Well, communication is of great value in all walks of life and career paths.

Now, here's the difference. Is this a STEM degree with a short 1 or 2 semester writing/communication component, or is it a degree all about communication?

If it is the second one then indeed, the degree isn't worth shit.

Well being a sperg master won't get you anywhere, fag.

Kek. It's always the communication type majors that bitch about student debt because they can't get a job.

What?

If that's a myth they keep around they don't to such a swell job at it cuz I ain't ever heard of it.

I thought /sci/ posters would at least be somewhat smart. This is pretty much common knowledge.

how is it different from normal computers ?

>>7843280
>Is the age of quantum computing upon us?

No

>What are the implications?

For the average person, probably not that much. Once they actually work (and can do prime factorisation) then RSA will become obsolete.

>>7843282
It supposedly uses quantum mechanics to be much more powerful. They said it solves certain problems 100 million times faster than a regular supercomputer.

200au is pretty far. It's probably frozen as fuck so no ayyys

But I want to meet ayys now!

What is at the centre of Earth?

Answer: It is meaningless and of non-importance, who gives a fuck?

>>7842956
A particle that's not really there.

is the root of the big bang, like, still there emiting light and matter after all this time, like a reverse black whole?

Negative Absolute Temps aren't a new concept. They are actually hotter than positive temps. This might seem paradoxical, but it makes sense scientifically.

>>7843147
Seems intuitive. You go so far back that your end up in the front

>>7842908
How about you start with "how can I help?"

At least you show up to lab. That alone makes you more helpful than 90% of the lab partners i've been stuck with in the past.

>>7842908
I would blog on /sci/ about it, making sure that they know I'm i grill btw xp

Ask him within the scope of your abilities, (explain) what you can do to lighten the burden of whatever projects you must complete. Also, everything is a paradigm into something else, from what is standard in the course of industry and work, to the fickle moments of individual imagination. Through a topological body, question yourself on how things are connected.

>>7842852
Mostly accurate except for the obvious exaggerations.

I tried to read all the comics in one sitting once. Failed. It gets really boring when he starts doing his trips talking to grad-students who dumbed down their research is a step up from pop-sci, but not as interesting as reading the front page of Nature.

I'd also like to see Mike's thesis defence, I'm considering just buying the book, but I'm kind of mad that the author took grad-school spots at top schools and a tenure track job only to quit and write comics full time so I'm boycotting his book.

>t gets really boring when he starts doing his trips talking to grad-students who dumbed down their research
You mean the tales from the road thing? I'm planning to read all of them in one sitting, the text on them is too fucking small for me to bother to put in that much focus when I'm reading the other comics for procrastination purposes.

This one speaks to me.

> the only "evidence" is a shitty b&w photo
> no physical explaination
200% FAKE

here's an attempt of physical (not mathematical!) explaination

>>7842854

also this guy did some videos on it

I'm not implying im convinced tho, just baffled

No more live than if you stayed inside. Autorotation lets helicopters fall quite gracefully to the ground, provided the main rotor still rotates freely and there's an engine fault and not a "huge explosion to the rotor" fault.

They're death traps, but not for the reasons you think.

By using nuclear physics

>>7842500
they actually were worried that the nuclear reaction would chain with the hydrogen in the atmosphere and that they were going to catch the entire worlds air on fire and kill everyone.

and they still did it.

Things that aren't true: the post

The carrier fluid is described as a "light hydrocarbon" in the MSDS, which most sources seem to interpret as mineral oil. The only list of light hydrocarbons I could find contained gases, so oil might be a good bet. I don't know what surfactant they used.

>>7842456
Carrier fluid is oleic acid, OP shoulda just used water

This is a guess ok so dont diss me for it.
You are, at a basic level making a battery by adding the alchohol. Thus there is anodic/cathodic reactions occuring even between minute particles. For me, that brown tinting is a classic sign of battery corrosion, its an indicator of same in electolyte. As I say, thats my SUGGESTION for it - i am no chemist. Dont shout at me !

honestly though im an actual gay engineer im just memeing you for fun m8 dont take it too hard .

if you want to open a thread to discuss some general topic it is generally a good idea to start it with some question\idea .

>>7842226
If you get a 'W', then it depends on how bad you think you'll do.

Why the fuck would you do that, go to class idiot

>know isomorphism theorems

>>7842190
calculus and differential equations preceded analysis. Analysis is a more rigorous "version" of calculus and other theories(complex, functional anaylsis) and is consider more fundamental while calculus is more about application and function.

Linear Algebra is quite a different subject but has applications within differential equations

>>7842190
>>7842193
Oh, and you usually take calc first, then diffy Qs or linear algebra after your 2nd semester of calc. If you want to take a real analysis course you need an introduction to proofs. There is also sometimes a more advance differential equations course aimed for mathematicians instead of engineers/scientist witch requires knowledge of proofs and linear algebra as well

>>7842193
i was told that in order to study differential equations you needed to know functional analysis. is there any weight to this?
