/sci/ - Science & Math

So I have been lurking on this board of and on and it has come to my attention that there needs to be some education about a lot of your guy’s talking points. Science and the the terms used in the field are empirical and very straight forward, so i will cover some basic terminology and misconceptions i see the most

1. Energy
I feel like this is the most misunderstood and misused term. “Energy” energy is simply the ability to do work. Now if you flush your brain and take that basic stated concept and apply it impractically “Work” simply a force acting upon an object.

2. Theory
The term “ conspiracy theory” or “it’s just a theory” in itself is scientifically wrong. In a proper use a “theory” is the highest substantiated amount of evidence that a prediction or hypothesis can grant. People often misuse this as speculation or a thought.

3. Matter
The concept of matter is simple. “Matter” has mass and can be substantiated by observations or measured at the molecular level. Matter has 3 simple forums, a gas, a solid or liquid. All measurable matter has mass which will get into our next few points

4.volume

Volume is the amount of matter occupying a space. You can have a small amount of matter over a large space or a large amount of matter is a small space, the ladder creating more density.

Science is empirical and can justify all observations and phenomena to our current understanding of science. I would be happy to discuss any of these points or have people add their own to be debated/discussed

Bachelor's - yes. You'd be on the higher part of the threshold. ME is considered one of the less demanding engineering disciplines.

If you want to get graduate degrees, or try a harder engineering discipline, a 120 IQ will work only if you're a non Asian or Arab minority, a woman, or (((white))).

What are the units of tension in a string?

He's not a scientist and he did not achieve anything in science you mongrel.

>radians aren't "real" units!

>Hurr durr I dont know that 3 sigma actually denotes a one in a 300 year event so i'm just going to dismiss this as insignificant.

>All the material I've reviewed shows the particle beam aimed between the two slits.
Yes.
But classically the particles are going to hit the wall and bounce back since they are not aimed at the slits.
Specifically if you close one slit, the pattern will still form but again classically not particle is going to go through since the beam and the slit are not aligned.

How the fuck do you mesoure love?

Is there a guide to creating mathematical models or some sort of structured approach?

Doesn't mean i'm wrong, I linked you to youtube because you will see it with your own eyes.

So the true loss is you for your ignorance, maybe start studying more so you can understand.

Literally proof infront of your face and you want someone to type it out for you.

Never in my life, have I seen a board with such a high amount of retards.

So you guys study science, yet the majority don't believe in a God? How do I even argue with someone that thinks we just popped up here without any outside intelligence.

Majority of you will only be good enough to be loyal smart NPCs, and will never build anything serious for yourself.

A lot of this is common sense, aliens are on earth studying us. They think we are fucking retarded because look, how are we going to try communicating with aliens in the most primitive ways?

There are a few smart people, 2 percent of this board is capable of having an intelligent conversation with me.
