ME will always be a solid discipline

Im thinking of studying physica as a degree so that i can get into expiremental deaign of qbit processors that use high temperature superconductors and magnetocaloric refridgeration

I prefer radians but ok.

Got my exams in 3 weeks, kill me

Everythiiiing... You have to like math to actually get good at it, just like any sport. Ofcourse you can call yourself not a math person because you sometimes can't understand it. Sometimes you understand just the basics. There are somethings the dude says that is true but overall it's all wrong

It's kind of over simplified. There are a lot of things that effect what makes someone "good" at math. I do think his core point, that anyone can get good at math, is largely correct (barring actual problems with the brain, like being too senile or having particular mental disabilities). I think it does a bad job of actually explaining why some people are bad at math, and others are good. There are a lot of reason that are more complex than just laziness. There are two which matter a lot which come to mind right now:
1) Who's teaching you, especially in the beginning before you can teach yourself effectively. If any of the first math teachers are bad, or encourage bad habits (like memorizing instead of understanding), then you'll have a lot of problems in the future.
2) Some people are able to pick things up more quickly, than others. This comes down to both innate mental ability, and also prior exposure to mathematical things. This again matters most in the beginning, its easier for someone to get lost in the beginning and have no real way of picking up the pieces on their own.

But he is talking in a general sense. Math is segragated for the geniuses and the cold calculative people because that's what we present. Kids want to explore discover be challenged, but we make them do 20 problems in their home then 5/10 problems in their exams and tata math.

>implying the force isn't real

You're not gonna make it if you don't enjoy it desu

I like it. I did programming in high school, and went to study computer science in university to get my skills to the next level. I was not disappointed and I love the field. The job market is nice, it's what allowed me to pursue the activity I love, but it was a secondary consideration.

I love compsci but I hate web stuff. I'm seriously considering trying for a CE just to get farther away from things like WordPress.

Get a high pressure high temperature chamber, run it for a few hundred years and you'll get some really impressive results.

I fucking hate crystals that humans can't make in a reasonable timeframe.

It's one of the few things you just can't fucking do.

I never knew people made crystals out of different shit as a hobby. I know nothing about this or how it works but it seems fun, can someone point me in the right direction?

>>7737416
It's fun because chemistry, but it's still a pain in the ass.

I'd recommend using Epsom salts (MgS), copper sulfate, or if you want copper chloride, i mixed copper sulfate and some plain salt together in hot water, DO NOT stick anything metal in it, it corrodes stuff really well.

if you want actual crystals of CuCl, then filter out the precipitate of the CuSO and NaCl, and then add water to it, dissolve it all, and then slowly evaporate the water over a few hours, should work

i said proficiency with math and science not dicks and manbutts.

I know what job you're talking about!
You're talking about being a millionaire who pays people to make himself more money.

thats a good dejree

Between the 50's and 80's.

Is that a bionicle? Shit brings back so many memories

between now and then

Notice how these kinds of questions add nothing to mathematics?

This is why philosophy of mathematics is a waste of time.

>it's a platonism thread
sage

I`m a computer science major, btw.

>>7739234
No. I didn't show up to my calc 3, linear algebra, or mechanics classes at all. Got As in all of them. I really prefer to just read the book and maybe watch some high quality lectures online.

>>7739238
Curious, where are you going to school that your lectures aren't quality enough? And why are you going there in the first place? I know that I obviously have to take initiative if I want to master these subjects but I don't see why I can't expect my professors to bring some quality to the table as well.

Please be more specific, your question is to ambiguous for me to answer

Depends on how you define free will.

A hard determinist would define it as "you have a choice without a cause", which is a no, because casualty is pretty much what underpins all of existence as we know it.

A soft determine would say that free a free act is one which doesn't rely on any causes outside of the one doing the action. From this definition, free will exists and casualty is preserved.

A libertarian perspective would say that you do and relies on the the braking of casualty and conservation of energy, and what that guy on Sixty Symbols refers to as "quantum physics woo".

If the universe somehow exactly returned to a prior state, would the history of the universe be cyclic?

shocker, smarter people have better jobs, better living conditions, can afford medical care more often and take less physical risks.
Who would have thought.

>>7738979
Essentially this.

>>7738979
This, but the study isn't conclusive. On the otherhand officer workers sit on their ass all day and develop medical issues. Even with great medical care you can only live so long.

If you compare luke hemsworth to his brothers that will answer a few of your quesrions

For males it is more about how a female body moves more than physical looks at first.
