MY STUPID FUCKING MATHEMATICS COURSE REQUIRES ME TO SEND HALF OF MY HOMEWORK PRINTED OUT, FILLED IN, SCANNED, SENT TO MY E-MAIL, DOWNLOADED TO MY COMPUTER, THEN SENT TO MY TEACHER. BECAUSE OF THIS BULLSHIT, I ACCIDENTALLY SENT ONLY ONE OF MY HOMEWORK PAGES TO MY INSTRUCTOR. NOW I CAN'T TAKE IT BACK.

I'm going to try to get medication for my ADD symptoms. Should I go to a psychiatrist or a general physician for this?
>>8312431
general physician
>>8312439
That's what I was thinking as well. It begs the question of what is even the point of psychiatrists then?
>>8312443
I go to my psychiatrist for my schizophrenia meds. they specialize in it

Same, the many tests I solved all gave me 135-140. I still struggle with maths and physics. Fuck this shitty life. Fucking average at everything. Don't excel anywhere. Not handsome, not smart, not rich.

That's what I did. It's pretty nice.

Amazing.
>>8312180
so you agree with it?
It depends on what you're looking for. For the past two to three hundred years "new" theories have more refined old theories than thrown them out directly, if you view science as a set of techniques for modelling reality (the inductivists' preferred interpretation) then the problem goes away.
This is the dominant trend in physics right now, stemming from Arizona's "modelling physics" programme.

riddle me this, i lived in victoria b,c my whole life and across the way is port Angeles over 36 Miles away - Nasa says the horizon is 3 miles away and being able to see this should be impossible - and im talking you can see beach level to the other beach - can someone care to explain that?
>>8311914
If earth were flat there'd be no horizon at all, you big dumb ape.
>>8311914
If I'm standing on mount everest I can see for hundreds of kilometers, but NASA says the horizon is 3 miles away, explain that atheists?
What tools are needed to interact with protozoans?
I need to be able to move them (tiny syringe?) and possibly manipulate them in other ways.
What tools or methods would I use to interact with creatures so small?
Anyone? I'm sure a biology student could answer this for me.
Are you fuckers just busy posting memes?
I guess my mistake was thinking that /sci/ was actually about science.
I also made the mistake of thinking /g/ was about technology and all I got was "install gentoo! xD"

Do electrons actually disappear and reappear on a different energy level or are they moving at the speed of light and the distance is too small to detect it?
>>8311896
They move much slower than light and can be detected just fine. The reason for the orbital model is that the movement of electrons is not linear, meaning that you can't predict their position the same way you can with a flying ball. That's why you use statistical models to say how high the probability is of them using a certain path.
>>8311896
Yep.
>>8311954
>movement not linear
so velocity is not constant? so they get accelerated and decelerated a bunch?
When did you realise that a PPE degree from Oxford or Economics degree from LSE was worth more on an intellectual level than a maths or physics degree from anywhere ranked 10 or below?
>>8311848
I haven't had a chance to learn it, because I go to a top 10 global university
I do wish 19 years olds on this board would stop with these threads. Grow up.
Nobody cares mate. If you want to do anything that's actually intellectually rigorous, you'll be doing it at PhD level. Undergrad courses are the same whether they're taught at Harvard or bumfuck community college.
hey /sci/
I need help with an idea.
1) How do you measure the strength of a solid metal orb within the vacuum of space that is spinning faster and faster? If it is solid would it collapse in on itself eventually, even though it is solid?
2) If you replace the solid metal orb with a liquid metal orb(still spinning faster and faster), how would you measure at which point it would reach its maximum potential to retract in on itself? Or would it not retract and instead spread out?
>>8311745
It would spread out, right? Why would it contract? The gas giants actually bulge out at the equator, right?
>>8311745
i wouldn't collapse in on itself ever. spinning causes perceived outward forces as the molecular bonds attempt to change the direction of a moving object. when the forces of attraction are no longer strong enough, the orb will scatter outward tangential to its location on the sphere in the direction of rotation.
Even some rocky planets have a slight bulge at their equators do to this effect. It will not collapse.

Shut up, Freshman.
Black holes have infinite mass and density yet scientists tell us they can 'grow'.
Checkmate physicists.
Most information about black holes is hypothesized since we lack theories dealing with quantum gravity.
Also, the event horizon is growing. The singularity is the middle has in fact infinity infinite mass and density.
>>8311504
>Black holes have infinite mass
And theres your mistake
>>8311741
This.
d= m/v
Black holes have finite mass, 0 volume, infinite density.
According to our current understanding they're a divide by zero error in spacetime.
More information is needed to explain how/why/what.
Infinity = 0.
You can not prove me wrong.
If I ask you to show me 3 you can take out three crayons and line them up to demonstrate.
You can do the same with any other number BUT if I asked you to show me infinity you wouldn't be able to show me by lining up your crayons. The same goes for 0. Therefore they are equal
>>8311384
Interesting. This actually works rather well in a universe that is cyclic. You go infinitely far then you end up where you started.
This would immediately fix a lot of problems in theoretical physics.
Infinity isn't real
maths can't go on forever, you'll hit a limit, either by running out of matter to calculate/display the number or you'd run out of time saying/reading it
i wonder what the last number possible is though
>>8311393
what would Zeno say?
