this kind of orbit was believed to not be possible

The fudge factors are dialed in via relativity. Yes, you can calculate orbits with relativity by hand but it is very hard that is why you only do it once as proof of concept then approximate a simple solution for similar orbit

NASA uses NEWTON and CLASSICAL MECHANICS you fucking retard. The timing offset is calculated by LORENTZ.

You won't but I'll ask anyways: Provide something from NASA where they talk about using relativity for satellites.

NASA does use a modified gravity applied to Newtonian calculations for deep space probes but that, if you drill down, is still LORENTZ.

So, for clarity, it is NOT used for standard satellite orbits.

I expect that's all you got is "they kinda use it for deep space probes"

Nothing actually practical or for the benefit of the general public.

good point, i think nanomachines are the wrong way to think about them because as you say we've already had them for millions of years, we should think in terms of systems and organisms.

All those hours studying textbooks at the library, practice tests at Khan Academy, lectures at Coursera, videos from University Youtube channels, and quizes on educational apps are totally useless if you don't have creditable proof. For example, I have to take CLEP exams or else get held back because the university doesn't trust "I studied it online bro, trust me". Moral of the story, self-taught is basically pointless unless you back it up with credentials.

More expensive than a semester taking the course?

Either way: the whole thing is about having something to show for your knowledge.
Any sufficiently bored NEET can read Wikipedia articles and watch videos in between gooning sessions. But nobody wants to hire a terminally online know-it-all.
Either get that paper tacked to your wall or find sone way to tangibly prove you know what you're doing in the field. Even fucking aroind with an Arduino can impress the right people.

It's not that most people don't care, it's that they can't tell the difference. But as long as you don't have the capacity to demonstrate your abilities to people despite their ignorance and congitive miserness, maybe you don't actually have those abilities and skills.

Literally so what ?
If you really "learned it" then you can just take the class and pass it on super easy mode, most of the time consuming "work" of most classes is the homework anyways, the class time is negligible
You're going to hate sitting in a class being told things you already know for hours and listening to others who shouldn't even be in the class in the first place but overall you will get your "college backed credentials"
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? why are you complaining? Just use the extra time you have from already learning everything to learn NEW things or other subjects or just practice your current craft, AI can make endless practice problems if you run out of textbooks and workbooks ect (which you wont)

Also sometimes it requires overcomplicating things and phenomenon that are "obvious" in order to make aspects of them overlooked, or to find ways towards imagining a more adequate framework.
Whitehead was explicitly sensitive about bridging the intellectual and historical past with the present and future. In adventures of ideas he warned about societies implementing new ideas before they could cultivate the customs necessary to sustain them.
Whitehead was very ahead of his time, but he wasn't privileged by the decades of scientific revolution following him. But he can still serve as a useful gateway towards learning process-relational thought, which to be true to itself isn't a doctrine, but a style.

Let's for simplicity assume that average IQ is 100. Can you derive from an IQ of 150 that the individual has the brain power of one and a half people?

Or is this correlation a function as in the brain power is only akin to one and one fourth normal people for example? Or maybe even 2?
4 replies and 1 image omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>16778239
You seem to assume the 'points' of IQ stand for some physical measure of brainpower. Rather, it is a statistical tool that is useful due to having Gaussian distribution properties. It is an artificial metric in that 100 was chosen as the mean and its standard distribution is about 12 or 15 (depending on the test). If you want to derive some sort of comparative brainpower metric, you'll either have to draw from something else or you'll end up with some very shaky line in the sand.

>>
>>16778239
friend, just stop it. first of all, your post suggests that you might be on the 0.75 humans side - not the 1.5 humans side.
Secondly, what the fuck is brain power and what the fuck do you think IQ measures? There are better ways to indulge in yourself than abusing the "I can memorize 13 numbers and can cognitively rotate objects fast enough"-number for it.
Being highly intelligent while socially at the bottom of society is a curse anyway, it'll just either turn you into Ted or make you kys
>>
>>16778239
"Brain power" is not a quantity that sums over groups of people, nor is it a well-defined quantity at all. You could try to compare required man-hours to complete a task. Someone with an IQ of 150 might perform a task more quickly than two people of 100 IQ. But there is no formula for converting IQ to a reduction of man-hours for a particular task, because this effect varies with the task, the individual's intelligence profile, and other factors.
