it's that when your eye sensors see the same thing for a longer period of time, they get used to it, so when it stops they start seeing the opposite.

when will they learn?
climatology is not a science, it cannot even make testable predictions.

>climatefags btfo , they are wrong LMAO
dude,science is all about try and error
they are trying to understand,nobody is capable of being right exactly every time.
As stated above,you know science is progressing when they are proving themselves wrong.
So please stop be an idiot and appreciate it.
>>
>>7948971
yes I do.

What I don't appreciate is using inaccurate models to predict things that are used as the scientific truth.
>>
>scientists-dont-thought
damn that's a diss of a URL

Anyway, they try. Much of human endeavors should be interpreted as a struggle against the impossible. Like how medicine tries to save the elderly, climatology tries to make predictions about an absurdly complicated system. In both cases the people involved know success will be limited.

Hmm... That kind of existentialist talk makes me want to study the numerical solution of stiff PDEs some more.

Okay. So. Someone was trying to argue with me that we NEED philosophy and owe all of science to philosophers. People whoften sat around and pondered existence and the universe. And of course that was useful back then but with modern technology and knowledge what use do we even have for it? We don't need to figure out "why we're here" to study evolution. I think modern philosophy is really stupid and it's just a bunch of people arguing and not getting anywhere. I don't think we need philosophy today tor progress our scientific knowledge TO A POINT WHERE we'd credit philosophy. Obviously we use logical thinking and what not, but was the moon landing thanks to philosophy or our awesome human minds being able to create what washe once the unthinkable. Also how does philosophy differ from science? I feel like philosophy just is over concerned with very trivial shit that we will NEVER BE able to prove

You say modern philosophy is stupid and then ask how it differs from science? You don't know the first thing about philosophy then. Your opinions on what it is, and its value are absolutely worthless.

More importantly, this is a math & sci board. Philosophy is only slightly related, and you whining about an argument is absolutely not related. Fuck off.
>>
Fantasic response. A true intellectual. I'm asking how philosophy different from science, what use (related to science) do we need for science, not as in ethics but say to study a species evolution. Where do they become separate.

Depends on the field. You're right in math, they usually don't. You need someone to take your hand and guide you (your advisor) or you'll just crash into problems which are bad / too easy / too hard.

But there are exceptions. People who have been working on something for a while or who, through recommendations or otherwise already had a topic before getting past the PhD quals might get to choose their topic.

Aside from all of this, you're a stupid insecure faggot for taking your butthurt angst to another thread just to vent. You're a joke.

If it were legal, how easy would it be to make humans see ultraviolet or infrared?
9 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
it isn't legal?
Anyway, real easy. Just have some very small computer that transforms the colors in an image such that wavelengths between 200nm and 1600 nm are compressed into 400nm to 800mn. Get some screen to put in front of your eyes, get camera('s) able to measure these wavelengths, and have fun.

Rewriting human genome is illegal basically everywhere

I'm pretty sure a whole lot of trial and error of gene splicing from other animals like bees which see UV might accomplish something

Thorium is radioactive but it would be too hard to get a chain reaction from it to make a nuclear bomb, but what if we develop it with something else? Or work on the chain reaction to change up how it works. Liquid Fluoride Thorium= Uranium-233 produced by thorium, Or thorium reactors? The prospect of cheap, safe energy? But then it's good that we do make uranium since we use up plutonium and authorium?

Hello /sci/
In my native language, there is oddly no difference between "calculus" and "mathematical analysis"
That is my question (yes its dumb)
What is analysis? How would you compare it to calculus? Is there significant overlap?

Pic untelated
7 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
>>7947019
Calculus is the high school version of analysis, i.e. some quick handwavy explanation of what a derivative and an integral are and then doing lots of exercises using algebraic rules of differentiation and integration. Analysis is about rigorously proving all this shit and recognizing general underlying principles.
>>
>>7947024

Then why is it that math majors even take calculus? Shouldnt they learn about everything in calculous through analysis?
>>
There is no difference really. Calculus is just practical application of analysis.

So in the first million digits of pi, '3391' occurs ~2.2x more often than '1067' does.

And in the next milion 1067 appears 3.1x more often than 3391

When using big numbers statistics is useless

Pi isn't big. It's less than 4 anon.
