I'm interested in discovering a cure for cancer as well as other related things within the realm of biochemistry/synthetic biology.
I'd like to build my own lab.
Following this post will be a screenshot of my bank account. I am a millionaire in NZD (the house that I live in is worth about $100,000 NZD) but am worth about $650,000 in USD.
I will be graduating this year with a degree in Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry with a minor in Computer Science.
I have heard that it is very difficult for BSc grads to get their own lab (and that they...

tfw this guy is serious
tfw I need €60,000 for a 6 year M.D. degree
good luck, although I don't think you can buy any cutting-edge equipment with that kind of money and you will have to rely on your talent and personal drive to do this. Making your dreams come true must be awesome.
Do mathematicians really work 12 hours a day?
Anyone can work 12 hours a day at anything. Stop asking stupid questions.

Let me tell you a secret about academia.
No one knows what we do.
No one.
Not even our closest colleagues know how much progress we should be making all the time.
Hell we don't even know ourselves.
Most external funding and grants we get are for research that can be completed in a few days, but the grant is for years so why hurry?
The result of all this is that we pretend to work more often than not. Spending that time studying instead or in worse cases wasting it browsing...

If I used stealth paint on my car, would cops be able to use radar guns to determine my speed?
Stealth aircraft are not invisible to radar, just dark. And most of this effect comes from their shape, not their surface coating.

damn
Thanks for clarifying instead of just calling me a faggot though.

Your face when you realise that you're masturbating with a 4x3 matrix.
I wonder if this is where the base 12 system came from.

it was where the base 12 system came from u retard nice thread u could have just used google

Explain Linear Algebra to someone who has never taken it before
Linear algebra is the branch of mathematics concerning vector spaces and linear mappings between such spaces. It includes the study of lines, planes, and subspaces, but is also concerned with properties common to all vector spaces.
>>7667204
It's also solutions to systems of equations.
>>7667200
So in regular high school algebra you manipulate one equation at a time. In matrix algebra you manipulate lots of equations all at once. Then there's some theory tacked onto it about applications of these matrix functions to different mathematical concepts like coordinate systems and vectors that it turns out are all actually inter-related, and all governed by applying lots of regular algebra equations all at once.
Are we getting tired of Earth?
We are searching other planets because we want to get the hell outta here?
Getting tired of shit threads more like it.
yeah, we're looking for another rare habitable exoplanet which is a thousand light years away which takes millions of years to travel and cost astronomic numbers in the process because we're tired of earth.
You stupid little cum
I want to leave earth to be as far away from you as possible OP
what is it like to know the algebraic geometry?
It's better than sex.
Unemployment.
Is algebraic geometry really that cool? I once talked with this one guy saying he hates algebra per se, but studied it to understand algebraic geometry. It's fucking sexy, if I remember his phrasing correctly. I've watched some videos from Harpreet Bedi on the subject, seems nice.
Why haven't they made synthetic blood yet?

Recently I've been watching various math videos and lectures on the web.
It seems as though really large numbers start having some weird and unique properties, why is that?
What makes large numbers different than small numbers?
Are there emergent properties in large numbers that could possibly explain why physics breaks down at really large scales?
Am I wrong?
>>7666843
>It seems as though really large numbers start having some weird and unique properties
care to give an example or link to the video?
>>7666843
>What makes large numbers different than small numbers?
Nothing really. Any "large number" can be expressed as a smaller number using notation.

Skewes number for example:

Also Grahams number:

It's not the numbers themselves, but they seem to be solutions to problems relating to dimensionality and prime numbers. I know these are all numberphile videos. There are other sources but I can't be arsed to find more atm.
What if mankind will never discover the secret of the universe's creation because it is just so abstract and complicated that even trying to think about it exceeds the human brain's hard limits, like a dog trying to think of why the sun rises in the east?
>implying you know why the sun rises in the east
it wasn't created. it was always there.
now go back to bed

dogs can't write books. people can.
question for mathfags , how many legal game positions can exist on a chess board?

That's a question for your lawyer.

Yeah, I know it's caused by radiation, but WHY does that happen?
>>7666672
It's radioactive
Is psychiatry a pseudoscience?
Psychiatry is a medical practice based upon the science of psychology, but is not itself a science (nor pseudoscience).

Is your mom's pussy wet?
The answer's I don't know; but with further investigation. and the right neurons firing, it can be.
>>7666604
Is this supposed to be mocking animal psychiatry?
Why is it, that when I am aware of my breath, I progressively breathe slower and slower(even up to twice a minute) the longer I am aware of it?
