Oh I see, it must pass the magical feng shui field around Japan that makes all the material in the pens to be of "superior japanese quality" right?

>A sphere is a sphere you dumb baby

Of what though? How spherical? You speak of the idea of sphere, a perfect roundness that has no actual existence in reality.

>Same is true for waves.

Actions aren't made of anything, because they literally "are not a thing". They are what something does.

>Obviously, you incorrectly said light slows down in media.
I probably did say that, the only incorrect thing I really said though was "slows down", but that was to stress the point that light isn't a "constant speed". In reality it is instantaneous and has no speed whatsoever and the transverse "waves" you think have a speed are just capacitized by the medium.

>I said it only appears to do so because it interacts with the medium
It is purely resultant of the medium itself. It doesn't "interact with it", it is an effect OF it. That is why a "wave" is a privation, what something else does.

>said it only appears to do so because it interacts with the medium, but retains its speed since otherwise it would attain mass and decay

Mass is basically hard light. It doesn't "attain mass and decay", It already has it by virtue of Electromagnetic retardation which only happens when a medium is present. So your next statement is technically true in that a "rock" doesn't exist, but it certainly is "more real" than a wave.

>Haha, suddenly. Right. If it fits your narrative.
No because "a rock" is not an action.

>So, are rocks solid?
How solid? Hardness scale bro.

>The example with the hall would have shown what you define as slowing down.
Your asking me to define speed and you've already defined the speed. You arbitrarily affected your own "speed" by not having the will to move from point a to point b in the shortest distance possible. You took the scenic route and blamed time for not getting to your destination the way you expected. Well remove the hall and everything else in your way to your destination. Is that altering "speed"?

>Speed of light dot is 5cm/second.

Please explain what basis in reality this "light dot" has. Is it constant? What is the cause of its existence? Is that cause in anyway measurable by "speed"?

>>10313356
>There is no such thing as a the cause for energy

Where does it come from then moron? Itself?

for the sake of diversity I'll blogpost a little:

If you want to work in medicine but you're put off by the amount of schooling required to be a doctor, seriously consider being a nurse or nurse practitioner.

Perhaps. It seems plausible that the weird anomalies that quantum mechanics produces is actually an error in our observation methods. This picture I posted shows an example (albeit poor one) of where we could be going wrong.

^Coincidence? I think not!

>mfw the last 80 years of physics has been a massive blunder.

1) find an organism on earth that can survive in a, sulfuric acid environment, and thrive
2) modify it to survive in low pressures and moderate temperatures
3) modify it to eat or otherwise process carbon dioxide and sulfur, accumulating the compounds in its body over time (after reproducing many times of course), while expelling oxygen and nitrogen
4) let loose a starter batch of a few trillion into the upper atmosphere of venus
5) wait

6) move onto your new earthlike atmosphere carbon-sulfur dust covered world

the best part about terraforming with bioforms, you only need to make a small starter batch, time and nature does the rest

oh shit oh shit oh fuck yes yes

fuck, i love this site.
>that feel when you will live to see a lot of this

I hate to ask for homework help, but this is really bothering me. How do I figure out the work done by a gas if the pressure and volume are variable? THe only values given are Vi, Vf, Pi, and Pf

Yeah, you're retarded.

ALL THOSE LITTLE GIRLS SITTING ON MY KNEE OVER THE YEARS

Good lord. Little sluts.

So if the sun is gradually heating up, doesn't that mean that eventually, Mars will be in the habitable zone for life in a billion years or so? Even if we didn't go there and terraform it ourselves?

In 10 years it will be 2020.

Right now it seems that the idea behind AI is:

WHEN WE GET ENOUGH TRANSISTORS IN THE SAME ROOM WE WILL EMULATE THE HUMAN BRAIN LOLSLOL I ARE SUCCESS

So, uh, it's a human mind clone. Not AI.

And how do you expect a clone of the human mind to enter this so called "upward curve of self-modification"? By adding more transistors?

Okay, you go girl!

Hi /sci/,

When I was younger I believed in all sorts of things. I believed in fairies and in ghosts, in aliens that are among us and in conspiracy theories, in crop circles and telekinesis.

But at about the age of 16 I started to read non-fiction.

How fast would you have to pedal to reach the speed of light?
