Do there exist any degrees that no one on this board will make fun of?
I am a Chem major and everyone says it's just a dumb meme memorization degree. But everyone says Physics and Math are just useless theoretical degrees, but wait, engineering is just a dumb meme degree for cocky kids that don't actually care about science. So why not just go to vocational school and make money that way? Nope, tradesmen are brainlets who will probably lose their abdomens in a horrible machine accident at 30 anyway. Finance or econ? Boring desk job that will make you want to kill yourself, also you are Jewish. Liberal arts? FUCKIN LIBRULS. Biology? more like memeology.
You just can't fucking win with you people.

Nah, I'm good.
Fusion power research is objectively a waste of money, resources and time because it will never be cost-competitive with fission, let alone other energy sources.
The only viable long-term use for fusion is maybe a space colony around Neptune where heavy uranics simply cannot be found compared to lithium and deuterium.
The only reason people here like fusion is because it's "cool science XD" and they are kids who can't into cost-benefit analysis.
How do we put a stop to the fusion meme, /sci/?

If Heisenberg's uncertainty principal is real, then we can't know both the speed and the position of an object. But doesn't Godel's Incompleteness theorem imply that we can't know either anyway?
Fuck off with this maymayyyyyy
>>8523474
No it does not. The uncertainty principle applies to any properties of waveforms, you need to consider a wider window of it to learn more precise information, there's a limit to the simultaneous precision of the information and precision of the window you're measuring.
It has nothing to do with axiomatic completeness.
>>8523474
Heisenberg's bullshit principle is bullshit.
We know exactly the speed of light and we know where light is.
When you have a lightbulb and locate a light particle you also know its speed, C.
Is philosophy as tough as STEM subjects?

The degree by itself is easier to get than a STEM degree. However I would assume that doing philosphy could be harder because STEM has some sort of guielines and principles from where to start.

Not a professor, but one time my high school did this event where they took a bunch of kids from "lower level" math classes and put them into higher level math classes and vice versa for a day. Supposedly to get a glimpse into how math encompasses everything from really basic shit to really advanced shit or something, idk. Obviously this was a bad idea because suddenly there's a bunch of Basketball Americans listening to rap and monkeying around in calculus class and there's a bunch of nerds sitting in the middle of Compton downstairs.
Anyways, so during lecture over conics or something the black kids wouldn't shut the fuck up and kept being really distracting. The teacher wrote the sigma symbol on the board and one of the kids burst out really loud "the fuck is that thing?" The instructor had had enough and his spaghetti rocketed into orbit. He turned around and threw the eraser right at the kid's head and yelled "SHUT. THE FUCK. UP" really loud.
That was about the only time I had a teacher really lose his cool.
>>8520837

>>8520848
It's innuendo for black people. Black people in America tend to enjoy basketball, therefore in place of "African" American I said "Basketball" American
This is the joke.

If I take certain ADHD-meds like vyvanse/elvanse or ritalin but I don't actually have ADHD, does my brain or body take the same amount of 'damage' from the usage as someone who has it?
For example, say two people get the same side effects from vyvanse usage (worse circulation, less appetite), but only one of them actually has ADHD. Is this equality of effects the same on the brain level too?
The thought hit me because the effect of vyvanse is very different on those with the diagnosis (calmer)
>>8529511
>The thought hit me because the effect of vyvanse is very different on those with the diagnosis (calmer)
Generally the claim that CNS stimulants have different effects on persons with adhd compared to persons w/o is pure bullshit.
Moreover the psychiatry lit. is riddled with ad copy passed off as disinterested science and beset with bias toward publication of 'positive' results.
Modern militaries have known for something like 100 years that low dose CNS stimulants have universal effects.
>>8529511
ADHD is a myth
autism on the other hand isn't. stop overintellectualizing your emotional life just because you're too scared to get in touch with it, you fucking pussy. if you do drugs it's obvious that you will sustain some brain damage (likely a negligible amount for anything but higher cognitive functions, enjoy being a brainlet in the robotized post-labor world)
all in all, it's not worth it
>>8529511
>If I take certain ADHD-meds like vyvanse/elvanse or ritalin but I don't actually have ADHD, does my brain or body take the same amount of 'damage' from the usage as someone who has it?
People with ADHD take meds because of chronic hypoacitivty in catecholaminergic systems. Stimulants and reuptake inhibitors respectively mimic and normalize catecholamine levels in these people. As such, normal homeostatic mechanisms kick in to a lesser extent compared to 'normal' people. If you don't have ADHD, but you do take the meds, then after some extended time of use one would expect larger receptor retraction and reductions in gray matter volume* compared to people with ADHD.

i know there is a lot of wierd shit going around and im done being a pleb, i want to break free of the media grip and know whats really going on
im done fighting over stupid articles and asinine people, whatever the truth is i want to know but i dont really know where to look into
im not looking for validation, i need to know whats happening even if it means i have always been wrong please help me

/sci/ is primarily for shitposting.
fighting and stupidity are well represented here

So i was thinking about the big bang, and i was trying to use newtons 3rd law to visualize the 4th dimension, and it got me thinking.
Does the possibility of the big bang or an event of equal magnitue happening in this universe have to be 100%? Or can it not be recreated as it was manifested from the another dimension.
Or is the 4th dimension just an infinite number of overlapping 3rd dimensions?
I guess what I'm trying to ask, is if there is a law about bars being set in physics. Once something of a certain magnitutde exists or happens, it has to at least be possible again even if it is implausing.
I'm asking specifically because i want to know if the universe can just randomly be unmade.
>>8529345

Here is a partial list of William James Sidis' idiosyncratic and acultural behaviors:
>Utter disregard of sports and physical activities — learned from his father.
>Utter disregard of things monetary — learned from his father.
>Utter disregard for academia, academicians, academic bureaucracy and their 'titles.'
>Collected street car transfers. Knew most details of most routes in USA.
>Rabid atheist by age six. (His father, Boris, was too, but intensely studied great religious works.)
>His only fear was dogs.
>Learned to hate mathematics in grammar school; later at 7.5 years he started a life long love of math.
>Avid interest in politics.
>Dressed in Russian peasant clothes as a minor.
>On hearing a Bible read aloud, declared he didn't believe in that and didn't want to hear it.
>In school, only worked problems to which he didn't know answers.
>After 3 months in high school, parents withdrew him; teachers were relieved.
>Thinking was his chosen refuge from media antagonists.
>Essence of Billy Sidis: On page 106, of The Prodigy, Amy Wallace quotes Billy on his view of the perfect life, "I want to live the perfect life. The only way to live the perfect life is to live it in seclusion. I have always hated crowds." These sentences, in your reviewer's opinion, are an excellent micro-biography of mankind's finest known intellect.
>Celibate: Vowed never to marry. (One of his 154 rules for life.) "Women do not appeal to me."
>Considered traditional classrooms, 'stifling.'
>Billy was a pacifist, anti-war, conscientious objector.
>He was a reformed communist/socialist — eventually found both intellectually disgusting.
>Paradoxes were his logical specialty.
>>8529256
what paradoxes did he come up with?
>>8529264
Do your research. The best thing about Sidis is that he didn't do things to impress others or to advance mankind
He was so superior everyone else that he didn't need to impress the lot of human larvae.
He got marriage proposals from the top WASP New England females of his time, and rejected them. Not a slave of money, fame, pussy nor human larvae.
>>8529281
I tried google but couldn't come up with any paradoxes...
