If we can make one(1) simulated universe in our universe, then it's most likely that our universe is also a simulation...
But for now it's just baseless speculation. I don't believe it though.

Well a lot of people have a tendency to romanticise physics

You might not even like particle physics by the end of your degree

What kind of physics are you doing? theoretical, mathematical or just straight physics?

To the anon that 22 days ago told me about fermenting L reuteri to fix major health problems, dysbiosis and autoimmune problems, I managed to buy some and I bought a yogurt maker and am fermenting it as we speak.

The bottom half looks translucent and off-yellow. The top half is foamy and thick white.

I'm going to take it when I wake up in 8 hours.

I'll update with any details.

I'm also a brainlet. What is the fastest way to cram for physics/hard sciences (problems are conceptual in general) that does not involve drugs (I'm a connectionlet)?

>>8946494
Tomorrow? Jesus, pal, I don't think that's possible. That's a brainlet class, but if we're talking ultra efficient cramming? You probably want more than a week to learn an entire class on your own

Retake the class if you fail and learn from your mistakes. Just pay attention and don't make life hard for yourself
>>
Well, my physics exam is in two days and I practiced. Same topics plus gravity, oscillations and basic movement. I wish you much luck but it is too late. Repeat the class and do it better next time.
>>
But study anyways right now. Because the emotional pressure on you right now is the best motivation for practicing there is. Use it. Even if you forget it in two weeks again, next time you learn it it will be easier.

Is there any reason to go to Mars other
than a small chance of finding fossils of past life forms or finding something that lives?

What utility can a Mars base have?

I feel a moon base would make more sense.
It's close, and it can probably be funded by tourism.

>>8945027
The only reason to have a Mars base is to get the eggs out of one basket. It isn't a good first choice for that though given that the Mars population would have to live underground or some other heavy shielding.

Venus cloud cities would ultimately have more utility in at least being able to offer up gas mining and earth-like gravity as additional incentives on top of getting the eggs out of one basket.
>>
>>8945027
The reason for colonizing Mars is simple:
1. some people want to go
2. some people can go
Once there is and overlap between 1 and 2 that's all the reason you need to go to Mars, or do anything ever really.

If you're not interested or able, do something else. No further justification needed.

How good is IQ as a measure of "intelligence"?

As beings of flawed intelligence ourselves, we probably can't devise an exam that can accurately measure the exact cognitive faculties of each other. Besides, IQ seems to be rather reductionist: IQ tests tend to measure pattern recognition, arithmetics, logical puzzles and the like, but the full range of mental capabilities we have extends beyond that, into skills that are perhaps quite difficult or maybe even impossible to measure in a quantitative value (the whole idea of having IQ points as pseudo-stat points irl seems odd to me). Things such as social abilities, frequency and colour recognition, linguistic skills, self control and discipline, the ability to retain sobriety and self awareness under the influence of strong emotions or drugs. I don't know, it just seems like a flawed system. Besides that, this is ignorance on my part, but how can you accurately state the average inteligence of an entire ethnicity or country? Wouldn't you have to have a tremendous sample size and very thoroughly test a wide range of people in a variety of ways?

These are just my humble two cents. What do you guys think of this?

IQ tests focus on logic and pattern recognition because this is what intelligence is about.

>frequency and colour recognition
>self control and discipline
>the ability to retain sobriety and self awareness under the influence of strong emotions or drugs
>social abilities

Those have very little, if anything, to do with intelligence. The only thing you've mentioned that could be (and is) considered a sub-category of intelligence is language abilities, because languages are patterns.

>besides that, this is ignorance on my part, but how can you accurately state the average inteligence of an entire ethnicity or country? Wouldn't you have to have a tremendous sample size and very thoroughly test a wide range of people in a variety of ways?

>What is statistics?

There's a reason why don't have to measure every single person to know the average height.

Tl;dr: IQ is not a perfect way of quantifying human intelligence, but it's the best one we have.
>>
>>8944749

How do you define inteligence, if not for the range of capabilities your brain posesses?
>>
>>8944753
If that's your definition of intelligence, then blind people are less intelligent than those with sight.

Pointless for undergraduate desu
I think it best to go to a school for undergraduate where you know YOU will study a lot and familiarize yourself with your subject, and then go to a good grad school with plenty of funding
Example, go to UT Austin for physics and then Caltech for Condensed Matter research

>t. community colleges graduate
Top schools offer unparalleled opportunities and finically aid . Although top state schools are probably comparable , they are often more expensive(if you're not rich). Top schools have enormous endowments and small classes , making it easier for each individual to learn . It looks better on resumes , yes, even for undergrad, and top research universities and LACs produce the greatest amount of PHD students . You'd have to be an idiot to think you won't get a better education at a top 20 school.

what is after infinity??

if first FINITE, then INFINITE, then what? like no matter how many infinities you put together, you will never reach ININFINITE?

i asked my calculus professor this and he told me there are different sizes of infinities. Then I asked like WHAT is to INFINITE that INFINITE is to FINITE? and he was like maybe you should define a new mathematical concept then

Should I do it? do I get nobel prize?
