Not sure if this is the right board, but let's say that I have a female twin and we have a female child. Then I eventually get our daughter pregnant and we have a daughter and I get our daughter pregnant and so on for multiple generations. Will I eventually create my clone or something really close to it? It's a weird question, but it comes to mind sometimes.
>>
>>16959787
if you and your twin are different sexes it means you're not identical twins, you're fraternal twins. It's no different from fucking a regular sister.
Also your child wouldn't be "clones" when you do this, it would instead start presenting every recessive gene.
Consider the fact that your father is going to have a bunch of recessive genes that your mother doesn't, and your mother will have a bunch that your father doesn't. When you fuck someone genetically close to yourself suddenly you both have the recessive gene to like grow a third arm or have a chin shaped like a coat hanger and your kids are Hapsburgs but poor
>>
>>16959793
I see, thank you.
>>
>>16959787
Other anon has the right idea but there's in fact a way to check, if you have some homozygous recessive allele (like ginger hair) that your partner didn't have at all, your direct descendants won't have that, but their descendants might (especially if you're introducing your genes again.) So if you see some gingers among the second gen you can guess they probably inherited both halves of your genome, and they're more or less your clones (there's some recombination going on)

On the other hand, since you're a guy, you can't breed with them further since they'd be almost certainly XY.

No, that is not the only way to confirm particle pair production or matter-antimatter annihilation and its about things in open space, not in an isolated system, so its not limited by laws of thermodynamics that only apply to isolated systems.

If you want the quantum mechanics interpretation of pair production and annihilation instead of the basic math, you can review the following.

You have an incomplete video clip of a balloon being inflated and expanding.
If you play it backwards, you can deduce that it started with an empty balloon, without seeing that part.

That's all the big bang theory is- seeing expansion and concluding that the universe was smaller and denser in the past. It doesn't pretend to know or try to explain what the true beginning was or where it came from.
>>
>>16958059
>You have an incomplete video clip of a balloon being inflated and expanding.
No, we have incomplete video clips of light extending indefinitely in all directions and inferred expanding inflation and balloons from that.

>seeing expansion
But we don't see expansion, we infer it from multiple measurements that are inconsistent over time by a fudged red shift factor.

They never stop moving.
The particles that is.
They never rest, they are all, always in motion.
To put a particle "into rest", you connect it to a larger object, and then the combined energy becomes a new larger measurement, yet still in motion.
Nothing in the universe is standing still.
Not even black holes.
The black holes particles are all moving, but simultaneously as a single entity, as a singularity/black-hole as a singular object, black holes break elements and atoms down to the smallest, lowest Planck foundational, fundamental level and packs the pieces together to the point there is no room for movement between the pieces. So the entire unit moves and acts as a whole with no room for pieces to move freely, as they are broken down to the smallest size, and packed together as densely as possible....

But every single fundamental, foundational part of the universe, all moves at the same 1 Planck time movement, they move 1 Planck space, all simultaneously.
All of the Pi quantity of base level foundational Planck level building blocks in the entire universe move 1 Planck distance, in 1 Planck time, all at the same time.
Ladies and gentlemen...I give you....the wave function collapse....

The energy from the Big Bang expansion or impact, that initially separated the Singularity, the Pi quantity of base Planck layer parts, cannot exit the system, and is now trapped in here.
So the parts can never return back to a singularity state, and the energy can never fully separate the parts out infinitely.

Neither Ying nor Yang...Black nor White....Fight nor flight...Open/Close....On/Off.....
We now have Yes/No/MAYBE....we now have Fight/Flight/INVESTIGATE
Neither serious nor humorous....some other......secret thing....fractal balance dance...
The parts attempting to magnetically connect back together, and the energy expanding the parts outward, must form a new state......

I thought this was due to the heisenburg uncertainty principle?

Since you cannot measure both position and velocity at the same time, that means there is always some energy in the particle that we don't know about. The call this "zero point energy" I think.

I want to make a small warehouse for famers who have 1-2 acres of land. Specifically farmers in India and Africa. Im not smart but i did some research and it seems to me that my idea should work.

I want to put pykrete(ice with sawdust or mud which lasts 5-6 days in room temp) in a big evaporative cooler and cool a small 250-300 sqft warehouse which will be built onsite.

Another method i was curious about was putting pykrete inside an earth air heat exchanger for more cooling.

Nearly 40% of fresh produce gets wasted due to non availability of warehousing for farmers worldwide.

Please smart anons of /sci/ run the numbers and tell me if im on the right track or should i rethink this from the start or should i hire an engineer off fiverr or something to build a prototype.

Thank you for your time.

Do some geological research for the ground temperature at different depths.

You're probably better off building a root cellar for "cool" and insulating a large freezer and trying to be energy efficient with good door discipline.

>pykrete
Sourced and maintained how?

TL:DR
Earthen covered warehouse "root cellar" which probably needs humidity control, but passively cooled by the ground temperature. The root cellar is insulated at the roof and entrance, but the floor isn't insulating as it maintains contact with the deeper cool soil. Subsoil temperature is climate dependent and needs to be researched.
Insulated freezer that is designed for efficiency to minimize losses so a smaller refrigeration unit (solar powered?) can maintain a freezing temperature.
>>
>>16958894
Thank you for this reply, i will research this
>>
>>16958748
Solar panel with AC unit will be much cheaper and way more practical for remote rural locations in Africa and India than trying to ship in expensive ice from somewhere else. There's lot more effective solutions too like food preservation in other forms than cooled warehouses or just swapping crops for better climate appropriate plants.
>>
Don't forget that your solution needs to be simple and cheap enough for them to maintain and duplicate after you leave. You don't want to repeat the well building of Africa where as soon as the volunteers leave the locals harvest the project for scrap to sell for pennies. You also probably want an individual to have a direct ownership of your food storage area and have a financial incentive to continue to use it. Whether that's a farmer who stores their stock, the person that runs the market or some other distributor or seller. You want a lasting system that fits within their culture and power structure.

IQ tests are subjective and relative.
my IQ tested at 140 in 5th grade, and 170 sophomore year in high school.

I know there are people way smarter than me in many areas and people dumb as rocks in others.

I don't think to much about it.

the people you need to worry about are the ones that claim to be brilliant and obviously aren't. I'm looking at you orange man.
>>
I aced my SAT in under thirty minutes, despite not ever studying for tests and generally sleeping/doodling in class, and many of my teachers/professors claimed I was the smartest kid they've taught, but my IQ is only 118, and that's because I took Ritalin beforehand, when my previous score was 103.
So, I don't really know if IQ is an irrefutable indicator of intelligence, but honestly I think people are far more specialized and can't be accurately categorized into uniform standards of intelligence.
Even people who feel dumber than me show remarkable insight and cleverness, like when I went to jail and the inmates built a tattoo gun out of radio parts. Granted, they didn't devise it, as they had the blueprints, but some wacky criminal figured that out, probably without any technical background, and that's impressive to me.

So what's the difference between a schizoid and a schizophrenic
>>
>>16959378
A schizoid is not (yet) psychotic whereas a schizophrenic is.
A schizoid, however, shows many if not most of the behavior signs of a schizophrenic including abnormalities in social conduct, disinterest in socializing, disorganized thinking, flat affect and odd mannerism.

A schizoid is variously thought of as suffering from a personality disorder (category C) or as suffering from a schizophrenia spectrum disorder. If classified as a personality disorder, it's usually considered one of the most severe personality disorders.
>>
>>16959378
A schizoid is basically a philosophical zombie with no volition that just stares at walls all day. A schizophrenic has mood-incongruent psychosis and negative symptoms that are a bit similar to the schizoid.
>>
>>16959378
schizoid is a type where there's low emotional energy, low emotional response and a true loner (someone who lives on their own) emotionally (or the lack of it).

schizophrenic is someone who has has strange/random thoughts that are delusional/delirious

there's also schizotypal which is avoidant personality

all 3 exhibit anti-social behavior (cant socialize), some are actively anti-social like schizophrenic/schizotypal, schizoid however is just passively anti-social(or better yet, can be asocial).

3 three are typically clustered together by people and even confused for one another due to outward similarities (doesnt mingle well with people), but they're all very different internally.

>schizoid (aloof/distant)
>schizophrenic ("crazy")
>schizotypal ("shy")
>>
>>16959378
>what’s the difference between a faggot and OP
a faggot doesn’t necessarily make shit threads
>>
>>16959378
Schizoid has negative symptoms for schizophrenia. Negative symptoms = what schizophrenic person loses. Positive = what schizophrenic person gains(delusions, hallucinations, etc).
Read Masterson's Disorders of the Self if you're more curious. McWilliams' Psychoanalytic Diagnosis is another great one.
I was wondering why all the threads are garbage and I realized I was on /sci/.
