Science addicts here?....

[weiss1967]

I don't know, guys, about this science addiction. Lately I have been implementing some math-heavy procedures, matrix operations, fourier transform, cubic splines etc. Even inventing my own tricks, trying to pull as much as I can from scarce data. I can tell I am not addicted to science.

Addiction=Cured.

On the other note, library is just as full of hotties in their prime, I'd say on par with our gym. 8's and 9's everywhere. Should come there more often.

Nonsense... That's the real deal that requires hard work and discipline and hours/years of thankless work. No time for that stuff doing bring your MATLAB or whatever here because that's no fun. What we need here is more superficial edutainment. Everyone loves that

Keep away from that library, sounds like a minefield for trouble and personal "complications"

matlab/octave/scilab are high-level languages, not an application. Boys at work need applications with buttons and screens. And this is what I am busy making, out of my personal curiosity.

Library thing was just to wake you up, boys. I feel young by just being there, like I am in my early 20 or even late teens. If any of you were in university or college, try learning a complex new subject, you will know what I mean. Get those rusty marbles rolling.

Yeah, my wife recently started full time postgraduate course (in paediatric nursing). I'm watching her getting a big brain shake up and blow cobwebs off the grey matter!

We all need a mental kick up the azz now and again to drive us forwards, as well as the occasional physical ones!

I knew I was special somehow. Evolved to be a better hunter in low light conditions, apparently.

Well, off I go into the night. Should be able to catch something then.

Solar Eclipse April 8th

Mornin' mtp....

Yep....Sagittarius A star providing more visuals for us.

Don't know if I'll be in the eclipse path or not being in central Kansas.

I'll green contributors that I can and thanks for chiming in with some new shvt to view.

Did I mention I love this stuff?

A good day to all!

NASA confirms it's sending its Dragonfly drone-like spacecraft to Saturn's moon Titan



Saturn's largest moon is an Earth-like world that likely has conditions suitable for supporting life. A new NASA spacecraft will spend almost three years studying its surface.

Waste of Effort.
The second that drone thing lands, it'll be swallowed by a giant sand worm.

Lol.

Thanks for the vid, pockets. Will check it out a bit later.

Mornin' MTP....and everyone.

I've read about Titan and some other moons too that may have favorable conditions for some form of life.
Hell....confirming any form life elsewhere would be an incredible find.

I just hope OFT isn't correct....with any luck the 'giant sand worms' will be in cosmic hibernation.

Thanks for posting, I'm on spread with all you dudes.

Just wondering how it's (alien) dna or similar organization would look - would it tend towards the same shapes and double helix or something completely different?

Howdy steffo....

Interesting question.

However, even if the DNA double helix is similar it will probably not look like any form (bodily morphology) of life as we know it.
It's all about the mass of a sphere and it's gravity....that's what determines morphology of a life form.

I'm not smart enough to elaborate too much further here.

A good week to all.

Their DNA is going to be extremely similar to humans. Despite the fact the the male aliens are either very aggressive, or dispassionate but cruel, the females dress in very skimpy clothes, play instruments such as the lute or pan pipes and are strangely seductive, but with either totally blue or totally green skin. You have watched the original Star Trek, right?

Voyager 1 is back???? It was spouting senile gibberish, but it's feeling better again. They fixed it.

Coms/signal there and back is now a 22.5 hour round trip. That's a big distance!

It's becoming V'ger.

22.5 hour round trip...

that is one way, not round trip. 24 billion klicks / 300,000 seconds / 3600 = 22.22 hours
