/sci/ - Science & Math

What is the neurological/biological science behind rote learning? Like, it is a pattern in humans that we tend to learn what we repeat and use more, like the multiplication table, but how does the brain see it?

The Lisps are Science.

Java and the rest are marketing.

Hey /sci/ a while back someone posted this picture saying that he was working on a poster with spoofy science symbols like this. I was wondering if anyone had a more up to date version as I believe he was working on improving it

‘Sup, /sci/?
I need your help.

I’m a graphic-designer that’s currently working on a poster and I could use your input.

Basically the idea for this poster, if you couldn’t already tell, is that I’m making a chart of original warning-signs (in the style of things like OSHA and their standardized system of signs for occupational hazards) that are intended for a work-environment in some sort of science-fiction setting where people are dealing with research/experimentation with topics in Fringe Science (you know, Quantum Physics, Psyionics, Time-Travel, Nanotechnology, Cybernetics, Artificial Intelligence, etc.).
If it makes it any simpler, think of it like I’m designing a set of warning-signs that would be implemented in fictional places like the places where experiments are conducted in shows like Fringe, Warehouse 13, etc.

What I need from you guys is ideas for additional Fringe Science-related hazards I can make signs for.
Also, not that I need it, but if a glyph/pictogram I can make comes to mind to represent whatever science-fictional hazard you come up with, feel free to suggest that, too.
Use that imagination of yours. I’m open to any and all suggestions.

Keep in mind the example I’m showing you now is a ROUGH DRAFT and a WORK IN PROGRESS.
This shit is not done yet, so please, before ya’ judge keep that in mind.

Thanks in advance for any contributions, /sci/.
