The science of studying.
Why do some people require hours and hours of relentless studying? When I was in school, I knew people who would study a single topic, weeks on end, only to still get bad grades.
I don't want to seem too full of myself here, but I'm not going to lie, I was capable of obtaining top A+ marks by simply reading the book the night before the exam. I guess I was relatively lucky in school, but it made the whole concept seem a little wasted when I realised I could get top marks with *minimal* effort.
So back to what I was saying....

General intelligence. I don't think there's another way to put it. You get things fast, you remember them and you know what the teacher wants.
It works in a similar way at college, but there you need a bit more effort. You have to pay attention at what the lecturer says and study what he tells you to study.

>It's just boring.
Halmos - Measure Theory. What I mean is that details in theorems are easy to fill out and you need a lot of stamina and motivation to go through hours of tedious work.
How do mathematicians do this? I thought It would be more fun. If things get difficult you need to work on whatever your mind comes out with and it's still boring.
Why is it that in Japan disorders like autism, ADHD, depression, and etc aren't as prominent?
Are they just not as common?
Is it the culture streamlining a similar thought process to those as being normal in society? For example, more western frames of thought and the spectrum of them could be seen as "disorders" too there.
any data? according to wikipedia Japan it's at top 20 in suicide rates. But some things like ADHD may be overdiagnosed (I live in Europe and no one really cares about ADHD in adults)
>>8143855
because ADHD is not a disorder, it's normal.

this. coz they just suicide than taking xanax
MED thread first try to diagnose and then we talk about treatments
Yes shitty image, deal with it faggot
Pneumonia
Before someone says its TB, the bacteria usually occurs in the apex of the lungs due to the higher v/q ratio of oxygen.
>>8127660
OP here
Good try but no, look carefully at the image
BTW, in pneumonia the parts of the lungs close to the diafragma are blurred and there isn't a clear line that divides the lungs from the diafragma (costodiafragmatic and costomediastinic regions)
Sory for vocabulary regarding med, Spanish is my first language

What does /sci/ think of economics in general and this guy in particular?
Economics is a philosophy, not a science. Everything is an untested hypothetical with no predictive power.

I know this is an autistic rant but the fucking implication. That I'd be so stupid as to go 4 years to university for preparation for another 4 years of university.

Basically i am currently doing my Abitur(highest school degree in germany) and want to go study something good. I am and was always interested in Physics, so i consider doing it. Well if you look at the equations it looks hard but beginner algebra looked also really hard when you where in primary school, but is actually not really that difficult how you imagined it to be. Anyways i consider studying it outside of Germany i suppose, either an english or german speaking country. Well i also consider biology or chemistry etc.
Oh and also sorry if this doesnt belong here.
If you want to do any subject to a high standard, it will be hard. If you enjoy physics, enough to want to learn it in your own time, then it seems like a safe choice to study physics.
Studier was du willst. Aber halt die Ohren steiff. Es ist nicht genug ein Genie zu sein, junger Mann... du musst hart arbeiten.
>>8139960
any fool can solve equations, just look at all the mathfags here
physics just takes a bit of imagination
in the end this is all just blabla, do what you love or what you think you love

How accurate is this list for the smartest people in the world?
It looks like they go by both IQ and accomplishments.
Some notable names:
29. Chris Langan
25. Neil deGrasse Tyson
24. Kim Ung-Yong
17. Garry Kasparov
16. Terrence Tao
9. Magnus Carlsen
4. Grigori Perelman
3. Andrew Wiles
1. Stephen Hawking

im only 20 iq pts behind a man (einstein) who debunked the majority of physics by thinking about trains. And seeing as physics deals with true complexity and other science do not, its even more reasonable for a 140 to be able to trash your kind than it was for a 160 to trash physics ;)
if ur iq was above 140 u wouldnt be as butthurt about the concept of a 140 hyp grad lurking this beta barn..
so the logical conclusion is that ur iq is lower than 140 (possibly much lower)

This pasta could be hugely improved by adding something about closing the 20 point gap through brain training exercises and practicing mental arithmetic.

Hey /sci/
My bird sized brain cant wrap around the creation of the universe. As far as I understand the prominent theory would be string theory, and a collision of strings generated the big bang. Fine, but where did the strings come from?
Heisenbergs uncertainty principle states that systems can be created out of nothing by spontaniously forming pairs of particle . The closer the sum of energy of these particles, the longer the system can survive. But how would this with the big bang? Also, in what dimension would that have happened?
Please help
>>8138130
Time didn't exist before the big bang so asking what was before it is meaningless. Someone asked the same question years ago in our optics/relativity course at college. All 200 students and the professor laughed at him.
Don't be that guy.
>>8138158
That still doesnt answer the question of how it got there :/
>>8138130
>creation of the universe
>As far as I understand the prominent theory would be string theory
No, the big bang is. There are attempts to shoehorn string theory into cosmology but that's still very early in development.
>Heisenbergs uncertainty principle states that systems can be created out of nothing by spontaniously
No.

what is the science behind brushing your teeth?
are there actual studies in support of the claim that a regular brushing regime reduces risk of developing cavities/bad teeth/etc ?
I never brush my teeth and haven't had any cavities and teeth are shiny white. Brushing is a meme invented by the global dentist society to make you by useless shit like toothpaste. Fuck the jews
>>8131716
This. Do you think people in Israel ever brush their teeth?
Creating human-level AGI or functional human brain emulations should be considered as an act of war against all other nations.
>>8140325
Nuclear retaliation by all (other) nuclear powers should be ensured as the automatic result, to deter such an act of war.
>>8140326
This is the only way to prevent the AI apocalypse or a malthusian emulation scenario, and therefore to preserve humanity.
