Like poverty

Nigger I thought I told you this is the wrong place for you.
Get off your high horse and cut the holier than thou act too, it's starting to really piss me off.
This isn't your personal blog and nobody on this entire board wants to deal with your shit.

A formidable opponent.

But you failed to anticipate one thing.

im at the end of my sophmore year of getting my bachelors degree in Electrical engineering. anybody here working as one? whats it like?
many of my friends are switching to mechanical because they didint like what they learned in phys 2, but ive been planning to be an EE my whole life. how is it?

You are welcome

Big boobs means a lot of protein. Big ass means easy birth.

A mathematician knows almost Nothing of "advanced" mathematics. Mathematics is an infinite subject, just like Logic.

Same goes for a Physicist because Physics is incomplete and huge, even though it is probably finite.

The degree ends up just giving you the notation, friends and resources for research, not really any solid authority.

>he is trying to be creative
Sure, OP.

I can understand the question you ask, but answering them will not be easy.
The field of cognitive science is a very recent field and it basically researches the exact questions you just asked. In the past 10 years a lot of pharmaceutical money has been transferred from the cardiovascular sector to cognitive science sector, so as you can imagine the field is very young. Since we believe that the brain contains the human psyche we have the same research method as they do in psychology.
Simply put, with a heart you can say that because of heart valves blood only travels in one direction. Yet the brain merely consists of neurons which are either myelinated (have fat around them for quicker transmission, thus called white matter) or unmyelinated (no fat, thus called grey matter), these neurons can either fire or not fire and all of them are in that aspect “exactly” the same. This has made it extremely hard for scientists to correlate areas of the brain with human behavior/functions. To give you an example, theres a drug called Acetyl Cysteine which is commonly used as caughing medication, yet it is currently researched as a drug against Cocaine, Marijuana and Nicotine usage. (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22706327))
We have some rough maps of the brain and its function (e.g. broadmans area) and through case studies of lesions (e.g. Henry Molaisen, Wernicks and Broca) there have been increadible advancements and we are able to help a lot of people with genuine mental illnesses.
To recap, exact location and functions of human behaviors are still researched extensively. As soon as there is a reasonable base of knowledge in this field we can start answering your questions!

alternatively it's a big rock and it's near sunset

If the neurotoxin is the only toxic component then yes.
Otherwise, you will still feel ill effect to a lesser extent. I don't think any of them depend particularly on you being paralysed.

It's widely accepted that there used to be surface water, and have you ever heard of olympus mons?

not far enough away to account for the size difference. It's less than 40% further.

not much smaller than on earth, mars just doesn't have the atmospheric lensing we do.

No idea. I haven't any information on the weight of mining equipment.
If you're willing to help though it costs about $10,000/KG to send things into orbit, at the moment. If you assume that you'll need 15 tonnes of stuff, that's $150M USD. Very, very reasonable, given the fact that there are asteroids due to pass within reach of earth in the next few decades containing 100 times that in minerals.
That said, an influx of material of that magnitude would probably dramatically affect and destabilise markets internationally. No idea what the most effective method of damage control would be.

It's not small, it goes into billions of dollars. It's also only profitable for the very richest organisations, unfortunately.

they kinda are. The distinction between a self replicating nanobot and a self replicating organism is fairly arbitrary.

-Yes they did
-No they wouldn't
-There are over 3000 pictures and you're surprised at there being a curve on a rock? why would that picture be released?
-Vastly more reflective ground. Try taking a picture of the sky with a torch in front of the camera at night.
-No reason for the flag not to wave when the pole was turned. Happened twice, when the flag was put in and walked past by an astronaut, and not again for 8 hours of continuous footage.
-Yes you can. No idea where this comes from.

and interestingly global temperature is still rising.

I didn't say there were no supporters with relevant qualification. I said there were few, and that virtual laymen were being added in to bulk up numbers hugely

>>3551553
I'm not disputing that they're scientists. Their qualifications don't lend them any credibility. It's like if a dentist was listed as being against the standard model.

There's a low level of disagreement in any field. There are, for example, a large number more than 52 creationists with biology qualifications.

for more fun, look at the two people above him, and what they do for a living.

>>3551513
you see, what I was going to do was pick about 20 people at random, check what their field and qualification was, and then post back. Turns out that I rather conveniently don't have to.

Look at these people. Look at their qualifications. they guarantee NOTHING WHATSOEVER in terms of knowledge of the climate of how it works. You'd have to be an idiot to take their word as any kind of evidence.

What you appear to have is a list of around 60 qualified and vaguely (soil sciences, geology) qualified individuals followed by a list of 940 opinionated engineers and people holding utterly unrelated qualifications.
