Analysis or Algebra? Which is more intuitive?

Analysis is more intuitive but harder to do, and algebra is the opposite.
>>
analysis deals with infinity, so its inherently less intuitive
>>
>>8907163
I thought analysis was hard, but became intuitive as I worked with it more. I never felt that way about algebra.

We are standing at the beginning of a profound era. Science and technology, and most importantly data, have expanded greatly over the past 20 years with the mass production of the PC.
Now, there is talk about entering a "singularity" wherein the exponential growth of computation and genetic engineering will lead us to an explosion of intelligence that will very quickly reach whatever physical limit to computation is possible in this universe. Ray Kurzweil is most famous for talking about this and I know everyone on this board knows about it.
However, there is other talk that the increasing difficulty of discovering new things will not lead to an exponential rate of growth, but a logarithmic one. That the "law of accelerated returns" doesn't actually exist and it's actually the "law of diminishing returns". If this is true, we may be entering an era where, while we do make advancements, the growth rate is logarithmic and slow. Whether or not it diverges as well doesn't really matter to our day to day lives.
Which is it? Are we entering the singularity and exponential growth, or will we be "stuck" at our current level for decades/hundreds/thousands of years?

Neither it is pretty much a given that technology will become stagnant in the next couple of years.
Have you ever seen these books about "how the world will look in 50 years"? None of it happened and we are still not one bit closer to them then we are now.
The only thing underestimated and the only thing that gave us any meaningful progress are computers and the rapid increase in processing speed gave allowed for some rapid development.
But with Moor's law being dead and buried that hope is gone. CPU manufacturers are already very close to the limit at which they can produce transistors and there is no breakthrough in sight.
All we can do now is apply that technology to different problems but no meaningful progress will be achieved.
>>
>>8906218
What do you think the last 300 years have been?
Exponential growth is ultimately unsustainable, and we are hitting limits with things like computer technology.
Logarithmic is much more realistic.

I have a question maybe /sci/ can answer.
I am an adrenaline junkie, very competitive and I get off taking risks and doing crazy stuff. I have a constant need for speed and I am currently saving money to get myself a drift car so I can go compete.
How do I fix this? I know I am going to end up a fireball one day, but I still want to go race. I have a mighty need.

Explain this shit. We can travel to other planets, make new functional vaginas in a lab and install them on women who need them, make cars drive themselves and so on but we can't cure male pattern balding. Un-fucking-believable.

What are you talking about? Do you have any sources claiming that changing nuclear spins or absorption of radio frequency radiation causes cancer?
>>
>>8898493
The chance of a single CT causing cancer is pretty low.

I know OP. I went to the ER because i hit my head and was still feeling dizzy and shit days later. They gave me a CT and literally nothing was wrong. I want to rape the doctor that ordered it. I had no idea until I googled it at home.

If you have a gas that is lighter then air, let's say Helium and turn it into a solid, then put it into a container and close it so it becomes a closed system. Then you heat it up so the "frozen gas" once again becomes a gas, will the container fly away like a baloon? Or what will happen.

>Fly away
No, unless you have a lot of helium and light container.
>What will happen
There will be a buoyant force acting on the container, so it'll weight less.
>>
>>8906185
So how do you explain the Conservation of mass with what you just said then?
The mass in the system is constant. Mass is messuared in weight. You just said the container will weigh less, it doesn't add up.
>>
>>8906165
It's the density that determines buoyant force. If you put a slab of solid helium or w/e in a container with air already in it and then heat it up, the total mass is now spread through the container. It does not magically turn into helium's normal density.

If gravity is real then how can a helium balloon float upwards
are you telling me a rubber bag containing helium is stronger than the pull of gravity?
Sounds like horse shit to me

the pull of gravity is so strong it holds all the world's oceans down.... but at the same time not strong enough to stop a helium balloon from floating up?
