Any of you use this?

Good for Mathematics, OK for anything else. Textbooks are (obviously) better.
>>8293822
Me. It's pretty good up to a certain point.
After that it's preferable to just study from somewhere else.
Yes. It's a great way to refresh math concepts, and even better when doing it with someone else. I don't know about the other sections, but the math modules do what they intend to do.
Hi. I heard gold comes from the degradation of another transuranium element. Which one?
I thought this was the science board. nobody can help me?
I'm no expert but I don't think anything degrades into gold. Nuclear transmutation allows you to make gold from say lead but that doesn't really happen naturally.
Gold is made in the 2nd+ generations stars.
>>8293867
gold and lead are very similar and lead comes from uranium so gold must come from another transuranic element
Do you really believe that we can all think and understand sciences ?
Regardless of IQ which is still proven inaccurate, concretely we know that some people can't into math or physics but I've always believed that these people are experiencing a "residual ignorance", because they hadn't been paying attention before or because they forgot basic principles to understand a theorem, as science (s) is based on simple theorems to greater ones. My idea was that they only needed to fill a gap of knowledge, or to pay attention during classes, etc.
But nowadays I beg to differ.
My question is : Are we as equal before knowledge ? Do we have the same power of thinking as another human being ? Are we all able of understanding logic ?
Do you think that ultimately, regardless of social classes, diet, education, discipline, teacher and the will to learn, we can all reason equally ?
I'm aware of neurosciences and I'm into neuropsychology, which has taught me a lot of what a damaged brain can make on someone's logic, but they only affect the cognitive functions, meaning the ability to receive information, not the ability to process it.
What are some sciences truth about, /sci/ ?
>>8293587
btw I know that there's already this one but I think it's similar and not the same question there.
Plus asking another question in a thread wouldn't get me any answer.
> regardless of IQ which is still proven inaccurate
It's one of the most tested, statistically reliable and valid concepts in the social sciences.
Come on.
>>8293973
>one of the most tested, statistically reliable
>social sciences.
That's not really much of an accomplishment considering the field as a whole.

How difficult is studying Astronomy in University?
I just noticed that to study a Bachelor of Science with a major in Physics has an entry requirement that I meet. I've always been really interested in Space, but never thought I'd get good enough grades to get into a course for it at a University.
>>8293666
Are you interested in space, or are you interested in astronomy?
I'm doing a placement at Manchester Uni doing astrophysics. It's shite, it's more computer programming than anything, just droning through coding programs for meaningless astroshit. 0/10 do not recommend, there's better physics out there
Would it not benefit humanity in the long run, considering we know more about evolution than ever, if we had a form of "science based" government that forced the "elites" or the "alpha genetic" individuals to mate so we can control our evolution to make us as humans smarter/stronger in the etc... In the future of our evolution? Just I thought
Sorry bad English
Just let the chinks genetically engineer 250 IQ superhumans. Us non-engineered subhumans need not breed at all.
>>8293651
The idea of genetic determination is pretty much taboo. Eugenics is seen as a massive violation of human rights (even if victimless) and there's a drive to focus on some common human essence that is somehow still disconnected from genes, regardless of capability, and level the field (remove hindrances, slacken standards, control language) for those less able rather than celebrate those more able.
These are the times (in the West). Check your privilege.

You do realize that Bell's experiments prove nothing, right? They have so many assumptions they're completely invalid.
>>8293586
Its fun to believe in magic though
>>8293586
Could we pretend that this isn't a bait thread because I'm genuinely interested.
Is there some resource that I could look at for an upper-year undergrad physics student which would explain Bell's theorem in detail? I've even looked at the original paper but to be honest I'm too lazy to go through it myself, it's a bit too dense.

I accidentally got a computer science degree. What are some good masters degrees? Can I do a masters in engineering?
I don't want to work. Thanks /sci/.
1. Machine Learning
2. Data Science
3. Bioinformatics
bait
>>8293537
Start working a masters will not really benefit you unless it's in a specific career direction and even then you're better off getting it after you've started that career
Why is /sci/ so slow? I want to discuss science faster.
>>8293512
real scientists dont discuss on a forum for autistic kids
>>8293520
some of them do.
The science and math board of this Lithuanian faberge egg collecting forum is somewhat sparsely populated.

How do I deal with being a descendant of brainlet stock /sci/?
>>8293511
>descendant of brainlets
wrong, that's being a descendant of poor and unlucky people.
There's nothing to be ashamed of since it isn't your fault and it probably wasn't their fault as well.
Be proud of who you are, who you made yourself to be and how your parents helped you with that (if they did) despite their lack of education.
>>8293511
Keep in mind how much your parents should mean to you dude, I know this is 4chan but let's just be honest. You're lucky to have parents, a lot of people don't.
>>8293540
what the fuck are you even talking about?
why should it mean something to him?
There's literally nothing wrong with murdering your own parents if you have a valid reason.
Being ashamed of your family for status reasons though and you should kill yourself.
Judge your parents based on their character/beliefs/behavior, not income and formal education level. For fuck's sake.
Isn't it pretty much a certainty that theres some kind of life inside the Galilean moons?
There's nothing there. Deal with it.
>>8293422
no.
But it's also not a certainty that there is not some kind of life "inside" Europa
>>8293422
not at all. We don't know really, we have to go there to find out.

implying we wont either:

2. copy human brains into 1
