Got a degree in english literature because I believe all those people who said a degree in STEM would guarantee me a job. Is the whole STEM guaranteeing a job a lie or only the English section?
Any Science bros who actually had a an easy time finding a job?

Something that should be called unknown source gravity, so that people will finally shut the fuck up and stop accusing scientists of invoking supernatural shit.

I also fell for the physics meme.
But now I'm close to finishing my PhD and I have offers for postdocs from 3 different institutes in 3 different countries.
So better than I've expected.

Ok guys. Serious question. Why the fuck can i recognize animals (especially deer) by their faces with ease when none of my family or friends can at all? Does this prove reincarnation? Was i a deer?

Hey /sci/,
I have a question about economics:
There are warnings by economists about a pensions crisis that is about to come in many developed nations, as people get older and less people are in the work force. On the other hand unemployment is on the rise due to higher productivity and automatisation. Even jobs with high qualification requirements are already affected. How does that fit together? Can someone with an understanding of economics explain that? Much appreciated.
(Firs time I'm posting on this board, so please forgive, if that's a dumb question.)

All the time anon. Predicting scientifical progress, technological changes, conflicts in the next decades are always a fun and interesting thing to do,but what truely fascinate me is the extremely distant future. After all, we maybe only went through a fraction of what humankind will be.
Just how will it be to live in 1,2,3 thousand years? In a million years? Will we even go that far anyway?
My biggest frustration, (and I am not kidding, there was a time where I thought about this daily) is to not be a omnipotent entity, able to watch the whole human civilization evolves more and more.

I dream about the last remaining bits of humanity being hunted down by machines. Not because the machines wish to exterminate humanity, but because of the machines insatiable need for phosphorous for semiconductors and other applications. It eventually becomes slightly cheaper to obtain this phosphorus by neutron bombing human habitats and fusion torching the remains than by mining it directly.
Why don't legislators make every healthy person use bikes instead of cars?
Also why bikes can keep straight while moving?

For millions of years, mankind lived just like the animals. And something happened that unleashed the power of our imagination: we learned to talk.

Reacently i had a dream but it was a luicid dream so i controled myself and it felt like real life. I was able to use all my senses i felt, heard, smelled, i could see and taste and it got me thinking. Since im just a beta male that watches anime all day i thought about the nerve gear from SAO and my dream was basicly a simulated realty, could we recrate what they did in SAO and make a brain computer interface that puts us in a simulated realty (output) where we control a avatar (input) and use all of our senses? Its possibly because our brain does it when we sleep. I thought about it for a month and this is my ideas so far
·we have to get the body into REM sleep so we arent moving irl
·Its probably smarter to use the neck because all of the brains messeges that go to our nody go through the neck and we dont risk damging the brain
Thoughts?

>>brain computer interface that puts us in a simulated realty
that's a pretty big fucking leap, considering that even current invasive brain computer interfaces suck
Now induced lucid dream we could probably do near term, but that wouldn't be like that goddamn anime, because everyone would be in their own little dream world.
Stop watching anime.

Telomere length is not the only factor in aging.
You'd have to stop your eyes from turning to liquid, protein degradation in your brain, build up of plaque in your blood vessels, and a whole list of other factors.
Not to mention your risk for cancer goes up with age.

>These paths of free-
fall are called geodesics and they are the shortest, straightest paths through space
Not quite, geodesics are the the minimum of some action.
The argument about the ball and light reflecting off it is just wrong. This stems from the above confusion about a geodesic.
Okay, I'm still reading and it looks like this idea of a geodesic being the "straightest" path is a core idea of yours, but it's completely wrong.
>If tangent produces problematic singularities then it can be multiplied by cotangent
which removes them.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say here, is it just an anlogy? Because you can't really remove the singularity at [math] \theta = \pi / 2 [/math].
I don't know what you have against E-F coordinates, they aren't meant to remove the physical singularity, just the coordinate singularity. Also [math] 2GM [/math] is a well defined quantity, not a singularity.
You description of a Feynman diagram is utterly bizarre, the "key to understanding it" is not time, it's perturbative QFT, the rest of your description is completely nonsensical. Also Feynman diagrams are non-physical, they're just useful computational aids.
Particles do fall into a black hole. If you were traveling along with them, they would fall inside it in a finite proper time.
>What I wish to propose for what is inside a black hole is a surface like these negative curves
Well alright, but you don't demonstrate that.
>The event horizon keeps particles from getting in
This isn't right, see above.
Your idea makes little sense, is littered with errors and inaccuracies, and fails to convince the reviewer of anything.

Why couldn't we carry around individual hard disk drive platters as a portable storage medium instead of flash drives and CDs?
Think about it, we already know how to read data off of portable disk-shaped things with inexpensive CD drives, why couldn't they be adapted to accept and read a HDD platter?
Granted there's the issue of magnets fucking up the data, but just cover it in a thin, high-magnetic-permeability case that the adapted drive can just open slightly to allow the read/write head to get at the platter.
Higher storage capacity on a more robust object, plus I miss disks. Why wouldn't it work?

Flash drives go up to 1TB in storage, are easy to carry around on a keychain, and their read/write speed is pretty fast. Why do you feel the need to try and replace that with a disk? It comes with much more problems than it solves. You can't just plop a hard disk platter into a CD drive and have it work.

>>8968014
External hard drives exist.
>>
>>8968014
>Why wouldn't it work?
because you fucking touch yourself at night.
There is a fucking sterile vacuum inside HDD's.
You can fuck them up by messing with the screws. Not straight up opening the things up, just turning the fucking screws a bit.
The conversion you're proposing would be stupidly complicated and fragile, with literally no fucking benefit whatsoever over an EHDD or ESSD, or even a fucking flash stick and lots of drawbacks.
