/sci/ - Science & Math

The relation between fellatio and brain cancer.

Finding out about eyelash mites. There is some knowledge humans simply should not possess.

Perpetual Energy. The ability to nickel and dime people for energy suddenly goes out the window.

>implying that scientific truths in themselves are controversial and not the application of said truths

how do magnets work

If I could scientifically prove there is no god I would burn all my findings and still pretend there is one.

My name is Francis Collins btw.

>implying WikiLeaks wouldn't protect you

None. Though before inventing the multiverse-collapsing device, I'd try to invent both the multiverse-creating device and multiverse-hopping device.

Relativistic kill vehicles/Military robotic AI that has been programmed to kill others

>>2364423
yeah, something along these lines ...

the blueprints of the home-made world destroying machine wouldn't be wise to publicize.

>>2364393
your mom

The discovery of an infinite energy source. It'll end up fucking the economy up so bad, i'd get killed for it.

>>2364427
>AI that has been programmed to kill others
>programmed to kill others
>kill others
as opposed to...?

I`ve been studying my home-made delayed choice quantum eraser for about a month.

Recently i started thinking of modifications to the device so it would be possible to send back the answer of any yes/no questions from the future to the present.

Not that i wanted to change the world or something i just wanted to know if the woman i love has the same feeling for me...
I promised myself after figuring out that one question i would distroy the device and forget about it.

I was parking my car this afternoon and then some guy with sunglasses on and a black suits came out of the van parked next me.

He walked up to me and told me to stop my quantum mechanics experiments or else he would kill the woman i love. He even called her by name i never told anyone. I sould have cut his throat but at that moment i was paralized by fair.

So yea if there`s one thing i`m scared to death of it`s such an oracle device.

You could probably use that energy to protect you some way. If it really is infinite, you could just create gigantic plasma window around you, it'll act as a primitive force field.

>>2364445
lol
I can just imagine all the first AI's unexpectedly failing as soon as they are started because they all kill themselves.
And AI research gets stuck for fifty years because no one realizes this.

>>2364441
You mean cold fusion or Low Energy Nuclear Reactions as it's been rebranded. Within 5 years

... A Rail Gun. get label a terrorist then live in N.Korea.
wait..

>>2364445
As opposed to not killing at all.

>>2364471
>implying cold fusion is possible

A time window to the future

It will show the USA being dominate for the next 1000 years

The butthurt of the rest of the world combined would start WW3

>>2364483
Why you being gloomy? It'll happen one day

It will show it collapsing as even the more-intelligent of its citizens not able to into English.

One that gives any individual the power to obliterate the planet. It would only take one nutjob.

No. These are not "fringe scientists", because they are not scientists.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fringe_science

It is important to distinguish between a science that has not yet been proven but follows the scientific method and any science which does not follow the scientific method. This is the difference between fringe science and pseudoscience


>He doesn't know the difference between fringe science and pseudoscience

>>2364623
>>He doesn't know the difference between fringe science and pseudoscience
Nice Red Herring.

>>2364623
But they aren't following the scientific method (which isn't set in stone anyway).

The point is they are allowing allow foregone conclusions to distort judgment, rather than following the evidence.

>>2364643
>But they aren't following the scientific method

Yes they are. Unlike pseudo-skeptics such as yourself

Immortality. If we didn't find a way to limit births there'd be overpopulation out the ass.

Nice try, fag.
ಠ_ಠ/10

Stop winging and do some science.

>>2364666
Bullshit. Birthrates would drop like a rock. Why do you think that the first-world has such low birthrates compared to the third world? In some places, it has fallen below 2 children per woman.

Oh, and the third world is headed that way quickly. World population is projected to peak and go into decline in the latter half of this century.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudoskeptic#Pseudoskepticism

There are some members of the skeptics’ groups who clearly believe they know the right answer prior to inquiry. They appear not to be interested in weighing alternatives, investigating strange claims, or trying out psychic experiences or altered states for themselves (heaven forbid!), but only in promoting their own particular belief structure and cohesion...I have to say it—most of these people are men. Indeed, I have not met a single woman of this type.[11]

You are no different from creationists

>>2364723
This isn't my field. I'll pay attention when there is an article in Science or Nature. I don't have the time to see if it is wrong (it probably is).

Nice Ad hominem there, you still have yet to provide any evidence. I'm waiting.

>>2364700
What negative aspect of your subjective experience is directly related to the current world population?

tl;dr How exactly would your life be better if there were only 5 billion people?

>>2364723
Why so silent?
If cold fusion is as legit as you say it is, surely providing evidence for it should be easy.
You've spent so much time launching logical fallacies at others, you have yet to provide any evidence...
...it's as if you don't have any...
...oh wait.

>>2364776
Again, I'm glad that there's a peer-reviewed journal article in your link, which is encouraging, but I don't know the journal. I'll wait until I see an article in Science or Nature, because it sure as hell will be if it's not just wishful interpretation of data.

>>2364794
What links?
sorry, "coldfusionnow" doesn't count as a legit link.

>>2364806
The second one. It's apparently a peer-reviewed journal. Don't know if it's a good one.

>>2364799

>>2364814
They both link the same journal though.

Glancing over the research, the fact that the
helium levels present are at about the right levels
you'd expect when there isn't any reactions going
on makes it suspicious.

Why are there no experiments with levels 100
times the background, or 1000 times? The helium
levels are far too inconclusive to suggest such a
reaction is taking place.

None.
