I've read their theses from the college libary's archive. It was written in Microsoft Word and graphs were made in Excel. I'm not even joking.

Maybe they found jobs and dropped their online presence to focus on work.

Haha, just kidding. They're totally fucked.

How many books have been written on the subject since the whole Gravitational waves detection thing recently? The most recent one happened on the first of this month.

I think maybe scientific papers may be the best source for info, unless you are looking for a picture book. Check google scholar.

Don't fall for the relativity meme.
It is clearly Judenphysik.

I quite liked Zee's "Einsteins Gravity In a Nutshell". It takes a variational approach which my autism greatly appreciates. People often recommend Shultz, but I'm not a huge fan desu. There's Hobson et al. "General Relativity: An Introduction for Physicists". For a more in depth look at some calculations "A relativists toolkit" is pretty good, but it's not really a general reference. Beyond that I've heard good things about Wald, but I've never used it myself so can't really comment, also there's Gravitation by Meisner, Thorn, and Wheeler, again I've not read it myself, but it's definitely on my list of books I'm going to buy in the future.

>Do you believe that the world exists to be used by humans?
No, there is no purpose.

>Do you believe that happiness is the goal of life?
No, it's a potential byproduct.

>Do you believe in good and bad?
No. However, I'm supposing you mean morality when you say this.

>Do you believe that humanity is a force for good?
No, humanity isn't a force nor is it inherently good or bad.

What are you trying to work out with these questions?

"Ideas of reference and delusions of reference describe the phenomenon of an individual's experiencing innocuous events or mere coincidences and believing they have strong personal significance. It is "the notion that everything one perceives in the world relates to one's own destiny."

Imagine if people realized one of the core parts of religion was some watered down symptom of mental illness.

>>8999253
It's not even watered down though. But almost anything is and can be a symptom of mental illness.

In a few months, that should be a fully formed vagina. I'll be waiting to try it out.

SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. Like right fucking now.

bumping my thread. so we have something like an entangled system in a very large number of superpositions, each representing a different state of a turing machine solving the same problem. am i getting somewhere?

You cannot appreciate quantum computing without basic understanding of linear algebra, statistics, and quantum theory (formerly known as ``mechanics''). Any ``rundown'' would be wasted on you.

>>8998291
Basically this. Linear algebra in particular. But quantum computers, if pulled off, would be revolutionary. Database search in root(n) time. Integer factoring in polynomial time. Next level shit.

Northen Yuropoor here wondering the same thing. Someone please respond to these questions ASAP!!

>>8997557
Also it would seem, that people get into uni, then so their thing and after that they go to grad school..? Here we do all of our uni time at the same place (in some cases people do their bachelor some place and their master a different place), but in american movies it seems a bit like this is not the case. Someone please explain this.

And is there a difference between a college and a university?

>>8997562
Same. There are tons of things about US Unis that we see through entertainment, and to me at least, they seem like a goddamn Paradise of some sorts.

I've found that Terance Tao provides very cogent advice on many different aspects of mathematics on his wordpress, but unfortunately, I haven't seen him tackle this largest of issues: Why study higher mathematics at all? Does anyone know if he addresses this somewhere?

>But what I've found is that while professors often provide lip service to math as a pursuit of transcendent truth, their actual motivation is entertainment.

What's bad about entertainment?

The sad part, the real redpill, is that a major reason is the hope for fame.
(That's true for all academics.)

>As if the goal of mathematics was to fill up your free time, not some higher understanding.
I don't quite see the difference.
But to a large extent, I'm a formalist and I don't believe in any strong sense of

Men choose rules and play games.
(And if you consider ALL possible game rule, you're moreover rewarded that some mirror natural processes, and thus there are some applications.)

you don't need sleep. sleepiness is just Jews taking your life-force away for shekels to be made.

Because STEM drives technological progression, social sciences do not. Because science/ math is the crown achievement of human thought, and the social sciences are just trying to be like the sciences. At least I can respect art and humanitites because they are what they are, you social scientists just are just wanna be scientists... No fuck off

>>9001636
The greatest social capital is being able to do things others can't. Sciences fall into this.

Depends on how much you care about being a physicist. If you're like me, you'd go for science, rather than money. How much do you care about money, and how much do you care about being a physicist?

Also how wealthy are we talking?

>>9000945
You can do both. Not that you have either choice IRL, but that is a nice LARP.

>>9000951
I really care about being a physicist. Doing research is one of the few ways that I see my life having meaning

Money isn't essential to me but I'm not keen on the idea of having to be extremely conservative and stingy

>Also how wealthy
My family is top 100 in my country

>>9000629
>Should I do less problems?
No.

>>9000629
Go slower and make sure you really understand the material. You can't just race through it. Some questions will take you a long time others will be quick.

Do you want to have a poor grasp of it and be done or do you want to become a better mathematician?

>>9000634
That's true. How do I know when a certain subject has become familiar?

With that being said, how do you look at a problem and confidently say "I don't need to do this" or "Doing this would be superfluous"?
