Can neurology ever be used to undermine our belief in subjectivity or is that circular reasoning?

I have the entire day off work tomorrow to make a powerpoint for a party where we do nothing but share said powerpoints and drink.
I want to analyze a completely retarded physics problem in the most absurd way possible - unnecessary Taylor expansions, bad approximations, turning physical objects into packets of their de Broglie wavelengths, etc. What would be something fun and outlandish to toy with like that?
I remember when I was being taught perturbation theory my professor introduced it to us by proving that 2 = 1 "for small values of 2." That's the kind of nonsense I'm going for. I will be incredibly drunk the whole time and so will the audience. I just need to decide on the subject. What would /sci/ overanalyze?
Looking to get schooled on probability. I believe I know the answer but for some reason I find 'odds' somewhat hard to grasp from time to time. A couple of years ago I had purchased 25 feminized cannabis seeds. After germinating and growing only 1 to maturity, it resulted in a male plant. After some research it seems that true feminized seeds are female 99.99% of the time, which would be 1 in 10,000.
So now I'm faced with either having purchased junk seeds that weren't truly feminized, or I was just in the unlucky 1 in 10k. Well over time I grew the remaining 24 seeds only to discover them ALL to be female. Since I hand picked the only male out of the entire batch, is it correct to say the odds of that happening to me were 1 in 250,000?
Brainlet here, can someone prove for me that it is true? This shit is VERY weird t's hard for my brain to square the fact that if you flip a coin 100 times, you should have roughly 50 heads and 50 tails. But getting 50 heads in a ROW is extremely unlikely. So if a set of 100 flips has already been made, you can safely bet far more than 50/50 odds that nowhere in that set of 100 flips was a heads flipped 50 times in a row. But if you are the one flipping then you the flipper are brought along with the coin in its unlikely temporal state of 49 heads in a row so the 50th flip is still 50/50. I find it fascinating.
top universities and public institutes vs industry vs governmental classified studies - the best of which cathegory do the most complicated research?
to clarify, >by industry i mean companies like apple, intel, lockheed, northrup, siemens, roche,...etc. >last thing i meant like mk ultra or something
