Is Geometry the most underrated STEM field?
It is truly marvelous how it exists, how shapes all seem to fit in a grand puzzle that is known as Geometry.
shut the fuck up please
>>8105102
Geometry is literally everywhere. Especially in physics. Everything from euclidean geometry and trigonometry to do simple mechanics problems, to hyperbolic geometry in SR, differential geometry in GR & gauge theory, algebraic geometry in string theory, etc.
Should be
Phi^2 + 2phi + 1
Can we get a /sci/ humor thread going again?

Are there any /sci/ approved video games? Do video games that use or teach physics, chemistry, math, and engineering even exist?

Zelda
Mario Galaxy

Portal 1 & 2 are pretty good
Any flavor of classic-tetris deserves a spot.

baby-tier puzzles, magical fairy-boy adventure?
It's good alright but not in respect towards /sci/-approval I feel.
Post best introductory book in your field of expertise.

How much category theory do you use and how much of it do you know?

So how exactly are we going to manage without antibiotics?
Nanoterminators
>>8117920
we won't.
at some point in the future so many people will be dying from infections that "the free market will """fix it""".
>>8117920
What's crazy is we could come up with new ones but companies won't do it because they're too expensive and are worthless within like a year. Still though, I bet a government out there is sitting on an unused one for the "important people" to use if shit goes down.

I'm not even denying manmade climate change, but you're arguing against a strawman.
Global warming is something that can be observed. Human involvement in it is the thing that people are sceptic of.
>>8117253
You are changing the subject. There have clearly been claims that global warming itself is not happening, and that this is just the natural wavering of temperature over centuries.
I love how the most vocal fuckers are constantly conflating different subjects. It's just like anti-evolution switching subject to abiogenesis. I don't care what you believe and am open to discussion, but please keep your topics straight.
>>8117253
No we deny temperature rising too, tons of corruption and modified data has been proved, while the only "real" data we have, satellite data show no rise in temperature in the last 18 years.
I myself do not believe in the idea of being transgender, but I do see how one can believe in the idea. I would like to hear you guys' explanations on your belief on the topic.

Gender dysphoria is definitely a thing. You can take that however you want.
It's a mental disorder like Schizophrenia, but for some reason it's considered unacceptable to suggest treatment or counseling.

when moon is attracted by earth (and reverse) why it is not colliding?

I would just google it. Surely someone must have asked this before and got a helpful answer.

To avoid excessive proximity to other electrons.
Please, /sci/. Help me understand the meme.
Is this statement true? Is the sum of all whole numbers really equal to -1/12? Is the equation in the picture even equal to the sum of all whole numbers? What am I missing? The meme has been coated with so many layers of irony that I don't know where it ends.

You don't have to accept that. It's the Cesaro sum.
Hello people.
I'm a biologist and I think that Astronomy and physics takes just too much space in the pop culture.
Space travels and black holes are fascinating without doubts.
However biology has also his wonders to share.
I want to become famous as a biology popularizer.
Since I love 4chan and I started using it in the year anno domini of the Lord 2007-2008 I want to spread my word also here.
I have a telegram channel

The process of mitosis. The fundamental process of asexual reproduction. The scope of mitosis is to segregate the genomic information in two cells. Here we see the chromosomes in red and the microtubules in green. After the chromosome condensation the microtubules organize in a spider like structure. They are ready to pull the DNA at the opposite poles of the cell. Once the chromosomes are separated the cell goes into anaphase then telophase and divides.

Biology meme? how can I be so outdated I know nothing about it?
Bio pops up a shit ton in pop culture what are you talking about
Chemistry is the one that gets the boot
>Sarkar had accused the victim of stealing his computer code and giving it to someone else, according to police.
Would you kill your professor took the source code from your PhD project and gave it to another student?

the number of times I have seen someone on this board claim others are paranoid because they want to protect themselves from theft is staggering.
And yet...
Should have used GPLv3
Apparently the pooinloo was really shit and the professor guided him after hours to just make him pass courses.
I've met people like this at uni and they just never fucking learn.
Common Core Hate Thread (I have a Algebra II Test coming up this week)

Common core exists to diminish the divide between whites/asians and blacks/hispanics.
Prove me wrong.

"Spooky action at a distance".
2 particles are involved in quantum entanglement and when one is measured the state of the other particle is instantly known, sure. But I really don't understand why this is considered spooky or strange. Why can't these particles ALWAYS be opposites, regardless of anything? Is it so weird to be able to see what side of the coin is facing the floor when you toss it?
For starters, action at a distance was resolved a long time ago, with the introduction of the force field to physics.
Entanglement is peculiar because the moment the state of one particle is determined, the probabilistic nature of the other is "collapsed" and it's state is known as well. The surprising part is that if the particles are physically separated, it doesn't seem as if there is any time delay between the two measurements. In other words, they happen instantaneously. That really just means that no signal or wave or whatever is being sent from...

If you have a signal apparently travelling faster than light its pretty startling
>>8112098
I just said there was no signal.
