The cure to cancer is being suppressed. Prove me wrong /sci/.
Cancer isnt being surpressed, its multiplying quite rapidly.

Does it really matter if science is funded by industry? It just gives people an excuse to call others corporate shills.
>>7803796
science is about looking for knowledge about how the world works, not looking for immediately applicable knowledge.
The first kind is supposed to contribute to the whole community (by opening the way to the second one further in the future potentially), while the second one contributes to... the first one that finds it.
This is why science is publicly funded, while research and development is funded by the private sector.

>science is about looking for knowledge about how the world works, not looking for immediately applicable knowledge.
its about both but good try.
>>7803807
no it's not about both.
Does /sci/ fully understand theories/formulas? And if so, how do you do it?.
For eg, when learning calculus, we are told to bring the power down and reduce it by one.
Or in RSA Cryptography we understand that plaintext can be encrypted with a key and can be decrypted with another different key.
Do you understand why it is done that way or do you just follow the instructions. Do you understand the principle behind it?. Or is it just me?...
>>7803737
So... never taken a course with proofs? Or just googled the proof of whatever you want to know?
>>7803737
both of those things have a ton of explanation online senpai
>>7803742
I did take discrete math where we did some proving using MI, truth table, contradiction, etc... but when suddenly presented with a topic that you have no knowledge of, how do you understand it? Or rather than, how did the person that came up with the theory?

Stephen D. H. Hsu (born 1966) is an American physicist and university administrator. In July 2012, he was named Michigan State University’s vice president for research and graduate studies.
Sad to see that in the high ups of our society we're still lead by people obsessed with the human illusion.
The obstacle this man faces whenever he begins to question genes and alleles are solved by understanding a human as a chemical reaction with an attached observer. He is looking for "people" who do "things". When will the image be molecules that have attained a human form, and not a human with molecules at his disposal...?
He makes statements like "what is a good rower" and it makes me wonder if he knows "boat"...

I'm sorry I am bad at communicating myself that is not the opinion I tried to portray. There is absolutely free will and being made out of molecules is what gives us the ability to have that.
The "made out of molecules" part is just what it will take to get people over items and career paths as defining objects. You can't make yourself think things like a boat, or a paddle, or yourself, are outside of the "molecules" you use to measure everything else.

you cucks should be able to read those? right?
Damn I want this to be a lain thread, but I just find statistics boring. I just skimmed the first link, but that's all raw/processed data and some unabridged conclusions. I understand both that the full explanation is neccessary to understand the information, and that nobody in his right mind would write a shitty webnews article to summarise it, but I won't waste my time trawling through all those words just to find out a statistical conclusion about memes.

This. It's unbelievable that empty articles like these get churned out by highly respectable institutions.
from the chain rule we have
[math]
h(x) = f(g(x))
h(x)' = f(g(x))'g(x)'
\frac{\partial h(x))}{\partial x}=\frac{\partial f(g(x))}{\partial g(x)}\frac{\partial g(x)}{\partial x}
[/math]
but is the "expanded form" like so, for semantic understanding only of course.
>>7803609
[math]
h(x) = f(g(x))
\newline
h(x)' = f(g(x))'g(x)'
\newline
\frac{\partial h(x))}{\partial x}=\frac{\partial f(g(x))}{\partial g(x)}\frac{\partial g(x)}{\partial x}
[/math]
>>7803609
[math]h(x) = f(g(x)) \newline h(x)' = f(g(x))'g(x)' \newline [/math]
HOLY FUCK
[math]
\frac{\partial h(x))}{\partial x}=\frac{\partial f(g(x))}{\partial g(x)}\frac{\partial g(x)}{\partial x}[/math]

please

Who /career academic/ here?
I think I want to be
Do you like it? Do you enjoy your job?
also what is the difference between an associate and assistant? which one is higher or more senior or whatever
How does one get a paying job to just study math(s)? Just graduated high school in the summer and Math is really the only thing I excelled at. It's just that there are no jobs around here pertaining to math in the slightest. I'd feel I'd be wasting my time at another job and I'm too broke for college/university.

So could one say that existence is composed of indefinite energy but suspends time by such means and as such does the composure of 'uni' simple re-re-deciphers itself into stability or until there is a fracture in the first point that leads to exponentiation?
One could say that, but that does not make it true... or comprehensible.
Let me elaborate...
...in the conviction of indefinite energy in that it is continuation is of an elaborate extension of a baseline proponents of existence and that this is manifest by the cause of what is composed by the deciphering of exponentiation in nothing, as to say the succession of everything (one being total the other being only ever partial) and that the impulse of the conspicuous nature of the fact that when indefinite energy is in play, such as in everything, that the only real conclusion is that when the suspension of time, a 'relative' and related...

I thought about this problem last semester while I was working with a turboencabulator for my research project
Does XKCD guy know what diameter means? If something has a diameter of x meters and is x meters from you, it's not even close to being inside you.
The graph isn't being drawn relative to the surface of the object you fucking dumbass. It's relative to the center of mass.
It's a log scale so dividing by two doesn't really make it any more informative
>>7803163
Exactly. 10m from me to center of an object means the diameter has to be 20m, not 10m, because it's the radius that matters if we're talking center-to-center.
How do you know that you are gonna ace an exam in science? Are you never nervous or some kind of afraid that the professor is gonna try to get you out? Concepts are all okay but as soon exam time is coming up, it's really hard to stay confident in your own abilities.
>How do you study for STEM related exams that you WON'T fuck up and stay confident in your abilities?
Check if your uni has a test bank or anything similar. Looking at older tests helps you know what to expect.
>>7803068
Do past exams in conditions as close as possible to the real thing as possible. When you do the exam it will feel like a drill.
Know the material. You can do this by
studying
doing problems
going to office hours
using any of the thousands of resources available to you
That's what I've been doing for years, and I'm the student everyone else comes to when they're having trouble.

Dolphins don't have flanges and live in a perfect environment free of struggle and hardship. They don't need to control or develop technology.
Only humans, termites, beavers and those fuckin faggot sparrows in my garage have such a toxic psychological urge to modify the enviroment. Dolphins are truly earth's most evolved sentient beings.
