>Fun science XD!
Why do lay people pretend to understand or have any passing interest in science when they probably have no knowledge of basic scientific concepts. Pop-""""Science""" videos like these irritate me to no end as a student who's spent 17+ years of his life dedicated to actually studying scientific theory in detail

If science people are so intelligent, why are they so anti-nihilistic? Surely if they were so smart, they'd understand the meaningless of the universe, and as a result would be too apathetic for STEM, right?

nihilistic people do not spread their genes.
they may be right, but it's irrelevant.

Because they are normies

The word "nihilism" doesn't mean what you think it means.

What is "spin" in particle physics?
Each time I ask a physicist, they start off with confidence but end up confusing themselves.

Is the direction of which a particle is spinning.
Imagine when you spin a ball, or how the earth spins, it's exactly the same.

He's fine and probably a pretty smart guy. His job is to explain technical things to the general public, which naturally tends to come off as dumbing-down, and I don't pay much attention to him. I wish there were science entertainment shows targeted at the college level.

I don't like eating. I am too busy, I don't like spending the money, and I don't ever have an appetite to eat anything, ever.
Why can't I just live off sugar, milk and vitamins?
Why can't I just put 1000 calories of sugar with 1000 calories of milk, throw in some powdered vitamins / minerals, and live off of it for the rest of my life?
I would be reaching all vitamin, mineral, macro nutrient, and caloric requirements, so what would be the problem(s) with this diet? What non-imaginary factors am I not accounting for, if any at all?

-Extracurricular Activities: JCL, Science Club President, Founder and President of High School's Chess Club, Academic Team, Film Club, Art Club, History Club (All of these clubs are why GPA is so low)
-At least 4 Stellar Rec Letters
-Can write killer essays
-Lots of AP Classes w/ good grades in most
-Can conjure up sob story about Mother's death, etc.

Not to hurt your feelings, but not a fucking chance in hell.

Scores are too low. Have you done anything significant? E.g. Won a national award for science, won a robotics competition, etc.
>>
>>7882613
No. I had a 3.4, 33 ACT, state Tennis player, plenty of extracurriculars and volunteer work, APs and rec letters and I didn't even get into CalPolytech.
And don't write college essays about your mother's death, they don't want to read that.

How would I go about solving this? I don't necessarily need to express y as a function of x but the general solution would be accepted.
I understand it's a homogenous equation, I was able to split it up into two separate integrals but I can't see a clear method of integration without it getting really messy.

their just like fractions you move them around and get xdx= (x+y)dy and you integrate those
>>
>>7879177
Separation of variables
>>
>>7879177
do the division
x/x+y, x cancels out. d/dx = y

I have a two legit questions.
Does /pol/ actually believe we can't tell they are from /pol/ when they make their topics?
Secondly, are these topics just troll attempts, or does /pol/ actually expect /sci/ to give legit answers to the pseudoscientific /pol/ topics?
would science progress a lot faster if we barred anyone who doesn't have a 150 IQ and a near perfect academic record?
Hopefully this should get rid of the current publish or perish culture as we have too many shit papers by subpar academics vs quality ones

Why don't you just say you have never worked in research, but are fresh out of highschool and just loooove mathematics and want to be a professor?

there is no progress in science. can you take a course on philosophy of science, instead of displaying your faggotry ?
What does /sci/ think of Christian Science?
