What sports do STEM majors do? It seems there is a widespread stereotype that STEM majors are filthy virgins that just sit at home/hostel and crunch numbers and masturbate.

Why is there a multi company and international race for this?

Normal skate boards will always be better for tricks than hoverboards so there is no appeal for the teenager demographic.

I can assure you that no adult will ever use a hoverboard to go to their job or whatever, so there is also no mass adult appeal.

At best, the only demographic I can see buying this are college students who may use it to move around campus but college students are usually tight in money and very vew will waste money on shit like this when they could just walk.

Has ANY company done any kind of market research before pouring millions of dollars in research for this shit?

At least the hendo guys I understand because they didn't use their own money, they stole money from people on kickstarter so I see why the wouldn't care about it and just waste in novelty crap, but a lot of companies have used their own funds for this shit and it completely boggles my mind.

I looked deep into my consciousness last night as I was going to sleep and I came to this conclusion.

There are only 4 ways our Universe could have come about:

>1. It and the values of the laws of physics were purposely designed
>2. It came into a stable existence out of absolute nothing
>3. The energy has always existed and has been a circularly regenerating different Universes for infinity
>4. It came into existence out of an evolutionary chain of events, leading back into realms outside of time/matter/energy/laws, that defy all logic and may need no explanation

So which is most correct?

Al lot of bullshit going on on this board, let's have a serious discussion about real technology. Which of these systems do you think will be the future of spaceflight? I am behind SpaceX for two reasons 1) they have far more funding 2) their concept is more straightforward and based on existing technology. The US military is also jumping on the reusable rocket bandwagon

Pic related is Boeing's super original design. Don't worry kids, SS heat shield issues won't happen because it isn't going all the way to orbit.

I'm excited about SKYLON from Reaction Engines - Their SABRE engine is a gamechanging technology that could revolutionise space travel. They are some way away from demonstrating their tech though, so in the meantime SpaceX are the most promising route to advances in Space Travel.

Blue Origin get an honorable mention too
>>
>>7860737
Skylon looks like a good concept but it's hard to see something like that materialising in the UK. Too many questions: who is going to fund it? where is the testing going to take place? what is going to stop it being scrapped after the obvious budget overruns and failures? where is the support for this project going to come from?

I think the moment BAE systems bought into it that it was filed together with a long list of slightly promising projects that ended up in a dead end.

Maybe it is a case of my English pessimism getting to me but I suspect it is also going to get to anyone that could make this thing happen too.

If it works does it mean the end of the scramjet? Supersonic combustion has proven to be very temperamental, the precooler solution could make it obsolete.

Because there's two poles, and you see all the lines because the magnetic current or whatever it's called is going through those iron filings like electricity flowing through a metal rod.

Since any any number divided by infinity = 0 or undefined, does that mean in the infinity of time and space of the universe, that we humans = 0 or undefined?

Whats the average day of a scientist like?
I am majoring and STEM and want to know if i'm making a wrong choice.
I ask this because I know a math major who loves math and majored in Engineering and said it was the worst thing he ever did.
Oh, and if you are wondering I am majoring as a Bio fag but any scientist telling me their day to day would be nice.

This is more ore less a thread for /adv/ but being a biofag can mean many different things. Since biology is such a large field you could do just about anything.

Though with a bachelors you're either going to be a:
>lab monkey
>ecology monkey
>flipping hamburgers

It just really depends to be honest.

I'm thinking of going ecology and evolution for no other reason because it interests me and it sounds fun.

>Whats the average day of a scientist like?

You mean in stem. Your i should be capitalized.

>I ask this because I know a math major who loves math and majored in Engineering and said it was the worst thing he ever did.
You know a math major who majored in engineering? But wasn't he a math major? Is he a double major? Why are you hiding information from us? What? Even? What?

>Oh, and if you are wondering I am majoring as a Bio fag but any scientist telling me their day to day would be nice.
Biology is not a real science.

So let's say you have to find limits using only algebraic manipulation. No effective methods like applying epsilon delta or using l'Hopital are allowed.
How do you know whether the limit you arrived at using algebraic manipulation is correct? One can get different results via different algebraic manipulations. How do you know that it's time to plug in the limit and just calculate?

The only was I see a purely algebraic way of finding a limit would work if it ends with

limt_{h -> 0} const. = const.

as in the limit h to 0 of

[math] \frac {(x+h)^2-x^2} {x+h} = \frac {x^2 + 2xh +h^2 -x^2} {x+h} = 2x \frac {x+h} {x+h} =2x [/math]

In that case the solution will be unique, yes.
