If life developed on Europa, what do you suppose it would look like?
*in
>>8084699
Sorry, my mistake.
>>8084645
Probably similar to the stuff we find around underwater volcanic vents, but with small differences in the DNA/RNA/TNA(?) structure and what not.
I don't think chemistry allows for weird stuff like Silicon-based lifeforms very readily, even if they are cool.

ITT good science books
>>8088423
Not a science book, but fun (and actually not meme-tier)
>>8088461
Go fuck yourself faggot, people don't get interested in science by being an autist like you and straight-up reading Real Analysis textbooks, they read "xd singularity lol" and that gets them into science and math
hey /sci/ lets talk about math jobs for those of us who have tread down the applied math path.
we'll take economics, statistics, physics, and comp sci in our conversation too.
what's popular these days? what are you currently doing? what do you want to do?
post your
age/degree/school/job
>22, applied mathematics, Berkeley
>interning at a bank in SF doing statistical stuff. (quant)
although trying to get into software engineering, i feel thats where the fun is.

>what's popular these days?
Considering the fact that some days ago my fucking old as fuck dad sent me an email with a blogpost about Data Science, it looks like Data Science is the meme of the month. I suppose.
It is unrelated, but data science looks like fucking shit.
>what are you currently doing?
Software Development. It is comfier than I thought it would be because of the scope of the projects I work 100% alone and I only have to report to clients, but clients cannot talk directly to me so I live in a cloud where I just have to casually think about work.
Use mostly Java and VB.Net so I'm not exactly living the C++ dream but with Java I can pretend.
I basically construct simple algorithms that just have a lot of moving parts and don't have inherent complexity in them, but still these are fun problems to think about and like the pretend mathematician I am, I love it. Then I have to design UIs because text interfaces are not acceptable in 2016 but that is fine too because it is quick and not too boring.
All that I do is related in some way or another to finance.
>what do you want to do?
'Graduate' from finance to science/math but honestly I don't care that much. Maybe I will one day do a MS in something related and then live the dream.
>although trying to get into software engineering, i feel thats where the fun is.
It is okay. I enjoy a lot but I feel like if I told you it is amazing I would be lying to you. It is just 'ok'.

Oh, and I want to add this and I hope others will agree.
There is a metric on payscale that says the percentage of people from every career who believe that they are making the world a better place with their careers.
Please answer that too, if you think you are doing good.
I'd say yes. Because of me, entrepreneurs looking to get loans to fund their cancer research company can calculate the cost of their payment more comfortably and faster.
Hello /sci/,
Many people have been running around saying that milk is bad/harmful to ones body.
Is this true? i drink alot of milk and is more healthy than those around me and have bones strong as iron (my pure swedish friend as well).
Im half swedish if maybe the race and historical feeding might be a reason for todays studies results.
Shocking new discovery:
Dying is a side effect of living
Everything in moderation, etc etc.
>>8085578
Cow's milk is for calves.
Human milk is for human children under 6yo.
Also, at least in the USA, most of the milk in stores isn't milk anymore. it is just a milk product with stuff removed and stuff added in order to make more money.
Explain this to me
1: charge density creates a divergent E-field, which magnitude is proportionale to the charge
2: B field doesnt diverge
3: B field which changes with time creates an rotational E field
4. rotational b field is created by current and time dependant e field
>>8083450
So could you say what every symbol stands for? like
ρ density
>>8083455
You can just look that up on Wikipedia

Why are all the composites PERFECTLY spherical then?
You now realise that either:

lol he opened my eyes I thought Star Wars was real, I fucking love science !!! xD
Reverse time travel possible? what are your thoughts anons?
No. Also FTL isn't possible, either.
existence is only so much
we are only so much
>>8084670
Michio Kaku says it could be possible for a class 3 civilization we cannot yet harness the power of a black hole
when does math stop being babby-tier?
It doesn't.
Whole thing is an overhyped waste of time. Doesn't deserve to be a part of STE.

Don't post here again until you're doing triple teichmuller integrals in interuniversal banach space
How would Humans be able to live on Mars? How will we be able to build cities and settlements suitable for Humans? Also what are the long term affects of Humans living on Mars after multiple generations?

Bump
>>8075149
Oh c'mon! Is no one on this board?
>>8075149
Nobody really knows because it hasn't been tried yet. But here are some things we can assume:
1. Mars will need many more GPS and communications satellites just to cover planning and communications
2. many more probes (specifically ones that can do a broad variety of geological and hydrological studies) will be needed to get more data on Martian geology and hydrology
3. for manned missions, it's extremely likely that backup supplies and rockets would be sent so that there is only a minimal...

Theoretically, say you have a mathematically perfect sphere. I know its impossible, so shut the fuck up. If you placed it on an impossibly perfect surface that is perfectly level, would the area of the sphere touching the flat base be infinitely small? Would the theoretical sphere be dented and made imperfect just by contact with the flat surface, regardless of weight, resilience or density?
What's the sphere made of?
>>8086050
>if there was a perfect sphere, would it be imperfect?
Sounds like no?

C1 tomorrow lads
>11 hours
Whats your routine? Ill wake up at half 6, roll out of bed at 7, be ready at half 7, do and mark last years paper then leave at 8:15
C1 is fucking easy m8, just don't forget to add C when integrating :^)
How did it go lads?
OCR C1 resitter here.
Was a nice, albeit unusual paper. Checked my answers on TSR and looks like I got everything right.
Couldn't have been a better start to A-levels famillio
>no sqt in sight
What the fuck does pic related mean?
>>8070808
fuck you next time add "stupid" in the subject faggot
Hey /sci/, I'm looking for books or links about polynomial factorization that has many exercises (ranging from beginner level to advanced/challenge level), can you recommend me some?
>>8071337
Are you talking specifically about polynomials in one variable?
If you're smart, anon. Why don't you study at :
>MIT
>Harvard
>Oxford
>Cambridge
>CalTech
>Princeton
>>8079187
I'm so smart, I don't need to study. I went straight into research.
people come to /sci/ not because they are smart, but because they wanna feel smart.
>>8079187
I'm even smarter than you think. That's why I study at a better school, and get this: for free.
New big sunspot will stare right into our eyeballs in few days from now. Last time that happened some 49 Japanese were killed in an earthquake.
Pseudoscience does not belong here.
