It seems like all the greatest inventors and geniuses smoked. Not that smoking is good for you, but the nicotine is a nootropic and it makes me wonder how much of that helped.

if you could look like any scientist, contemporary or historical, which one would you pick if you were focused specifically on career advancement?

Can someone explain the formula for entropy to me? Why does it look the way it does?

I'm looking for answers that can be understood by sub-100 IQ holders, but still address each component of the formula.

I have an IQ of 102 and I always wondered what amount of time is needed for someone like me to pass exams. Let's say you have an Electircal engineering exam in 3 weeks, would someone with that IQ managed to pass that if he or she studies 8 hours a day or is it impossible unless one dedicated 3 months exclusively to it?

Scientifically speaking, are humans meant to sleep in the same place for years?

If we are in a simulation is our consciousness less conscious than if we were in the real world? If a God does exist in that real universe would he acknowledge our existence? Is the theory that a it would take a computer the size of the entire observable universe to simulate a 100 electrons real or is it just cope from scientist scared shitless of being simulated? How the fuck are we to even approach death in a simulation.

Jails and prisons are one of the most burdensome expenses in the united states, costing billions of dollars per year. Wouldn't having automatic penitentiary systems with robot guards as a backup reduce the cost and also cut down on escapes? Most jail breaks happen from the inside due to corrupt officials either facilitating the escape through action (providing the prisoners with contraband) or inaction (not forcing them back in their cells or stopping revolts) so it makes sense that robotic wardens and an automated prisoner tracking system (like electronic collars) would be the best way to ensure fair and safe justice. Think of those mostly fully automated factory farms where the animals are shuttled around, fed, taken care of etc by machines. We could be doing that with our own prisons where animals (criminals) have exact routine schedules to follow. This way you dont have to pay for prison staff.

South Korea seems to already be trying to implement a form of this idea with their new high-speed robotic guards.

What do you think existed before the big bang, sci?
