I think it's not there. I tried searching for random book titles out of torrents, and it does return the torrent itself. Searching my book title returns nothing. Merci de t'assistance!

I don't know, I just think it's a funny picture.

What can we do about Greenhouse gases /pol/?

1) Phase Out Coal
Energy production is the top source of CO2 pollution, and of its many means Coal power stations are its dirtiest
Phasing out Coal and moving to Natural Gas - yes another fossil fuel but a highly efficient low emission source - and Nuclear Power would be able to readily replace it with little effect on the economy and industry. They are proven technologies and existing industries with working tech bases and capital, theres no need to wait for some pie in the sky magic bullet to come years too late we have them right now.
2) Public Transportation
The second biggest source is transportation, and in America where many cities and their suburbs and broader region have little or no public transit infrastructure this means all travel must be done by the individual in a car. This costs the taxpayer for roads, the consumer for the car, and society for the pollution.
A well rounded Public Transit System of commuter trains, streetcars, metros where appropriate - many places wouldn't need it at all or not much and would get along just fine with the first two modes - and regional/inter-urban train networks would provide people with an alternative to driving that is cheap, convenient, frequent, and fast.
3) Old Growth
Around the world Old Growth forests are being logged for paper, farmland, plantations. They capture and store enormous sums of CO2, cutting or worse burning them down releases this into the atmosphere further contributing to spiraling events
Protecting them, allowing them to grow back absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere

This is all pretty conservative. Natural Gas and Nuclear Power. Saving money. Not supporting archaic practices just because they employ people.

so what does /sci/ think?

Sure, anywhere is better than here.

Chemists, bondage enthusiasts, BnE artists and psychologists alike, I require input from knowledgeable individuals! Toxins, ties, tumblers, and what makes us tick are all areas of curiosity and vital components in my current literary work.

Good news everyone! The substructure of the universe regresses infinitely towards smaller and smaller components. Behind atoms we find electrons, and behind electrons, quarks. Each layer unraveled reveals new secrets, but also new mysteries!

Alright /sci/, theory time.

According to Einstein, light emitted from a given source does not't follow the laws of general relativity, and will travel at the set speed of light in a vacuum regardless of what speed the object that is emitting it is going.

So, if you had a car going 100 km/h and turned the headlights on, the light would travel at the speed of light, NOT at the speed of light + 100 km/h.

But what I want to know now is why does the Doppler effect apply to light if the rate at which it is being emitted is constant?

Shouldn't the waves be a continuous distance apart?

Where am I wrong here?

nothing is impossible!

that's what being a scientist is all about!

could ivory be grown in a lab?

physics master race has this covered:

It's time /sci/

It's apparent that /lit/fags have been trolling our glorious board for some time now. Some would say we should rise above it. I say nay, we must rise to the occasion and show them what geniuses we really are.

ITT: We use science to figure out how to troll /lit/

why is there exactly 12 standard model particles?

what is significant about the number '12' in the universe?

>Psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen thinks scientists and engineers could be more likely to have a child with autism. Some researchers say the proof isn't there.

Just increase the speed of light.

Good news everyone!
I've invented a new a new way to produce energy from sunlight and ordinary water!
Now to think of a name for my invention...

I've got it! Photosynthesis!
And you just read this in my voice!

Good News Everyone! You're now philosophically interested in why you're reading this in my voice!

Good news everyone! You are now reading this post in my voice.

Good news everyone.

Good news everyone!

I can predict you reading this in my voice!

If we abolish organized religion and use all the money that usually goes into it for scientific research, how much would we progress?

>>2898457

Of course not. That's why scientists increased the speed of light in 2208.

>>2862301
indeed
most people who post on /sci/ are actually babbling retards irl

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!

I Finnaly learned College ALgebra!
Thanks To These Tiny Virtual Men From Crion 8 !!
GO FUNCTIONS!

If I were making a test measuring a persons fear of the dark, what do you think this type of test would be able to predict?
