Minorities in Britain would hardly be representative of their original ethnic groups (brain drain etc)

If you are talking about an undergrad """pre-med""" then you are right. But studying actual medicine is pretty hard, the way it is hard is different than how physics is hard, but it is still hard.

Remind him that there are way more women in his field than in yours.

Your forward velocity has nothing to do with the amount of force your body takes when hitting the ground. Unless you were traveling near orbital velocity it makes exactly 0 difference. Assuming you didnt slide into anything, and assuming you were wearing all your gear, the force would be identical to you falling over while at a stop. (I.E. you are a pussy) Also what the fuck is an ibs? What planet you from boy?

this is what you get for being an immature troglodyte who doesn't understand that accumulating money and having financial stability is the main goal in life

>inb4 philosophical bullshit about soul, dignity, happiness, etc
having enough money lets you live life the way you want it, that's all the information you need to know in order to conclude that money is the primary goal

You have to understand we can't and we will never can see 4+ dimensions in our reality.

If someone said the universe were 4D, would that mean that it wraps around itself, and you could go in one direction and end up where you started? If you follow a specific point on that gif you get a loop.

I thought it was just a 3D projection of a 4D object, not the 4d object itself. The same way a series of squares would be a 2D projection of a 3D cube

>assuming the universe is homogenous
please don't do this

It could explain the multiverse theory --that out there there are more "universes" in the greater universe. In this model, there would be no "end" of the universe, at least in the ways that we have imagined. There would be a great reconciliation of our mattter with the matter of the greater universe. Big Bangs would be a way to recycle old matter and create new elements, etc. It would imply that "time" did not begin at the Big Bang, and that the physical laws of the Big Bang are not unique, that classical and quantum physics are compatible with the greater universe, which must be made up of the same stuff. A Big Bang might even be "caused" by a greater being from another, older Big Bang universe.

>Not matter that is "in our universe", yet still affecting "our universe" gravitationally.

Okay so you're taking a simple hypothesis and replacing it with two pretty extraordinary hypotheses? Not generally how it works, but alright.

>The other 95% of the universe not in the singularity would be pushed away from the Big Bang
Pushed where?

> so everything would be seeming to move "away" from everything else as it is pulled to the surrounding universe.

But why would that acceleration be accelerating? Unless you want to argue that it's because everything is getting closer to the rest of the matter, sort of like falling down a potential well. Which implies a notion of distance, which implies that the material is actually within our universe just (perhaps) outside our light horizon.

>This is the idea that there is something "beyond our universe" pulling it.

As far as I'm aware that's not a particularly well accepted idea. Since the only Mersini-Houghton could think of testing it was by looking for some particular kind of anisotropy in the CMB, AFAIK that search was "inconclusive".

>Something follows a particular distribution

It's no more magical than height following a Gaussian.

I'm a CS dilettante myself so I can't really give good advice except that the programming general on /g/ would probably give better advice than here which is mostly concentrated on the 'hard' sciences.

Maybe make it about mental issues of the people making the shit up.

Professor project could pertain to Cryptids i'd just need a solid topic to work with. So far the psychological angle seems good.

>>8771961
Pick a new topic?

Or illustrate how zoology, and science, can respond to "cryptids" like the gorilla or okapi, which turned out to exist, and sasquatches and Nessie, which turned out to not exist. Thus illustrating the value of science.

do your own homework brainlet

>>8771757
proof by contradiction. Suppose 5 is not real. Then sqrt(5) could not be real either. But sqrt(5) is real. Therefore 5 is real.

>>8771774
Lol what. How does sqrt have to be real?

If Math is so easy why didn't you solve the Riemann Hypothesis yet you bloody brainlets?
