But he thought about the entire context of the problem as well as the implications of the discovery rationally. A small, safe, synaptic jump is all you need.

Except he didn't. He made his discoveries by intuition and he was too mathematically impaired to write down his theory without the help of mathematicians.

>>5910951
Except he did. His intuition was rational and developed based on rational observation, thought process, and reasoning.

>>5910960
>His intuition was rational

Intuition is the opposite of rationality.

this quote probably saved my life

>>5911979
Not always, You can make very rational decisions based on intuition, but you might not know why you made them.

You can also make terrible decisions based on intuition. It depends if the situation calls on it.

>>5911979
Don't be stupid. An intuition can be rational or irrational, it just depends whether there is concious reasoning.

like, you know, proofs are originally nothing more than thought experiments?

and any, even highly formal thought, is just a realization of a pre-conscious (hence irrational) thinking?

>>5910736
Yeah, he made them by plagiarizing

Once Jacob Barnett's theories are fully realized, it will prove Einstein to be the hack he truly was.

Einstein quotes aren't that great, IMHO.

the bumpspammer always comes every day at around 5:30-6:30 CST. and always says 'she' when referring to fellow anons

>>5914279

that's a meme

"Science is a girl thing"

There is no bumpspammer.

>>5914285
that person clearly did it by posting uselessly with a 16 hour bump

if science is such a girl thing why are there so many prominent male scientists?

There were two girls who won a google science award posted on here. Plus nearly 50% of science competition winners are girls so really theyre not too bad. We just need to get more girls interested at a young age.Plus you are missing the point of the entire meme...

>>5916160
Philosophy is a science.

>>5919135
No, it does not use the scientific method.

>>5920549
Define scientific method.

>>5919135
no but science is a philosophy

>>5920549
It does. Read through each step and you will see that philosophy conforms to all of them.

>>5921229
No it only does two steps and it does them out of order, first it creates a hypothesis, then it selects some real world observations that support that hypothesis, but there is no further objective analytical peer review because there are no falsifiable real world philosophy experiments that can be repeated and adjusted using objective standardized physical phenomena.

>>5920583
Science is the opposite of philosophy.

>>5920553
>Define scientific method.
A method of describing reality exclusively using empirical observation.

>>5919135
>Philosophy is a science.
No, the scientific method is a branch of philosophy.

>>5921229
>It does. Read through each step and you will see that philosophy conforms to all of them.
Which area of philosophy? Ontology? epistemology? metaphysics? Philosophy describes what science doesn't or can't, and it discusses second level linguistics above the empirical events that science describes.

Take a philosophical field like Ethics. Science can describe an event. It can say a titanium blade seems to have punctured the left lung – it can discuss the material event and scrutinise every physical detail. Philosophy is looking at the event and asking "Is that act something we should tolerate as a social ideal?" "Is the inter-subjective moral view towards the act more right than the individual?" "Is ending a life noble it it benefits a great many people?"

Science just describes the material; philosophy treats those descriptions as 'abstractions' and discusses the abstractions instead.

Right now.
That's Einstien gurl!

and not pure math or science books.

>>5910736
lol
oh god I hope nobody posts that pic on facebook

This thread gave me cancer.

Nobody ever did. Every rational decision we make has some underlying emotion and instinct behind it

Prediction the procession of the perihelion of Mercury was nothing but a case of linearalising GR (weak field approximation), plugging in some numbers and solving some diffy qs!
That's almost mechanical - totally rational. Of course first deriving GR was much more of a leap.

You're a fucking idiot.

>>5924418
1. Observe some aspect of the universe.
2. Invent a tentative description, called a hypothesis, that is consistent with what you have observed.
3. Use the hypothesis to make predictions.
4. Test those predictions by experiments or further observations and modify the hypothesis in the light of your results.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until there are no discrepancies between theory and experiment and/or observation.

Wow, some posters did take the image seriously.
I guess there are autists in /sci/ after all.

Thank you. I didn't know this.

Yes, you are.

>implying Einstein made any discoveries

He only summarized the thoughts of other people. The principles of relativity were known earlier. Einstein only gave a name to them.

>>5950959
This.

Einstein is too overrated.

No, it's an admission that Relativity is not Rational.

Obviously true, OP. Einstein had to rely on intuition becauce he sucked at math.
