I know /sci/ loves to endlessly seethe about this clip but vol II of the Feynman lectures actually goes into depth on magnetism if you ever care to learn more. Or you could just chalk it all up to "rotating currents" and call it a day.

nonmathematicians will never understand this. seeing astro idiots try to use math is like watching wild chimpanzees trying to build a piston engine. even if you supply all the parts and all the relevant documentation its never going to work out cause they're just too ignorant to complete the task

i think the question is more about WHY the average person is born to find those activities fun over something more intellectually stimulating.
>>16489325
these things are easy to understand and they get your adrenaline pumping for some people. partying serves the same purpose as tribal people dancing around fires. i don't know any other time when young people are so relaxed and celebratory around each other
it's an essential part of brain development for many developing minds. that's why the alcohol trade off is most likely worth it.

They could launch a successful moon mission this year if they just ignored overt safety margins. But imagine the shit NASA would get if some astronaut died because of a preventable accident. Basically it's the public/culture today at fault.

From the book "The Universe: From Flat Earth To Quasar" by Isaac Asimov, page 120 of the 1966 Paperback edition:

"Release of energy is always at the expense of disappearance of mass, but in ordinary chemical reactions, energy is released in such low quantities that the mass-loss is insignificant. As I have just said, 670,000 gallons of gasoline must be burned to bring about the loss of 1 gram (1/27 of an ounce). Nuclear reactions produce energies of much greater quantities, and here the loss of mass becomes large enough to be significant."

Burning gasoline is an exothermic reaction. What of endothermic chemical reactions, where energy must be input, where energy is not produced but is consumed? In such reactions, is mass being created from the input energy? In what form is the mass? electrons, protons? complete atoms? If the latter, what element(s)?

Thank you.

>>16499663
In chemical reactions the mass is in the binding energy of the molecular bonds. Yes that must come and go somewhere during reactions.

Energy is waves mass is concentrated energy

I dont care about the OP, i can make my own point. And the point im making is that blackboards/whiteboards are obsolete in a teaching setting. They still make sense in research and in a corporate meeting.
Teaching as a job is obsolete. Any teacher can be replaced by a computer or VHS player.
Chalk and blackboards were first made obsolete with the invention of transparencies.
>>
>>16498732
literally every frame. You have your keyframers that do the big movements and your inbetweeners that do the drawings to fill in the animation gaps. They are inked and painted on transparencies and overlayed on hand painted backgrounds. They used film to capture actresses doing the movements as reference.

Snow white is a gorgeous film but it almost bankrupted disney. That's when you got the xerox era where they could just skip a lot of the drawing on cels and copy them over using xerorx machines. That's why everything looks so sketchy in films like 101 dalmatians and robin hood.

but running an old animation studio would be amazing. my ex was an animator for My Little Pony films and they used rigged drawings for all their animations and tweening for the movements. Modern animation looks awful because of it but it costs like 1/1000th of what it use to.

Is it safe to assume that any civilization developed enough to create the scientific method will inevitably create artificial intelligence?
3 replies omitted. Click here to view.

>>16500230
It may depend on the availability of potential Technological trees a civilization can choose to develop based on whatever factor favours whatever theories and technological developments, some civilization, rather exotic may come to develop exotic technology.
>>
>>16500230
No. Civilizations can collapse at any moment and never reach high enough technological state. There is a chance of regulatory capture civilization where by nothing can get done and no innovation occurs in that civilization. EU is a prime example.

Lion's mane is the worst fucking nootropic. There has been a huge amount of research and information on this. It actively harms your cognition in a lot of ways, but for some reason gets shilled a lot.
