I don't think you realise that Kuhn's attack of methodological monism completely annihilates Popper.

I know how ridiculous the title looks but how does one really stops being impulsive and in general really using his brain. And can you overwhelm yourself if you think too much/read too much?

>>8621010
this is more of a /lit/ question
or /his/

becuase scientifically speaking

you are always using your brain. You think you may be impulsive but you still make a decision.
you choose something and you focus on it.
The process is quick almost like a mini seizure but not really. I have no Idea what I am talking about.

this is all freudian, bhuddist, philosophy

Green tea, classical music, hypnosis, sleep, and Adderall (if you are diagnosed).

As an interesting side note, I was reading that the ability to focus on a task at hand might be tightly coupled with IQ.

I know that already but its more of a passive process and I don't want that.
>>8621026
>Green tea
I always prefer to not be dependent on stuff but I might check it out.
>classical music
Already do it but have no idea how it will really help with that
>hypnosis
Which one exactly, if youre talking about these internet ones.
>sleep
Its the thing I care the most about.
>might be tightly coupled with IQ
Is it because concentration seems to be something you can learn but thinking, hardly.

Share your experiences doing undergrad research. I'm mainly interested in mathematics, but everyone is welcome. How was it? How did you end up doing it? Did it help you to get an edge? Would you recommend it? Tips for begginners?

I'm mainly interested because I want to know how research is, and to beef up my credentials. I don't know what I'll end up doing, but I want as many open doors as possible. I'm not really creative or imaginative, and I'm not sure if I should simply pick a topic and go with it, ask a proffessor, etc... so I'm asking you guys.

Pic related, I'm thinking closed and convex shapes will converge to either a circumference or a point, but no fucking idea where to begin, and I started thinking about all this stuff.

Well, I'm (technically) not an undergrad anymore and I don't know if it counts as "research", but I've been reading some books recently, either about physics or electromagnetism. Good stuff, even though the physics book doesn't use the proper notations most of the time.

Next year I'll start my double-diploma with a master in Optics and nanotechnology, and maybe do some actual research there
>>
>>8624246
Not math, nevertheless;
>How was it?
Meh. The PhD student was nice enough to add my name to the paper.
>How did you end up doing it?
Just ask. Some will not respond, some will. Mine was under UROP system.
>Did it help you to get an edge?
Perhaps, dunno. Grades is still number 1 though.
>Would you recommend it?
Sure, to breaks the monotony. Prevents burnout.
>Tips for begginners?
First priority is still your grades. Chances you're not a genius so part-time undergraduate research is unlikely to produce anything presentable without sacrifices. In general, either the Prof has some topic in mind that you can explore, not solve, or the PhD student has some menial work for you.

Hello, /sci/. Actual scientist here. Involved in biology. I've recently discovered that the theory of evolution is false, and I'm being completely serious. All of the models we have are wrong. The reality is that Earth is a little over 7000 years old. I was about to go to the press but many of my colleagues say that evolution is political now, and that my family would have an "accident" if my data would go public. They say there is too much capital relying on evolution being true for me to prove it incorrect. I am being truthful, and if I was not under threat I would release it here and now.

I am at a crossroads. I want to release my data and disprove this theory, but I worry what might happen to me. What do you recommend I do?

What is it about flywheels that allow them to "smooth out" intermittent power supplies? surely a flywheel would accelerate in an intermittent fashion if it were supplied with an intermittent force?

Just rip the cord as hard as you can bro, no need to math up this shit.

>>8621199
Ideally you would maintain a rot. velocity within a narrow enough range that its output is cleaner than that of your main power supply
>>
>>8621199
yes but the flywheel decelerates constantly because of friction
