>>don't have to work with your brainlet peers

Wrong. They're starting to require presentations and group work in even low-level math classes now.

It's all to help women and chads.

>>9170781
yes, doing the same in a few years desu

>>9170801
PhD is quite different brainlet.
Yes, math is a comfy grad school experience. I love it.

now tell me science man, why we can't genetic engineer perfect women yet?

>>9170653
engineering is for homos. so you know why they don't do that. instead we have thrown billions of dollars into researching how to enhance masculine features and feats of masculinity

>>9170242
No

There is no need to. 5 sf is more than suffcient for majority of works

>>9170242
As far as I know, there is only one object that has a 100% accurate measurement - the Kilogramme des Archives. This is the chunk of platinum metal that defines the kilogram, and so it weighs EXACTLY 1 kilogram. This is kind of stupid since lets say the Kilogramme des Archives loses 0.1% of its mass, everything else would technically gain 1/999 of its original weight. Pretty much every other SI unit has been redefined as some unchangeable constant of the universe, like certain light emission qualities or whatnot.

>>9170242
so? whats the point? atoms are in specific sizes and cant really be exact to infinity but it doesnt matter. you dont need a physical measurment to be exact as long as you can measure the value

>Now imagine the universe from the perspective of a gallbladder
Well, the laws of physics still apply. The gallbladder only exists because the laws of physics compelled each individual atom to align itself the way it did. Moving forward with this understanding. The universe to a gallbladder is only a mix of chemical signals which cause it to secrete some green digestive enzyme. But here something’s different. Yes, the gallbladder is still a slave to it's surroundings, only reacting to the chemical signals it receives as the laws of physics compel it to. But the gallbladder, unlike the particle, does indeed have an objective higher purpose in this universe, to keep something living. Gallbladders don't just form out of the ether like particles do, they form only in things which are living, and they form to ensure that this thing thing continues to live. I don't think the following can be denied as an objective truth: gallbladders exist, they exist to sustain life, the laws of physics in this universe have compelled gallbladders to have an objective higher purpose. Of course, the gallbladder itself is unaware of this purpose. It is merely an organ with no tools to perceive what its purpose truly is yet this purpose is still there and undeniably true. Consider this: An atheist gallbladder would not believe in human beings.

Before I jump in here I want to distance myself from a lot of the egocentrism that is present in discussions of god. Gallbladders exist in many different animals, I am just using humans as an example, I do not believe this “higher purpose” I have been alluding to is specific to humans, I think it is the goal for all forms of life, humans just have a nice head start, with that clear let’s continue:

>The universe from the perspective of humans
Nearly all men of science conclude that humans, and life in general exists to survive. Few would dispute the idea of survival as an objective reality. Whatever we have defined as “life” does indeed exist in this universe and the laws of physics do indeed compel it to attempt to “survive”.

The idea of biological survival is so widely accepted that it is frequently the basis of arguments against a god or higher purpose for life. After all, any thoughts we have of god are simply manifestations of our brains curiosity which was a trait we developed early on because it was beneficial to our survival as living things. Here is the problem with using survival as the counter to a belief in higher purpose, is that survival is not a purpose, it is merely a function. The same the function of a gallbladder is a decoder of chemical signals to be decoded, the function of humans (and all life) is to survive. FUNCTION != PURPOSE, this has been proven by the example of the gallbladder.

On what basis can a rational man assert that the laws of physics which have compelled atoms to become chemicals to become proteins and fats and enzymes all with an objective higher purpose to support this life, have compelled nothing more but for this life to survive. It wasn’t enough for the atom to merely survive, the chemical did not merely survive, the cell did not merely survive, nothing in the path to life has merely survived, so what is the evidence that now humans exist to merely survive. All evidence points to the idea that survival is merely a function for a higher purpose.
Before you reply, remember:
An atheist gallbladder doesn’t believe in human beings.

I've got a really good memory. Nothing super, but I usually only have to review my notes one time to get an A in most classes. I don't know anything about training your memory, but I would definitely say my memory feels sharper during the semester. I am sure there are some skills you can learn that will help you remember things better.

I used to have a super memory and intuition, it felt pretty euphoric. I predicted most of the things people were going to say to me, before they said it and I saw vivid images of the places I've been.
An interesting phenomenon I used to have too, was having sudden memory snapshots that would bring memories flooding back, which would tell me what I was doing, when, with whom and other trivia alongside a strong and vivid, mental image.

when you write it down, do you write greek letter nu or v?

>>9167488
No, they actually release very little power. Basically the worst power source you could think of besides nothing.

>>9167520
Well I can only assume how much thermal energy is trapped in the singularity but I don't see any way possible of harnessing it

>>9167520
>>9167488
black hole's radiation (hawkings radiation) is inversly proportional to it's size, meaning tiny black holes behave like powerfull bombs turniing their mass into energy

so it should be theoretically possible to have small black hole giving strong radiation while you keep feeding it mass to keep it at constant size
this would be most efficient way of turning mass directly into energy
