And that is determining the value of a number divided by zero.

This is my solution:

>n/0 = (n/0)*

Thing about it. Why would a number (n) divided by zero give you infinity? It makes no logical sense and feeds into the fallacious meme of infinity which has no basis in reality.

Rather, it makes more sense if a virtual but equivalent identity from zero is created on the RHS (n/0)* to match the identity on the LHS in order conserve the identities. Something like virtual particles in particle physics do where conservation of energy is temporarily broken and matched simultaneously.

Obligatory, prove me wrong.

PS: apologies for the multiple thread deletions as I kept noticing my retarded typos

Should things like the theory of evolution and the germ theory of disease be called 'models' rather than 'theories'? Would I be wrong to clarify by using that word?.
Seems to me that neither of those is a truth claim per se, but both become one when used as an explanation for some specific disease for example.

>The Sun has fallen out of orbit and is going to crash into the Earth. Humanity has randomly chosen people to enter an underground nuclear shelter with enough food and provisions for the next 50 years until the Earth is habitable again, luckily you were picked.
>You are allowed to bring one scientific instrument with you.

Choose wisely /sci/...

Let [math] \mathscr{F} [/math] be a union closed family, i.e. for all [math] A, B \in \mathscr{F} [/math], the union [math]A \cup B[/math] is also in [math]\mathscr{F}[/math]. Does there always exist some element which is in at least half of the sets of [math] \mathscr{F} [/math]?

Go!

Has anyone used this textbook? Currently taking a class with it & it's useless for actually learning the material. Does anyone have other resources to learn this shit?

I have an idea for all the brainlets of /sci/, including me. I've been struggling with EE for quite some time now (closing down on my fifth year of studies, still didn't finish a 3 year BSc), and I don't want to drop out, but I'm going forward frustratingly slowly, because of this and that.

Now, I noticed that I stop going to the gym as soon as my lifting buddy can't go for whatever reason, so I've been thinking that it might actually be good to get a good study partner or even a study group together. But, being a sperglord that I am, I have a couple of friends and that's it. And I don't really feel like befriending 2-3 year younger peers, trying to organize a circlejerk.

So basically that's it. I want to see if there are enough sad fucks here like myself, who want to form a "support group" if you will, hang out together on irc or whatever, help each other with studying, befriending each other, finding textbooks online together. You get the gist, you know what a circlejerk is. Ideally, we would form a couple of muh sekret societies for all sorts of majors, as it's easier for a physicist to help a physicist, than it is for a biologist to help an engineer. But depending on how much of you guys are up for it, we'll see if it's viable to divide, or we can just be a study group, and everybody studies their own shit, others are there just to support each other and don't let distractions come in the way.

If you all think it's dumb, fuck it, it's dumb then. If not, let's organize something here. I won't be tripping up as I don't intend to act as a leader or an organizer, so my word has as much weight as anybody else's. Providing a couple, or many people are up for it.

So yeah, I didn't really write this upfront, so it probably resembles diarrhea of the mouth, also English is not my first language, but I think you get what I mean. What do you think /sci/, how dumb is this idea?
