/sci/ - Science & Math

I don't fucking know. I'm just a goddamn accountant.

Maybe it converts from matter to pure energy or some crazy shit.

Intelligence is the ability to recognize patterns and make decisions based on patterns.

Suppose there is a weight suspended by a pulley as such.
http://img.ehowcdn.com/article-new/ehow/images/a04/vk/km/much-weight-pulley-off_-800x800.jpg

obviously gravity is a force that pulls the weight down. To keep the weight suspended, an equal force needs to be exerted.

What if a magnet was attached to the open end. Is the magnet exerting a force opposite to gravity to keep the weight suspended then?

More recently United Nuclear developed a technology in which solar power was harnessed to split water for hydrogen vehicles. But they got raided by feds, who probably wanted to shut down the hydrogen deal.

what's with all this fringe science shit today?

Stainless steel 316 (marine grade) is what you want to use to prevent degradation of electrodes. You also don't want to overload your electrodes with current. There's a certain limit you don't want to go past or they will break down.

Graphite won't work. The cathode will degrade.

Your water is blue because you were probably using copper electrodes.

Obviously you want high voltage. Higher voltage, higher efficiency. You'll want to stack plates in a series for higher efficiency.

If you're into conspiracy theory, Stanley Meyer developed a way to split water which used less energy than burning the product generated. Supposedly it had to do with voltage and a resonant frequency of the water. He tuned it somehow like an instrument, else it wouldn't work properly.

White people see the octopuses, decide they're pretty cool. Come back again, decide the octopuses have something they want, begin to enslave octopuses and slaughter resistance from the octopus army. Suddenly fish farms everywhere are using enslaved octopuses to manage their fishes. Eventually the octopuses organize and achieve their freedom. White people go back to using humans to manage their fish farms and the octopus population is decimated.

Very cool, but magnets are more powerful. Those rolling balls can only generate so much torque. Better off writing a script to show the best angles for magnet alignment.

I don't. You assume too much OP. Perpetual motion merely reroutes existing energy. That's all.

I don't think there is a peak oil. It seems more likely that oil is formed naturally in the earth rather than from dead plants and animals. Abiotic oil.

A lot of it, actually. I've seen a patent regarding a large pyramid shape made of metal. It generates thousands of volts.

A physical brain is not needed to survive. Some people are missing the majority of their cerebrum and there is no decrease in intelligence. The ancient Egyptians knew this, which is why they always removed the brain.

I'm pretty sure the subject in this sentence is "number," not "patients." "Of patients" is part of a preposition and it cannot be the subject. Because "number" is singular, it would be "suffers."

Closer than the truth to the burial chamber theory for sure.

/sci/ has really turned into a shithole.

There was one company recently that developed some sort of catalyst compound that split water into hydrogen and oxygen with only sunlight. Incredibly efficient. Then the FBI came knocking and sued their business for distributing chemicals that could be used in making bombs or something. Can't remember the business, but it was on Wired.

If by we you mean a small minority of intelligent people rather than all of Britain... then yes.

Because the Large Hadron Collider is a dual use science program with military applications, and it needs a "civilian oriented" cover story. Higgs Boson does the job.
It's a time machine.

Actually I do know the profession, which is why I say everything they do can be automated with software. Machines are reliable. People are not.

Basically, this, except my predicted timespan is much shorter than 50 years. Maybe 10, which would put any aspiring pharmacists' future at risk.

Well you need to take into account which jobs are more easily "mechanized". Pharmacist making decisions based on memorized formulas? Easily replaced. Lawyer that needs to come up with original ideas? Machines in the mainstream probably won't be doing that any time soon.
