I'm convinced that the self is the most mysterious thing about the universe.
Like, I've done research and studied this, but what confines a person to a specific bodily unit in a specific time?
There really are no good answers.

If I asked /x/, they could probably give me answers, but probably not the ones I'd be looking for.

Artificial synthesis of peptides

No.14414293 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Is it possible to artificially synthesize your own peptides? How difficult and costly would it be?
I heard that you can use in-tact ribosomes in water and supply them with DNA/RNA and dNTPs; does this work, and where would I get those 3 ingredients? I also heard that some people/companies use modified bacteria to produce amino acids. I assume the ribosome method would be easy since you wouldn't have to worry about the amino acids being bound in the right order.

Dicyanin

Does this stuff even exist?

/x/ think it does but as far as I’m aware, it doesn’t. Someone on /x/ said
>You can synthesize the dicyanin A precursor (2,4-dimethyl-6-ethoxyquinoline) from Paracetamol. Need to add ethyl iodide and silver nitrate - et voila

I’m a smooth-brain when it comes to chemistry so idk if anon is taking the piss or what. So I ask you, does this stuff even exist? If so, could there be any scientific evidence to back the claims that it can help you see auroral planes or some shit?

Why do people say we don't understand helicopters?

No.14414457 ViewReplyOriginalReport
I know why I don't understand them but it really bugs me when they say science isn't able to explain helicopters.

I know that helicopters are definitely real and they definitely fly, I've seen one in real life. How could they fly if they didn't know everything? What are we missing?

What's the best cough suppressant?

No.14411668 ViewReplyOriginalReport
I'm getting over a cold and I have a lingering cough. I need to not be coughing at work tomorrow. My throat is sore from all the coughing too.
I drank like half a bottle of Delsym but still cough. What can I take that will make me not cough for like 8 hours?

Solar Flare Scare

Is solar flare hysteria going to be the next current thing? Wouldn't be bad I guess. Honestly, I kind of want a world wide technology shut down. God needs to put us in our place again.

I begin the pursuit of my undergraduate degree in math this year.
Once I'm in, what is the best strategy to find a math mommy that will take good care of me?

/gait/ - scientific bipedal locomotion and walk-cycle analysis thread

No.14410061 ViewReplyOriginalReport
At this point it is tradition fellow anons. One has started it - now it is our task to continue. Share anything related to (procedural) walk cycles, animations, gait estimation as well as modelling!
