If matter cannot be created or destroyed, and only be changed from one form to another, where did matter come from in the first place?

Can you expect to contribute anything to science without some sort of college degree? Say you publish a peer reviewed paper, etc... Has anyone ever done this?

Probably. You just have to be disciplined enough to teach yourself a lot of material.

Maybe I could post this in a more suitable place, if you know of one let me know.
#6
I know the answer is A, but how do I PROVE it algebraically? It obviously isn't b, c or d because they all involve division, but I wasn't so sure that it wasn't e, so I figured it out by plugging in a few test numbers and A was consistently bigger, then after thinking about the nature of logarithms, it just sort of 'made sense' that e would always be smaller. But how do I show that? How do I prove that (other than just plugging in various numbers of course)?
Sorry if this bugs you guys, I know the whole "we're not here to do your homework" thing, but I don't know where else to get to quick answers and feedback.

The exponential is an increasing function so as long as you know how to order a,b,c,d,e, their images will be in the same order

Another one.. I know I could add i + i^2 + i^3 + ... + i^23, and get -1, but I KNOW there has to a shorter way, rather than:
√-1 + -1 + etc etc

Why do protons, which determine atomic numbers, match up perfectly from 1 to 118? For example, the last element discovered, Ununoctium, has 118 protons. Is this just a coincidence? How come there are, for example, simply no elements that have 55 protons? Why aren't there any gaps?

I know there is an element with 55 protons, but why? Couldn't it have happened that there wouldn't exist one? Why are there perfectly 118 elements with protons from 1 to 118?

there may be more periods actually

also it's not like there is any amount of 117 or 116 for example

When will 2D women become real? When will my waifu become 3D? Is it possible? How? When will we acquire said technology?
I have come to think of one way: the Matrioshka Brain, that is, a computer powered by a dwarf star with such power that is able to create a simulated reality in your brain. Pretty much like the Matrix, but where everything is perfect. This would be possible in some tens of thosands of years, I don't know.
How else? When will we be able to make qt waifus real? Discuss.

A unit square is cut into rectangles. Each of them is coloured by either yellow or blue and inside
it a number is written. If the color of the rectangle is blue then its number is equal to rectangle’s
width divided by its height. If the color is yellow, the number is rectangle’s height divided by
its width. Let x be the sum of the numbers in all rectangles. Assuming the blue area is equal
to the yellow one, what is the smallest possible x?

Well, /sci/, what math does an engineer need? Which engineering majors need it the most?

You need a constructive topos in which univalence holds. In fact, we all do.
Can someone recommended important, informative, scientific, factual, literature (papers/books) on happiness?
Things the literature could address for me to consider it informative/important include:
How it changes across your lifespan (so, hedonic set points and such), it's diminishing returns with money (up to $80,000 as studies show) addressing the Easterlin paradox, or other topics relevant to living a happy life for the average (or close to average) person.
I'm asking on this board for the educated opinion of aspiring/actual neuroscientists/psychologists/whoever else.
Pic related, sort of.

I'd prefer scientific and factual literature because being mislead on such an important topic usually doesn't turn out well, since you'd eventually stumble upon the correct (or most agreeable) opinion by which time you might have invested on your time in the wrong activities.

Note: I am talking about NON-AMERICAN countries where you can major in Medicine, Law, etc as an UNDERGRADUATE)
Some high school students who got extremely good grades in their finals (i.e. good enough for Medicine in non-American countries) decide to major in stuff such as Physics, Anthropology, Linguistics, Chemistry, etc. in the hope of doing research in the future. Why would they pick that?
>If you don't have anything published, your funding will be cut and you will have no income
>There is no guarantee that you will like research and most people hate if over time
>Jobs are meant to be monotonous, not fun
>They can easily major in Medicine, Law, Actuarial Science, Dentistry science, etc and switch to research later on or do a Master's degree in their area of interest
>The market for researchers is very bad at the moment - it is 100+ people competing for a tenured professorship post and it will not be you getting that job
>Being an adjunct professor sucks as all the contracts are short-termed
>It is hard to even secure a mortgage with such unstable employment
>If you can't find any professorship job, it is hard to find anyone else to hire you as they know that you will go back to academia as soon as you find another professorship job, so chances are you will either end up unemployed or working at McDonalds during this time

We can't use physics to predict things that break the laws of physics.
