how do you know the speed of a plane if you cant see the pilot
its irrelevant

>>8521532
We can actually see the pilot. It doesn't add up you brainlet.

>two things move close to the speed of light in opposite directions
>they're actually moving faster than the speed of light relative to each other
Explain this.

you know you can just google random universities and look at their curricula right?

>>8521229
I want to talk and discuss with you guys though.
But whatever.

Maths and physics first year here.

My uni recently re wrote their course so I dunno the courses in my following years.

>>8520102

please post a more interesting/challenging version of this question, theres already one down on page 4 and it didnt get many comments. plus seen this question like 100 times even before now.

>>8520124
I'll take that as a no.

Didn't think so either. Psychology is all soft and wishy-washy, while actual science prickly and sharp; it has a tactful precision that psychology could never compete with.

Science is hard facts, while psychology is mere feels.

>>8520102
It's a field of study that can be approached scientifically, or otherwise. A psychologist isn't a scientist, but the reverse can be true.

Pretty sure he's still much smarter than a vast majority of smart people.

General populations have mostly increased in intellect (first world). Geniuses are probably happening more frequently, but I don't think we've made a huge leap in ability.

Given all the tools and information of today, I wonder how Issac would have performed.

>>8519799

But what about our top guys

our top guys would smoke the floor with Newton or Leibniz or the great intellectuals of the 17th, 18th century

Would we?

>>8519801
Hard to say. I think people are far more specialized these days. So their brilliant in their fields, but not so much in others.

>>8519694
Essentially states that you need 12 dimensions to have a massless particle....

>Like when, why and how does it appear in string theory, and what does it explain?
It's a metaphorical concept.
Left hand-side you have *too much*.
Sometimes, when you are greedy, karma punishes you (right hand-side).
>He that wants all, will embrace nothing.

There are certain times when you're describing something mathematically where you run into an expression like a sum. It turns out that there are certain functions that let you assign a value to that expression that somehow mathemagically still works in the original mathematical description.

In some cases, that expression is a sum, and you assign a value (that is NOT the convergent value of the sum) to that sum. The Riemann zeta function is an example of this. Normally, the Riemann zeta function isn't actually defined for real numbers, but with some mathematical tricks you can extend the domain of the function into the reals, and you get the result of -1/12. Then, in any mathematical model that includes a sum of reals, you can substitute the value -1/12 and it just kinda werks.

String theory is one example of a case where you run into infinite sums of the reals and you can apply this method to simplify the sum into a single value.

Consider mass as stored energy. The more that mass is converted to energy, the higher the net temp of the system.

Why did I hate thermodynamics? I genuinely tried to enjoy it.

>>8519631
Same. Just took thermo 1 final yesterday. Some it was awesome, but the book we use for thermo 1-2 is shit and the professor taught us from it but didnt test us from it.

We will biologically infuse our soft tissues with lead, protecting us from a vast array of radiation. This evolution will be spurred by our move from Earth to Mars, this new species will be: Homo sapien Martius.

Hmm invisible rays of deadly energy that make you sick and usually end in a miserable painful death. What's not to like.

>>8518329
People fear what they do not know/understand.

>>8518336

People expose themselves to unnecessary dangers while trying to convince themselves and others they have some special ability to understand and appreciate a number of dangers including those posed by ionizing radiation.

Of course it's just a miserably misdirected attempt to obtain social status that only ends up giving them testicular cancer at some point.

What I'm trying to say is that you're dumber than the dumb people that are afraid of ionizing radiation, because at least they have a working heuristic, while you've got nothing besides a distorted understanding of the underlying mechanisms and enough desperation to expose yourself to unnecessary danger.

One of the doctors told me to do five pushups and the heart rate jumped to 130+ (she just used stethoscope). I'm not really in good physical condition, but I can do 30 in one go.

It's really high. If your blood pressure is normal, your heart probably pumps less blood per cycle compared to people people, thus it needs more cycles to compensate.

high FT4?

I have low FT4 level and my bpm is around 35-40. The max I can get is 178 while riding my bike at 58 km/h on a flat surface.

Caffeine is a piece of shit of a chemical.
If there's something wrong with you and starting drinking coffee made a difference then OK.
For anyone else, caffeine reduces cerebral blood flow significantly and hampers deep thinking.
I took up to 600 mg per day for experimentation and nothing interesting came out of it.
Fuck caffeine.

>>8517435
It's a guberment conspiracy. They're trying to control the population with caffeine, and the best way to do that is to make caffeine a socially acceptable drug to digest on the regular.

>>8517127
Who cares, fag? You're still a fag, no matter how much extra estrogen you consume.

No one's going to prove you wrong. /Sci/ is an intelligent board and understands the enormous fallacy of a round earth. It's one of the more accepted things around here, in fact.
