Does the fact that our mental capabilities are bounded ever bother you? To think that i'm intellectually almost indistinguishable from worms relative to what's biologically and technologically possible is a weird feeling.

Think of the difference between humans and apes, we share a lot of our genome with other apes, we are intellectually vastly superior to lower apes, think of a hominid spices that's intellectually superior to us relative to how intellectually superior we are to other lower apes.

Hi /sci/,

Just saw passengers, and in it there is a scene where Jennifer is trapped in a water "ball" because of zero gravity and cannot escape from it and she drowns (temporarily).

For those who haven't seen the movie, check this vid out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATlwHzJKssQ

Talking about reality, how would something like this unfold exactly in actual real life?

It's fucking dumb because its not like zero gravity would make it harder to swim
>>
Your kicks would push you to one side of the ball and the ball towards the other side. Conservation of momentum. The surface tension is not enough to keep you from surfacing.
>>
>>8604528
well the water would certainly try to form a ball, but I doubt the forces acting on it would be big, we're taking about cohesive forces here.
There is also no reason why you couldn't just swim out.

In set theory ordered pairs are represented as {{a},{a,b}}. Can someone explain how this works? Sets can be unordered so {{a}, {a,b}} is the same as {{a,b}, {a}} so how do you use the above to know that {{a}, {a,b}} represents (a,b)?

Also, say that a=b then {{a}, {a,a}}

From here how do you reduce this to {{a}}?

Is it because {{a}, {a,a}} is the set that contains {a}, {a, a} and {a, a} and {{a,a}} can be re-written as {{a}, {a}} so this reduces to {{a}} and using the same principles with {{a}, {a,a}}you get {{a}, {a}, {a}} which is simply {{a}} ?

>>8604522
Compare the representation of (a, b) with (a, a) and (b, a) and you'll see they are all different.

{{a}, {a, a}} = {{a}, {a}} = {{a}}
>>
>>8604522
>From here how do you reduce this to {{a}}?

Not possible. {{a}} and {{a},{a,a}} are two different sets.

Anyways to know that {{a},{a,b}} is (a,b) you simply need to know:

The first element is a if and only if {a} is an element of the ordered pair {{a},{a,b}}

And the second element is b if and only if {(first element, in this case a),b} is an element of the set.

It is as simple as that. Say you have the set {{1},{1,2}}

The first element is the one that such that {element} is in the set, and if we try {2}, that is not in the set. If we try {1} then that is in the set.

Now we know what the first element is so we construct {1,x} and then set x=2 and find that such an element is in the set, therefore that x is our second element. And x=2 so 2 is our second element.
>>
>>8604532
Thanks here is my follow up question:

We have {{1},{1,2}} representing (a,b)

Since the first element is {1} then we have (a,b)

Now we look for {2} in {{1},{1,2}}

but is {2} an element of {1,2} ? this confuses me.

Please give me your opinion on a uni course, /sci/

After High School, I will work and study at the Forschungszentrum Jülich, one of the largest research centers in Europe. I will do what we call a "duales Studium" here in Germany, which means that I'll get a bachelor degree (bsc in Scientific Programming) and a job training as a mathematical-technical software developer. "Scientific Programming" is mostly applied mathematics with computer science. Here is link for further information: https://www.fh-aachen.de/en/course-of-study/scientific-programming-bsc/ (only in German, sorry)

I am sure to do this no matter what you guys say, but I would be very interested to hear your opinions on this course. I would also like to know if any of you have studied or worked at the Forschungszentrum Jülich and what your experiences were.

pic not related, I just like cats

Isn't duales Studium like super competitive to get? You're not a failure, leave 4ch.

It's too bad HPC is kinda dead. But you can always get traditional software engineering jobs.
>>
>>8604410
Kinda weird, considering modern scientific programming is done in C++, C, and Fortran. Language supported by the Intel compiler basically. C++, in particular, seems to be the language of choice in Germany.

No biggie though, being in Jülich, they must have free workshops and seminars of scientific C++ and Fortran.

Why doesn't the scientific community criticize marxism for it's anti-scientific theories more? It's on par with homeopathy and scientology.

They actually believe humans don't have biological instincts and that the "mode of production", meaning capitalism, socialism etc defines ALL human behavior.

It's quite unscientific to say the least.

A political or economical ideology is not inherently or objectively anti-science unless the main stated goal is to destroy or abolish science.

What's more is that it wouldn't be hard to claim that any ideology X is anti-Y based on conjecture. Using such vague generalizations is sloppy thinking, Anon. Anyone with a will/desire to find ideology X guilty of being anti-Y will find ideology X of being anti-Y.

tl;dr: Shit thread, inherently and objectively.

Okay fine.

Yes, let's defend a theory that denies evolution because they happen to be leftist.

Why would scientists waste their time criticising sociological theory, such as social conflict theory, which is what Marxism is. If you're trained in chemistry, you don't have the foundation of knowledge in politics, philosophy, psychology, sociology, or economics to form a good critique.
