How come all of us on Sci cannot solve a large world problem. One would think that with our huge cumulative brain power we could solve anything.

There are three main problems with your idea.

1) Humans actually working together for a greater cause. While this can happen, and isn't uncommon, it usually results in something such as what I'm about to explain.

2) Ego. We all have them. Something is gonna fall apart somewhere because some idiot is gonna say "I think imy name should be put first because I did more of the hard work."

And finally, 3) Murphy's law. Everything that can go wrong, will.

That's the problem with the nerd class. You believe that intelligence is some incredible tool to solve problems.

The reason why you can't solve DICK with your brains is that you're so in love with your own cleverness that you fail to acknowledge that many things are simply BEYOND intelligence to solve. You have almost no socio-economic power, for instance. So regardless of your intellect, the guys with real power will over-rule you, every time.

Until you so-called smart guys learn to see YOUR OWN FUCKING BIASES, you'll really never get anywhere.

Looking forward to your subsequent "DERP DERP DERP". kthxbye

I've worked in some top universities and institutes throughout the world and I'm continually surprised with the simplistic and ill-informed views some `brilliant' people have on day-to-day issues. People do science for a reason :D

It looks like the equation for black-body emission...

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 12 01:31:18 2011 No.3889646 >>3889641 >black body emission >frequency on x axis nope

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 12 01:45:18 2011 No.3889715 >>3889646 ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck's_law That was the equation governing black body emission when I was at school. I didn't know the significance of 160.4 THz though.
