Are vaccine passports settled science?

No.14263547 ViewReplyOriginalReport
SMART cards are being rolled out across the US as we speak and I was wondering if vaccine passports were settled science or not? Last I checked they were just a far-right neonazi conspiracy theory, but I guess I haven't been following the science closely enough.

The meaning of life is evolution, loosely defined and applied to all aspects of life in the universe. To progress is to take the next physically defined step and allow for greater succession in state and ability, to allow for the conditions of life, to ensure greater survivability, to accumulate knowledge and build greater technologies. Possibly, to achieve free will and go beyond that scope of understanding and existence.
I’ve largely skimmed over the occurrences and possibilities of said evolution but it is, put simply, the history and progression of the universe and humanity.
The formation of the sun and Earth to allow for abiogenesis, the creation of life. The original applied reference for evolution of life, adapting constantly to thrive in the environment in spite of the stresses incurred over lifetimes. Our development of technology and applied uses to increase the quality of life for the most privileged to receive.
Even the evolution of pain has been a target of our efforts to deal with and subdue the suffering in our lives. Art has evolved to greater capture the range of emotions and experiences one can imagine in this life. Technology, without a doubt is evolving to suit our ability to adapt and evolve in the face of nature and reality, to better accommodate our daily and most arduous or tedious tasks. We are at the brink of artificial intelligence and only then, when given such unfounded power, will we yet again ask how or why we are alive

apparently the earth is moving through space at some ungodly speed

if it wasnt, what would happen to our "time" (relative to an observer)? does the speed we are "moving" through the universe significantly impact how "quickly" we move through time too?

read picrel completely
if you're here as a political activist of some sort then you aren't welcome. if you think you're going to save the world from global warming or coronavirus then you're on the wrong website.
if you want to protect humanity from asteroids by establishing a space colony then take your savior complex and go somewhere else, same goes for the transhumanist lgbt activists. you are unwelcome on 4chan, thus sayeth the creator.

the current rules on 4chan permit an meta thread on each board, this is /sci/'s

It is a mathematical absurdity for the origin of life to have occurred without intent.

Safe and Effective Height Growth

No.14262012 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Will there ever be a safe and effective way to cosmetically make someone taller? Perhaps stem cells to the growth plates.

Right now limb lengthening exists, but it is very expensive and the recovery takes a very long time for just a few inches.

I'm currently 21 and 5'11", and I plan on getting the surgery at 25, but I'm also hoping there will be something better by then.

I'm curious about something.
Say you got a glasgow smile/chelsea grin given to you, and you somehow healed it (cauterization?) without joining the separated flesh together, (so you've got two gashes in your face, but they're healed over) would you still be able to talk normally, or would the holes affect your speech in any significant way?

Short term Verbal memory?

No.14263607 ViewReplyOriginalReport
If someone were to score 99th percentile in a short term verbal memory subtest, where exactly would their strengths shine in academia, and how would they apply said verbal memory in fluid situations outside of academia?
