Who wants to discuss the book that ended Karl Popper and Falsifiability fags forever?
>implying it did
>>8621183
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
>>8621010
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.

>you are always using your brain.you are always using your brain. You think you may be impulsive but you still make a decision.
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.

How's high school treating you?
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.
>>8624246
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.

cool story bro
Imagine recording a dream and posting it on youtube. When is the technology coming?
You can't "record" subjective experience
>>8623706
im currently working on something similar, i measure the activity in your brain via eeg and by other means and we are able to predict the dreams of probands with an accuracy of 78%.
>>8623706
imagine we could make u straight instead of gay when is the technology coming lmaoo
When will """data science""" as a profession die out? I'm tired of normies falling for the data science meme and driving down wages

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?
release it anonymously here on this webzone
>>8622568
>and that my family would have an "accident" if my data would go public
lmao what there are so many retard creationists already and none of them are being assassinated
hell, the secretary of education is one

How does one build a hydrogen bomb? I need to know because reasons.
>mine uranium ore
>convert to yellowcake using a youtube tutorial
>use a centrifuge (bucket with a rope) to enrich it to weapons grade uranium
>build a potato cannon and plug one end with uranium
>make another potato shaped piece of uranium to fire at the plug
>rig up some sparklers for a fuse
>if you want thermonuclear just put a beaker of deuterium nearby before lighting the fuse
>>8621531
Water+banana paste.
>>8621531
Consult Google for plans.
(Pretty simple really)
Obtain weapons grade fissionable material.
(Not so simple)

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?
>>8621199
???
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
I'm setting out to learn all I can about QFT and QED, with the primary goal of one day participating in collision detector data analysis. Can anyone recommend me some shortcuts?
Nobody is gonna accept you to a particle accelerator project if you don't have a degree of mediocrity no matter your knowledge on the subject
>>8621147
>degree of mediocrity
What?
>>8621154
All degrees from all universities jusy prove that you are mediocre, you have the ability to do what you are told to do and you can solve problems which already have a solution. I know, I have one myself

ITT we post pics of our best lecturers.
This is Dmitri, he talks very slowly, often goes off on a tangent and has great deadpan humour.
pic related its lew landau.

He'd be my fav lecturer too
>>8623940
nope, he'd be a reason of your dropout
