DO NOT listen to ANY IDIOT that says this quote. Extraordinary claims require FIVE-SIGMA evidence, that's THE SAME as any other claim!! Earth goes around the sun? Only telescopes were used to do that, nothing extraordinary! Heat isn't phlogiston? It was just by boring cannons! ORDINARY 5 SIGMA EVIDENCE, like what we have for the Higgs boson! EVIDENCE IS EVIDENCE!! It does NOT come in "shades of ordinariness", because ALL EVIDENCE IS CREATED EQUAL!! And it is persuasive when it is persuasive, that is, when it is direct 5-sigma evidence for.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Massie
>Massie earned a bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering and a master of science degree in mechanical engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He participated in the MIT Solar Car Club, which took second place behind a Swiss team in the Solar and Electric 500 at the Phoenix International Raceway in 1991. At the time, the team set several world records including a lap speed in excess of 62 mph (99 km/h), and straight-away speeds in excess of 70 mph (112 km/h).

>In 1992, Massie won MIT's then-named 2.70 ("Introduction to Design and Manufacturing", now named 2.007) Design Competition. MIT professor Woodie Flowers, who pioneered the 2.70 contest, mentioned that Massie watched this contest on television in seventh grade and wanted to come to MIT to win it.

>In 1993, at MIT, Massie and his wife started a company called SensAble Devices Inc. He completed his bachelor's degree the same year and wrote his thesis, Design of a three-degree of Freedom force-reflecting haptic interface. In 1995 Massie won the $30,000 Lemelson-MIT Student Prize for inventors and the $10,000 David and Lindsay Morgenthaler Grand Prize in the sixth annual MIT $10K Entrepreneurial Business Plan Competition. In 1996 his company was reincorporated as SensAble Technologies, Inc., after partner Bill Aulet joined. It raised $32 million of venture capital, had 24 patents, and 70 other employees.

>Also in 1996, Massie completed his Master's degree (SM) with the thesis Initial haptic explorations with the phantom: virtual touch through point interaction

Why the fuck are there 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour it seems so stupid, if it was 100 seconds per minute it'd be a lot simpler to calculate and organise time. For eg someone asks you how many seconds there are in a day, you immediately go 24*60*60 which just seems retarded if there was 100 seconds in a minute you could just figure out that 1440min *100 = seconds but instead it has weird values created by the babylonians.

Are subjective perceptions limited in scope, or are there theoretically infinite (even if it were, say, programmed into an advanced AI, or in a creature that does not exist)?

I am very curious on this matter.

Ochem 2 question about Multiplicity in NMR

No.13339681 ViewReplyOriginalReport
The way my textbook shows the example of 1,2-dichloroethane saying that all the protons are equivalent, so no splitting occurs. However, the next statement, they say geminal and vicinal protons split. Why does that not happen in the example? Someone from class said it's because the compound was symmetric, but the geminal skeleton they showed could easily be symmetric as well.
