What do you think of women in stem /sci/? Have they ruined your field?
>>8757499
Shameless self bump.
>>8757499
No I don't really have a problem with women in my field because they mostly seem genuinely interested and competent. Also I'm not a neurotic virgin.
>>8757503
Whats your field?
>Partially prove theorems, or don't prove them at all calling each theorem trivial
>Speed through more material in 1.5 hours than you can comprehend
>Don't define theorems/definitions on first use. Assume you already know them.
>Don't provide definitions/theorems needed to prove the theorems/definitions they are using
>Never fully write out proofs, or even definitions
>Whenever introducing a concept they think its trivial and don't understand how students don't already know the material
>Either don't assign a textbook, or literally copy/paste contents of textbook onto the board
>Better to just take textbook, skip lecture and work the problems yourself than show up for class
>Utterly autistic
>Does research no one cares about
>Other autistic math professors think highly of them, so they don't care about teaching evals
which school for brainlets do you go to?
>>8756340
One with Russian mathematicians.
>>8756344
but which school brainlet?
both schools in moscow that i took math classes in had professors of the highest caliber
maybe it's just you
Well, what is it? Does it even exist?
>>8755987
A concept created as an attempt to rationalize the perpetual motion of the universe
It's a point of reference more than anything else. Our society runs efficiently due to having this point of reference. Should anyone be able to perceive time in a non linear sense then they would literally have a cheat code to life. Having an experience where time seems to slow down, or an out of body where you don't perceive time at all makes you realise that time is created so enable us to have a shared reality.
Is it possible for "citizen scientists" to launch an object into low earth orbit for a relatively cheap amount?
>>8755150
To throw? No you can't get something into orbit by throwing it. Too little and it'll fall back to earth, too much it'll escape gravity. There is no in-between
Whats relatively
It'll be in the millions of dollars
>>8755166
Obviously you wouldnt throw it. Like a hobby sized rocket, or is there some problem?
Kek. /sci/ literally BTFO out of orbit
> "Gee, thanks 4chan"
- literally everyone that isn't American
I'm glad to be honest. America is slowly going back to being the backward shithole it was always meant to be, but they got saved by WW2 and European scientists. Cutting science and increasing military spending is literally perfect for the chinks now.
>>8753363
ebin
Can someone tell me how/if light can propel an object in a vacuum such as space?
>>8757601
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_pressure
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_sail
>>8757610
Is there anyway to concentrate radiation pressure?
>>8757626
There you go
Question,
Dark Matter/Energy is bullshit right?
Physicists are just embarrassed that they have no fucking clue what's going on?
>>8757285
Yes. They admit that they don't know what it is. They say that all the time. I don't understand your question.
"dark matter" is a placeholder term that means literally nothing
Nobody except retards and clickbait have ever claimed they know anything about dark matter, except to posit that something must exist to account for a deficiency of mass in current astronomical models
tl;dr you got meme'd
>>8757293
>they don't know what it is
>but they know it exists
this was OP's confusion I'll assume, a paradox
/thread
.999... is equal to 1
prove me wrong
>protip you cant
>>8756513
.999.... = x
10x = 9.999...
10x - x = 9.999... - 999...
9x = 9
x = 1
op is right
>>8756513
I don't think anyone would disagree...
>>8756513
Nope.
x = .000....1
1 - x != 1
Self-filling water bottle! Isn't this crazy? We need to send these to every African village as soon as we can.
>>8756418
>dying of thirst
>pull out your Fontus
>die anyways because it takes days to fill with enough water
>>8756433
>be African
And nothing of value was lost
*takes sip*
" ugh this taste of feces "
*throws in face*
what do
If I wanted to destroy the earth, and I mean fucking shatter it, what is the minimum size, speed and mass I would need of an asteroid, and what would be the best composition for this?
>>8756373
all you'd need is a single atom of hydrogen traveling at the speed of light
>>8756373
Nice try, Xorgon
You wouldn't need an asteroid, just keep sending africa food aid.
/sci/ what do you honestly believe the fate of the universe will be? Pic related.
Aren't we sure its 4?
>>8756352
Possibly, I'd really wish I could see what the universe will look like when it gets torn apart from the molecular level.
>>8756341
I honestly believe cosmology isn't a science but some fuckers pretending to be very smart
How do I get the will to read large volumes of text really quickly
>>8756311
You never will, namefag.
>>8756311
You will never do it when you want to. only if you need to
>>8756311
It's a meme. Just read as slow as you need to so you understand what you're reading. Be in a quiet space and stick to it. 10 pages per day will let you get through a 800 page textbook in less than 3 months. How many people do you know who read like 4 textbooks + some small books each year? Just 10 pages per day and sticking with it puts you at the 99th percentile. It's really simple. Most people are too lazy to do even that, though.
>tfw to smart too major in STEM fields
>>8756080
Did you major in your own degree anon?
>thinks he's smart
>doesn't even understand the difference between "to" and "too"
You made an ass out of yourself.
>>8756195
maybe it was intentional in order to bait out a reply? ever consider that brainlet?
is smarter than this man
By what reckoning?
it's crazy to think that OP ever has or ever will have a significant other
>>8755831
I don't think so, being smarter is not just knowing more
Are any of you actually smart, or do you just sit here regurgitating well worded, memorized "facts".
What do you think is better, experience or studying?
Studying can be experience, depending on the field. On a math based, non-memorizing career you almost don't memorize anything, and studying means solving problems, which is some kind of experience.
>>8755732
study then experience
>>8755732
>experience or studying?
Study is useless without life experience.
Few people push themselves to quest and suffer.
