You're just giving them another reason not to spend any more on NASA.

guys... come on....

>Why would death inconvenience me?

are there any real college students / graduates / professianal workers / actual science-related mature people here?????

Lately everything I read is about highschool homeworks and really silly troll-bait threads.

Studying maths at uni.
Person: So, what do you study?
Me: Maths.
Person: Omg you must be really really smart, what's 58 * 19?
Me: ..........

9/10 times this happens when I tell someone what I'm studying.
Is it just people in the UK who are like this?

What gives people the idea that mathematicians sit doing sums all day?
Also why do they automatically assume intelligence? It's as if they think that because I'm studying maths that my brain operates on a whole other level to theirs, it's really annoying when they assume I must be some sort of human encyclopaedia/calculator and start asking arbitrary questions that I don't have a clue about.

Okay, I'm taking my clap back. You don't know what the hell you're talking about and when people gave you the benefit of the doubt and even tried clearing some misconceptions up you go ahead and call them conformists? Did you just try to discredit all current scientific knowledge on physics? What the fuck is the matter with you?
