Hey so i am working on an artpeice.
I want to use the image of a neuron connecting to another to symbolise positive change and the actual science of habits and thoughts building your reality.
I am no sciencer. but i was inspired by a friend of mine's explanation that emotions are the result of neurons connecting or detaching as you form or destroy new associations etc
I dont think i know enough to research wether this is actually true or works like that and id like to understand more before i use a neuron as symbolism. I also understabd theres multiple kinds of neurons, so which would work best?
If this isnt the best place to ask, can you direct me sonewhere better?
Thanks a bunch:)

Why? Because you want to be an engineer? Wrench monkey? Hate clear night sky, advanced optics, mysteries of the stars?
>>7766368
That is literally the most meme degree you can get.
>>7766368
Because Astrophysics is boring. It's far more interesting to create something new than to simply observe nature.
The fact that you had to bring engineering into discussion of your supposed passion shows that deep down below all your layers of insecurities you know it's true.
Faggot.

Streetlight engineer, or bureaucrat whose job is to plan streetlights who has a clue about lampshade streetlights would do more for reverence & shit.
Can I get /sci's opinion on linguistics?
>>7766350
Parsing human language is kind of a waste of time (at least as far as building UIs go).
The only time it's useful is with search engines or other kinds of web crawlers.

>Parsing human language is kind of a waste of time
Anything requiring NLP requires some kind of natural language parser.
Is this faggot right or wrong, /sci/?

problem is incomplete. You have to define around what fixed axis you count the revolutions.

How can it equal one? If one times one equals one that means that two is of no value because one times itself has no effect. One times one equals two because the square root of four is two, so what's the square root of two? Should be one, but we're told its two, and that cannot be.
>>7766184
1 is the identity element of the multiplicative integer group. I don't see why you have a problem with that.
Calm down terrence
>>7766184
Also sqrt(2) != 2
Hey /sci/, can someone please explain to me how and why gyroscopes work? Thanks.
They are God's work, and they work because God wills it. Don't ask questions.

What do you guys think? Does a 5.1 magnitude earthquake sound like a legitimate h bomb test?
What difference does it make what a bunch of pop-sci loving anonymous retards thinks about whether or not the North Koreans posses hydrogen bombs based on any given evidence from the media and/or government agencies?
>>7766150

The presence of radiation is probably the deciding factor.
also /pol/ is that way ^
Hi /sci/
First time taking Differential Equations this semester. Any suggestions of what to expect or how to do well? Thanks!

What does /sci/ think of the physics forum?
I don't even know what to think about my programming professor who hasn't given out final grades and it has been three weeks since finals ended.

How did we evolve to enjoy seasonings?
Salt is an easy one because sodium is an essential nutrient, same with sugar, but what about thyme? oregano? basil? What's the evolutionary purpose of liking spices? Why do they make food taste better?
Seems strange that we could evolve to crave an inconvenient, costly addition to perfectly healthy food.
>>7766004
The answer to "why did we evolve to /x/?" is "just because". Evolution has no purpose, please stop making retarded questions.
You <could> ask "how did we evolve to enjoy seasonings?" I guess which is a really fucking complicated question as I don't think we can pinpoint the points at which we started to like / dislike certain things.
>>7766004
Tell me wtf is inconvenient and expensive about cooking your lentils with cumin and parsley first OP

I need your help
So I have linear array and elements are sorted form lowest to highest.
I just need algorithm that returns indexes if arr[i]-arr[j]=160.
Runtime should be O(n).
help me /sci/ you're my only hope
try stackoverflow, I hear they love answering these kinds of questions
>>7765937
lmao you lazy fuck
>>7765937
If you are too retarded to figure that out yourself then you should literally put a gun in your mouth.
What are the best books on Measure Theory for a noob?

What's wrong? There's an overly excited guy finishing calculus who's thinking he can fly into Complex Analysis already with his overbearing excitement. Of course he's going to hit a wall but the excitement he shows is really pure and nice. I hope he doesn't fall for the rudin meme and has a good time learning analysis and lin alg.
