Meh, as a chemist all of those things are just everyday things.
I go into the detail of life chemistry- and more interestingly, where I can inject alternate molecules to fuck up biological processes.
I had an exam where I had to show how sarin worked. :3

skeleton is made of metal?
explain please.

>>37732
Do explain. Plz?

Calcium phosphate is not a metal just because calcium is one. That's like saying salt is a metal.

>>37814

we need Ca for our bones, but,
are they really made of Ca?

>>37781
The phosphorus part of the sarin molecule binds to a neurotransmitter enzyme, stopping the nerves from working.
It's carbonyl chemistry but with phosphorus.

>>37681
>_Your skeleton is made of metal.
That's silly. That's like saying "You're eating coal".

Every sense is actually a variation on "touch".

>>37681

>_Your skeleton is made of metal.

I feel powerful now!

>>37846
explain how vision is touch
also, "touch" is about 6 to 12 senses grouped into one

>>37846
sight?

>>37877

"touching" the light reflecting off the object with the eyelid

>>37846

I CAME
IM SAYING THIS TO BIOLOGY TEECHER TOMORROW

>>37886
photons bounce off the object you see and deliver their energy to your retina

>>37856
don't, Calcium it's just a pussy metal. It should be osmium, then you'd feel powerful

>>37901
>implying photons have mass

>>37901
the eyelid? really? You're not even trying, anon

>>37844
Fags don't know about my adamantium!

>>37937
e=mc^2

I touched OP's mom, his argument is invalid.

>>37919
They don't bounce. They are absorbed by the atoms which comprise the rods and cone in your retina. also, fotons don't bounce off of mirrors, either

>>37954
F = MA

>>37681
hydroxy apeptite CRYSTALS =/= metal

When you look at an object, you don't see it, you see a representation of that object in your brain.

>>37966
hurf durf absorption energy tresholds
just stop it, this is simplified

>>37902
Read up on proprioception. It is literally your feeling of your whole body. And you can loose it, like any other sense.

The amount of sensory information your brain process while lets say driving or playing vidya games would easily crash most commercial computers and small business servers.

>>37681
>The meaning of life is to replicate DNA and RNA.

no, that's the purpose of your body. the meaning of your life is a self determined variable.

Everything you see is in the past.

When someone walks away from you, they are not just moving away in space, but also in time.

CH3OH = very toxic
CH3CH2OH = Awesome.

The difference is one methyl group. I love how things can differ by 2-3 atoms and just be COMPLETELY DIFFERENT all together. But thats just the way it is.

>>37902

He almost certainly already knows

MIND = BLOWN

testicular cancer tastes like rainbows

>>37997

>science board

>>38016

that that statement is meaningless drivel?

Whenever you fly in a plane you age less than the people on the ground, this is because time is passing more slowly for you relative to the people on the ground. Frequent flyers age a few seconds slower over the course of their lives as a result of this.

>>38039
/sci/ - Spelling and Grammer

>>38039
to his defense, english might not be his first language

>>38016
He most definitely does not, because that is bullshit. Touch is not even a proper sense, but the collective perception of senses like proprioception (sense of self), balance, nociception (sense of pain), thermoception (sense of heat) and others
Touch does not exist

>_The meaning of life is to replicate DNA and RNA.

>>38039
It's called a typo, you fucker

Every fraction of nanosecond you are dying and coming back to life. It takes a literal amount of time for your brain to receive impulses so between those intervals there is no neural activity or impulses traveling to keep your conscience active.

>>38054

>Grammar

>>38091

Trolling is a art

>>37984

Actually when you look at an object your looking back in time. Even if its a couple nanoseconds, but if your looking at say Stars your looking millions of years into the past.

>>38090
This assumes the impulses all arrive at the same time, and are emitted at constant intervals. Not So. Your brain constantly receives information

>>38114

meh

>>38125
This

>>38105
>an art.

>>37984
Oh god, I actually thought of this a couple of weeks ago, and it creeps me the fuck out.

You aren't actually seeing out of your eyes. You're seeing /inside your brain/.

>>38148

Male octopoda (which is the correct plural of octupus, by the way) fuck with one of their tentacles. Then that tentacle detaches and gets stuck inside the female to rot away and keep her from mating again

>>38090
that's quite the redundant statement you've got there.
And besides, it's not death if you're coming back to life.

>>38171
>Trolled.

>>38148

He rests's his case

>>38090
Dying? That is like saying sleep is like being dead because one is not conscious. Neuroscience has not yet gained enough precision to detect a moment where there is absolutely no neural activity.

>>38125

It's all relative. If you slow time down to millions of a millionths of a second there will still be gaps in an interval even if they aren't constant.

That's like saying an electrical current is a constant flow when its really made up of intervals of electrons moving.

>>38176
>which is the correct plural of octupus, by the way
oh I didn't know that. now I feel stupid.

>fuck with one of their tentacles. Then that tentacle detaches and gets stuck inside the female to rot away and keep her from mating again

meh. I wouldn't call that a mindfuck

Most of what you see is just your brain filling in the gaps through complicated guesswork. Sometimes you can even miss massive changes such as a person turning into someone else right in front of you.

Whenever you move your eyes you actually go completely blind for the time it takes until they refocus. If you add up this time you are effectively blind about 40 mins a day.

Oh, and one of my favs: You are a time traveller who will see the future, thing is your machine is stuck on slow and you might not make it. You also lost the reverse setting.

>>38153
"Seeing" is actually a very complex phenomenon. You can loose parts of your vision and not loose others, which can lead to some very fucked-up conditions, like being unable to see movement; being unable to register what it is you are seeing but see it perfectly, and even be able to act accordingkly, like putting a letter into a slot correctly, all while being technically "blind"

>>38199
>>38177

Obviously not absolute death since you can medically die on an operating table and come back. And sleep still has brain activity.

>>38221
giving away your PENIS, which is also one of your manipulatory and locomotory organs, just to have sex, is not a mindfuck?

>>38221
Something rotting away inside your head DOES NOT equal mindfuck????

Wha??

Charles-Bonnet Syndrome is a real condition where the patients are completely sane, but suffer visual hallucination, which have been described by one patient as seeing disney cartoons in real life, interacting with the real world

>>37930
Pooh.

Diamond is one of the hardest, if not THE hardest, metal known to man.

>>37681
Yes I have.
No it isn't.
Maybe A meaning...

>>38176
>octopoda (which is the correct plural of octupus
That is a completely arbitrary position. The most accepted plural is "octopuses". "Octopi" doesn't mesh with the word's etymology, but is still common and accepted. Even "octopodes" is more accepted than "octopoda".

"Octopoda" doesn't fit with any English convention as a plural. Rather, "octopodes" is the order in which octopuses are classified.

>>38209
True, however that does not support the idea that one "dies" during those moments. One could say that there is constant change, a shedding of the old to the new in each moment. However, that is not death and gaps in anything do not suggest it is not an approximated whole. There are gaps between our atoms, that does not make us nonexistent then existent. At most we are most simultaneously.

>>38263
A lot of animals do that, insects in particular.

Some sea slugs which eat algae absorb the chloroplasts from their food, and become capable of photosynthesis

Serious question.

We are all moving along at the speed the Earth is turning. (And moving around the sun, and at the speed the Sun is moving around the galaxy, and at the speed the galaxy is moving, but set that aside a moment.)

People flying the other way move slower than the rest of us.

Do the age less?
