Gliese is similar to Earth in some way

https://www.mtvuutiset.fi/artikkeli/tutkijat-loytaneet-maan-kaltaisen-planeetan/8944594

Newly found Gliese 12b is Earth sized and its surface temperature is roughly 42 degrees C on average.

This is a new find, Gliese 12a was found earlier and is not habitable.

However the trouble is, it is 40 light years away.
Even with a spaceship reaching speeds of 1% of lightspeed it would take 4000 years to go there.

Humans are capable of creating a ship that goes 1% of lightspeed but we gotta go faster if we want to reach Glieses.

50% of speed of light would ensure getting to the planet in 80 years which would mean a generational human ship where children born in the first 5 years journey would likely live long enough to see their destination planet as an old person.

I'm 20 and I spend my entire days on the Internet, mostly on 4chan

I have exams coming up very soon and I haven't even started studying for them. I've been suffering from this addiction for years and it has seriously affected my grades, to the point of having to repeat a year.

I've tried all kinds of things but I always end up coming back to my old habits. I just don't know what to do at this point. I wish the Internet didn't exist.

You're a fucking dumbass, if you have an internet addiction it means your addicted to the dopamine rush not the internet, which means that you have adhd. Go to your local doctor and tell them you think you have adhd and that you want a non stimulant. Specifically clonidine fast release 0.2mg, don't tell the doctor you plan on breaking the pill in half to take 0.1mg before bed and again when waking up.

"I think I have adhd...my symptoms are... and I want to be put on 0.2mg normal release clonidine, not slow release clonidine, but the regular fast release clonidine because it has the highest success rate of all non stimulants."

Not strattera because that has 2 many side effects and not guanfacine because it makes you feel dead inside.

Also your regular doctor should be able to prescribe you clonidine which is a non stimulant, you need a psychiatrist for stimulants kwjm

I don't hold it against (you), (you)'re causally determined to be retarded.

1) A real number can be represented by a finite string of characters that uniquely defines that number. For example, there are numerous formulas for pi.

2) It follows that the real numbers can be arranged in order of their smallest possible definitions, from smallest to largest

3) If the real numbers can be arranged in the order of the lengths of their definitions, then Cantor’s diagonal proof is a faulty construction, since the diagonal number’s definition MUST be in the list and both out of the list at the same time.

4) Therefore, Cantor’s proof merely proves that one cannot define a number to be different than all other real numbers, and that this is the real cause of the contradiction.

Q.E.D.

It seems to be a socially inept nerd version of trolling. There are some topics like politics or ethics where trolling is naturally easy and effective by arguing an emotional or controversial opinion. But instead people like OP can only troll by "pretending to be retarded". Denying obvious logical facts while addressing an audience of mathematically educated people is literally the dumbest and most ineffective method of trolling. The only answers OP gets are people calling him stupid. What a sad waste of time.

Atheists are incapable of being honest, thats why they can't do real science. Science was developed on the basis of Christianity, the scientific method is a subset of Christianity, without the foundation of Christianity to stand on, the scientific method collapses. Christianity is more fundamental to science than even mathematics is

Is wikipedia OK as a general science resource? I read wikipedia science articles a lot and sometimes wonder if things are correct. I assume things that are referenced to academic papers are going to have a good chance of being correct, but it's not uncommon for half the article to be unsourced. Sometimes i'll check the Talk page of an article to see if people are complaining about stuff in the article, and while I've seen it happen a few times it doesn't seem that common, so I assume most articles are decent.

Do you have any examples of science articles on Wikipedia that are blatantly wrong? Not just because you have a hunch they're wrong, but you actually know some statement is verifiably incorrect.

While the Out of Africa theory is often debated on /sci/, the Talk page on wikipedia is basically empty, which I assume means almost nobody disputes the claims made in the article.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Recent_African_origin_of_modern_humans

The Climate Change article though has almost 100 pages of people arguing against the content of the article, with lots of comments like this one for example. So I assume there is likely problems with the article content, or important information isn't being included

Bullcrap. For all we know, there are whole undiscovered fields we're ignorant of. And I'm sure there are fields full of errs and unknowns, particle physics/QED/QCD for example. No one says it/dares to go against the grain though, and I've noticed that nowadays dissenting voices have become less, for fear of losing livelihoods. Whereas back in the day, there were multiple ways of thinking with usually, right thoughts somewhere in all of them. We're lacking daring thoughts that may be wrong.

Aspiring doctor brain dead after friends pushed him into lake knowing he can’t swim

https://nypost.com/2024/05/04/us-news/louisiana-aspiring-doctor-christopher-gilbert-left-brain-dead-after-friends-push-him-in-lake-to-drown/

An aspiring medical student was left brain dead last month when his friends pushed him into a Louisiana lake knowing he couldn’t swim — and then looked on while doing nothing to save the drowning man, according to a report.

Shocking video shows the group casually peering into the water moments after they shoved Christopher Gilbert off the dock at Lake D’Arbonne in Farmerville on April 14.

At least one woman can be seen slowly entering the water before abandoning the rescue mission.

It was another 10 minutes before a patron at a nearby restaurant intervened and yanked Gilbert back to land — just in the nick of time.

>This bum splitting turd (coprolite) was found in 1972 beneath the site of what was to become the York branch of Lloyds Bank and may be the largest example of fossilised human faeces ever found, measuring a whopping 20cm (8 in) long and 5cm (2 in) wide! Analysis of the stool has indicated that its producer subsisted largely on meat and bread whilst the presence of several hundred parasitic eggs suggests they were riddled with intestinal worms. In 1991, York Archaeological Trust employee and paleoscatologist, Dr Andrew Jones, made international news with his appraisal of the item for insurance purposes: "This is the most exciting piece of excrement I've ever seen... In its own way, it's as irreplaceable as the Crown Jewels". The layers that covered the coprolite were moist and peaty. They preserved not only the coprolite but also timber, textiles and leather. Put simply, this is a fossilized human turd. Possibly the largest and – bizarrely – most valuable poo on record. It dates back to approximately the 9th century and the person responsible is believed to be a Viking

With negative inertial mass repulsive gravity would attract negative mass and repel positive mass with positive inertial mass. A couple of particles one with positive, the other negative mass would accelerate to the speed of light.

I know, I'll chop my dong off! That's gonna fix everything! Boohoohoo, my titties make me weepy (grabs hedge trimmers), SNIP SNAP, surely I'm not infested with CASTRATING PARASITES. Hooray!

How would someone just them to be insane?!?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasitic_castration
Parasitic castration is the strategy, by a parasite, of blocking reproduction by its host, completely or in part, to its own benefit. This is one of six major strategies within parasitism.
=======
The parasitic castration strategy, which results in the reproductive death of the host, can be compared with the parasitoid strategy, which results in the host's death. Both parasitoids and parasitic castrators tend to be similar to their host in size, whereas most non-castrating parasites are orders of magnitude smaller than the host. In both strategies, an infected host is much less hospitable to new parasites than an uninfected one.[2]

A parasite that ends the reproductive life of its host theoretically liberates a significant fraction of the host's resources, which can now be used to benefit the parasite. The fraction of intact host energy spent on reproduction includes not just gonads and gametes but also secondary sexual characteristics, mate-seeking behavior, competition, and care for offspring. Infected hosts may have a different appearance, lacking said sex characteristics and sometimes even devoting more energy to growth, resulting in gigantism.[3] The evolutionary parasitologist Robert Poulin suggests that parasitic castration may result in prolonged host life, benefiting the parasite.[4]

Parasitic castration may be direct, as in Hemioniscus balani, a parasite of hermaphroditic barnacles which feeds on ovarian fluid, so that its host loses female reproductive ability but still can function as a male.

PARASITE GOES NOM NOM NOM — CUNTOID BECOMES ZIPPERTITS OR DYKES

>>16187256
No.
Being an expert in one field doesn't make you an expert in another one. Consider for instance his god awful poetry, or his god awful philosophy, or his god awful politics. Gender dysphoria is recognized as a mental illness, treatment of which may include transitioning, but transgender people are not mentally ill just by virtue of being transgender.
