>but they are. in the context of an electron, size would be 2.82 x 10-15 m. It's more useful to refer to them as waves, but they have an actual size.

It's already science.

The Guardian is retarded.

There is a anti-intellectual culture growing in the west at the moment but global warming is a really bad example. The majority of scientists in the field still agree global warming is possible but allot of the original studies have been pretty heavily discreditted.

With the poor standard of reporting its bound to end up much more disputed it was previously

now that I think about it. . .

This picture expresses every single emotion that has passed through 99.999% of /sci/'s as they have read this.

Do yourself a favor. Instead of battery powerplants, you can make one of your own. Get a jar, to pieces of wire, and a motor.

Put one wire in a coil on the bottom, and one at the top, connect those wires to your motor. Next add in common household ammonia and mix with bleach, the reaction from these two chemicals create a somewhat strong magnetic field and when they hit the wires, they'll convert that to electricity to run the motor. Tada! Cheap and efficient mini-powerplant.

Makes a great room deodorizer too.

You don't read many pop science articles do you?

I can't facepalm hard enough.

so, i'm im my mid 20's. i just went back to a CC after half a decade of working.

WTF

is it like this at other peoples schools?

And you are missing the fact that his so called "proofs" are taken out of context and therefore inherently invalid.

>live in holland, born here, my parents are immigrants
>at 18, go to uni
>govnt offers everyone that goes to higher ed a base loan + additional based on parents income/if youre living at home or not + free public transport over the entire country
>if you complete your study (bachelors) within 10 years, the govt pays your loan back for you (it becomes a grant). masters is completely self-funded if you want to do it
>the newly elected govt decides to have massive cutbacks on EVERYTHING, including education. If you "waste a year" (you change your mind on what study you wanna do after feb, or just plain fail), the second time it happens and all after that you get a 3000 euro fine ($4285.5).
>I decide to apply for dual nationality (get the dutch one) earlier this year. Ive been studying before that already.
>due to the cutbacks the people at administration for this student funding loan thing have been scrutinizing files, they find my file and decide I didnt deserve the loan before getting my dutch nationality. They send me a letter they want all of it back (2500 euro/$3571.25).
>mfw they accepted my request for this loan earlier, as they should. my other nationality is a european one, so either way they cant deny me the loan. The only reason it got returned is because they ASSUME all non-dutch have a residence permit, which I dont need because I have a special citizenship given to us by the ministry of foreign affairs.

Hey, /sci/. I want to know what you think of when you see someone start solving a problem by writing down an equation and then plugging in the numbers before solving for the unknown variable.

For myself, sometimes I'm fine with plugging numbers in right away (like plugging in 0's), but most of the time, I wish they solved the equation first. What about you?
