Because everyone with a brain already knew about it and because we are always told that if the public ever found out society would break down and we would all loose our minds, so they cant reveal what they know. We've demonstrated that unless they reveal everything beyond what we already know , we won't even engage with it, much less react.

What do you do when you discover something new and/or interesting, which is not useful?

I have discovered a method for finding Bipolar Binary Neural Networks which match arbitrary truth tables. I also always find the smallest such network. However, the size of the search space and the amount of compute needed means that for something small like an MNIST digit classifier, all the computers on earth could not find this classifier using my method, for a hundred trillion years.

Do I publish it anyways hoping someone smarter than me could possibly make it practical somehow? Does it have any value despite the fact that it will almost certainly never have a practical application?

What do you do with your useless research and how do you cope with the time you spent producing it instead of doing something else?

Thank you for saying nice things, but it is very demoralizing when you are maidposting about your research and a janny comes and deletes all your maids. I was bothered research was probably worthless, then nice people came, so I began to maidpost about it and then janny came and deleted all the maids, leaving only this >>16794754 >>16794759.

I have no way to know janny won't just delete my maids again if I keep explaining the idea.

What we now call "classical music" didn't exist in the middle ages. In fact, modern Western music theory didn't exist back then, so European medieval music was centered around melody and not harmony.

When we talk about evidence for non-human intelligences, it helps to rank claims from least to most credible:

Weakest are folkloric and anecdotal accounts — myths of “sky people,” abduction narratives, or supposed out-of-place artifacts. They’re culturally interesting but prone to hoaxes, misperceptions, or psychological explanation.

Middle tier are astrophysical anomalies. “Oumuamua” accelerated in ways hard to explain, though natural hypotheses exist. The 1977 “Wow!” Signal and certain Fast Radio Bursts sparked speculation, but remain one-off or likely natural. Tabby’s Star once looked like a Dyson sphere candidate, but dust fits better. These remind us the universe holds mysteries, though “aliens” aren’t the default explanation.

Stronger are reported physical traces and physiological effects, like claims of exotic alloys or the “Oz effect” during close encounters. Intriguing, but not yet scientifically verified.

Strongest evidence comes from multi-sensor, multi-observer military encounters: the 2004 Nimitz “Tic Tac,” 2015 Gimbal, and others. Pilots, radar, infrared, and visual confirmation all line up, showing craft with extraordinary flight profiles that defy current human technology. Importantly, these aren’t fringe claims — the U.S. Department of Defense and NASA openly admit that some UAP remain unidentified after rigorous analysis.

In short: the best evidence is not ancient myths or speculation, but instrument-verified data collected by trained observers and acknowledged by official institutions. That doesn’t prove “aliens” — but it does establish that we are confronting a genuine unknown, one that deserves serious study.

This thread is dedicated to solving trig identities. If any of ya'll have any problems which are stumping you I can probably help. (I haven't done calc in a very long time, however I am still extremely good at trig, except for polar coordinates).

If any of ya'll need some help with trig identities, just post your problems here and let's see if I can solve them.

e^{ix}= \cos(x)+ i \sin(x) \\
e^{ix}e^{iy} = e^{ix+iy} = e^{i(x+y)} = \cos(x+y)+ i \sin(x+y) \\
e^{ix}e^{iy} = ( \cos(x)+ i \sin(x))( \cos(y)+ i \sin(y)) \\
~~~ = \cos(x) \cos(y)+ \cos(x) i \sin(y)+ i \sin(x) \cos(y)+ i \sin(x) i \sin(y) \\
~~~ = \cos(x) \cos(y) - \sin(x) \sin(y)+ i (\sin(x) \cos(y)+ \cos(x) \sin(y))

Re: \cos(x+y) = \cos(x) \cos(y) - \sin(x) \sin(y) \\

I see the anon's point: it is time consuming and acts more like a social media, and there are a lot of trolls. What is better: reading a book or lurking, posting on /sci/? I bet the first thing.

At the same time, I really like your reasoning. Maybe if people keep at it, contribute quality posts, then it would lead to be a special place. And then you will be benefiting from /sci/ because you can read about real science, real math, and find people passionate about it.

This is democracy and therefore science. Actors’ daughters are now expressing the will of fact-based reality inside of a perfect democracy (the UN) to demand we institute mask mandates in 2025.

“We can and we must do that again. We can recognize filtered air as a human right, intuitively as we recognize filtered water.”

Human rights are democracy and therefore science. Science demands we all mask up.

Low IQ talks about people

Low IQ who thinks they're high IQ talks about ideas fed to them by globohomo shills propped up despite having no credibility or qualifications other than being famous and/or rich and/or physically attractive

High IQ talks about why globohomo pushes the narratives that they do and how we can vaxx ourselves against the psychological manipulation

These are generalities, not absolute rules. Every person of high intelligence needs to talk about people sometimes. Every person of low intelligence sometimes will talk about ideas. Don't use either as iron clad proof of intelligence.

I used to think that slavs in video games all wore baclavas as a way to avoid needing different facial textures. Or that they wore them as extreme cold weather survival wear.

Instead they just like to wear bandit masks like muslim women.

I just saw something disintegrate in the atmosphere and, after thinking about it, realized that this will become a more regular occurrence now with all these comms satellite constellations.

It made me wonder: what is the probability of getting hit by fallen satellite parts? What if there are, say, 30k sats in space?

Pretend I said one object in every 3000 square kilometers, not 3 million as if I were some kind of an idiot who didn't type what he could literally see on his calculator.
>>
all the new swarms of satellites are like a cubic foot
they disintegrate when their orbits decay
>>
>>16799031
most of the satellites that fall to earth are going to be low earth orbit communications satellites, which are fairly universally designed to be completely demisable during reentry
which means literally nothing of it will be left to hit the ground, it will all burn up
>>
>>16799045
>>16799047
>>16799097
I see. Good to know, thanks
I hope they really disintegrate completely in atmosphere because it's kinda scary to think that some random object might fall from the sky and hit people at random times
>>
>>16799267
the biggest concern with that is the launch vehicles used to put the satellites up
but that's only an issue with Chinese launches (which always leave a big old second stage in orbit that we need to keep track of and can fall on somebody's head at any moment) and when there's a failure
one Falcon 9 (out of several hundred) had an engine failure before deorbiting (they put it down in the middle of the ocean on purpose) and it came down and landed on a mountain in Washington State
SpaceX got chewed out for that one and had to do a bunch of paperwork before they could launch again
