/sci/ - Science & Math

All of these facts mean nothing in the face of the most compelling evidence of them all.

Fast forward to modern day. Central and South American peoples show unprecedented migratory patterns towards the north. It is projected that by 2045, the United States of America will be Caucasian minority.

Could these modern aliens share their ancient off-world god's desire to go to great lengths to intrude on foreign societies? Is there something hidden in their DNA propelling them to some unknown destiny, in the year 2012?

People would learn science and math better if teachers were educated, thoughtful people who presented the material in meaningful and exciting ways.

Instead they are the C and D grade students who don't know what they want to do with their life and just spend all day reciting definitions and questions from a book to match a curriculum that greatly underestimates the potential of the average person in a society that stigmatises intelligence at an early age.

How does the human body generate heat?

Hey guys.

I am looking into getting My System and Jeremy Silman's Complete Endgame course.

My intent is to read My System followed by Silman's and start solving daily chess problems and analysing online games. Is this a good approach, or am I taking too much on at once?

I'll probably just play for a few weeks before I actually touch the textbooks (I've always played on and off at work/during assignment breaks, but never seriously, so I want to get 'into' it a bit more before I start reading text books), so I'm not planning to dive headfirst into it.

Also, I know I'm supposed to avoid dedicating any real time to openings, but is that to say I shouldn't learn them at all, or just learn the reasoning behind the most common openings and move on?

>I don't intend to become a tourneyfag, but I love playing and would actually like to progress skillwise just for the sake of it. No real goals beyond generally improving my game.

My physics classes people with similar senses of humor. My I wouldn't be surprised if one of my professors dropped such a joke in class.

Either you know the student in question isn't capable of the major for some other reason or you don't know the student and you need to lighten up.

Then again, it depends on how the student thought the professor and class would respond. If the student cracked the joke without giving proper thought to how it may affect the progression of the lesson then I'd agree with you. If the professor took it in stride and moved on without delay then, as I said, you should probably lighten up.
