Scientifically, why have animals never evolved the capacity to feel depression or sadness like humans do? Moreover, why is emotion-driven suicide a human-only thing?

Where does the initial movement in animal bodies happen? In simple terms.

By movement I mean, when you decide to move your eye, your hand, any part of you, where does the initial movement happen involved in the thought to do that? in your brain? is it some kind of chemical signal? what is the first thing that happens to trigger me to do something, physically.
>>
>>16179667
>in your brain?
Yes
>is it some kind of chemical signal?
Yes
>what is the first thing that happens to trigger me to do something, physically?
Chemicals build up on the end of axon terminals until finally enough has been collected and all of the chemical pours out on to the dendrites of an adjacent neuron. Eventually this reaches neurons in the brain stem which sends a pulse down the spinal cord. After reaching the muscle, a receptor floods the muscle with potassium to make it contract. This is a very simplified version of events but this is the general flow. As for what started the chemicals to flow in the brain, the answers is they have always been flowing from other neurons since the creature has been born.

>>16179676
Okay, thanks.
Seems to me like the chain reaction of physical movements of molecules that end up moving an animals limbs can be traced back to your parents and their sperm and eggs
>>
>>16179667
Often but not always in the CNS. The CNS is not always the brain. Alot of movement is involuntary and the chain starts in the spine or even closer to the target muscle. Sometimes the responsible neurons even exist in the organ itself: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/new-3-d-map-illuminates-little-brain-nerve-cells-within-heart
Voluntary action, say everything that is rather complex and specialized, not simply periodic or reflexive, originates from the brain.

For several years the most popular degree AIU offered was 'Fashion Merchandising'. There's probably jobs for about a dozen of those a year but they were enrolling thousands of students in that major. Not that many of them completed the degree as the type of people who thought it was a good idea are also the type who cannot complete even the most simple assignments.

hi this is my first time using 4chan so I have absolutely no clue if i’m doing this right… can anyone help me identify this bacteria? ive done a multitude of tests with it and narrowed it down to either b. badius, b. cereus, or b. megatarium. (there is confirmation from my professor that it is in fact one of these.)

occurs in chains and singly
gram stain: positive
catalase: positive
starch hydrolysis: positive
grows yellow colonies on MSA agar, no pH change/acid production
positive reaction to spirit blue agar (aka lipase)
casein positive
also its about 1x4 :3

if you need any other info please let me know! the colonies are cream colored and quite dense, not really any particular shape however

my best guess is megatarium cuz of the tests thus far and i also had an old colony turn yellow and apparently that’s a unique trait!

How to into Logic?

Learn how to write basic proofs. Then pick up

>Introduction to Mathematical Logic (Hodel)
>Model Theory (Chang/Keisler)
>Proof Theory (Gaisi)
>Introductory Set Theory (Levy) or Set Theory (Jech).

All cheap dover books and good. Obviously start with learn propositional logic, first order and then maybe second and higher order. Learn some basic proof, model, and set theory. Maybe learn alternative foundations and perspectivevs like typed/untyped lambda calculus, category theory, general type theory and homotopy type theory. Also helps to learn some programming for computational shenanigans, learn Haskell or Scheme and implement stuff. Learn Coq or Agda, or Lean.

Shouldn't gases with only three translational degrees of freedom have a higher diffusion coefficient than a gas with additional rotational and vibrational degrees of freedoms, because they don't have to distribute their thermal energy towards these rotational and vibrational degrees of freedoms, which don't contribute to the diffusion coefficient?

I'm in germany and I pay 100 euros every semester. So around 700€ for a bachelor all in all, while working on the side making 1500€.

I recommend not living in the united states. Also STEM was the best decision of my life. I finished an apprenticeship in trade before (electrician). Which would end, in me working my whole life for 3300 bucks. (50% tax in germany, so around 1800 after tax).

With my engineering degree and the position I'll aquire in my company, I can make around 8000 euros, around 4500 something after tax. So dunno what these people are on about.

If you are in a field of demand, like STEM, medicine, Law, it's a pretty safe way to a good life.

Short version - As much as we all get irked by popsci faggots, the bottom line is that 99% of the human race don't get their cocks out (or their checkbooks) for binary light curve measurements or Langmuir probe sweeps or particle pair correlation plots like scientists do.

Non-scientists have to be persuaded that all this science shit that they don't understand well enough to see how it impacts their daily lives is still worth taking a big bite out of their paycheck to fund, and popsci faggots do that by (for lack of a nicer way of saying it) trying to dumb down the material in a way that doesn't come off as patronizing to laypersons.

Where it becomes a problem is when the popsci faggots think their ability to translate research for laypersons makes them equivalent to actual researchers or puts them in some kind of special position to dictate what government policy on research should be. NDT is particularly bad about this, and buys into his own PR too much.

Oil is extracted from rock at depths below 5km by various gases and fluids which in a supercritical state at the depth, it works the same way supercritical solvent extraction does in laboratories, the solvent releases its extract ones the pressure on the solvent becomes low enough that it can no longer maintain the supercritical state.

>>16137023
>Why do scientists brazenly maintain this antiquated model of Earth's core?
The two articles you listed don't contradict the model...
Yes, for many kilometers below the earth's surface there are micro-organisms living in rocks in very low concentrations. Also there is a tiny amount of water in almost all rocks.
There are even pockets of super-pressurized water, air etc.
No it isn't literally an inverted ocean and amazon forest inside the Earth you dumb fuck.

Low concentrations of life deep in the Earth can easily exceed that at the surface because you're comparing huge amounts of volume with just the two dimensional surface of the Earth.

This is the same reason for why the most common fish in the ocean is a deep-sea bioluminescent fish.
Although there is a far greater concentration of fish at the sea's surface a large volume of deep sea low concentration easily out-numbers it.
The fish are the Cyclothones.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclothone

Looks like the OP's in /sci/ are just as stupid as the OP's in any other board.
