is it not insulting to people who spent thousands of hours dedicating their life to virology to decide suddenly you are the expert? When you can see scientists who make the vaccine ghetting it themselves, and you aren't who's the idiot? If you want to be consistent be an anti-vaxer all together because the vaccines you were injected with as a child weren't perfect either

Can someone explain to me the actual chemistry by which "high pressure and temperature" turns a dinosaur into oil?

How do you cope with the fact that you’ll never experience future civilization & tech thousands of years from now? That you’ll never see the human race become a multi planet species? That you’ll be beyond dust before we learn the uncover the unknown unknowns?

Is the scientific method dead? How do we revivify this philosophical worldview for the betterment of humanity?

Vaccine risk profile

No.13637234 ViewReplyLast 50OriginalReport
French scientists made a website of the vaccine risk profile. 10000 squares.

E.g: for the 30-39 year old:

UNVAXED:
Of 10000 people with the Covid-19 of age and sex defined *:
- 3 will die during hospitalization (black squares)
- 120 will be hospitalized (red and black squares)
- 361 will have persistent symptoms at least 56 days (orange squares) *
- 10000 (all) will be contagious (all squares)

VAXED
If the same people had been vaccinated *:
- 1 will die during hospitalization (black squares)
- 36 will be hospitalized (red and black squares)
- 107 will have persistent symptoms at least 56 days (E.G., Fatigue, loss of persistent smell, etc.) (orange squares) **
- 7039 will not have the COVID-19 (but may possibly have a non-symptomatic infection) (gray squares)
- 2 will have a serious side effect within 2 months of vaccination, and linked to it (eg, fever> 40 ° C, shoulder injury following vaccination, transverse myelitis, legs of the leg) ** * (purple squares)
- Other benefits such as the protective effect of immunization on other people are not presented

Designing the jet engine

No.13637975 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Hi /sci/. I'm an aerospace engineering from france and working on this side project in my lost hours. Please excuse my bad english.

The goal is simple: using what I learned + the internet, I will design a turbojet for middle-sized drones. Design point conditions are the following:

Operation altitude: 10000ft
Aircraft speed: 500km/h (Mach 0.42)
Inlet stagnation pressure: 69692.206 Pa
Inlet stagnation temperature: 268.35 K
Inlet density: 0.905kg/m^3

First I started by the following design steps:
Compressor> Diffuser> Combustor>Turbine stator>Turbine>Exhaust and finally compressor inlet (which is a bit complicated to design due to tip clearance).

But clearly this order doesn't work. Simply because when I designed the compressor I didn't take time to solve combustion equations inside the combustor therefore I got an incorrect air mass flow rate inside the engine. The design steps look more like the following:

Combustion equations>Compressor>Turbine>Combustor>remaining steps

So I had to start again with a larger compressor . I wanted to share my work so /scibros can give a critical assessment of it and if possible provide some solutions of encountered problems. I will update this thread on a regular basis. Toodles

Origins of life and univer

No.13640888 ViewReplyOriginalReport
As far as we know only life can create life and no matter come ex nihilo.

I hear scientist basicaly saying that science will eventualy explain what seems unexplainable and religions that the answer come from the magic man from the Sky.

Would it be possible that life and matter just dont have an origin and the notion of bigginig and end dont apply ?
