/sci/ - Science & Math

If any of you have even a casual interest in the origins of modern computing, read up on this man.

It depresses me that so few people realize how important he is to the age we live in.

my willy is at least 4 inches long.

think about THAT.

John von Neumann is also crucial, but I definitely second this.

Photons have practically zero mass.

THERE'S A HEXAGON ON SATURN'S POLES!!!

Keep your political bullshit out of /sci/ or for the by the throne of the gods I will fucking destroy you.

>Photons have practically zero mass

>Photons behave as both a wave AND a particle.

fixed.

Most plentiful metal in human body is Calcium.

Napoleon was actually about 1.7 m tall. That's not much today, but for a Frenchman of his time, it was average. Nothing to lose your mind and conquer the continent over.

Nothing political here so far, but if you have something interesting to say, speak!

Dear /sci/,
Adding salt to your water helps it boil faster.
Love, /ck/.

>>2508454
Elaborate.

>picture calling GWB ignorant
>not political
FUCK OFF

>>2508477
Now, THIS is why we have these threads. Thank you.

>>2508479
It's just a picture. No need to lose your cool, /new/fag.

>>2508462
Both are cool.

>>2508482
You're the /new/fag, /new/fag. This bullshit was never on /sci/ before /new/ shut down. /sci/ is all but destroyed because of you assholes.

Dear /ck/
Enjoy your cooking superstitions.
Love, /sci/

Dear /sci/,

If you have an investment property and are upside down on the loan, just walk away from the mortgage. Fuck the bank.

Sincerely, /jew/

No, it raises the boiling point slightly so your pasta cooks faster.

BAM

>>2508496
>yfw you google ignorance is strength and that's the first picture and you just raged over nothing

Unemployed sociology major here (shocking huh), people suck.

... i take it thats somewhat contrary to the OP's goals.

I have access to a 5 mega lumen digital projector, and the Cosmos DVD box set. If I can get my hands on some equally large speakers and a vehicle to carry it around I'm going to start projection bombing Sagan.

It actually lowers the boiling point slightly. By slightly, we're talking like 1/1000 degree.

>>2508477
But if it is boiling at a lower temperature it will not cook your food as fast.

Actually nevermind, you're right it rises it slightly... very slightly... as in it makes no difference.

Oh for the love of God please tell me you live in the bay area. I will lend you my truck.

When you're driving at night, you can tell if a car is coming around a corner by looking at the telephone lines. If there is a car, it's headlights will reflect off the bottom of the lines and make it shiny.

How much it raises it contingent on the molality.

However, you can make water boil faster by putting a lid on the pot. That's one is actually correct. Charles' law and whatnot.


Also, most things dissolve better in hot or warm liquids, and can even achieve concentrations impossible at lower temps, but that will retain that concentration at lower temperatures. This is the principle that some hand warmers work on and is really useful if you want to dissolve flavorings into cheap booze (skittle vodka, anyone?).

The Gibbard-Satterthwaite theorem states that there is no non-dictatorial voting mechanism where, given three or more candidates, it is in every voter's best interest to vote sincerely.

If you're the philosophical type, you can view this as proof that honesty and politics are inherently inconsistent. But you really shouldn't, because it's a fairly technical result and may not mean what you think it means.

if you analyse skelettons for gender the hip bone will tell you pretty sure what gender it is.
the skull however can only be used in northern populations, like northeurope or northasia.
the more you go south, the more female and male skulls are alike.

swing and a miss there buddy
the addition of salt (solute) decreases the freezing point, and increases the boiling point

as in salt + water will require a greater change in temperature to boil than pure water

Actually, it's so that your spagetti doesn't stick together.
