tfw when way smarter than the average CS student but also too dumb to ever become a successful mathematics researcher
So this is limbo, huh.
Then go on to be a very good CS student...? What exactly is making this purgatorial
>>8551856
I just feel like math is a more worthy pursue, It's universal. It is the patterns of the universe. Computer science is just applied maths, and application is always more trivial than theory.
>>8551864
I'm in the same exact situation as you. Are you sticking with CS?
>guys help me build this list to be a theoretical physicist
Gravitation by Kip Thorne and Charles Misner
Actually doesn't G. T'Hooft's website How to be a Theoretical Physicist have an entire reading list
>>8551820
Young, Freedman - University Physics
Taylor - Classical Mechanics
Goldstein - Classical Mechanics
Is anybody here a nurse or work in a hospital in general? Would you recommend it for a semi-brainlet? Does things just become second nature after a while or do you feel like you need to bust your ass every day?
>nurse
>Semi-brainlet
>Braffposting.
>>8552121
Thanks for your input
>>8552176
I don't know why you think i wouldn't expect the same level of quality of work from you that i expect from my other slaves
Have to finish all this in 3.5 months.
Wish me luck /sci/ !
>>8549349
Jesus dude. It's like you're taking chem 1 and phys 1 all at the same time!!!
>>8549349
Not bad. I'd suggest learning Probability after integration and derivation but that's just me. Good luck OP
So how's senior year of highschool treating you?
How the hell do I find x in this equation, I found it in an excercise of a stewart book and I can't do it on my own.
>Everything I tried is on pic related
>inb4 not homework just studying
>>8549023
My guess is that you're misreading the question somehow because it's not possible to explicitly solve that for x
>>8549028
Why it isn't... please I want to learn, I asked a lot of people before coming here but you are the first who replied that
>>8549028
I have the book in spanish, so I will translate:
Find the first and the second derivative(?) of the function.
Then verify them to be reasonable between their graphics.
dude why do people enjoy things that I don't lmao

Maybe he would be a respectable scientist if he didn't pander to reddit normies for his career.
I can't find this information anywhere, so I'm guessing it's not that high.
Does this guy actually have any real brain power or is he literally just a meme? I've never been able to take him seriously.

Not that Tyson is a genius, but are you aware that there are extremely famous mathematicians and scientists who haven't taken IQ tests?
He probably believes IQ tests are racist and they keep the black man down
I'm guessing somewhere in the near 130s. Knows he's above average IQ but doesn't want to take the test but wants to show off his intellect still.
>>8544375
Nah.
Remember that the EM-Drive doesn't work
>>8554190
Errr actually, I think you'll find that if you follow the scientific method properly then you should revise your theories based on experimental evidence. Yeah, so what if the weight of experimental evidence affirming conservation of momentum is vastly greater than that provided by memedrive, I've become personally wedded to this idea, so it [math] has [/math] to be everyone else that's wrong.
>>8554203
But they're claiming now to have measured 50N/kw.
That is amazing.
How can you still deny that?
>>8554210
Like clockwork. Also source.
[eqn] α = 2^n where α is also divisible by 3 [/eqn]
Is this possible? Explain and discuss as intuitively as possible.
[eqn] α=2n [/eqn]
where α is also divisible by 3
>>8552786
Fucking hell [eqn] α=2^n [/eqn]
where where α is also divisible by 3
**********
no because 2*2*2*... can be viewed as a prime factorisation of a and it will never have any 3 in there
Why is the golden ratio so universal? It's crazy
a+b/a
>>8552362
>a+b/a
No, it's (a+b)/a=a/b
For origin ask your local Mason.
>>8552362
it's the continued fraction [1,1,1,1,1,...], so yeah, it's pretty common.
>>8552362
>Why is the golden ratio so universal? It's crazy
it isnt

If the planet's core is completely cooled, does that mean mining all the way through is possible?
Assuming you have an electrical system where the ground and the neutral is connected at the sub panel, sharing the same rail (as in the image), if I were connect a wire to the ground pin in an outlet, and connect that to a metal rod that I stick into the physical ground through the window, would I create an additional return path for all the current in the system? (Keep in mind the G/N-rail would be behind the RCD, making it impossible to trigger because the current traveled the correct path through it, before going back out to my ground pin via the rail.)
>>8551330
>through the window
why through the window?
>for all the current
why all the current?
didn't they tell you that current follows conductance?
>>8551380
>why through the window?
Because not all rooms have a door outside.
>why all the current?
Because all the current passes through the rail.
>didn't they tell you that current follows conductance?
You're saying the path between the rail and my ground isn't conductive?
Can you experiment?
Would it be possible for a technologically advanced civilisation to build a habitable ring around a star? I'm not worried about the logistical problems of building (ie resources used, oxygen) I'm more interested in the issues around how it would behave.
>>8549585
The heat and solar flares would prove to be quite an issue, also It seems far more practical to build a space station in orbit around a star.
>>8549592
It would be possible but stupid.
The surface area and manoeuvrability of a giant ring around a star would make it difficult to dodge debris and solar flares (don't think a solar flare would be easy to dodge considering how fast and massive they are but still), its a far more inefficient use of space because the ring shape means there's more surface area too, not to mention it would have to be unnecessarily large, the amount of time and resources required would be preposterous. Unless being a ring actually serves some other purpose it's just a stupid idea.
According to quantum mechanics, atoms can just pop in and out of existence randomly for a few seconds.
What keeps me up at night is wondering if all the atoms of the Sun suddenly quantumly vanished for a few seconds and the earth has no sun for a few seconds.
We the earth and live on earth survive if the sun just disappeared for 3 seconds. What would happen?
>atoms
>a few seconds
holy kek

You would be more likely to have very single person on the planet bow down before you, every girl bend over and wiling offer you their bodies, desperately craving to fulfill your every and dirtiest sexual fantasies. The man work tirelessly to erect a statue in your honor on every planet/moon in our solar system, an alien race coming to meet you and declaring you their new ruler because you are so cool. You going on to become elected master of the universe, always winning every slot machine you played, successfully jogging down a busy highway for miles without any accidents occuring, being struck by lightning 10 million times in a row without dying, finding atlantis, receiving 30,000 Nobel prizes, earning the love of your father, leaving 4chan and becoming actually successful with your life, and having your sick magically lengthen 3 inches overnight, than the sun ever blinking out like that.
That being said if it did you would never notice because we are talking unimaginably tiny fractions of a second. Not seconds. I don't even know if our most sensitive sensors could detect a blip that tiny.
That being said again, if it were for say, 3 seconds, it would just be like nightime. Not even the moon would dissappear as while it only reflects the sun's light, it would still have a slight delay in that reflection that it would disaper when the sun reeapeared.
