Feels good man

What are your criteria? Also, these threads are baffling to me. I really don't think much of you as a person, frankly, if you're not on a math or physics research track.

Who the fuck made this image? This is unbelievably ass backwards. Materials is both bad and good but you know they do say trust no one not even yourself.

Materials engineering best engineering.

Because all my resumes will go straight into the trash unless I have a fancy piece of paper

> You got that from Good Will Hunting, bar scene right? I saw that too. You have any thoughts of your own on this matter?

>>9006141

Why do you need a resume if make money off stock? If you were smart, you wouldn't even need a resume.

There's nothing to harvest. Stellarators eat more energy than they produce.

>>9005375
You harvest the energy from the impulse energy of the fusion by-products. Most common fuel is Deuterium and Tritium, isotopes of hydrogen, having one and two additional neutrons respectively. They fuse to form Helium which has only 2 neutrons. The surplus neutron receives the energy produced in the fusion reaction and passes it on to warm water surrounding the reactor. After that it's like every other power generation process.

>using a thermal power cycle
Enjoy your Carnot efficiency limit

>>9005375
The plasma itself is made of electrically charged ions which can be harnessed for direct power conversion that's nearly 100% efficient.

Ummm racist much?

Thought that this was why all babies have bloo eyes. Cause the pigment isn't there yet. Don't some animals have the same thing?

>>9012825
There isn't just some single cell layer of brown covering a blue eye. This is a scam. That's not how eye color is determined.

>QUADRUPLE major in Geology, Physics, Chemistry, & Astronomy

Astronomy and Physics overlap heavily. To double major you just need like 6 more courses.
Chem requires Gen x2, Organic x2, Inorganic x2, Analytical x2, and PChem x2 but you'll already know 90% of PChem.
Geology is a joke.

I've seen more impressive quadruple majors.

I think you mean some one who has the ability to quadruple major in applied math, pure math, finance math, and statistics

>>9012740
yes because pure math can isolate a higgsless particle>>9012739
geology would be for unexplained phenomenon, and to make the machine accessible

Adjunct professor gig at Podunk Community College

Read around and maybe you'll see that this is unlikely
Or I am wrong

I was under the impression the body needs little stressors

>>9011507
can't I just stick to my hyperimagitive unrealistic futurist beliefs and ignore scientific research and "realism"?

>>9011986
Often ignorance, optimism and hope is more adaptive

>>9010048
Those that are curious, have their curiosity stamped out of them. Those that understand the material are bored into lethargy, those that don't understand the material and dragged through and have their ego crushed to make sure they never understand the material.

It's better academically but it's worse socially because you're crippling your child's social development. He won't go through the rites of passages such as his first kiss, sex, trips with his friends and so on. But he will learn more.

This. Trying to get my kid into school now but wife is fundamentalist about this crap. Just want to give the kid a chance at a normal life with friends.

that would also predict a 1:1 men to women ration lol

>Being one of the chosen ones
Like W.E.B DuBois' "talented tenth" who will lead the plebs to the promised land

My first time was without a condom and I popped in about 15 pumps. I can now pretty much go as long as I feel like without cumming cause my fiancée is a nympho. Built up a tolerance and now sex is boring. Don't know why scientifically but it's not that fun anymore and I don't like it.

>>9009311
>Like.. why does a guy last for.. minutes before he comes into the girl. Where is the use in that?
evolutionary advantage. Having sex for prolonged periods of time is not really advantageous to staying alive/propagating one's self, especially when predators were around. If anything it's an advantage

>>9009335
A longer period of time allows for more pleasure for the female, which in turn may cause them to prefer you as a partner over those that are done more quickly. Therefore, more kids over a lifetime.

IQ tests are flawed. I can just not try as hard and my IQ suddenly is only 110. If I try, I typically hit 140. If I tried really hard, I could probably get like 150 or 160. It's a stupid test that is only useful for testing whether or not you are mentally retarded. I'm pretty sure that was the original purpose of it.

but yes, neuroplasticity allows us to change. Any genius can become a shadow of their former self by bumming around, watching television, (shitposting on 4chan), eating junk food all day, not exercising, whatever. You see this constantly with people burning out. That's what burning out is. They just stop trying, stop giving a shit, and they just lose it, they stop sharpening their knife so it just gets dull and rusty, and they're done.

You aren't set in stone. You can become more efficient, and optimize yourself. Your genetics/environment growing up/nutrition growing up/experience growing up - all of that shit just shapes your personality and has a small effect on """how smart""" you are. Anyone with the potential can become a dumbie or extremely intelligent and knowledgeable.

All of the smartest people I've ever talked to had slumps where I was definitely above them intellectually because they stopped trying. Your actions matter quite a lot. You aren't this constant genius or dumbie, you can change, very easily too.[spoiler] if you already had the potential[/spoiler]

Right now I'm really hungover after drinking 8 beers lastnight. I would probably bomb an IQ test, even though I normally score pretty high

Nothing, empty space.
Or maybe our universe is part of a larger structure.

Think how Newton and Leibniz both did calculus, but only Newton did mechanics.

>>9011977
Do you think David Hilbert should be credited as a co-creator of General Relativity

Of course the physical side of things is important. Like how Lorentz and Poincare both derived a lot of the mathematics used in SR but did it in an entirely electromagnetic context, it was Einstein who realized the connection between electromagnetism and mechanics. Poincare derived E=mc2 too but to him it was a paradox.
You might as well call Riemann the discoverer of GR if you don't think physical interpretations are important. Some retards at /pol/ do just that.

Bump, good question.

I want to tell you truthfully and kindly that the "we only access 10% of our brain" idea is just a meme, with no basis in science.

>>9011724
Go back to /lit/ or even better, go to /x/. This is an actual scientific board.

Nope

yes, it entirely depends on how many people are in each city

its possible you fucking aspie
