If I have and electron then put another electron really far away in space, will electron 1 instantly feel the repulsive force from electron 2 or does the force carry over at the speed of light

Anyone have issues taking notes and paying attention at the same time? If I take notes, I'll have a full page of stuff I don't actually understand because I just mechanically copied whatever was on the blackboard, and if I don't, it means I can focus and actually understand the lecture, but then I'll be more prone to forgetting.

What is refraction?
How does slowing light through a medium cause it to bend? I'm always given the car moving through mud example, but does it really work if it's a single particle or a wave?

I was a typical schoolchad, valedictorian, best uni in country, prestigious internships etc and an unusual amount of money. It required working 24/7 to get there.

Anyway, I got in a car crash and almost died. Is this what I want my life to be? Work, work, work die?

I've put my career on hold and spent the time fucking thots, prostitutes and traps. Actually doing things I enjoy and relaxing, yesterday got in a fight with supermarket security and rando on way home cause why not. I've found this more satisfying than being "successful" ever was. Is it really worth it?

Hear me out. If they truly did, why the fuck would they care at all about their family and friends dying when they're gonna get infinite time in heaven together?

Jesus christ I thought this was the smart board.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't "chronic" imply that said disease can't be cured?

What is the advantage gained from 'preheating' an oven?

How do I cope with being a brainlet?

My head is small for a male and doesn't seem as "full", most people I see have big round heads but mine is kinda flat and narrower at the back than what I've seen in others. Does this mean I'm a brainlet?

>Taking graduate classes at Uni
>Kid in class has complete knowledge of General Relativity, PDE's, spin geometry, and algebra
>He's 20
When did you realize you were a brainlet? Also, share brainlet stories if you have them.

Is intelligence mostly taught or mostly biological? I'm a brainlet and I'd like to be smart someday but if it's a lost cause I'd like to know. What does /sci/ think?

>tfw below average IQ

Will there ever be a cure for brainlets? Anything? Any substance stimulating neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity? Perhaps a neural stem cell transplant? Science must know a solution.

Can someone explain non-cartesian geometry to me?

Am I fucked forever if my brain didn't develop properly due to a bad upbringing?

I never had the loving parents that most people got, my childhood was messed up and I fear my brain has been damaged forever because of it.

>every point in the universe is the center of the universe

Prove to me that you're not a brainlet. What are you doing with your life? (education, field of study, occupation, research) and hopefully I'll see that this board is in good hands. I'll take your word for it
