Redpill me on studying robotics, /sci/
How would one go from high school to college to a career helping advance the field of robotics, in whatever capacity they may, be it in medicine, industry, housecare, or space exploration.
>>8597257
Do EE or Mech, get a job in robotics industry. There are several big ones in every continents, and a lot of smaller companies serving those bigger ones. That's it.
Don't do meme degree like Mechatronics. Less standarized.
>>8597268
what about the programming of robots? should i learn both?
Depends on which aspect of robotics you want to focus on. Mechanical, electrical, or programming. Computer Engineering is good if you want to develop a good understanding of both programming and electronics.
I think we should call element 119 "vonneumannium". Thoughts?
>>8597015
I think it should be Banium because that's a big atom 4 μ
>>8597015
We should name it "Niggerium", because it's completely useless and cost the taxpayer a lot of money
>>8597015
Has it actually been synthesized?
I have an idea. Supposedly the rocket equation implies that the more faster each particle you expel goes then the quicker you move.
So why do rockets just explode stuff and ride over it? seems extremely wasteful, youre bound to run out of mass which is your only constraint.
But on the other hand, there's no constraint on exit speed, just direct particles away from you as fastest as possible and then you have a perfect rocket. Seriously just like make a machine that shoots things at an incredibly ginormous speed but expel very little of it. There you dont run out of mass
I seriously doubt this can be that hard, at the very least their evin "lol explode stuff under uss and ride the explosion" seems so retarded than the only explanation i can think of for this being popular is the fact that americans invented rocketry and sometimes "tradition" plays a bigger role than real intelligence and intelect.
>>8597013
so why doesn't the LHC fly away it shoots a few protons at almost light speed??
>>8597079
too little protons, obviously need a bit more, theres obviously a balance, im not an engineer but also not an idiot without doing any math but looking at the basic principle its obvious you can do better
>>8597013
Trolling?
>americans invented rocketry
uhh
>lol explode stuff under uss
That's why you have nozzles. It direct's the explosion to get the optimal kick. There are different nozzles for atmosphere and vacuum.
The only project with the uncontrolled explosions under the vessel was Orion (with the a-bombs).
The ion drives accelerate ions to great speeds. There is little mass used. Those engines are very efficient. Unfortunately the force they apply is low, so it's only usefull in space on unmanned probes.
Now if you come up with a mass driver engine that works - give us a call.
Do you get faster at learning from neurological POV (ignoring improvements you made)? Or do you retain information better if you learn on a regular basis?
Any studies on this?
Also no bully please, new to this board but I want to improve.

Only real improvement is achieved by studying harder
All other techniques are trivial
You will understand this the more you study
So just start and push yourself
>>8597016
Thank anon, much appreciated.
so i have a statistic exam coming up and i need the wisdom of 4chan to help me.
i have an assignment on have to calculate y-hat do any of you know the function on a Ti-nspire cas calculator??
Excel would not be bad to know either ^^
If you can use a cas in a exam your college is for retards

very helpful ty

if it was good enough for Paul Dirac,
then it's good enough for you fgt pls
What is a good introductory book for topology?
Munkres I think is the name of the author?
>>8592623
i was also thinking about that book, i should pick it up the, it's really cheap on amazon
What, in a laymen's nutshell, is topology? What are its applications?
What are you retards taking this semester?
>>8590526
>taking evolution
>taking pleb tier Pchem

Evolution and physical methods are my blowoff classes for an easy A. I already took PChem.

What is the oldest branch of engineering? Mechanical? Civil? Military? Systems?
>>8584988
Military
>>8585004
And I'd put civil as second.

If Earth really is round, how come the penguins in Antarctica aren't falling off the planet? If we really live on a round ball that is rotating 1,040 mIles per hour, why don't we feel it rotating at that speed? That would surely kill us.
When you are in a car and you witness another car driving at the same speed as you, it can be perceived that both of you are stationary and the environment is the one that is moving.
Understand that concept first.
>>8584512
well, why should earth, the only planet we know with life, be the same as all the others without life?
sage hide and report all that bait, also cry all night in a corner and masturbate to furryporn, consider suicide, hyperventilate, smoke weed, everybody walk the dinosaur
google failed me. It has been years since I took chem.
On a molecular level what is it about alcohol that defrosts windows so efficiently? I feel confident it has to do with ethanol electromagnetically, but I cant get much beyond that. Was defrosting my windows this morning and am frustrated I cannot figure it out. Thanks in advance.
>>8598915
it evaporates quickly
>>8598915
It lowers the freezing point, and has poorer hydrogen bonding than water does.
>>8598915
Interesting question.
Quick googling didn't give satisfactory answer.
Naive guess would be the alcohol acts as a solvent, and the final solution has lower freezing point.
This may come off as completely retarded, forgive me. But I know a bunch of assholes who think 65 degrees in summer is cold, but warm in the winter.
Like they will wear short sleeves and shit in scenario 2, but put a jacket on in the former.Is there an explanation for this? Wind is not a factor btw.
>>8598884
Because you're used to being cold in the winter and the opposite in the summer.
I'm Canadian so I know what I'm talking about.
>>8598884
Fahrenheit is not scientific.
Use Celsius.

Advice, /sci/? I don't give a flying shit about dying normies and I'm too scared to an hero
>>8598678
Surely it has to be easier to be a doctor than a physicist or some shit like that. Rote memorization.
if you don't want to work hard, go be a store manager or something. 30k a year is a fortune if you're single and live somewhere that isn't NewCaliforniaYork.
>>8598681
Op is probably an autist though. Doctors have to be face to face with patients and can't mutter shit under their breathe and try to run away from encounters.
I bet /sci/ can't even do a simple mathematical proof.
Prove the following statement:
For any integer n greater than 2, no three integers x, y and z exist so that x^n + y^n = z^n. (with x,y,z > 0, n > 2)
I haven't tried it myself, but induction seems like a reasonable approach.

>I bet /sci/ can't even do a simple mathematical proof.
So?
You feel better than us?
Good for you.
>>8598495
I wrote out a truly marvelous proof of this, which this comment box is too small to contain.
Right? I mean, it's pretty good for describing phenomenon, and predicting their occurrence... but it's bullshit.
Prove me wrong (right).
>>8598405
Prove you wrong for what? Of your opinion?
>>8598420
That empirical science is not, on it's face, bullshit
It's great for making things like microwaves, but it's just useless for determining absolute truths. We know gravity works because it deforms space-time, but we don't know why the fuck it does that. Even the scientific model of gravity is kind of shitty, because it can't explain the rotational speed of the outer rim of the galaxy (the stars should be flying into space but don't). We need to make up shit like Dark Matter to make it fit.
Before you get on my ass, Dark Matter is absolutely invented horseshit.

If you continue on the same plane everything is bullshit
But science is still less bullshit than anything
Yeah the extreme trust on science might be misleading for brainlets, but still it is still necessary for pragmatic reasons
