/sci/ - Science & Math

This seems like as good a place as any to ask; is "physics engineering" a dumb meme degree? I was thinking about going into civil engineering because materials science makes my cock hard, but maybe physics engineering is a bit more broad? I know what you actually got your degree in doesn't really matter that much, but I don't want to gimp myself by going with a narrow degree or a dumb degree that nobody wants.

maths are real in an onthological way (exist even if humans don't exist) or a mind's construction (exist only if humans exist)?

>I also hate it how algebra fags take all the credits because they retrofitted and pigeonholed someone else's discovery into their beloved fields and groups and what not. like cryptography wouldn't be possible if we didn't know about " muh F21" or whatever. weierstrass is rolling in his grave.

What makes the orgasm feel good for a man? I tried googling but all I find are articles about how it affects our brains. I just want to know what physically happens in those moments that make it feel good. What makes those muscles suddenly 'vibrate'

Is there a scientific explanation for why the mentally ill are drawn to anti-semitic conspiracy theories?

It seems like there is significant overlap between people who rant about jews and people who rant about gangstalking.

If tachyons move faster than light, wouldn't they have negative mass?
And if tachyons have negative mass, wouldn't they have a negative push on space-time curvature? Effectively giving them "anti-gravity"

>told my PhD adviser she was wrong this week in a meeting and kept pushing it even after she told me to go read the papers again because I was sure I was right
>she was actually right
Am I fucked

I'm wondering this also. Should I learn rigorous probability with measure theory, or some sort of applied math book on statistics if I want to find work in the private sector?

I'm a math major and what is this?

How do satellites work? I know that if you are using GPS the satellites track your movement, but the thing I don't understand; if there are millions of GPS users and only a couple satellites how do they track every one of us separately?
