Hypothetically , of course.lets say, a catastrophic event is gonna destroy the Earth, and some guy/s, with commonly available materials and knowledge wants to escape the planet (or if not possible, send a probe with a "message to the stars").Can a man make a Saturn V rocket in his garage/backyard/doomsday bunker?What will be the biggest challenges?What can be done in those scenarios?
>>16830725turns out that flying small space planes up through the first 40000ft of air doesn't really save much fuel at all compared to a basic multi state rocket
>>16827195All merican industrial capacity is gone now.The usa cannot even make simple things.Most electronics for the usmilitary is made in China or Asia.That's why the usa will lose the next war.
>>16830737yeah, but the x-plane program is a way for nasa to tap into the infinite us military budget, so it's cool in my book.an unguided hypersonic spaceplane with a fancy newfangled scramjet engine is just one warhead away from becoming a cruise missile.they're also very fun to build and fly in ksp, but they're unfortunately not that useful in the game either.
>>16830884the x15 is still one of the coolest things ive ever seen. love the opening sequence of First Man that shows one of Armstrongs flights (sort of)
>>16826916One guy on his own without any help really couldn't get very big because of the logistics of fuel production.For a solid motor he needs to be able to cast it on him own and monitor setting giving him ~3 days drying time max before even meth can't keep him awake.For a liquid motor he needs to produce the oxidizer faster than it decays / boils off, if you use something stable like UDMH you just added years to the manufacturing setup if you don't want to gas yourself.If you mean what is the largest mankind could make with unlimited resources there isn't an upper limit, you start with Project Orion and scale as large as you want. If they earth is doomed anyway you can use nukes from the surface without caring about the massive amounts of fallout.
Scientifically speaking, what is the most scientifically painful torture method that can be inflicted on the human body? I'm talking so painful, the person's heart may just give out and they die anyways. Explain scientifically why this method would be the most painful if you will.
>>16831156BASED wu-tang anon
>>16831150this but force feed them meth first so they cant pass out from the pain
First, you must understand what pain is. Pain is a sensation felt through the receptors of the nerve endings. Nerve endings exist in most layers of the human body from the skin to even bone. Even exposing a naked nerve ending to breeze can cause unfathomable pain sensations. So the greatest torture would be to peel back parts of the body layer by layer in a prolonged multi day/week long process.
>>16831376That actually works against the goal because meth will decrease the sensation of pain.
>>16831148you can inflict whatever in a body. if God protects it, the being will not feel pain and/or will not suffer from it
If matter isn't created or destroyed, and simply changes form. Doesn't that mean reincarnation is the true nature of the afterlife?
>>16830662No, because the odds of the same exact circumstances happening to bring your exact atomic configuration into being are so close to zero that writing the number out would take you an infinite lifetimes. I'm sorry, but there's nothing waiting for you on the other side.
>>16831332And yet we exist despite those very oddsMaybe just admit that statistics and probability are just rationalizing what we don't know
>>16831335your current existence bears no statistical relation to the same exact events happening again, the current state of affairs is because the things that had to happen to reach this point have already happened, but the odds of the exact same circumstances occuring again are not even close to being favourable, it's a one and done deal, maybe we'll get lucky and merge into some hyperconsciousness a bajillion years into the future, but even then the notion of "you" would cease to exist, there would only be one "I", a new being with not a single memory of this godforsaken existence.
>>16830662no + energy isnt matter + youre stupid + reincarnation is some idea they give thirdies so they can throw away billions of lives
>>16830662Let's say you get put into an artificial coma. Your memories get deleted with sci-fi technology. People wait until your body has replaced every atom (I don't know if every atom in the human body actually gets replaced over time but let's assume we have the technology to replace even the atoms that don't get replaced naturally atom by atom).You come out of the coma.Does the new consciousness still belong to "you"? There's nothing linking the old you to the new you after all. How is that different from dying but then somehow continuing to be conscious as another conscious being?That would be pretty terrifying actually. It would be like buddhism but you can never escape samsara as long as there are conscious beings.
Why is eugenics considered by many to be evil, while gene editing is not?
>>16825808Gene editing can be done in a way that doesn't override consent, so the same reason infant circumcision is considered evil by many but adult circumcision is not for the most part.
because you don't have to kill someone to gene edit them you retarded wiggerboth still don't work though because genes don't control very much of anything
eugenics is like choosing a partner you like gene egditing is like not going to workbasically ugly girls with bad personalities get upset
>>16831344you dont have to kill anybody in selective breeding zionism and genes do everythung
Because it's forced you dummy.
Where are the room temperature superconductors
>>16831286>Most basic bitch understanding of what they are good forLarge scale transmission and distribution of energy wouldn't be even worth it because aluminum is dirt cheap.It would be electronics that it would change everything in
>>16831286is the sea have ions we could make a lake from acid we could kill these girls too
>>16830334There are superconductors that exist at -70°C btw.
>>16831351They have no applications in electronics. Energy loss in there is not caused by resistance.

I came up with a theory for why humans have chins and other animals don't.No other presentation forms besides video available.

>>16830768Sexual selection. Whatever females found sex many hundreds millennia ago included having large protruding bony mass under one’s mouth. Same reason why male birds will have large tails or colorful coats.

fuck youtube slop just write a blog man
>>16830997>I'd recommend you use some of the video editing techniques to retain audience, monotone voice-over and simple transitions won't keep anyone watching in the age of over stimulationIt is pretty insane how it is these days. Originally I set out to make just a crude video since the theory isn't super fleshed out. Like I point out I came up with everything featured in the video in 2020 and haven't made any progress since then.However since people so are used to constant stimulation and overproduction I had to add some stuff like a dynamic background so that there's something constantly moving in the picture (also it prevents from someone taking the video and cutting it up without being detectable, although I don't really care in this case, just a good idea in general). Either way my original point about just making a crude presentation is still valid. I could try to actually model these forces and verify the theory that way, in which case a proper presentation would be justified. I might still try to do that but I don't mind other people doing it on my behalf

Why didnt THIS WORM evolve further?None of the worms did.Nobody evolved to level of insects, spiders, vertebrates.Poly chaete worms must have appeared 600 million years ago. But they didnt modernize themselves.The only ones to live on land are earthworms, who lost eyes in the process because they actually live underground and dont need eyes there.Meanwhile, earthworms distant relative, the bobbit worm, who never left ocean, is a monster but primitive one. Two highly developed jaws equivalent to insect or lobster jaws. And blood circulation like in fish.But thats all. No complex brain, no legs, no complex internal organs besides the heart and blood vessels.It remains very primitive altough most evolved in its group of animals.
>>16829592unlike worms we have this:insects have legs, actually legs seem to be defining insect form, there are zero insects who try to become wormsinsects have super complex brain altough its extremely smallhowever insect has blood circulation system which is LESS evolved than in wormsalmost zero internal organs, its a miracly they can go on without thosesquids:squids have extremely advanced tentacles, altough zero legsthese tentacles are in many ways as useful as legs if not even more (they are not good in land though)squids have even more advanced brain than insectsComment too long.

They did evolve further. They now control the majority of Indian minds to make them play with shit.

Is instrumentalism the death of scientific progress?
This post will trigger some kind of reaction from some kind of mentally ill retard with zero impulse control.
>Instrumentalism is le bad... or something
>>16830101which type.-curios.
>>16829482Anything that isn't instrumentalistic about science is religious in nature.Reproducibility is the end-all-be-all purpose of science. Anything less isn't science. Anything more isn't science.
>>16830058What did Einstein add to relativity? All of it was known about when he was just a child. People didn't want to accept the implications. He went ahead and accepted them, may others did as well.
Purely hypothetically, what would happen if you dropped a H-bomb on a Cat 5 hurricane?
>>16829301>what would happen if you dropped a H-bomb on a Cat 5 hurricane?Virtually nothing, though I'd imagine something on the level of the Tsar Bomba would cause some form of noticeable brief cloud evaporation within a sector of the cyclone.
>>16829354It's fart in the wind
>>16829301it would explode
Yes, the scale is all wrong for it to work but does bring up the question of how large of an explosion would one need to tear apart a tornado? And were that possible, would there be consequences of some sort beyond that of the explosion?
>>16829301I'm sure pouring thermal and kinetic energy in a runaway spinning system sustained by heat is fine.
Is consciousness a computation? If not, then what is it? Is consciousness mathematical or beyond math?
>>16828973Consciousness is the prima materia (Elemental Elementalism 1.1)
>>16831324So every subatomic particles is conscious, but they just all behave exactly the same by coincidence?
I dont think consciousness is anything special. hard to quantify at the moment but eventually we'll be able to. also free will is an obvious lie. I wish it werent the case but dualism is 99% fake and gay. nothing ever happens.

A true rational materialist admits to himself that money spent on astrophysics, evolutionary biology, geology below a depth of 100m, and any other field to do with the origins of life, the universe and everything, is money wasted.We don't have the instruments to say anything meaningful on that scale. We certainly try to, and then a new instrument comes out, and all of what was believed is thrown out. It isn't ""updated"", please anon, please. Its not a "slow march of scientific progress" in theory.We don't need theorists. We need better instruments, and that is where the money should go.If you disagree with this point of view you are a follower of scientism who wants his answees nowie!, and a dogma loving religious retard uncomfortable with uncertainty, same as any other.
>>16831336>A true rational materialist admits to himself that money spent on ... evolutionary biology ... is money wasted.I dunno man, I'm receiving money for evolutionary study of animals right now and the findings and papers from this work have contributed to conversational policy regarding those animals already, helping preserve their populations in the untouched state. I think any true rational materialist will agree that keeping forests full of nice animals is not a waste of money. >If you disagree with this point of view you are a follower of scientism who wants his answees nowie!Well we need conversational policy "nowie!", or there won't be anything to conserve down the line when we have "better instruments". Not to mention to that you can't develop "better instruments" in isolation from solution of current, practical issues. Nei worked with human blood protein polymorphism, Okazaki studied how bacteriophage T4 effected E coli cultures, and Frankham was inbreeding fruit flies - which all lead to developing the multitude of "better tools", without which even the prospects of developing "even better tools" would be impossible. >It isn't ""updated""Nah, it generally very much is, and the process is much slower and gradual than most think.
>>16831336A true rational materialist is aware that money cannot be wasted. It simply circulated in the economy
How can China be so smart if their written language is literally drawings of houses and cats and shit.
>>16826910>If compact means denseIn Chinese you can say the same thing in fewer characters, but Latin script is legible at a much smaller size per letter/character, so I suspect in practice it's about a wash.>English is phonetically inconsistent in how it sounds when words are combined.English is an outlier, most languages written in Latin script have a much closer relationship between spelling and pronunciation.

Mind computer is installed by drawing from the lower half of the body and world and converting it into a process using the head.A tutorial:1. Imagine a medium sized metal marble rolling on a giant bowl, but with slight friction.2. The objective is to draw from the lower half of your body, up to the head, while simultaneously converting that power into a mental process using the brain. You can do this without part 3 but part 3 is recommended.3. Imagine the marble and part of the bowl in space out in front, and use it to help you orient your lower body draw and brain process move.4. Congratulations, you're transmitting.
