>trying to boil intelligence down to a single number
I seriously hope you guy don't do this.

Literally the only reason /sci/ has become obsessed with IQ is so that retards here can push the le smart but lazy meme. You can can completely fuck up at everything, drop out of school, and become a NEET, but you can still point to "b-but at least I have a big number for my IQ score."

Why does this thread keep getting reposted?

A wheel is not that hard to make. You might have also heard stuff like "why didn't x civilization have wheels until x!?"

To that, I would just challenge you to build your own wagon. You'll quickly find that the wheel is not the problem, but the axel and joints. Same with nature. How can could you make a joint for a wheel? How could you turn it with purely biological means?

because legs are better

>>9036614
yes

It depends on your definition of 'God' as anything created would still be bound by the laws of this universe

>>9036614
If God is a creation then it isn't a god.

Most homosexuality cases in animals are observed in captivity. It's a mental disease. Period.

Is pic a trap?

is it our ability to speak? is it our technological advancement? or is it perhaps our passion that draws the line between humans and other mammals?

Academia threads should be banned. Take that circlejerking and shitposting to /b/

quantum entanglement =/= FTL communication

>>9030066
>To perform the experiment, the Chinese team created entangled pairs of photons on the ground at a rate of about 4,000 per second. They then beamed one of these photons to the satellite, which passed overhead every day at midnight. They kept the other photon on the ground.
>Finally, they measured the photons on the ground and in orbit to confirm that entanglement was taking place, and that they were able to teleport photons in this way. Over 32 days, they sent millions of photons and found positive results in 911 cases. “We report the first quantum teleportation of independent single-photon qubits from a ground observatory to a low Earth orbit satellite—through an up-link channel— with a distance up to 1400 km,” says the Chinese team.
>So you're wrong, because they don't need to "check" both sets of entangled photons. They create photons with a specific spin, and then "trust" that the qubits are the same when they check them at the destination.
>Once they're sure entanglement is conserved, they "trust" the communicator not to foul the signal/entanglement en route.
>You just can't read.

>signs you're talking to a brainlet

When you are describing something or teaching someone about something and their eyes sort of glaze over like they've been hypnotized.

Maybe you should focus on something else

Like seriously, if you study for an hour or two stop it and play video games or watch a show or shitpost for a few minutes. Once you get back, you'll feel refreshed as fuck. Just make sure you get back, otherwise it'll just plain old never get done. Which reminds me

Considering the Riemann Zeta function on the complex plane to be analytically continuous gives us that the output for the input of -1, which results in the addition of all natural whole integers, is analytically continuated to be -1/12

It's simple math anon. Consider being a philosopher or other brainlet subjects

>>9041323
But the rienmann zeta function is another story, still doesn't make 1+2+3+4... equal -1/12. How the fuck does that not add up to infinite?

If you can't intuitively see why it would be -1/12, then you probably shouldn't be studying mathematics. It's basic convergence. 1 + 2 is a very small part of the way to -1/12. 1 + 2 + 3 is a slightly larger part of the way, etc.

How fucking stupid are you, OP?

Pure maths is all about garnering prestige by working on problems outside the public's comprehension. No one is going to be impressed if they understand the statements of the problems you work on unless the problem is very famous.

Nearly all pure maths students want to the problems that are the most abstract and seemingly esoteric -- and hence the most impressive. But only the best can work on the algebraic topics and still be employable.

The most productive analysts -- Tao, for example -- work on analysis even though they could be algebraists if they tried because they know that they'll get more attention if they gather up the low-hanging fruit that the dummy analysts who couldn't make it in algebra couldn't reach.

>>9041212
>The most productive analysts -- Tao, for example -- work on analysis even though they could be algebraists if they tried

Tao has actually stated that he struggled with algebra and topology

>>9041152
That perception probably exists because the big post-modern wizardy mathematicians of the 20th century were in algebra. Serre, Grothendieck, et al.

No one actually believes this meme.

UNC
Stanford
U Chicago
Berkely
MIT

Maybe Duke or John's Hopkins

Anything else is meme tier.

What about Stanford's program is great? Not saying it isn't, but I did not like the sound of its curriculum and program as much Berkely and the other UC system schools.

>>9041176
When you graduate, your diploma will say "Stanford" on it and people will be like "wow! This guy is smart!!!"

From my experience, there's going to be brainlets wherever you go and at any rank.
I don't know how it works in America, but the best you can do is try and get in as an officer in a position that requires an engineering degree of some sort.

Only brainlets with no marketable skills go military, so they can live as welfare queens on government money yet still pretend to be fiscal conservatives

As far as I know, they don't. In general its too fragmented to say that race is real or not. "black people" from one part of africa are very genetically different than black people 500 miles away.

And Anthropologists would say that ethnic groups are real but race is also fragmented.

this is how human "races" really look like

they dont look like neat distinct categories

on the other hand, it is not true that there are no differences either

>>9040560
Look's pretty distinct desu. Look at the groups not intersecting.
