>Sarkar had accused the victim of stealing his computer code and giving it to someone else, according to police.

Would you kill your professor took the source code from your PhD project and gave it to another student?

Apparently the pooinloo was really shit and the professor guided him after hours to just make him pass courses.

I've met people like this at uni and they just never fucking learn.

"Spooky action at a distance".

2 particles are involved in quantum entanglement and when one is measured the state of the other particle is instantly known, sure. But I really don't understand why this is considered spooky or strange. Why can't these particles ALWAYS be opposites, regardless of anything? Is it so weird to be able to see what side of the coin is facing the floor when you toss it?

For starters, action at a distance was resolved a long time ago, with the introduction of the force field to physics.

Entanglement is peculiar because the moment the state of one particle is determined, the probabilistic nature of the other is "collapsed" and it's state is known as well. The surprising part is that if the particles are physically separated, it doesn't seem as if there is any time delay between the two measurements. In other words, they happen instantaneously. That really just means that no signal or wave or whatever is being sent from one particle to another.

It's not that startling really. But our inability to explain it properly says a lot about the interpretation of quantum theory and how phenomena like this give rise to the phenomena of large-scale systems.

>>8112079
If you have a signal apparently travelling faster than light its pretty startling

Bonus: What's /sci/'s opinion on Terra forming? Is it a good idea? or would domed and floating cities be a better idea, hypothetically saying we would have levitation technology

I'm self-studying and completing the exercises. This text doesn't have any solutions to the proofs and even though I'm confident I'm doing some of these problems correctly I have no way of knowing 100% if I made a mistake somewhere.

This can give the reader a false sense of security they are doing the exercises correctly without validating their work.

Why are math textbooks like this?

Because they expect you to buy a solutions manual. Also most students are lazy and would just copy the answers.

>Stars, planets, and gas make up only 5 percent of the Universe. The rest is 25 percent dark matter and 70 percent dark energy, both of which are invisible and have never been directly detected.

This theory sure gets trotted out as immutable fact a lot lately. When will science admit that cosmology is just plain broken?

>Stars, planets, and gas make up only 5 percent of the Universe
Correction: observable matter only holds 5% of the total energy content of the Universe. The rest is divided into matter which we cannot see, and an energy density of free space which drives the accelerated expansion of spacetime.

is neuroscience a meme? is it actual science? my friend told me any field with the word "science" in it is not actually science and just pretending to be. Is this true? For example politcal science, computer science are not science.

im interested in neuroscience but only want to join a real science and not get ridiculed

lol, what a good rule of thumb. Haven't heard that one yet, thanks op.

You should do you want though regardless of what /sci/ thinks. Just make sure your investment pans out (for some just gaining that knowledge is enough for it to pan out, but obviously monetary compensation is desirable//necassary
>>
>>8109193
Well, by that logic, physics, chemistry and biology aren't sciences either since they are physical sciences and life science accordingly. How about you read up on what neuroscience is and decide for yourself? Also, I've heard so many people tell me they are interested in neuroscience it's not even funny. Neuroscience is a subfield of biology. Are you interested in biology? Do you know anything about it?

If you trust your friend's dumb definition, you probably won't succeed in science anyway, so don't bother.

what is the difference?

>>8107700
I mean instead of [math]y=mx + b[/math] why is it not [math]x=\frac{y-b}{m}[/math] the more popular form. Or maybe even something else
>>
>>8107697
>>8107704
because it's exactly the same.
If I'm looking for y, I'd rather have y=mx+b
if you're looking for x, you'd rather have y/m - b/m
and I can argue that my y is your x.
