary and high school at extremely similar prices if not even lower per year than the money that people must pay in taxes for public schooling?

>Our university level education is excellent though. Some people talk about providing that to people for free like lower education. That is such a bad idea. That is going to fuck everything up if that happens. The quality of education will go down, and now people with actual capacity will just have to spend even more time in school to prove their worth.
I am so thankful to our Dear Leader Gillard that we have relatively cheap university where we only start paying a relatively small debt with little interest only after we start earning above $44,000 and a small fraction of it is taken to repay that debt. I really, really would not like a policy similar to America's implemented here.

Now I'm interested. What happened?

Which engineering fields require the most math? The least? The median?

Starting right now....

What would it take to build the perfect utopia on Earth that would be suitable for out future generations to live on?

hello /sci/. what do you guys think of environmentalists?

>If you add any kind of complication, automation starts to fail pretty fast.
For now.

Hey /sci/

Do you think mankind will be able to utilize fusion as a power source in the near future (<20 years)?
How do you think that the utilization of this power source would change how we do things?
What new technologies will develop from the utilization of this power?

I am just looking for opinions ... thinking about this fascinates me. I am under the assumption that fusion would allow for massive amounts of energy at dirt-cheap prices, no?

Fusion general?

Tell me, /sci/, when have you used the scientific method, in your school or work life?

It's not getting any funnier, y'know
Besides /new/ for me is like a cinema where you watch why the world burns. I get a sort of sick satisfaction from it.

All in good time.

I wish to know how to formulate this 'DMT.'

What if I told you this would be fully possible within the next hundred years?

I wish to kill off the Tea Party.

Oh but we will, by 2050.

2035. Sit tight.

The year will be 3452.
I know because I invented it.
