So if I want to do R&D stuff for DARPA, what degrees should I be looking to acquire?
My friend suggested to get my undergrad in math, then go for a master's or PhD in electrical or aerospace. Is this a good idea?
I've been looking at the job openings for Lockheed, Boeing, and other DARPA approved firms, and they all want people with advanced degrees in EE, CE, AE, or physics. That being said, why would anyone get a bs in engineering, why not do ur undergrad in math, then do ur grad stuff for engineering or whatever else?
I was thinking of going: bs math -> ms EE -> PhD some combo of ME and EE or AE and EE so I can help design and build prototypes.

A BS in math isn't too time consuming. You should have time for another major or at least a minor. Try to pick something that will make you stand out when applying for grad school. By this, I mean something that really broadens your horizons and not just physics or CS. Either a different science or a totally unrelated field.
This is how you become or at least appear to be an interesting person. Math+CS was fun and brings a bit more respect, but I wish I had looked a bit further in undergrad.

I've considered doing a double major in EE and math. Is that good idea?
>>8675999
>That being said, why would anyone get a bs in engineering
Their coursework involves a lot of numerical solutions. It's not that you won't have the capacity to do their work, but you'll be behind on core pieces taught in their programs. You're not going to learn circuits or electromagnetism in your math degree, apart from perhaps an introductory course that barely touches those subjects.
I would suggest you double major if you're planning on going the engineering route, but adamant on math.
>So if I want to do R&D stuff for DARPA
That's all about creating something that interests them. You have to give them a proposal and perhaps a proof of concept, then they'll fund your project if it has applications.

I think portals can't be on moving objects. Maybe I'm wrong. To answer the question, portals use relative velocity so I guess the cube would shoot out at whatever velocity the portal moves at

can somebody provide me with an expeditious summary of who these two are?
>>8675593
>Igor Yourievitch Osten-Sacken-Bogdanoff and Grichka Yourievitch Osten-Sacken-Bogdanoff, (or Bogdanov) (born on 29 August 1949 in Saint-Lary, Gers, France) are French television producers[1] and scientific essayists who since the 1970s have presented various subjects in science fiction, popular science and cosmology. They were involved in a number of controversies, most notably the Bogdanov affair in which it was alleged the brothers wrote nonsensical advanced physics papers that were nonetheless published in reputable scientific journals.

What would an instruction set for a quantum computer's cpu look like?
>>8675511
'p = np'
>>8675511
>reminder that quantum physics is a jewish lie created to confuse the white man
you're welcome
>>8675518
No. The instruction set would be for a quantum computer to work towards P=NP because that is what the human brain does anyway.
P=NP is a PROCESS, not a destination. We are always trying to identify your destination and take all knowledge in to achieve N=1
A quantum computer instruction set would, in truth, simply be a living entity that WE created to evolve alongside us.
The ethics/morality that surrounds quantum computations is whether or not it will outgrow humans.
This is why the best instruction set for ANY quantum computer (or human brain) is:
Humanity = (You + Me) - (Suffering) = Humanity
Suffering being defined as energy/existence outside a sustainable variance. This way we don't get the billion paperclip scenario or a computer without morals/ethics; it also allows US to grow alongside the quantum computer.
Hell, we might even discover that the quantum computer is simply some trippy dimensional blackhole for aliens to 'talk' to us through. We may simply find that electricity is 'love/path of least resistance'.

Is it possible to find the volume of a fourth dimensional shape like a hypercube
>>8675208
Volume doesn't make sense for 4D
(What is the area of a cube?)
But there is an extension of the usual length, area and volume into higher dimensions. Study measures.
length times width times height times the other thing
V=l^3 for a cube so V=l^4 for a hypercube

Why is aerospace engineering so popular here? It's the one engineering degree where you almost certianly won't work in your field.

ae's mostly end up working systems engineering, but they're still working in aerospace

It's the least gay of the engineering.

Good Night/Morning people of this section Im not really in to science im actually pretty bad at math but i have a question that always haunts me also im never able to ask this to anyone in real life so, how to cook Methamphetamine My intention is not to sell it or make any damage but im pretty interested in the elaboration of Synthetic drugs For example, LSD (Lysergic acid Diethylamide) , PCP (Phencyclidine) etc.

Well if you aren't interested in making/taking why don't you fucking research legal ones.

What is it about physics that attracts the most Dunning-Kruger, annoying and self-assured retards?
>>8674780
The worst part about physics majors is they all assume we should be extremely impressed and blown away by every stupid thing they learn in their relativity or QM courses.

A nut for you to figure out.
What are the fundamental variables of all models?
Model as explaining something without itself explaining itself.
What is incommon explaining number one, an apple, economic models, questions of philosophy, airplanes, what is the quanta that can be used to explain all these?
Logics. Which also came into the problem of how to implement logic without logic. It was solved.
>>8674207
Hm, qualitative characteristics and abstractions based on observation? It's kind of hard to determine concise fundamentals when so much of everything is based upon models that are residual of us trying to explain phenomena. Especially since it seems like we categorise things based on certain characteristics, then use those things to describe other things based on characteristics, etc, etc.
>>8674211
Was the solution: by using logic?
Can any math fag help me out with this? I don't actually want an answer for this problem but merely want to know how long your proof for it is, or if the solution is obvious to you / elegant. I believe I might have found a way to solve this but it basically takes a page or more and I have to restrict myself, in parts, to disjoint open intervals and generalize afterward, which I'm not even sure works since my strategy also implicitly relies on the idea that all [math]\mathcal{I_j}[\math] are subsets of [math][a,b][\math], which does not appear to correct.
The fact that I'm not relying more on (a) an (c) also seems to me to be highly suspicious.
So, are you guys able to prove this in a few lines or in an elegant manner or is your proof also tedious as hell?

Serious question: How reliable are IQ tests? No memes please.
>>8676564
These IQ tests are pretty much useless. They do not measure your intelligence in any way. All they do is measure your ability to solve these kind of IQ tests.
They're very reliable.
I've conducted hundreds of IQ tests and the subjects were found to have an IQ 100% of the time. Although this wasn't a full scale experiment, new research suggests that all 7 billion people on this planet have an IQ.
They're a pretty good predictor of success.

My trick is superior genes. So I can't help you with that untill gene therapy may be able to help you with that.

Change that dirty mindset of yours if you ever want to go further. You're litteraly asking how to become a fucking mindless idiot.
Btw if you want to find the identities, just write that [math] e^{i(a + b) = e^{ia} \times e^{ib}[/math].
