What is the best way to deal with an oil spill like the BP oil spill?

I wan't to know if /sci/ hates blacks.

There's so much skin cosmetic industry disinformation and I was wondering if someone actually knows the science behind why moisturising works and if it isn't just all some big industry scam.

None of you know where we are or how long until the Earth gets destroyed or what happens in the afterlife but we are wasting our time on this website talking about if traps are gay and if a virus is real or not? Why? None of you even know where we are right now or how we got here.

Science has none of the answers yet. What are we gonna do to get some real answers and how do we stop all of these meaningless discussions and endeavors?

What is the point of anything? When I was younger I believed in ideas such as "the sky is the limit", but as I get older it is clear that that's total bs. Every single human being has some kind of upper bound of what they can achieve based on immutable factors such as inherited brain structure. For example, people like Ed Witten (regardless of whether String theory is total nonsense or not) are born with amazing abilities and therefore have no trouble in accomplishing things that to others seem amazing. On the other hand, most people have very clear limitations.

I suppose it's an extension of the difference between man and other animals. A dog, after all, will never understand physics (as taught by a human being). These very concrete limitations (along with the usual politics of academic settings) are the reason why most "scientists" never accomplish anything worthwhile; they simply do not have it in them.

So I ask, what is the point of doing anything (e.g. being a scientific research) other than things that give you material gain (i.e. just trying to get rich)? How do you decide what is worthwhile to do in life?

I fudging LOVE science

Why did it do it?

Would 2mg of nicotine daily improve brain function and reduce ADHD symptoms?
Can't get shit like adderall or ritalin in my country even if you go to the doc with full blown ADHD, so gotta improvise

Why is decomposition not considered reincarnation? If your energy gets consumed into other living organisms and they give birth, aren't those nutrients and energy essentially 'You" passed on down the chain of life? But at the same time I've never seen anyone else consider it the same as reincarnation, because reincarnation is just a religious thing they don't equate it with a logical process that comes essentially exists as a 'transfer of matter between living things'

Say we glass of water. Is it possible for all the particles to appear in the right side of the glass when measured? I don't mean this in the classic deterministic way, I mean if it's possible that if at time t=0 the particles are evenly distributed on the lower half it could be that immediately after all of them are neatly organized on the right side.
