I have not been in a lab for a while, but I disapprove of your dirty beaker. Go give it a nice steam bath.

>>8616165
Its crusted with iron oxide from electrolysis. It's going to need a little more than a steam bath.

>>8616167

Yikes! Well, I hope whomever did that at least made some nice bling.

What was the name of the book?

Typo Pb? Lead is found in meteorites and used for Uranium decay dating.

>>8615937
I thought it was Pb too but it didn't match the spectral lines

Bi- is to English as Di- is to Greek

that is too many burger

Oh, so chemical names have Greek origin, not Latin? There's fuckin weird.

Thanks.

>many worlds interpretation

>>>/x/

This is a Bohmian mechanics board.

>>8615137
Which is even worse bogus

>>8615137

Well, that was part of my question.

Even though I took quantum physics, I don't know near enough to interpret almost any of the articles discussing quantum computers.

I heard a description (I think the CEO of DWave) which suggested that qubits are somehow borrowing compute power from a different dimension.

That sounds like non-sense to me, but they supposedly are using that interpretation to build an implementation of a quantum computer.

Or do you think DWave isn't really a quantum computer and that description is bunk?

Do normalfags actually think this is difficult or astonishing?

The door should have been locked (or no handle on the inside at all) with him having a safe word to end the experiment.

Also, after watching episode 2, it feels like it's going to be a repeat of Head Games.

There's dating site specifically for people who are HIV positive.

So just wear a condom and hope you don't get a superinfection!

Goddamn. That would piss me off. Kill your parents for me, OP.

Is your mother a whore or something?

/sci/ used to be full of decent tier medfags... it's now an autistic STEM meme board I see

What did the Endo actually do? PRA results? Any abnormals on the CMP?

Take a creatinine and electrolytes. Also ask about licorice consumption. Ultrasound renal arteries for fibromuscular dysplasia.

when your life accomplishments are being a fat shit, ripping off another person's video game concept to badly design and program a video game that luckily became very popular giving you lots of money, you use that money for all sorts of things normal people use money for. But then when you have everything arleady, you realise that you are a fat shit that has contributed nothing to the world, you are going to die alone because you have no family, all your friends have a price tag, and you have left no conceivable achievements that further the growth and wellbeing of humanity (instead, you have spawned a creation that has addicted millions of young children, now under the sedation of microsoft and google). You realise this, sitting among all your hookers, fake money-friends and billion dollar house that despite all that you have, you are still a fat shit and no one cares about you. It is therefore understandable that the man in that pic is bored and miserable

Science don't explain anything, a great exemple is: feelings

>>8613753
Bored people are boring people. Happiness is something one has go pursue on its own right. It rarely comes to people willingly.

Infinite monkey + infinite time + LaTeX = secrets of the universe.

If you had an infinite amount of monkeys you wouldn't need infinite time lol

>>8612799
Infinite means all the possible outcomes, so yeah, I believe so.

>>8612588

well if it sa top university you will have top professors right and they will help you to get over your knowledge leaks.

This is what atheists literally believe. That if left to sit long enough, life will develop in the waste bucket everyone dumps their shit in at the end of OChem Lab.

>>8607810
Also a 2nd year ChemE student, and you have my dream position. Any tips/warnings for getting into the industry? If you dont mind me asking, whos your employer?

>>8607927
Try doing some home brewing so you can start understanding the industry, got my job by giving the interviewer a beer I had made myself. The processus is mainly biochemistry, so I hope you like biology/biochem. However, chemE is also very useful as transport phenomena and the likes will help you optimise the different processus.
Sorry but I don't like to post personal infoon 4chan so I can't say who I work for.

Watching that video yesterday made me very hopeful for the future of mathematics. In the past I have doubted if we can really do mathematics without reals but this just does it. This is how you replace reals with rationals.

And think about it for a second. Real numbers are defined as cauchy sequences of rational numbers (or as cuts which are very similar) but then through logic we can prove that basically lines are perfectly continuous and that means we have to be less rigorous in the future. We can simply call a number "root 2" and we know it is there.

Wildberger is making this more rigorous. Instead of making a set of cauchy sequences (reals), what he is asking is that in any problem you literally prove that such a sequence exist.

Think about it. You have a never ending family of [math] w_1 , w_2 , ... w_i , ... [/math] rational numbers. That never ending family is a cauchy sequence! And then [math] p ( w_i ) [/math] is a cauchy sequence which convergence to 0.

Wildberger did it! In the past cauchy sequences were a brainlet tool to make problems easier and that is where the problem with reals come from. When you say "lol there are just reals everywhere, don't worry about it ;^)" then you ignore a lot of the complications with real numbers but here Wildberger is very explicit. To solve a polynomial with a real root you must literally find the cauchy sequence and be very explicit about it and its quadrance.

It is simply amazing. I now definitely think this man can rewrite analysis in terms of rational numbers. It is amazing.

he just said that he is working on a calculus course.

sounds like you're number 1.

>>8602324
Yes, gifted people are more aware about the limits and uses of philosophy, and that it is more about enjoying thinking rather than the utilities it provides
But none of the gifted people I met considered it useless or time consuming, they actually loved philosophical discussions without an exception

>>8602324
let me guess, you consider yourself type 3?

>>8615798
Depends on what you want to focus on. Certain schools have better faculty in specific areas.

>>8615803
whats MIT known for?

>>8615798
obviously LSE or Cambridge retard
