who goes to Queen's for engineering?
I go to King's. I love guys, I love you.
hnnng
fuck queens, western all the way
Nice pole.
is evolutionary psychology a valid approch to human behaviour ?
>>8046947
Yes.
Anyone who disagrees is clearly retarded.
>>8046947
>psychology
>valid
choose one
>>8046950
You were just conditioned to think that way due to your environment, your opinion is too limited in scope and invalid.
When did you realize that engineering is insane?
>>8046207
The worst part is the pay isn't even that great. True cuck work.
This is why engineering is the intelligent choice.
>>8046221
>4-7 IQ points
this is like saying you're better than someone because you're .5" taller than they are.
4chan is a superintelligence. Opinions?
More like a superstupidity, IMO.
>>8047392
Superintelligence, if intelligence is horse shit to you.
>>8047406
Mentally retarded superintelligence maybe, or immature.
Is climate change real?
yes. it was sunny yesterday and its raining today
I got a sunburn yesterday.
Honestly, we have a climate crisis.
No. Planck function is a lie.
Are visual proofs mathematical proofs?
>>8043036
Yep
>>8043036
it depends
>>8043036
no. never.
visual drawings give a good idea of things, but unless you actually write it down, it's really easy to trick yourself
>there are people out there who think this is genuinely a good idea.
I sure am glad that my doctor has to consult her textbook everytime I visit; aren't you, guys?
>>8048019
if the civil engineer designing my septic system didn't have a book open and check all his work with a computer, I'd be pretty upset
this is the same meme as teachers telling you "no calculators on this exam, you won't be carrying a calculator with you everywhere you go in life!" when literally 100% of people have a wolfram-alpha capable pocket computer with them 24/7 the following year
next decade it'll be "don't take this test using your sub-dermal brain implants,...

I sure would be glad if the last 4 times I've been to a doctor, they could have found what was wrong with me instead of just giving me a retarded prescription for symptoms that would come back later. If they need books to help me, let them use books. They're trained to do that.
At least one had the honesty of saying "I don't know what this is, I...

The man who knew infinity?
>>8036582
Certain people are born in this world but not apart of it. These people are like Ramanujan, Gauss Cantor, Godel etc.
>>8036630
Were they aliens?
>>8036630
agreed and langan
What's the best way to get red pilled on evolution? I want to be able to understand it and know the evidence instead of just trusting the scientists and knowing nothing about the subject.
>>8043876
>red pilled
ugh
Anyway, I don't know, you could take just search for open courseware in biology that covers evolution, natural selection etc...
Watch more dawkins
>>8043876
darwins origin of species probably best place to start

>Refused the Fields medal and the $1 million Clay Millennium Prize

I cannot even begin to imagine how nihilistic and apathetic he must be with his high IQ.
>>8039280
Sounds like he is mentally ill.
Grigori Perelman is ugly though. If he is ugly then how could his Mathematics be right? Just because it says Geometry or "Topology"? I don't think he is even Poincaré conjecture. Perhaps he is a Muslim. He recently moved to Israel as I saw in the documentary about him.
The Rhind Papyrus is an ancient Egyptian mathematical papyrus which dates from about 1650 BC. This is around the time of ancient Egypt's middle kingdom (a bit later, it seems). The papyrus contains some (very) elementary problems of arithmetic and geometry - in particular, quantities are reckoned (somewhat arbitrarily!) in terms of /Egyptian fractions/, which are sums of unit fractions (fractions whose numerator is one):

In the mid-19th century one Alexander Rhind, a Scottish antiquarian, purchased the papyrus...

Very cool, I'll be following this thread.
>>8027713
Me too, sounds pretty cool. Pretty, pretty, pretty cool.
Unfortunately the Egyptians' attitude towards math was purely utilitarian. They did not contemplate theoretical stuff, but only sought methods to perform calculations directly connected to real life problems like measuring areas of polygon shapes etc.
Rocket thread! Talk about space (mainly rockets and the iss with space programs) and share images!
I got a question, what it the original space shuttle program worked?
ITT: Pic related
>>8040690
How many old Space Shuttle boosters are left?
What is more efficient in terms of pure delta v, Nerva engines or ion propulsion?
Does the ion propulsion change much if its powered by a nuclear drive instead of solar cells?
taking this into account, does anyone have any sources regarding what propulsion is being considered for the mars mission?
i mean, surely if we could get around the nuclear paranoia the nervas would be the best bet for it
We might be completely alone in this universe.
Does this thought scare you?
Well I'm probably gonna die before we have a chance to meet anyone anyway so I don't really care.
>>8042935
>We might be completely alone in this universe.
Even if there are neighbors as close as the moons of Jupiter, the lack of contact makes up effectively alone (presently).
Being completely alone in the universe is incredibly unlikely.
Reality lies somewhere between these two.
Why would we be scared again?
>>8042935
You might be a complete tool.
Does this thought scare you?
Did males just get a headstart
or
do women just prefer other fields?

>Girls grow up thinking about their bodies and others -> Women go into the biological and social sciences
>Boys grow up building shit and playing with electrical shit -> Men go into STEM
So mysterious...
>>8042395
That kind of logic is really stupid. Gender imbalance in a field is an old thing.
By that argument, I can ask more men to become pole dancers, can I? But clearly no one give a shit about that, right?
There are something a woman can do better than a man and vice versa. It's not like both are biologically made the same way.
I thought Bill Nye was better than that. What a retard.
Unless the quote was fake.
>>8042402
No one really wants to see a man pole dancing.. unless maybe he's really, REALLY good at it. And he goes out of his way to be presentable as a pole dancer.
It's the same with women scientists and engineers.
What would have been the evolutionary optimal age of female for a man to acquire back in caveman times?
>>8030655
Post-pubescent.
>>8030658
12?
