>I honestly think being trilingual from an early age raised my IQ and that is the main reason why I am much smarter than my parents.
Which languages do you speak? Did your parents have access to the same education as you?

>>12272479
>Which languages do you speak?
Three European languages, one of which is English. Obviously.
>Did your parents have access to the same education as you?
I think that is debateable and difficult to ascertain. You could argue that the education back then was probably more rigorous, but they didn't really have the life circumstances to shine. My dad was pretty smart, but he went into the military rather than into further education and eventually got commissioned as an officer, but he left and was basically a criminal until his death (selling illegal things). I reckon he probably killed a few people as well.

>I think that is debateable and difficult to ascertain. You could argue that the education back then was probably more rigorous
Same thing for my case. My father is monolingual, but he took an university education. The education was much more strict and rigorous back in the days, and it was mostly focused on being "difficult". Not difficult in the positive way, but they needed to memorize a lot, and you were not able to use aids or sheets during exam. People mostly memorized stuff instead of actually focusing on understanding and implementation.

>>12272453
>Understanding how different languages with different rules work should open you up to thinking in ways that a monolingual can't really understand, and it should also make later language acquisition easier.
I entirely agree with this. I believe that I have a completely different view of the English than an Anglo monolingual speaker. The con is that I sometimes struggle to find the right words in my native language.

no. Cancer won't be cured in twenty years, especially not lung cancer. I similarly don't see any feasible solution coming for COPD.

>>12272631
what is the best way to learn about these topics online to help join the cause for trying to find a cure? I only have high school biology but I'm very interested in science

>>12272431
Well, either we prevent the negative effects of smoking in the first place by basically turning it into pure nicotine (the problems usually come from the tar in the cigarette and the carbon monoxide from it not being burned completely) but nicotine itself has negative effects like addiction and heart problems, and removing everything else would basically change the 'taste' of the cigarette. Or, you could prevent the effects by some sort of lung enhancement which prevents the chemicals from the smoke from accumulating in the alveoli, perhaps a filter of some sort, but that wouldn't help with the carbon monoxide and nicotine issue,

>>12272639
You're not going to directly help develop a cure for cancer without a degree. The best you can hope for with a high school diploma is to become a janitor at a research facility and make the researchers very satisfied with how clean the floors are.

>>12272641
what would a pure nicotine cigarette contain? seems like it would be a good trade off even with the addiction. im not so sure what the heart problems of pure nicotine would be?
also is there a way to fortify those herbal substitute cigarettes with nicotine? seems like that would be a good idea

>discussing economics in any way that doesn't present "fallacies"
The economic system we employ can be looked at as an antidote to the glaring problems that have arisen from the past model.
Any economic you employ will inevitably have problems because humans want paradoxical things as whole, and because humans change/evolve, whatever you want to call it.

It's more like what do we need to put on the stage now for the sake of generative movement and development
In culture right now, we're going a bit more bottom up than top down. This will likely continue for some time, I'm just presenting an economic system that works in accordance.

No model is without flaws because it's a distribution of human energy and finite resources, and economic structures are put in place around the values of the people, which always change.

You would break entanglement by doing that.

Example:
Two photons with opposite spins are created like in my post. They are entangled so if you know the spin of one you can deduce the other. If you take one photon and run it through a polarized filter, it is no longer entangled with the other photon. It is now entangled with the filter, and you can deduce it's spin based on the properties of the filter. You can no longer say the spin of the other photon is the opposite of the polarized filter photon.

>create system of entangled photons
>have your buddy measure his one light year away from you, thus collapsing the photon at your location
>measure your photon in its collapsed state
FTL communication? not quite. when you measure your photon, you have no idea whether it has already collapsed or whether you were the one who caused it to collapse. there's no non-destructive way to observe whether or not an entangled particle has been observed already. that's the reason that information can't be conveyed this way.

Ignore these posts trying to sound smart. Just realise that if you can send information faster-than-light then you can send it back in time. It violates casualty. You could tell yourself next weeks lottery numbers.

There are a variety of relationships between volume and pressure for a given total work done depending on the application.

In practice, to find the relationship between pressure and volume at each temp is no more or less experimentally difficult than just measuring the work done directly. So given that you want the total work done, just measure it.
If it is for a project that is too huge to do experimentally, your best bet is >>12272114 for the closest configuration.

Nothing in the real world is adiabatic or polytropic and both still require you to know n.

>the use of flouride on your teeth thickens your enamel layer, making your teeth very slightly larger
Scientifically speaking, can I make my teeth bigger without clamping?

FR though if I am eating calcium, have high oil intake for my enamel (seriously, oil>flouride for enamel, try it), I eat a lot of dark greens, I eat foods that require my teeth to put in chomp power, then...?

Also, when I run, I notice my enamel is better afterward. I wonder if there's correlation to aerobics and oral bone development.

Anyway theres got to be some other shit like some kinda stem cells kinda weird shit or something

just explain if ice age will happen or not, don't try to sell me garbage pop science newspapers, and retarded youtube videos about how pop science is fake

Anything trying to be a grand unified theory gets politcal pretty fast as none can be tested with current tech.

There's plenty.
Einstein wouldn't accept the results of what is now known as quantum entanglement, saying somethingalong the lines of "are we to expect t o particles can have a 'spooky action at a distance'?" (The term, which was originally dismissive, is now how popsci documentaries call the phenomenon).
There are other ideas which are quite debatable about our interpretation of some results. The idea that the universe is expanding, or that there ought to be some 'dark matter' causing our calculations to differ from observed data are a couple questionable ideas in current physics.
T. I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Publishing in the prestigious journals is impossible without political connections and when prizes are awarded for work that was done by many people, the one who gets the money is usually chosen politically. Usually even getting into a position where you might generate a result deserving of being in a great journal means you already made those political connections. However, it's just the same political bullshit about who gets post docs and professorships.

When I was doing my PhD at Georgia Tech, in my first year the faculty was about 100% white men. There was a Brazilian and a couple of Chinese, one of which was a woman. The faulty that got hired during my four years there were two women, a Thai, two latins, and one white man. I don't think the statistics that had led to the ~100% white man faculty suddenly changed so that 2008-2011 all the best qualified applicants had superficial appearance statistics which suddenly diverged from the previous trend. The same thing that got those women hired is what controls who gets to publish in the great journals and who gets the good post docs.

Interesting, but what of the water in space?

If it were on the Moon I figure it might stick to it (escape velocity isn't nearly high enough to send it to space)

Eventually the Moon would turn into a second planet and be covered entirely with ice.

>Eventually the Moon would turn into a second planet and be covered entirely with ice.
And then it would be too heavy and fall from the sky and kill us all.

It would definitely fuck up the orbit of both bodies so much that no life could survive.

>>12271915
no, this is a misunderstanding of what is actually going on. yes it correlates but it isn't the causation. the real causation is population density. which is also correlated with advancement.

The point is that the argument should be evaluated on the basis of its own logic rather than the person who proposes it.

Use a skull vacuum pump. It will make your brain bigger.

IQ tests like any other tests can be studied for and practiced, if all you want is a high score read and practise the kind of questions on the tests.
If you can't get ~130 doing this you must have been sub 100 before you started.
