best advice ever.

M9 has sick graphics processing. Used to use matlab, never again.

Hey /sci/!

Why does mathematics describe the nature so perfectly? Almost everything in the nature can be expressed as series as equations. Why? Is there some underlying cause to this?

What is information?

There's no such thing as big or small, high or low, near or far, etc.

Since there's no objective tall or short, we can only compare objects with terms such as taller and shorter, but there's no such thing as tall and short.

Nature is perfect. Everything that happens in nature is fundamentally supposed to happen. Matter is created and changed so that planets and plants and animals exist. Life is just a way matter has organized. So is man. Nature makes no mistakes. So, since man is a product of nature, he is, essentially, just as flawless. Everything man does is supposed to happen as it's part of nature's way. You can't blame volcanoes for erupting or lions for killing their prey. Everything man creates is just a more complex form of organization of matter.
tl;dr Man is part of nature and everything he does is nature's way.
What do you think?

Srsly, you are too stupid for science

2 > 1
2/4 > 1/4
log1/2 > log1/4
log1/2 > log(1/2)^2
log1/2 > 2log1/2
1 > 2
If you disagree, you're retarded.

Hey guy.

What if the Universe never existed?
As in. The mass that existed in the big bang. what if that never came into being. same with the energy. What if the vast empty space never existed either?

What if there was truly nothing. TRULY NOTHING. Can you even fathom it? If the very atoms and energy that makes up your nerve cells never existed to conceive of the problem.

I mean. Think of the universe. all of that matter and energy. and think about when time was at absolute 0. and imagine if that single tiny cluster never existed, along with the space. Never ever existed. Like, there was no universe.

What...
What would that even MEAN?

Atoms and particles behave in probabilistic ways but our minds are made of atoms and particles, so how can free will exist?

That's what you forgot!

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Suppose that P(A|B) = P(A), P(A and B) = .54, and P(B) = .9
What is P(A)?

Suppose Mike knows April is allergic to poppy seeds. Mike wants to kill April, so he sprinkles poppy seeds on mary's food. April has an allergic reaction and dies.

Should Mike be punished?

Now suppose Adam believes May is allergic to poppy seeds and puts poppy seeds on her food wanting to kill her. May is in fact, unbeknownst to Adam, not allergic to poppy seeds and is in fact deathly allergic to peanuts. The chef accidentally put peanuts in the same dish that Adam put the poppy seeds in causing May to have an allergic reaction and die.

Adam thinks he killed may. Should Adam get punished?

Locker rooms are not separated because of people being attracted to the opposite sex. They are separated by gender. People are more likely to be comfortable changing and pissing around other people with the same physiology. Unless unless you've got a small dick.

Hey guys, what gives the Higgs Boson mass and what does it consist of?

In principle, What stops Black Holes being a sun composed of Dark Matter particles?

In principle, What stops Dark matter behaving similar to Normal Matter where some elements can undergo Fusion? (Apart from not interacting with light, are Dark particles any different? In principle?)

What has been the most noteworthy scientific discovery made within the past year?

We cannot possibly fully understand the world by using the tools in our mind that were originally meant for procreation.

you have 2 job applicants for your airline company.

1) A pilot who never been to pilot school but has been flying succesfully for 5 years.

2) A pilot who has just graduated from pilot school BUT NEVER FLEW A PLANE!

Now..............

Consider the next set of applicants:

1) Same pilot who never graduated from pilot school but it now successful piloting for 11 years

2) Pilot who graduated from pilot school PLUS 5 years of experience.

Keep extrapolating and you see that number 2 gets more and more valuable every time. I sure want a pilot who knows how to fly a plane and has a proven record but i also want a pilot who knows the plane and how it works from theory and that learns more and more based on the prior technical knowledge while applying practical skills.

Hope that explains the thread.

OP with 2+ years of experience > Recent Graduate with 0xp.
Graduate with 2+ years of xp > OP with 6+ years of xp.

>understand SohCahToa but not Pythagorean Theorem

Needless to say I stayed after class one day and got it all sorted out.

If the Large Hadron Collider could, in theory, create [tiny] black holes, than we could also, theoretically, produce [tiny] white holes. If we can master the technology, could it perhaps be turned into a weapon for warfare? Alternatively, we could use these as a defense mechanism against event impacts.

Thoughts?

It is completely futile to argue about what existed before things started existing.

Our human mind is barely capable to understand the things that are existing.
