I would say once you have at least a bachelor's and working in a lab, or published, whichever comes first

t. undergrad shitter

When published.

>it would be in the interest of science to remove the social stigma of the hardsciences being for virgin-nerdy-males

the lie of egalitarianism makes you believe that anybody can do this science stuff.

since antiquity its always been a social minority that were the gatekeepers to civilization. thats not going to change just because you force feed textbooks to kids.

By a misty mountain slope.
A man of science meets a priest. The former demands the latter to abandon his dogmatic beliefs and join the pursuit of knowledge. Humans must unite he says. The priest refuses and laments the shallow wisdom of the scientist. Oil and water cannot become one.

I don't think they would be able to tell it was meant to be played due to severe lack of evidence. It's possible they might not even have a concept of playing games to begin with.

Professors have demanded wrong answers on tests but not in any meaningful context. Just shit like "What must Three-Horns never do?" and morally outraged questions about Hollywood chimps.

Iron is a pretty valuable material. I'm sure people with iron sulfate would consider this a waste of money/resources.

Experiments are well documented. Read.

You mean [0, 1]×{0, 1}?

Nah, nvm, I mixed my question with the proof of this theorem. What I meant was

Right. Check the exponentiation section, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinal_number#Cardinal_arithmetic

If anything, it'd be built from the moon to earth.

>>8316914

You mean a connection between the Earth to the Moon?

Disregarding the scale in question, how do you propose to have the Earth-side of the connection move across the planet to keep in place with the Moon?

i just payed 350 at the school bookstore for this, what a fucking rip off.

>>8316880
But it's not in SI right? Also why didn't you order online, they seem to max out at 250.

>>8316883
whats SI?

I always just walk to the bookstore and buy it if they have it. Saves me time and I get a head start on studying.

Intelligence is defined to be the ability to have cognitive abilities, or think. The word has been defined by us, so it's safe to assume that we're what we refer to. There's a difference between instinct and intelligence, a bird flys south for the winter because it knows it has to, and a computer follows code because it's designed to. If a bird or computer want to be intelligent, they need the ability to think for themselves, in these cases, an example would be a computer being to write their own code, and follow it.

>You're all smart folks here
Not all of /sci/ studies either math or physics.

>what the hell is intelligence anyway?
Ability to derive new information from old information.

>Is it a fixed, immutable quality?
Pretty much. You can temporarily boost it by using creatine (blood starts to better rush into your brain) or getting mild electric shocks to your brain, but the results are not that impressive.

>Are there multiple intelligences?
Of course there are. For example people who have had brain injury may sometimes lose some of their abilities while others stay. This indicates that all intelligence is not a single entity.

>Is it possible to substitute knowledge for smarts?
If you have a lot of information in your hands, you don't need to derive so much new information. So yes.

>>8316913
>What the hell is intelligence?
What's intelligence for you?

For me it's the high abstration ability the human being has. You can say it's immutable, but there are different types of POV lessons that each kid have more/less difficult to understand. This cirumstance makes defining intelligence more difficult.

I think there is a innate part of inteligence, which makes it easy to associate ideas, even though your learning skill depends of your mood, physical state, goals, anti-anxiety routines, association methods, etc...
A great example are kids geniuses who got their degree at the age of 15/16.

Most people can actually do a double Math/Physics degree. It's not that difficult, but there are some requisites people don't have:
-Strong math basis
-Physics overview
-Routine stablished

I personally found time for bussiness/public relations and my "hobbies", when I was studying for my degree.

I agree it's very difficult, specially if you got autodestructive habits. But I read started to read a lot of self-improvement books and efficiency-efficacy texts which made me understand better my past depression-anxiety cycle.

>Are there multiple intelligences?
No. I think there are multiple interests that people pursuit. If you have passion for something, often you will get good with that passion of yours. But most people let their habits sabotage their dreams.

> Is it possible to substitute knowledge for smarts?
I don't understand this question.

I'm not a scientist/chemist/whatever

I just like to play with them, where can I find some .cml?

I stopped caring about biochemistry when I was introduced to the concept of enzymes. What a crock of shit. If your reaction can only be completed by inventing random coils that don't exist, like some kind of life deity , then you are fucking wrong and the chemistry is flawed. Same for protein folding solutions that basically say "the correct answer is whatever the correct answer is". Thats what the thermochemistry said transcribed to words but god forbid if i wrote in down in english instead of the ancient greek runes the teacher word mark me wrong.

Biochemistry is logical and calorimetry never lies my ass. It is just as flawed as any other human construct.

The worst shit you can eat that doesn't get out of the body is sugar. It's more dangerous than smoking and alcohol.
