/sci/ - Science & Math

It's true but media is taking the words out of context and out of proportion.

What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

The scientists only hypothesized a feasible mechanism for it occurring. There is absolutely no evidence that it's actually happened or ever will happen.

It's mathematical proof that this scenario is not impossible.

It has nothing to do with evidence.

>It's mathematical proof that this scenario is not impossible.

Only under assumptions.

>>5915328
>Only under assumptions.

go do some science without assumptions

>>5915330
Why are you talking about science now? Didn't you say it was a "mathmematical" proof and had nothing to do with science?

>>5915331

are you really confused about what the word 'mathematical' means in this context, or are you just trolling me?

>>5915333
Why don't you enlighten me? Show me the math. I'd love to go through it with you and evaluate its validity.

>>5915333
>or are you just trolling me?

>>5915335

Google it.

Truly we live in the worst possible universe.

>>5915338

that looks suspicious like a yes

How about you just not post in threads in which you are not interested?

>>5915339
It is your burden of proof. I don't even understand anymore what you're talking about.

In >>5915326 you called it a "mathematical proof" and said "It has nothing to do with evidence."

In >>5915333 you claimed the meaning of the word "mathematical" was different here.

I'm confused. What IS it about?

>>5915347

You are confused. Go back to washing bottles.

>>5915352
I don't understand. What do bottles have to do with this thread? I thought it was about a "mathematical proof".

>>5915342
I'm not him, just an onlooker, watching the hilarity that is you.
Better lurk moar before you post

>>5915355

Dat samefag.....

>>5915358
What samefag? You only quoted one single post. Do you even know what the word "samefag" means?

>>5915359

you do, don't you?

>>5915360
I do what?

>>5915362

you sage a lot

>>5915364
Yes.

other that registering your anonymous displeasure, it does nothing.

Assumptions and "mathematical" proofs are fantasy drivel and do not belong in the realm of science.

Well here's the journal:

http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayJournal?jid=IJA

The paper in question is the one by Nicholson and Forgan, enjoy. We look forward to your 14 year old thoughts on it.

Nice try, shill.

>>5915377

You should get a black T-shirt that says

/sci/ Mod

on the front of it, so you can set in front of you 'puter and roleplay better

>>5915402

Y-y-you don't study mathematics at Cambridge?

Why are you even here?

>>5915462

I studied a female mathematician at Cambridge. I'm sure that's the same thing

>>5915469

All that and you can't even access a paper.

You have a terrible life.

>>5915474

You're right. I'm going to start drinking heavier.

>>5915462

>>5915380

I have the pdf and will upload later

Berserkers.

Just saying.

>>5915296
Prove it.

the key word here is "could"
aliens "could" be on earth already
we "could" be aliens ourselves
this article is pretty vacuous, I'm guessing they mean to be telling us that it's more likely than ever before, or something along those lines. it's still not very informative.
