/sci/ - Science & Math

Which fields and subfields of study benefitted, directly or indirectly, from this man's work?

I must destroy the impurities of this universe. All life must be destroyed. I will start with this world, then the others, and finally myself.

The universe must be pure. I give your world 10 more years (max).

Any physics questions? On how I will destroy all life?

>Why do all physics problems involve ideal situations?

They don't. Only very very very basic physics uses ideal situations. And they just use it as a stepping stone for teaching purposes.

what does /sci/ think of string theory? a valid science, or some kind of scientific 'religion'.

It does revolve around the earth, at approximately 1/86400 hz.

You and Stagolee must return to /lit/

Nope to all your questions.

In science you try to explain a phenomina and how it operates. If there is no observable phenomina (soul) in the first place, you don't theorize about it.

Would you use physics to try and disprove Santa Clause?, nope. There is no evidence for Santa Clause in the first place.

I won't respond anymore more on this subject. I suggest you go over basic logic and the scientific method, if my answer doesn't make sense to you.

>theoric way to go back in time

It depend what you mean by "go back". You can have time loops and werid shit like that in General Relativity. This would actually be "going back in time".

>do you believe there exists a final theorie

Nope

>actual world is exactly describable in mathematical terms

I, like most physicist, believe in an infinite amount of different ranges of validity. Even the standard model is known to only work within a certain energy range. There are an infinite amount of mathematical theories that can explain the physics occuing in a given range of validity.

However, there will always be another range of validity. Hence we will never be actually be "done" with physics, and we will always be scrambing to model it with some fancy "mathematics".

WTF is this nonsense?

What's new in the world of science?

Mine is Albert Einstein, because his great insight changed our view of the world.

ITT: Science jokes. Don't put very specific ones, just those that most people can understand.
Starting with the obvious one:

Einstein, Newtοn and Pascal decide tο play hide and seek. Einstein is it, clοses his eyes, cοunts tο 10 then οpens them.
Pascal is nοwhere tο be seen.
Newton is sitting right in front of Einstein, with a piece of chalk in his hand. He's sitting in a box drawn on the grοund, a meter to a side.
Einstein says "Newtοn, you're terrible, I've found you!"
Newton says "No no, Einy. You've found one Newton per square meter. You've found Pascal!!

Don't they already have a show like that?
I don't watch pop science, but I could swear I heard of some shit like that? no?

Hey guys.

Today I fell in love with mathematics.

You see, up to this day I have never actually noticed
the beauty within it. I'm currently in eleventh grade,
studying in some shitty third-world country school.
I don't really have the opportunity to get any higher
education simply because I've never really bothered
with school.

What really interests me in math is the whole logic
that it presents and how everything comes together.

So my question is this:
Are there any books you guys can recommend me
that I could read independently? Keep in mind that my
level of knowledge is extremely low, so beginners'
books would be most helpful.

Yeah, I know this post is probably too personal or
something, but you have to understand that I have no
place else to turn.

Agreed

Scientists quote time!

nobody cares about your AC currents any more. It's all about E=mc^2

Has anyone taken a legitimate IQ test?

mine is 120

Above average, but nothing to brag about.

Hey guys, I just wanna say that you guys are pretty cool and you don't afraid of anything, but you guys give religion are really hard time. I mean it helps a lot of people and gives us purpose in life. It also brings us closer to spiritual truth. A man named Thomas Aquinas really showed me that belief in no deity is pretty silly.

And look at Einstein he was a believer and he was one of the greatest scientists of the age.

I'm hoping to use like 3 different ones. Preferably darkish
Help a brother out :D

Yes, the "Ashkenazi Jews"

They have the highest IQ of any race
