>Was he really a great scientist? Or he is remembered mostly for his sassiness?

Both. They;re not contradictory.

He actually was pretty damn good.

>tfw no measure on continuous path spaces but path integrals work anyway
Big fuck you to mathematicians.

sassy science man of his day

>>8496507
No.

t. someone who's seen a guy with lung cancer use it and die

Bumping for a reply

>>8496511
What was the dosage amount he was taking

Basically what I did. Except it was CS+Data Science.
Now I can work anywhere doing anything.

>studying cs
>ever
Good joke, anon.

>>8495667
it's pretty good at a top 5 university, anywhere else though I wouldn't be doing it

>>8495134
Yeah well tell me where does a circle start?

Or where do numbers start?

Or if it didn't exist forever, what was that stuff before it? Or if it didn't exist forever, what caused it to form?

You are asking too easy questions. Move forward.

of our current understanding of the universe, as I am to understand it, there must've always been some medium of existance, even though virtual particles can spontaneously come into existance, and spacetime itself can expand, there still needs to be some basis of reality that has existed perpetually. Perhaps time wasnt even a factor of the universe until a bakers dozen of billions of years ago.

Can the universe collapse, or does it expand continuously forever? If the universe could collapse, then wouldn't it be possible that the universe itself has gone through infinite phases of collapse and expansion?

Why is engineering before physics?

For what? A lot of less prestigious schools outrank ivies in certain fields when it comes to grad schools but it varies by department.

>>8495014
A good grad school for which field?

artificial magnetic field

what about 1969, how NASA protected the astronauts back then???

>when
from childhood b/c both parents have the degree

>what happened
I passed my courses, seminar, qualifying exam, and published three first author papers in a pretty good journal and then dropped out of a PhD program b/c I'm "mentally ill".

Now I'm unemployed, drink heavily, and shitpost.
(No I will not provide additional information.)

>(No I will not provide additional information.)
not even your field of study?

>>8493576
>Who here has (...) a Ph.D
Yup.
>when in your life did you decide you were going to pursue one?
At the end of my Bachelor's I suppose, though it wasn't a decision that was made at one point in time but rather one that evolved over some time. I sort of just rolled into science.

I did a long internship at the end of my Bachelor's, and over the course of that project I realized I actually like doing science (neuroscience). I continued with a research Master's program, got a job as a research assistant during that program, and my boss at the time recommended me to one of her collaborators who was looking for a PhD student. I applied, got the job, and that was that. Now I'm a post-doc.

My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, 'If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.'. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- 'Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 28, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because this thread gave me cancer anyway.

>What went wrong, /sci/?

They thought a guy from the 17th century was correct.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck no.

And heck, I probably would not even teach university students unless I could teach a room of Dr. Terence Tao's wife's sons who would immediately get concepts and wouldn't ask me dumb shit.

I would teach them to fuck but that's about it.

i wouldnt make a good job

Mmm, pancakes.

So what happens if you upload your mind to a computer? Does your consciousness transfer over or is it copied and you're killed on the human end?

>>8496285
Your subjective experience does not carry over to a copy of your brain

Well, it sure as hell didn't happen overnight.

>>8496168
How did "what" "is" "a" "point" "to" "the" "there" "that" come to have the definitions that they have?

>>8496031
What the fuck? There is no ''highest possible thing'' to think about. People just are drawn to different things, by nature or nurture I don't know.

>>8496031
>What is the highest possible idea/question man can contemplate?

The one you subjectively value the most.

This is the most autistic thread I have ever seen on /sci/

the infinite monkey theorem says that an ape that tips infinetly often on a keyboard will eventually write every book there exists. to proof that you can calculate the probability of pushing a button and then define a sequence of finite blocks (a book has finite letters) of independent incidences (that a letter is typed). those blocks are independent and the infinite sum of their probability converges to infinity. then the lemma of borel-cantelli gives you the result that the monkey will type every book (even) infinitely often almost everywhere with probability 1 (100%). since convergence almost everywhere is a very strong expression you might say that it is "100% true".

It's not just that the infinite monkey theory writes Shakespeare once. They write Shakespeare an infinite number of times.
