Math has no future.
Pattern Matching will replace it in the next 20 years.

"Math" will be like saying "Horse Drawn Carriage" in 20 years. You brainlets are too stupid to realize this as well. Although there is a possibility that "math" the word can just be remapped to include pattern matching so you ignorant shitbrains can feel good about being dumb.

Math and Science are dead or dying. They are useless and obsolete concepts designed for primitive human societies without good technology. With good technology and proper ways of thinking there is no reason for such stupid concepts or at least a minimal and niche usage for them.

Nigger, the past isn't really "locked in" based on the universe's current state, let alone the future.
Expectations of determinism are based on classical mechanics, which can't explain entropy and the "arrow of time".
Might as well take that shit to /x/ with the UFO's, Bigfoot and scary ghosts.

lole....
Ummmm sweetie, the glass in the green house is a one way mirror, not two way, so uuuuuhhhhhh yeah. Just think about it before you make a stupid post.

imagine ur baking a cooke in a glass box that is a dobble sidded mirror

inside the box you have a heeting lamp

outside the box there is another heeting lamp

which heeting lamp heets the cooke most?

A.Durrrr
B.Reeeeeee
C.Benis

The heat it reflects back is of different wavelengths than the heat that comes through.

Light heats up earth, earth gets hot, because earth isn't as hot as the sun it emits radiation at lower wavelengths than the sun emits. This radiation gets absorbed by gases in the atmosphere like CO2, or reflected back down by clouds

Nemesis when?

>>9029389

Karl Marx is literally and unironically regarded as a major contributor to what we understand modern sociology to be. So there's that.

I'm being sorta-spicy but in another sense not really. People can have a spirited debate about whether psychology and psychiatry are sciences, but at least the debate is tenable in those cases. Even math has rules, makes discoveries, etc. Once you get to sociology you're as close to being outside of "the sciences" as makes no difference. And in any event, you're certainly outside the hard sciences, of course.

"Sociology is a science." is a sentence that might reasonably be assigned a very low, yet non-zero truth value: 0.05, say. Even Marx presented tables of data and examples, and did simple number crunching in service of his arguments.

Now, just because I say that sociology is pretty much not-a-science /right now/, doesn't mean that I can't conceive of some future state of affairs where our understanding of reality is so good that we can analyze ourselves and make "ought" statements about how society is run, which are very much more like a science. But we're not there now because we all have our biases and are free to have them, and it's always near-impossible for any one (or any group) to be objective about itself.

>>9029389
Yes, it's pseudoscience entirely based on ideology and politics. If you want to study it, be rigourous (as in, ensure the scientific legitimacy of what you're studying) and maybe attempt to contribute to reforming it. From it's inception it was like this, so it's best to ignore the core of it and make what you can out of the dregs.

>>9029389
It is futile to separate politics from sociology as power relationships are essential to understanding social problems and characteristics. It is needed to understand the whole and in fact, in the Weber or Marx's approach, it's the only thing that matters.

STEM and Economics don't like Sociology (and other social sciences that they refuse to call science) because its reliance in non-quantitative (qualitative) indicators that have internal validity but not external validity, assuming that quantitative indicators are enough. But while quantitative indicators can easily demonstrate correlations, they generally have a hard time to prove causality, that why qualitative indicators are necessary.

It is a very interesting science, I would recommend it with Economics, but not the "statistics autism" economics but more "theory" economics, get away from microeconomics.

entropy is chaos, negro

>>9028765
Think before you speak.

>>9028757
> Chaos would require the universe to have to exist at all points in time in every physically/metaphysically possible way.
It does.

But that doesn't really make it more chaotic, it makes it less chaotic. Everything that will happen exists from one perspective or another. Particles in motion take every possible path via superposition - that's why your glasses work.

"Chaos" is relative anyways. If unpredictability by humans is "chaos", then the universe contains practically infinite chaos. If disorganization is chaos, same, and if entropy is chaos, same again. Even if causality violations are thought of as chaos, then yes, there's nearly no end to the chaos.

But if chaos is defined as a complete abandonment of all explanation where all things are forever inexplicable from any perspective, fictional or otherwise, then, yes, there is no chaos.

>A turn consists of taking two adjacent cards where the left one is face up and the right one can be face up or face down and flipping them both.

not clear to me... so first turn you flip the left one then you flip both?

>>9031686
you can't do anything first turn you brainlet

>>9031692
Sorry for mistake. When you turn one card you turn other card to the right of that card you just turned. Example:
You have two face down cards, when you turn one to the left, up you must turn other card too.

You need to learn quantum physics then.

>>9030703
Up to what level? I can solve Schrödinger's equation in separated variables in 1D and cylindrical 2D.

just use ashcroft or maybe kittel if ur a pucy.

you need to have your basic lin alg and analysis covered as well as basic qm

Thanks for helping me you useless fucks, I hope your children die from cancer, and I hope you die from AIDS after getting raped by a nigger in an ally way. I also hope your parents' heads are reduced to an unrecognizable pulp after being involved in a violent car crash. I also hope that your pets suffer in the worst way as they are reduced to ash in a house fire.

because ""people"" like to write one line equations while saving on the parenthesis

20 / (5 (2 * 2)) = 1

(20 / 5) * (2 * 2) = 16

>>9030404
How would the old way get you one? Multiplication and division have equal precedence in the order of operations, and are solved left to right, so 20÷5(2×2) = 20÷5×4 = 4×4=16.

Literally any intro stats book is fine. Barely anybody knows or interprets statistics correctly, so you don't need anything more complex 99% of the time.
