Faggot who studied hard vs genius who could calculate natural logarithms mentally

Gee, I wonder.

>Ibn al-Haytham attributed his experimental scientific method and scientific skepticism to his Islamic faith. He believed that human beings are inherently flawed and that only God is perfect. He reasoned that to discover the truth about nature, it is necessary to eliminate human opinion and error, and allow the universe to speak for itself.[38]

Why can't all religious people make this much sense?

Why does everyone assume that all the great mathematicians and everyone of those kinds of people had ridiculously high IQs? The only reason they were as smart as they were was because the education was open to them at the time. The most brilliant scientists NOW have 100x the material to learn and aren't nearly 150 IQ+ freaks (save for some).

This. The math you'll have with that will make you good for anything like that since an actual astrophysics job is shit.

And number 3.

Time to break this out again.

>It was said of him at Princeton that, while he was indeed a demigod, he had made a detailed study of humans and could imitate them perfectly.[34]


What the fuck does this mean?

Tangent is a definition. It's just sin divided by cos. By definition.

What else can it be?

I live and go to school in Ontario. In what schools do they offer "AP" anything?

I took ENG4U, SPH4U, SCH4U, MHF4U, MDM4M and MCV4U in high school. There was no "AP" anything - U was the highest of any course.

Semantics. This is what's wrong with the scientific world - idiots trying to be smart. Aspies trying to use common sense.

Photons at different energy levels are different "color". The reason you shirt is red is because all wavelengths are absorbs, but red "light" or photons in the energy level we perceive as "red" is emitted.

2. Everything is a laser. A beam of light is a laser - the only difference is the intensity.

3. They go from infinity to very small. They go from having wavelengths infinitely big to having wavelengths smaller than an atom. Gamma rays are the ones with the short, fast ones. Radio waves are long and slow.

>Nothing else in the observable universe is allowed to disobey the laws of thermodynamics; so why is the universe itself as a whole any different?

You're an idiot.

There's your rapidshare, guys.
