Study more outside of class (have more than one textbook per class), schedule my shit better, and finally talk to my professors more (casually and academically)

"Hey faggot,there's a thing called bitcoin. BUY EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM YOU CAN RIGHT GODDAMN NOW"

I would literally be a millionaire in a few years. Fuck year.

It really depends, but the most rigorous and applicable programs generally for CS understanding are C++ first for understanding and JAVA for monies. Even simpler to start with RUBY and PYTHON are good places to begin and also marketable.

Also be prepared to learn Mathematica, MATLAB, and potentially FORTRAN. But these are not starter programming languages, rather the standards in physics.

>>8330692
C++.

You'll likely need to know python and fortran, eventually.

>>8330652
Basically, kinda.

Why are so many threads on /sci/ the same stupid question threads that get five posts max and often have a silly cat image?

because the question is never given a satisfactory answer.

Fuck off brainlet

??

Don't you think fucking oxygen is more crucial here? I agree that all of them actually play some part in muscle contraction, but you have to be stupid not to figure out they meant sodium here. Just look at the options you have.

0, from the perspective of a photon, time doesn't exist

Photon's don't have reference frames

Compution by Students. Old technique.
Back in the day being a theorist studen was painful, nowadays it's perfect.

A fourier series is a way to represent a wave function by a series of simple sin functions.

For example take the sine wave, a single sine wave would be curvy. But if we combine many different sine waves we will get closer to a sawtooth function.

Fourier analysis is taking these more complicated functions, sawtooth, square, etc and expressing them instead as a collection of simple sine waves.

It's like Taylor series but for periodic functions.

google the philosophy of time. spend a week or two being thoroughly confused. then drop the subject.

Flow of time is illusion caused by our brain. Time doesn't flow forward, but our brains experience the time flowing forward. Our brains can only think in 3 dimensions, so we experience our life as 3-dimensional "slices" as "flowing" as linear order. In reality "past" and "future" are just directions. Everything that happens has already happened, and everything that has already happened is still happening, while actually nothing happens, but we are just observing the universive from different angles of 4th dimension.

We don't move to the "future" direction, but our location is static line in space-time axis. From the point which our birth to the point which is our death. And the line in between, is what our brain processes through.

>>8330270
Philosophy is cancer and has nothing to do with science. Basically the argument goes that the flow of time is an illusion created by our brain. However this has never been proven, also things inherently not under control of our brains behave as if time flows, and don't magically pop through the fourth dimension or some crap. Also we know from relativity that time isn't even linear and also is part of the fabric that makes up our universe and is not a figment of our brains.

So yeah, philosophy is pretty much fucking dead at this point.

Rage more, faggot. This shit happens all the time.

Basically I don't know why you expected to be able to ask questions when this shit is so common place.

I really hate it when the person who ask the questions do not even know what the fuck he is talking about.
It's like he didn't understand the material but pretend to do and ask questions, but everything came off unintelligible.

>>8330189
Try to at least talk him into calling it "indeterminate".

Nothing, Leibniz a shit. Real derivative functions are denoted by letters with apostrophes after them.

its a universe not a two-niverse

>>8330142
Because every space has a closure.

You can either understand or quantum mechanics, not both at the same time.
It's one of the postulates.

what type of understanding?

>>8329974
conceptual

>But in order for this to happen, named galaxys do need to suddenly expand with a speed greater than light, don't they?
yeah exactly.
Everything is not only expanding away from us, but speeding up as they do.

I'm just glad to be alive at a time when the universe is still young and we can still see everything. It's going to be a dark sky for the humans that survive until the end of the universe.

>Autocorrect fucked that up

I didn't know that, I assumed it gets slower. Thank you

We know *what* happens

Not *how*

The underlying mechanism is unknown

>>8329745
That depends on (a) the legitimacy of interpreting the quantum state of a physical system "realistically" and (b) the completeness of the quantum-mechanical description of the physical system. If these two conditions are satisfied, then we are obliged to accept a literal interpretation of the peculiarities of the quantum mechanical formalism (entanglement included!). The fact there exist quantum states of two-body systems which cannot be factorized into products of one-body quantum states means that there is objective entanglement of the two bodies, and hence a kind of holism. Furthermore, the fact that spatially well separated bodies can be entangled means that there is a peculiar kind of quantum nonlocality in nature, which is manifested in correlations of the outcomes of measurements performed upon the separated bodies.

You just used bunch of big words and said shit I already knew, retard.
