Lets hope they're benevolent overlords.
It's obvious the transhuman revolution will happen in east Asia. You better prepare.
My chinese lessons start in January. Why aren't you learning Chinese?

If you had the ability to 100% memorize and understand inside and out every textbook in your undergraduate curriculum would you be on the same level as a professor of that field?

its true that a book is the authors ideas on paper (in case of some great novels such as 1984 or 451), but the case for academic textbooks that are meant to compile internet information into textbooks, so no, you will be not be smarter than your professor.

Is there an *undergraduate mathematics* field?
Having an eidetic memory would surely help you though.

Let's talk QFT /sci/. Say I have a Lagrangian [eqn] \sum _{ j = 1 } ^{ 2 } \left [ \frac { 1 } { 2 } \partial ^{ \mu } \phi _j \partial _{ \mu } \phi _j - \frac { 1 } { 2 } m^2 _ { j } \phi ^2 _{ j } \right ] + \frac { \lambda } { 6 } \phi _1 ^3 + \frac { g } { 2 } \phi_1 \phi _2 ^2 [/eqn] And I need to compute the 4-point correlation function [eqn] \langle 0 | T \left [ \phi _1 ( w ) \phi _1 ( x ) \phi _2 ( y ) \phi _2 (z) \right ]| 0 \rangle [/eqn] Basically, how do I compute it? I've found the generating functional, [eqn] Z=e^ { \mathcal{ L }_0 + J_1 \phi _1 + J_2 \phi _2 } [/eqn]Is it now just a case of acting on it with [eqn] \frac { 1 } { i } \frac { \delta } { \delta J_1 ( w ) } \cdots Z[J] [/eqn] But I'm pretty lost at this point, which is annoying me since it seems like one of the easier parts, but it's the one I'm having the most difficulty with.

you started off by asking a good question and then proceeded to delve into deeper and deeper levels of inchoate shittery. Shame on me for thinking we might be able to discuss some SICK ontology

Energy is the ability for a force to displace an object a certain distance isnt it? And forces are vector fields. So energy is the displacement in a vector field. I think

Thread for batshit insane but theoretically workable ideas for solutions to global warming
My own:
>Invent a solar powered light panel: solar panel on one side, room light on the other, programmable maximum brightness
>Calculate the greatest area of these panels we can build with all the nonvital resources on earth
>Build that many
>Connect them in a spherical network covering the entire planet at the altitude where the ozone used to be
>Program them to filter out as much of the energy they absorb as the ozone would if it were still intact
>Energy filtered out drifts back into space as light and/or heat

Yeah, before 0% of blacks got into university because it was illegal for them to have an education.
Now like 10% do because they are allowed to have an education.

Nah, more like 10% +-5% but they hide it well because they don't want to look like autists and never have a gf
Just look at financefags at /biz/, they work with some company but they will just talk about investments instead of formulas and shit since that's part of their job but they still like it (i think)
Get into math clubs but there's a risk of too many autists to handle for you

Honestly that's kinda what makes the world fun. I love people who like to have fun. The world would be boring as fuck if everyone had the exact same interests and goals.

For what end? If you are thinking about taking it up you should ask professors. I'm guessing you are in high school so you can also ask your science teachers about it.

What would happen if I were right outside the event horizon of a black hole, stuck my arm past the event horizon, and tried to pull it back out?
Assume my body is tethered to something far away from the hole so I couldn't actually be sucked in.

your arm would be ripped off
Even if your arm would be of the strongest metal known to man (diamond), it would be torn apart at the sub-atomic level. There is no rescue once it's passed the event horizon.

You probably wouldn't feel anything. It's just a surface where even light can't escape.
