/sci/ - Science & Math

Because I don't do it for e-peen, i'm genuinely interested in the universe.

Also Adderall

Also not science

HOW THE FUCK IS THIS NOT MATH AND SCIENCE?

I'M MAD

>>2813003
The question you posed is 'Dis guy smarter than you a lot why even try?'

And that, is why it is not science.

Human evolution at work.

Selection pressure is no longer physical fitness. It's intellectual fitness and sexual fitness.

Good looks and intelligence. Humanity a thousand years from now will not only be fantastically more intelligent than we are now, they'll also be more physically attractive.

>mfw even if I live that long I'll be an out-of-date biological has-been, unable to compete with toddlers.

HOW IS THAT NOT MATH AND SCIENCE?

>Thinking vanilla humans

Halfway through that time lapse it'll be all about modifications. And you'll have had a lot more time to get some.

>>2813010

> they'll also be more physically attractive.

You keep forgetting that British chavs get children all the time, if that is any indication people will only get dumber and more ugly.

>>2813044
this.

>>2813010
please kill yourself, you retarded shit.

That's NOT how evolution works.

>>2813225

As an aside... has human evolution stopped as I recall that creatures used to need to be geographically isolated to be able to evolve into a new species?

>>2813305
A species can evolve without speciation. You are right that speciation generally does not happen without geographic isolation, but the species still changes over time to adapt to its conditions.

>Back in Korea, he decided to switch from physics to civil engineering and eventually received a doctorate in that field. He eventually published about 90 papers on hydraulics in scientific journals.[3] As of 2007 he was designing mechanized armored battle suits for the Micronesian government..

What

>>2813305

>mfw this idiot thinks evolution stops.

Also, ~brofist~
I think I'm off to bed shortly.

Also, man did Krauss suck in that debate. Craig sucked way more, but damn, that was quite below my expectations of an interesting debate.

>>2813345

Why?? I just got here =x LOL

>>2813360
Dude. I should have been in bed hours ago. I have work in the morning. The hell do you live? CA here.

>>2813345

I think Krauss did ok for what he set out to do. His points were wobbly at first, but as he progressed I think he got traction and made his contention pretty clear. Craig however just said the same shit over and over again

>taxicab
>jesus
>therefore 2+2=5
>lets rape babies

:P trololol

>>2813366

Massachusetts =x LOL

>amazing painter

yeah right, nigger.

i bet it was ugly post modern shit as well

>>2813366

No biggie dude - gnite and cya later.

*brofist*

>>2812995
>Implying I wont
Its about how far you go, not how fast.

>You'll never be this smart /sci/ why even try?
Because he can't study everything and if everyone less intelligent than him stopped trying civilization woudl collapse

>Kim was a guest student of physics at Hanyang University auditing courses from the age of 4 until he was 7. In 1970, at the age of 8, he was invited to the United States by NASA. He finished his university studies, eventually getting a Ph.D. in physics at Colorado State University. In 1974, during his university studies, he began his research work at NASA and continued this work until his return to Korea in 1978.[3]

>Back in Korea, he decided to switch from physics to civil engineering and eventually received a doctorate in that field. He eventually published about 90 papers on hydraulics in scientific journals.[3] As of 2007[update] he also serves as adjunct faculty at Chungbuk National University.

>be a super smart genius
>decide to become civil engineer

I don't even have a face for this. He's a fucking idiot.

>smartest person on Earth
>decides to go to grad school at Colorado State
>mfw

Ability to learn != smart

If his learning capacity as a child scaled up to intelligence as an adult, he'd be several magnitudes smarter than anyone. However, this clearly didn't happen.

>he decided to switch from physics to civil engineering
>switch from physics to civil engineering
>physics to engineering

well that settles that debate

engineering = applied physics

Guess he wanted to actually do something productive in the real world instead of masturbate over theoretical dark numbers.

>>2813474
It's like if Newton or Einstein or Gauss deciding to build bridges instead of pounding over numbers.

How many famous historical engineers can you name?
This korean had the chance to be in the history books, and he threw it for a decent pay.

>How many famous historical engineers can you name?
Isembard Kingdom Brunel
Wernher von Braun
Barnes Wallis
Neville Shute
Tesla (Was an electrical engineer)
Charles Babbage
James Watt
Stevenson
Bill Nye (mechanical engineer)
Frank Whittle
Stanley Hooker
George Westinghouse
Eiffel
Charles Parsons
Faraday

Engineers are nothing less than applied scientists. I find it a continuing bafflement how much pointless hate they get from high school kids and undergrads on here

>>2813488
You fucking imbecile

A huge chunk of France's elite comes from engineering schools. That includes shit tons of Nobels etc.

>"Engineering is quite different from science. Scientists try to understand nature. Engineers try to make things that do not exist in nature. Engineers stress invention. To embody an invention the engineer must put his idea in concrete terms, and design something that people can use. That something can be a device, a gadget, a material, a method, a computing program, an innovative experiment, a new solution to a problem, or an improvement on what is existing. Since a design has to be concrete, it must have its geometry, dimensions, and characteristic numbers. Almost all engineers working on new designs find that they do not have all the needed information. Most often, they are limited by insufficient scientific knowledge. Thus they study mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and mechanics. Often they have to add to the sciences relevant to their profession. Thus engineering sciences are born." - Foundations of Solid Mechanics

Engineers confirmed for master race

Wow, that sounds really smart. Didn't seem like he's contributed much to science though, this is actually the first time I've heard of him.

can someone link me to krauss' debate?

>>2813572
Do you really have an hour to lose listening to a atheism vs. monotheism debate ?

>>2812995
>>You'll never be this smart

Oh, but I will.

It all comes down to time and effort. This guy's lucky because the "time" part of it is almost non-existent to him. I'm not going to just give up because I was dealt a shittier hand than someone else. You play the cards you have to the best of your abilities.
