Go do all of your prerequisite classes before picking a major. You can also start basic physics and mathematics that you will have to take either way before declaring. The more time you have to decide, the better. Speak with a guidance councilor and look at all your different options and career fields. Both fields require vast amounts more studying than the people getting into them realize, especially for graduate degrees, which is what you will need if you want to get anywhere with your degree.
Honestly, if you want to stay at an undergraduate level (literally nothing wrong with this) then neither fields of study will be a good fit for you.

Left image is a T1 transverse MRI of the brain. Looks like there is nothing in the left side of the skull. Probably intentional left hemispherectomy from possibly intractible epilepsy?
Right image is a coronal T2 showing the CSF filling up the empty space where the left brain used to be.
How far can it go? where is the line drawn?
When people are said to have willed their way out of cancer, was it exactly by willpower that their brain decided to agree with what they wanted? or was it something else?
>>8623674
It´s essentially the power to resist inner pain, the ability to create a dominant conscious narrative over subconscious narratives like pain, fear and others.
I don´t know how it´s formed. I do know though, that it´s very much possible to train your willpower with excerzises and constant testing of your limits. Also a lot of it seems to be inherited.
I guess it´s one of the things we´ll never get a real clue on.
>>8623674
They often call it 'grit' and they say its 37% inheritable. As far as healing abilities go I would assume it to be closely related to placebo effects which can often be more powerful than actual medication, so yes I do think its possible. I also think its possible to die from no cause except placebo or psycho somatic illness.

>>8623674
it goes anywhere.
the universe is completely deterministic. The amount of pain you feel when you do something doesnt change that one bit, you were gonna do that anyway.
haha
or are you ac onfirmed idiot who still doesnt know that the brain is chemical and electrical impulses
>in community college physics course
>prof is talking about light
>says light has energy
>raise my hand
>Tell him that can't be true because light is a mass less particle
>Tell him e = mc^2 demonstrates this fact, as 0xc^2 = 0
>He insists that mass has energy
>i tell him to prove it
>tells me i should just take is word for it because he's the teach
>I walk out of the class pissed off
Just because you're the teacher doesn't mean you're right.
I guess i can't be too supersized, it's a community college after all.
Can anybody give me tips on how i can BTFO him when i get back to his class?
>>8621788
Dafug "has energy" means?

You're like a little baby
A weak mind such as yourself should listen to my story and take notes
Couple weeks into calculus 1 now, doing well, already past the chain rule and beyond. Quotient rule was a joke. Product rule remains my specialty.
I ask my professor his thoughts on quantum mechanics and partial derivatives. He's impressed i know about the subject. We converse after class for some time, sharing mathematical insights; i can keep up. He tells me of great things ahead like series and laplacians. I tell him i already read about series on wikipedia. He is yet again impressed at my enthusiasm. What a joy it is to have your professor visibly brighten when he learns of your talents.
And now I sit here wondering what it must be like to be a brainlet, unable to engage your professor as an intellectual peer.
All of the deep conversations you people must miss out on because you aren't able to overcome the intellectual IQ barrier that stands in the way of your academic success... it's so sad.
My professor and I know each other on first name basis now, but i call him Dr. out of respect.
And yet here you brainlets sit, probably havent even made eye contact with yours out of fear that they will gauge your brainlet IQ levels.
A true shame, but just know it is because i was born special that i am special. I can't help being a genius, nor can my professor.
Two of a kind is two flocks in a bush.
>>8621788
Sorry lad, he's pretty much right about what he's saying. Sometimes you just have to accept that you're wrong. You don't have to be ashamed.
Who are the most cancerous people associated with STEM?
Albert Einstein. Fedora-tipping pseud and complete fraud.
>>8620968
Pop science people, skeptics (despite their best intentions, their understanding of science is /pol/tier), elsevier and other publishers, engineers, video game fedoras, geeks, there's more I'm sure.
>>8620989
I need to bang my genius cousin so I can become famous too.
On second thought Mileva looks a little homely.
Scientifically is this the deadliest blade?
>>8615519
Don't be a dirk.
Wouldn't the deadliest blade be the one that's hardest to remove it which would do the most damage upon being removed?
How are you measuring deadliest? Least amount of effort? A guillotine isn't much effort once the setup is complete.
You need more than 10cm to reach the heart through the chest. Reliably you'd want a lot more. Especially if the person is fat.
So I'm gonna go with the nuclear blade.
It is a knife that when you press a button on top the nuclear device next to it goes supercritical and kills everyone around.
"degrees Kelvin"
"fahrenheit"
>>8615198
For a few years, that was the correct way of saying it.
>>8615208
Yeah but just because people used to do it didn't make it right in that moment.
>At the Department of Energy, it would roll back funding for nuclear physics and advanced scientific computing research to 2008 levels, eliminate the Office of Electricity, eliminate the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and scrap the Office of Fossil Energy, which focuses on technologies to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

Thank you alt right for proving why we as a species are doomed to fail. Time to start learning mandarin if you guys hope to get a research career.
>>8625165
Why do you need them to do the research?
>>8625215
The equipment and materials are very expensive because they are not mass produced and require very niche and expert resources.
My ex worked in a bioengineering lab, and it was very common to write multi-million dollar grant proposals in order to be able to afford buying basic supplies (specialized microscope, chemical supplies, etc.).
If these national organizations cut funding, then there is no money for professors to do research. They won't be able to afford supplies.
>>8625165
Not only will scientists leave the country, but people thinking about studying in America might not be as enticed to do their research in the states.
I am seriously thinking about leaving the country after one or two years. We will see how bad this term gets.
Had the craziest experience of my life today.
>Was walking home from uni.
>Guy goes up to me and asks if i want a free personality test
>Dont mind if i do.jpeg
>Just did it to humor myself i knew it was some type of scam cause he wanted me to follow him somewhere on the way he talks about scientology and tries to be friendly, asks where im from am I a student etc.
>I happen to know shit about this from memes.jaypeg.
>He starts talking about scientology.
>Talk to him about L Ron Hubbard the founder of scientology (learnt from southpark lol)
>Ask him where hes from what he does etc
>He says hes from Taiwan, was a believer in scientology since last year
>We get there
>Clean as fuck place, had a really expensive lift, beautiful garden etc
>Take the personality test (consists of MCQ questions of basic shit like how you feel how do you deal with anger/whatever, how would you react in x scenario)
>I finish
>They analyse my sheet and tell me how im depressed and more bullchit from that test
>Might be true but doesn't have an credibility in the test and the structure of their experiment, I don't bother pressing this and arguing, im here just experience shit
>3 different people try to bait me into buying their scientology book and dvds
>I answer them genuinely in a way thats its impossible to deny
>(e.g they'd say do you think its possible to save/help someone)
>My answer would consist of "Yeah, to a certain degree, in the end though, no matter what doctrine you follow you have to save yourself, no one can teach you that"
>They just carry on with some other bs
>I realize every time a guy cant figure out what to say to me a smarter one comes a long (At first it was 2 Taiwanese people who could barely speak english)
>A 12 year old kid walks in
>Couldnt believe my fucking eyes they are literally kidnapping kids off the street baiting them with a """""""free personality test"""""""""
>I swear this is fucking illegal, I thought in my mind
>Ask the kid how old he is
>kid: Im 12
>I ask if he knows anyone here and if he just got baited
>He says he knows no one and he followed a guy
>What the fuck.jaypeg are kids really this dumb?
>I told him to grab his shit and follow me
>I go outside and ask him hasnt his parents told him not to talk to strangers or follow random peoplle you dont know
>Blank stare.jpg
>I tell him to fuck off and go home and not to follow strangers (ironic how he followed me)
>Spend another 30 minutes at scientology there humoring them
>Build a profile of the people there and pretty much came to a conclusion that they were orphans / brain washed at an early age or just human trafficked in general
>Feel kinda bad cause they seem really genuine about it, but I know theyre either threated to do it or have no self awareness
>Last person I talk to seemed to be somewhat scientifically minded, she talks about how she studies nutrition and that psychology is bs as its not backed up with science
>I think to myself thats pretty ironic but I obviously don't tell her this
>I ask her what University she went to
>She said "University isn't everything you know"
>I said I agree and that theres many pathes in life you can take
>Talk some more
>She tries to sell shit to me (not surprised)
>I had enough
>Just end the conversation and say how I gotta be somewhere
>I get the idea and bored then leave
Can anyone help me with this question?
Write a highestScore function to find out the index of the array member whose value is the highest.
Declareand initializeone score array and one name array(The two arrays have the same size). The same index number in these two arrays represent the record of the sameperson. For instance, if name[2] = “Mike”and score[2] = 82, it means that Mike’s score is 82.b.Call the highestScore functionto find the index. Then print out the name andscore of the person with the highest score.

The real world isn't 4chan. You should know that copy pasta is retarded and employers use that as a screen. Good job wasting all that paper though
I feel like I'm wasting my time and brain power while I'm still young. I've always been slightly advanced, but never the smartest in the room even. I know I have the capability to be because I have the want and drive to get there, but I don't know my passions. I want to deeply study subjects but I can't find something that interests me. Anyone else know the feel?
same here, just can't find anything interesting.
Same here dude, what I'm doing is just putting myself in situations where I have to do something to survive. It works, try it.
>>8624605
You sound like you have 0 talents but are still trying to heavily trick yourself into believing you are "smart". Not smart in a particular way, just "smart" in some abstract sense of : ' Okay, I may be shit now but when I finally find my talent then I will be smart '.
Here is a hint, buddy: Smart people don't have that problem. Terence Tao was 3 when he found his passion was pure mathematics.
If you are over 18 (you are here so...) and you still haven't found that thing you are ridiculously good at then you are not smart. Go collect some stamps in the humanities department.
Is multiverse theory really the end of science?
http://cosmos.nautil.us/feature/120/the-crisis-of-the-multiverse
>>8624430
It isn't even an actual theory man. It's more or less a vague concept.
>>8624438
I don't know. It seems that the world of physics is having an existential crisis over it all the same.
>believes repeated division of the remainder by two will ever produce a zero
Claim. Let x be a rational number. x/2^n =/= 0.
Proof.
- Suppose x/2^n = 0.
- Then x = 2^n * 0
- x = 0
This also disproves the famous 0,999... = 1 -illusion.
just hide it, guys
>>8624358
This is wrong on so many different levels.
>>8624364
Give proof. Currently my proof is standing victorious, undefeated, shining example of mastery of mathematics. You on the other hand are just yelling like a feeble child.
