Does anyone else feel that the entirety of science (and mathematics) is trivial?
I think I must just be literally to smart to study science.
We can pretend all we want that just because scientific concepts can be presented in a complicated fashion, hidden under a shit-ton of specialized terminology, they are therefore "sophisticated." But, ultimately, we must admit that this is a delusion. All scientific concepts can be boiled down into analogies so simple that a pop-sci brainlet can understand them. There is no sophistication. Our efforts to "truly understand" these concepts are pointless.

Okay, Einstein. Give me a good analogy for electromagnetic waves' correlation with the speed of light.
Sure. If science is soooo easy, then why do all the really smart scientists have cool beards? Darwin, Mendelev, uhhh.... Darwin again...
Are you calling beards trivial? They're obviously a sign of intelligence/superiority. And if all the genieouses like science, how is science in itself not a geniius?
Checkmate, jealous brainlett.

Nice. You really got me there.
Also, let's not forget that the "greatness" of the ancient Greeks is merely a meme passed down through the ages. Nobody even gave a shit about them until the Renaissance, and as we all know, the people back then were gullible dumbasses. Intellectuals today only worship the supposed ancient thinkers to feel better about themselves and validate their autistic pursuits. The same applies to all of the "great" scientists.

Electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light because electromagnetic waves are light waves. The electromagnetic wave can be described by a wave equation whose phase velocity is a fixed constant (which we get by taking the inverse of the square root of two other physical constants multiplied together), and that constant is the speed of light.

You're in the edgy nihilist phase, where you think that everything is pointless, people are horrible and hypocritical which is why they worship the "ancients". You'll snap out of it eventually and realise the profound effect that insignificant ancient memes like Plato, Aristotle, Archimedes, Democritus and Pythagoras had on the progress of mankind. There's a reason whole boards like /sci/, /lit/ and /his/ worship them, and it's not because they're all sheeple who have never seen the utter blackness of existence like you have.

>whole boards
You say that as if there are more than 20 people who post on those boards.

It's a poll inquiring after anons' majors a month ago, thread went on for a few days. 638 posters. And /sci/ is the lowest traffic board out of the three I mentioned in my post.

Do you know how many people say this on /sci/?
You would think there would be more intelligent people in real life if everything was so easy.

if your soo smart then prove p = np. faggot

No. It just sounds like you're depressed. Having trouble sleeping/waking up?

I've got good news and bad news, Anon.
You're retarded.
On the bright side, there is room to learn.

Cool, you may be able to answer this for me:
Is every even integer greater than 2 expressable as the sum of two primes?
I need the answer by tomorrow, and with a proper mathematical proof of it.

Now give your answer with evidence and references.
They are.
