How do we stop the memeification of science?
>>8102578
You don't. The meme lords will get bored and move on to another topic someday.

Thanks OP, THANKS for this thread, i can't even answer your question, but i was wondering if someone around here actually gets what science is about.
>>8102578
I'll try to answer tho...
If you read carefully both examples in your pic, you realize the left guy is talking about science and referring it, but the right guy isn't actually talking about science itself, he's actually referring to "scientific knowledge"? maybe? i don't know how to call it but, you can tell that the dude on the right isn't actually referring to any scientific principal or idea, only vague pop science stuff and knowledge... so logically, there isn't any real...

What race/empire/country/civilization has been the one that produces the best math in history and apported the most to mankind?
I would say greeks or indians.
Japanese thanks to this guy

France.
When it comes to pure math, france/Germany toss up (ancient Greeks if you want to judge it a certain way). Including applied math, physics, and other similar contributions to civilisation, probably England and Germany. In the 20th century russia and the USA get on Frances level, and Germany falls a bit, due to the wars + tons of scientific funding for user and USA during the cold war.
Is it too late to start being interested in physics and aim to be a physicist if my undergrad degree isn't related to it?
I'm not sure how interested I actually am and chances are I'll probably give up after plowing through a basic textbook or two, but there's no harm in wasting some time trying something new.
kill self
If you have done any math or science getting into physics is easy, otherwise just fuck off and go to /wsr/

So do neuroscience majors get any jobs after college if they don't go pre-med? Do they just rot in a corner along with the pure math and theoretical physics students?
They're slightly worse actually, because they can't even go into finance.
>>8102427
You got it man. Everyone who goes to college becomes an unemployed loser.

Its like ugly girls complaining that make up doesnt work for them. huh
Just heard of this today, let's see what /sci/ thinks:
If you choose an answer to this question at random, what is the chance you will be correct?
A) 25%
B) 50%
C) 60%
D) 25%
0%, but it isn't listed.
Think outside the answer box, fuckhead.
>>8102320
random? isn't it 25%?
>>8102320
It's 50%. Either you are correct or you aren't.
What would be some modern theoretical applications of a gravitational canceler, being reproduced like Ed Leedskalnin created? He used it to move giant stones and balance them on their center of gravity, such as a four-ton door that was destroyed in the 80's when scientists tried to study it.
In one of his Readings, Edgar Cayce, when asked how the broken axehead floated in the story of Elijah, said that the building blocks for the Pyramid of Giza, were lifted up by the same power. He said that we would discover the secret in the year '68, but since Leedskalnin...

That seems like the most astonishingly pointless way to use such a device conceivable. I conclude that he must be a fraud on the basis of that alone, because nobody so spectacularly unimaginative could possibly have invented such a device.
Possible uses for canceling gravity include fundamentally revolutionizing...

Seriously, it's on the level of "advanced aliens traveling hundreds of light-years to make weird patterns in cornfields" or "man-sized quantum tunnel through physical space, with possible application as a shower curtain."
>>8102142
he never said anything about antigravity he just said he copied the egyptian levers and ramps. his electromagnetic ramblings were completely unrelated
Why is the answer 720?
>2 people per rotation
>8 per 4 rotations
>4 rotations in 1 minute so 120 rotations in 30 min.
>30 x 8 = 240
>>8102123
2 people per rotation per SECTOR
>>8102148
That still doesn't add up to 720.
>>8102167
what is 3*240
What would happen if someone had a triple helix DNA?
They would be able to exist in fluidic space, communicate telepathically, and if they scratched you their cells left in the wound would consume your body.
theyd be pure conciousness

>before speak please forgive I am Italy and no very much go /sci/
thinks is very happen would have genetically modification on big problem because have imperfection body is very danger and human is body not make for evolve monkey to this
alright /sci/ what do you guys think the hardest field of science is?
ontology
Even though no one on 4chan will believe me, I'd say likely astrophysics or some similar theoretical-driven field. Obtaining my doctorates was so satisfying, but god did I feel stressed. In my class, I saw people that were so smart that I couldn't believe it.
Maybe even neuroscience?
Engineering
Say Im approaching a radio station with my car at near lightspeed whilst listening to some AM broadcast, say Miley Cirus' party in the usa
What will I hear? will the song be faster? will the pitch go up as I go faster?
you'll hear nothing, the radiation will be so blueshifted or redshifted that you won't recieve anything because your radio won't be able to lock on anything meaningful.
>>8101743
okay. Say Im standing still and listening to some AM signal of hannah montana's hoedown throwdown (broadcasted from some fixed radio station at infinity) and during the first refrain start to accelerate such that by the third refrain I am close to lightspeed.
really? doppler shift is too hard for /sci/?
I think I will soon lose all of the webbing of my tongue's frenulum.
Am I gonna be okay?

I used an American mouthwash around month ago and it partially melted it.
Two weeks ago, I ripped it and while it no longer hurts, it feels like it will rip again if I attempt to speak.
Medical Question
If someone ripped your testicles off with their bare hands, would you bleed to death?
>>8101590
an artery runs through there. you would die
yes.
ITT: fields or subjects that interest you, but every time you attempt to study it you remember how boring it is, or are reminded why you didn't go into that field.
For me it's physics.
I Used to be a Physics major. I'm a math major now, but I still have interest in GR. I got through Differential Geometry, but every time I try to study even the most basic GR, I get so bored and I am reminded how uninteresting Physics is to me. Same with QT/QM.
>>8101488
>still have interest in GR
>I am reminded how uninteresting Physics is to me
Then what is peaking your interest in GR if you don't care about how the world works?
>>8101507
Pique, not peak.

Is some adaptive form of autism going to be the next phase of human evolution?
Artists don't reproduce. Only Chad and Tyrone do. Welcome to dysgenics. If von Neumann was born in China today he would have been cloned many times over. But the west believes in cucked equality so our civilization will basically become Brazil.
I've wondered about if you took people with Down Syndrome and kept having them reproduce with one another, if it would eventually come to a stable and relatively healthy population. What sort of time scale and probabilities would be involved for a reasonable outcome, or do the means exist at all.
>>8101399
That's also my assessment, right down to the Brazil comparison.
But do autists really believe in anything outside their personal space? Communal living is complete hell for them. They tend to agree with leftism because they know it hurts Chad, but in practice they are aloof. Aloofness plus money equals Brazilian style elitism, even if the autists aren''t snotty about it.
