/sci/ - Science & Math

Answer: Trap souls/spirits in a reality where the only way out is to understand the truth. Then disperse the truth across the land. Add scarcity and fear of the unknown
to the mix, with a dash of mortality and respawn amnesia.

28 years to Andromedia Galaxy....WOW.
I need to learn more physics.

You may experience this.. upon reading the article.

Hey /sci/, I need your help.

My mother-in-law is pretty dense and doesn't believe in evolution, nor that dinosaurs ever existed. Funny thing is that she isn't even religious.

What are some easy to understand arguments to convince her otherwise?

Every living organ of our body might be holding relatively high amounts of memory inside itself.

The universe is expanding. This is said to be accomplished through the stretching of space. How can you stretch a void?

All universes are static. Not a single atom moves in any of infinite amount of them. Time is just us traveling through parallel universes... think of a flipbook cartoon.

Blow my mind /sci/

Blow my mind with some scientific facts, theories, etc. that relate to everyday life /sci/. Like today, I was driving and thought that if I threw an object into the air while I was going 100mph on the highway, the object would be moving 100mph. What if that object hit something and would it be possible to set up a way for it to hit something.

Or I was thinking that summer vacation used to feel like it lasted forever when I was younger. Because back then, 1 year out of 8, was much bigger proportionately than 1 year out of 20. So every new second of your life is less significant than the one before it.

Ok guys, my mind is full of fuck.

The question is, is there acceleration with 0 velocity? Before you jump to conclusions, hear me out.

If you throw a ball in the air, it goes up and comes down and is constantly in some state of acceleration, even though at the very peak velocity was 0. So, this would suggest that acceleration is possible without velocity.

However, a=Δv/Δt, and if Δv=0, a = 0, correct?

Anyways, I have some physics assignment where I am to describe an object with positive displacement, zero velocity, and positive acceleration. My current answer is "not possible", where am I going wrong? Or, am I right? WTF

mfw when I realized that the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS) is pronounced Penis.

Alright science, give me an abstract idea that can't be conceivable in words.

Okay, /sci/, I really need your help on this one.
The Hardy-Weinberg principle. Easy enough concept to understand. Easy enough equilibrium equation.
p(squared) + pq + q(squared) = 1 (100%)

This equation, I can rattle off. The variables, I know what they stand for. But I have no idea how to manipulate the numbers to get the information I need.

For example, "A population has a gene with two alleles, A1 and A2. Tests show that 70% of the gametes produced in the population contain the A1 allele. If the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what proportion of the population carries both A1 and A2?"


tl;dr: How the hell do I figure this out?
