So bugs used to be bigg af back in the day when vi had a higher oxygen % in the air so could i basicly make an ant colony start creating bigger ants by jeeping them in a high oxygen enviroment? Or am i retarded?

Are thoughts excitations of the conscious field when the mind views itself and curves its internal manifodl into its own structural architecture, thereby rendering discretionary properties in its underlying, dimensional matrices?

🧵 Cheap Textbooks For /sci/ stuff

Where do you find your cheap textbooks? I've checked Amazon and Half Priced books and I'm seeing even used textbooks are upwards of 40$ on there. I'm specifically looking for academic math, science, business, history, etc. textbooks.
I know there must be a ton of extra academic books out there, somewhere, since students buy new copies every year.
I heard of Biblio and AbeBooks recently and I see some good prices on there.
I'm already aware of libgen and just pirating them online, but I really prefer to have a physical copy of a book.

Who else went into STEM with the delusion you could make a career out of it?
>ATTENTION: techbros need not post.
Academia is filled with mentally retarded nepo fags who are motivated by namefagging and reddit-tier "science" spectacles. I couldn't stand it, nor could I reasonably succeed with satisfaction. I moved to industry in hopes that it would cut down on some of the shittiness, but somehow people were even stupider and gave even less of a shit than the so-called "academics" with even more rampant nepotism. Pay was only slightly better but with much worse working conditions. I even tried working some of the shitty pleb jobs in my field in an attempt to distinguish myself and "work my way up" (how naive of me) for a while. I had already picked a "second-choice" field because what I originally wanted to really work in is in very low demand and the field is very difficult to enter without connections or the correct background, but it turns out the tradeoff was for nothing.
Perhaps I'm just a quitter who didn't "stick with it" for long enough to get to the good parts. Maybe I'm just unlucky. Maybe my country (United States) is on the worse end of things. Obviously not everyone has it bad. I'm sure there are some labs out there that are nice and functional.
These days I do blue collar work. Currently, I work as a miller. I'm just thankful I don't have to work in service.

🧵 Gravity can exist without mass, /sci/ BTFO

Groundbreaking new research finds that gravity can exist without mass
>Study finds that gravity, which involves the warping of space-time, affects all objects, even light photons, whether they have any mass or not
>In his paper published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Lieu presents a theory that suggests gravity can exist without mass. This groundbreaking idea could potentially eliminate the need for dark matter to explain certain gravitational effects.
>“My own inspiration came from my pursuit for another solution to the gravitational field equations of general relativity — the simplified version of which, applicable to the conditions of galaxies and clusters of galaxies, is known as the Poisson equation — which gives a finite gravitation force in the absence of any detectable mass,” says Lieu, a distinguished professor of physics and astronomy at UAH. “This initiative is in turn driven by my frustration with the status quo, namely the notion of dark matter's existence despite the lack of any direct evidence for a whole century.”

I'm talking about this device https://youtu.be/T6fK8EcFizI
The video gives you 2 explanations of how and why it works, let me give you a third one:
Let's think about the asymmetrical tube. The wide part holds 10 liters of water, while the thin part holds only 1 liter, and it was already manually filled with water before we start.
So, what happens to the water inside the asymmetrical tube?
There are only four outcomes that are even theoretically possible:
1- The water splits in two. The water inside the wide part falls into the higher container, while the water inside the thin part falls into the lower container.
2- The water doesn't move at all.
3- The whole of the water moves up the wide part, down the thin part, and into the lower container.
4- The whole of the water moves up the thin part, down the wide part and into the higher container (i.e., what is shown in the video, which creates a perpetual motion machine).
Thing is, options 1, 2, and 3 are physically impossible.
Option 1 would cause a vacuum at the top of the tube, but none of the forces are strong enough to create a vacuum.
Options 2 and 3 cannot happen because the whole point of the asymmetry of the tube is to ensure that the force produced by the 10 liters of water in the wide side is by far the strongest force in the whole system. No force produced in the thin side is anywhere near strong enough to oppose the 10 liters in the wide side.
By design, we can ensure that nothing can prevent the water in the wide part from moving downwards.
Imagine a balance scale with 10kg on one side and 1kg on the other. The only possible outcome is that the 10kg are moving down. It is simply impossible for the 1kg to prevent the scale from moving, let alone to overpower the 10kg, and cause those 10kg to move upwards.
So option 4, the one where we get free electricity, is the only possible one.

It's November 12 and we still haven't gotten a cold front here in South Texas. When I was growing up, we would get our first cold front in mid October. It's literally been above 75 degrees the entire time this Fall.
Is this because of man-made climate change? If so, how big of a deal is it?

There is nothing more cringe that people who just graduated or not even graduated "I'm a major" acting like they know anything. 4 years is nothing, even 6 is not that long especially when you add to that being an early 20 year old with zero wisdom on the real world.

I'm not suggesting that the white hole was created in the star. I'm saying that it seems like the perfect place to hide one.
Anything exiting a white hole would be glaringly obvious in any other circumstance. But if it were in the sun, we might assume that the light was just coming from the normal sun sources.
Can you think of any way to test that?
