The other day I was fooling arround with my Geiger counter and it started going tic tic tic tic, extremely high rad levels and the pointer was off the charts.
I started freaking out and no matter where I gone it wouldn't stop so I went to a hospital and told the doctor I what was going on, I was crying and afraid to die, turns out that the counter was simply broken and I was embarassed because I had wet my pants in front of a cute nurse.
Post your /sci/ related stories.
Or maybe you encountered a small radiation packet from an industrial metal waste and thats what the gieger counter caught and you will die shortly from aplastic anemia :^)
>>8322650
hahaha what the fuck
>>8323168
Nukeshill is trying to condition people into thinking that worrying about radiation is retarded. Ignore and hide the thread.
How do I into von Neumann mode? I already got the overeating habit covered
Next step is to be shit at maths.
First you need to be born into a very rich family, as well as being born with natural talent. Next you get the best available tutors and have no expense spared toward you as you pursue your hobbies. At this point you should join one of the world's most prestigious schools aimed at fostering a new generation of elites. Internalize your motivations, and never stop trying to attain more knowledge

I'm a mathematician, but looking at a lot of important PDE's from mathematical physics I noticed that a lot of them (for example, Laplace, Poisson, Helmholtz, wave, diffusion, scalar potential, Klein-Gordon, Shrödinger) are linear equations.
Can someone give some physical reason as to why?
>>8322515
Because physicists are sexist and only study straight pole linear equations where feminine curved equations are ignored.
>>8322515
because non-linear equations are hard.
Also cause variational principles
Is it just because they are constructed as simplifications or there is a deeper reason?
are there any good sci-fi series out there, lately?
recently i got hooked on "the expanse" but hell, where did that genre go?
(appart from shitty productions with political correctness aka "we need at least a homosexual and a black on the cast and make the targeted audience 12-16)
any good recommendation and in case you didn't watch it: watch it. (it's even close to the books)
>>8322510
It won't return until 2017.
Nothing else much of note really.
The Strain is fairly okay, but different genre (horror with some medical sci-fi.) Everything has gone further and further into the pleb realm and sci-fi is really taking a backseat for the most part. 1 or 2 good shows or movies is basically nothing in a sea of piss. Even the remake of the Andromeda Strain wasn't good; fucking remakes man.
>>8322519
so I am at least not the only one who noticed.
not sure if I can wait all until january..
>>8322525
Try "Stranger Things", it is more fantasy with some sci-fi. It is good, but nothing sci-fi like the Expanse.
Hey guys, so I'm taking differential equations and I feel like such a dumbass cause I got stuck on this integral. How would I go about evaluating this? I know it's integration by parts but that thing just turns into a monster.
>>8322417
just integrate it by parts, family
The integral of [math]1/f(x) = f(x)^{-1}[/math] is [math]0[/math].
>>8322417
[math]\int\frac{1}{e^{2x}+4}dx=\frac{1}{4}\int\frac{1}{(\frac{e^x}{2})^2+1}dx[/math]
Which will be an arctan(u) integral...
why are most scientists Christians?
Because they are smart?
Because they wore a fedora anyway.

I love to code but I find CS shit extremelly boring.
I'm really talented for math but I find it extremelly boring and rather learn music or drawing or humanities.
I need some motivation to help me pick software engineering rather than literature.
You hardly ever encounter math in undergrad CS courses. It's pure code monkeying all the way, just like the memes suggest.

No, get out of my major.

Could you be the "the best" in your field given an arbitrarily large amount of time?
im the bes ´t in the field of shitposting by usinh an arbitrarily small amoutnt of time
Given 1000 years, I would know more than any other person on the planet, but my IQ would stay the same, and thus I'd have hard time coming up with my own contributions to the field. So no.
10,000 hours.
>These books place a new emphasis on behavior and designing in deliberate practice to get to extraordinary performance. Ericsson (1990)1 says that it takes 10,000 hours (20 hours for 50 weeks a year for ten years = 10,000) of deliberate practice to become an expert in almost anything.
Keep in mind those hours only count when you're in fact being productive or operating with maximum efficiency. Sitting in you chair rocking back and forth while you struggle with a concept or procrastinate doesn't count.

MATLAB or python for an aspiring mechanical engineer?

Either really
Probably VBA or python, not everyone uses matlab
What does /sci/ think of Malvika Joshi?
She's some 17yo poo-in-loo that got into MIT on a full scholarship, and she dropped out of school not even attending high school. The only thing she has to her name is 2 silvers and a bronze at the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI). She took graduate-level courses at the Chennai Mathematical Institute (CMI) though, so I assume she could've requested for an honorary bachelors if she wanted to.
This really made me think about home-schooling in general, and if it's actually viable as a method of teaching as she definitely knows more than the average 17yo.

with homeschooling you get a more personalized education and can advance further.
on the other hand you risk that your child will not be well adjusted in this world and you have to spend a lot of time and money to make sure your child has all the factors needed to grow up well adjusted and normal.

I'm an ENTJ, it only took me about a year to stop being socially retarded when I went to college.
never had a gf but that's to be expected of someone who spends too much time on 4chan
>>8321804
well its not by the number of posters who respond to your shit-tier bait thread before it gets deleted and you get banned, if thats what you were thinking OP...
>>8321804
You don't because it's not a thing, it's an abstraction of behavior.
this is like knowing there's two possible answers, but choosing to pick a 100% wrong answer instead.

No one believes that this series is equal to 1/2. It's non-convergent meaning it can't be represented by a number.
>>8321810
> it can't be represented by a number
Yeah it can. It just doesn't converge to a number
