on the second question, it varies, dropped from what height? Are they loose or packed in sacks?

No, op - the only degree in stem ever worth having is only from mit or caltech. There are no other schools in the universe that could possibly string together a program in such a way that it's meaningful. Not Stanford, GaTech, ut Austin, ucla, Berkeley, umichigan, random state school, etc, etc. Undergrad education totally hasn't been standardized and anyone who graduates from anything but #1 has no idea what they're doing.

How about hacking a roach? /sci/ does mind control via app count?

What kind of retard look at that sandnigger shithole and says to itself "yep, that's a good place to spend the rest of my life, time to invest all the monies".

1. Ayylmaos may not even have a sense of smell. To assume extraterrestrials would have similar sensory organs to us is naive, their means of perceiving outside information may be completely different from our rather basic sight/sound/smell/taste/feel type. Or their own biology, or the environment they evolved in, may not have facilitated need for olfactory senses.
2. They may have a completely different biology, one that perhaps prospers in environments we would consider hostile. Also, our arbitrary notion of what is and isn't "disgusting" doesn't have to be shared by ayylmaos. So like I said above; no, it's unlikely.

Hmmm, have you tried reading a math text book?

>>8648065
>math dyslexia
what fucking bullshit is this?

>>8648068
I mean I don't really own any. My struggle with math a lot of the time was understanding and memorizing the steps needed for different equations and such. I switched schools 3 times, and each school had a different way of doing math, so every time I just ended up getting fucked and having to ditch what I learned to relearn, etc. I just don't have a fucking clue man. I know google is out there, but as a science and math board, I figure people here who are into science and math can lead me to the best possible direction of learning.

There is no way this could possibly go wrong.

looks like shit
allegedly does a lot of work on a lot of related fields (alleged by him), but not being a physicist/chemist i really have no idea if his contributions are real or just Q4 meme science
too lazy to go and check

god-tier youtuber.
excellent scientist
brilliant physicist
all-around excellent guy (even though he got Brexit and Trump wrong).

ps: only retarded SJWs and feminazis hate him.

>>8647999
his reasoning is ok sometimes but is mostly for the masses.

No, it's not a problem. We don't need diversity quotas for stem. If a man wants to do STEM, then good. He can enjoy his career and advance in his field. If he was replaced by a woman then...um...okay? What difference would it make?

Yes, it's a problem because it makes it harder for me to get a qt science gf.

No. I think people should do what they're interested in or else we are going to fuck up a naturally efficient process.

they are transparent and white and also they are made of geometric 2D shapes that make up a 3D shape (think of a polished diamond for example) thats why non polished diamonds like glass break up so easily.

>>8647856
its because diamonds can scratch metal but metal cant scratch diamonds

Because pressure

Why? Will the ocean dry out?

you aren't gonna make it

>>8647825
I don't think that's provable but it's definitely a possibility considering the Planck constant exists.

>>8647833
And wouldnt you be able to measure the 'rounding errors' with enough measurements?

>>8647888
Not sure.

>How the fuck can an osberver change the outcome of an experiment? I still can't wrap my mind about this.
He can't.


>Also does the wave function of a quantum particle represent something phyisical or is it just the mathematical model used to describe the "superposition" the quantum is in until it is measured?
It's a mathematical model

>>8647822
>he can't
so why does the wave function collapse when the particles are observed?

>>8647814
The concept of the electron being a particle is the product of a photon or other particle interacting with the superposition (represented by a wave function). Therefore, to an observer, the electron will always appear to be a particle. This is the observer effect. You see, the observer does not alter the system in any way, but it is the process of taking a measurement that makes the electron appear as a particle. The mathematical term for this is "wave function collapse".

You're right, the wave function is just our best mathematical model of the superposition, and you were right to put it in quotation marks because we have almost no idea what a superposition really is.

Honestly, quantum mechanics is just the science of human ignorance. It is a formalism made to describe that which cannot be observed.

>>8647810
Publish that the other lab was shit.

>>8647819
does this happen often; is it easy to find examples?

sorry for newbie questions

My computer science professor was trying to be helpful and answered a bunch of questions from a grad student from another university.

But it turned out she was asking so many questions because she was writing a paper about how his paper was flawed.

My professor ended up being on the committee to peer review her paper (since he's famous for the topic).

He was a good sport about it and appreciated that research was happening. He just asked her to be more forthcoming in the future.

I always thought it was fake, but one of my friends didn't remember anything after getting hypnotized. Another one of my friends did but said he went along with it anyway.

Either way, it seems to relax people and put them in a kind of meditative/dreamy state.

>>8647767
>What's /sci/'s opinion on hypnosis? Is it real or a hoax?
From what I understand, it's a bit of both.
It exists, but the effects aren't nearly as dramatic or showy as people think they are.

completely true, just go on dlsite and search for hypnosis audios
