  1. Anybody know eighty thousand people?
  2. Taking a stab at this, I believe what you are looking at is the error in position of a three dimensional object--this is probably relating back to HUP. Or many dimensional . . . But this would have to be for a vector product of some sort . . . So like the error in vector displacement in n dimensions!
  3. Warning the following requires appropriate listening devices. I am presently using a Xonar Essence STX and a Sennheiser HD438 headset, anything less might fry or something . . . . linked softest version . .. I like the video!
  4. I take it back Gioncoli's book will not cover curvature, sorry if I inconvenienced anybody!
  5. So what should I get for an intro to geometry?

  6. I will take some time to try and understand this, thank you for your feedback!
  7. Well you seem to be the top nominee regardless, you obviously know what you are doing.
  8. I mean in your contest write up. I am of the opinion that you spend too many of your words detailing your benefits from the contest. I think you might want to mention your focus as a scientist beyond the mere acknowledgement that you endeavour in space related ventures. Maybe describe your specific interests in astrobiology, what about it fascinates you? As it stands you might get a good many votes but I'm sure there will be at least one who recognizes the need to foresee their purpose and can demonstrate a movement toward the advancement of knowledge, as opposed to the fanciful and contrived.
  9. I voted for you but honestly I think you should focus more on the arguments to support your case. Why you as opposed to someone else, like me? I don't read the Metro although now I sort wish I had. Good luck!
  10. So sincere!

      I wouldn't be sincere if I said this was a song I liked!

      Any of the versions - but then I'm a sincere dinosaur - lol!

      Ha . . . I wasn't referencing any song, I can see why you wouldn't like this one! If anything I was quoting fitty cent. Man I have a headache today!

  11. Are you referring to the magnetic quantum number?
  12. I think we should cryogenically preserve human bodies in pods and ship them to other planets in other galaxies in hopes of starting whatever form of life there . . . . when they arrive they can thaw and provide some sort of life soup!

  14. I really don't understand how this works, watch the ball . . . proposition: Space time is curved. Response: What does it mean to be curved? Can we use the terms rarefied and condensed instead? Counter-response: We don't know enough to answer that question . . . . . My response: Then why are we calling it curved in the first place? I mean to me this is a graphing statement, space-time sits on a gradient or on a curve with respect to distance and in proportion to a gravitational force. Honestly for me these are too many words and not enough numbers anyway. Most everything I've read on the subject has put it in words and honestly even if I get the picture the value of the content is almost nil. I hope the text I mentioned solves this!
  15. What you are describing as your interests are more so Information Systems, Computer Science is the science of computing. Computing itself is the ability to process information using algorithms, where information systems deal more with the transmission and storage of information in database servers. For computer science you would start with Discrete Mathematics, Programming, Algorithms, Computer Design and Architecture, and Operating Systems. I don't have much of a book list for these, and although I have a good deal of knowledge in Information Systems I would be best to let someone else make notes for you. "Discrete and Combinatorial Mathematics." - Grimaldi "Data Structures and Other Objects Using C++." - Main "Software Engineering" - Sommerville
  16. Is rarefaction and compression of space-time in fact a proper way of looking at this? I seem to be off on a few of my assumptions about relativity, and the fact that these terms are never used makes me ask the question. Heads up to any that care, it seems that 2nd year physics: relativity and quantum is covered at an introductory level in "Physics for Scientists and Engineers." Giancoli 4th Edition Vol 3. I know I have had a hell of a time finding the appropriate starting point and I am pretty sure this is it . . . after fifteen years of looking--I'm slow! I have volume 1 and will be getting the other two for subsequent courses. The first is just fine for what it does, teaching physics and all.

  18. ha ha ha ha hah ae he . . .. . . .. hah ha hah he . .. . . . . . ha he oh ho ha he hhaaa . . . .
  19. Perhaps we had better start from the beginning!
  20. If mitochondria are assumed to be alpha proteobacterium then what came before this that would have been considered archaea? Also you seem to feel adversely about directing comments about sexual reproduction towards bacterium, may I inquire as to why?
  21. Basic Set Theory - Azriel Levy This book is both completely incomprehensible and completely intuitive at the exact same time! Exercises are interspersed between propositions, lemmas, and corollaries in a very argument driven outline that gives a step by step account of the subject leading up to paper machines. Differential Equations and Linear Algebra - Edwards & Penney Excellent text book that incorporates the two topics respectively. The questions in this book are challenging but are formulated in such a way that the concepts become relevant to their application.
  22. Doesn't it? I think volume is also an important part of these statements. Sorry you said terrible . . . I explained what you are referring to in my second post! It is obviously more complicated and not even entirely understood, but there is in fact much consensus on this subject. ** or better yet not what you are referring to but the outcome of the line of thought Another thing too with music is that involves emotional response which suggests the inclusion of the amygdala.
  23. I will continue to do my reading thanks you two!
  24. There is no reason why there can't be a need and no profit margin. If the product under current technology and innovation is inferior and of no utility then we see a suspension of action towards technologies that are of value. Following the marginal cost line of producing an inferior good with low demand the fair market value will be such that it is less than the average variable cost of production and so firms will shut down. If firms do not have a source of income that they can use to invest in future technologies the production possibilities boundary will never move, the product will never improve, and the market is left to rely on charity to sustain itself. Very few of the more significant fields of research are in a position to output goods that can establish a fair market price that is sustainable. I would like to change this because some of these technologies could see me living a better life for longer, and so for me it is worth the investment. Most people do not think like me and so to them the risk in such an investment is not realistic and is such that the benefits of these theoretical technological advancements are currently not being realized.
