Why do I have to learn this for physics? What use is rudimentary complex analysis going to have for a physics degree?
Pic related, an example of my work.

Because it's going to appear everywhere in your graduate courses.
Conformal maps/ fluid dynamics

Is it true that only at about 18 years old does the brain develop enough to work with advanced mathematics, but the brain stops developing at 25.
So you have between 18-25 to train your brain, and whatever level of ability you achieve by 25 will stay with you for the rest of your life?
Yes its true, but a banana is also radioactive.
The extent of this is probably not noticeable to any significant degree. People usually just claim this because younger people tend to have more ambition and thus achieve more. This is, however, a reflection of you as a person as opposed to your biological factors.
(e.g. only babies can learn languages) A baby spends 24/7/365 for 4-7 years learning a language. People on average spend around 2-8 months w/ a couple hours thrown in here and there

Wait I've spent 14-24 smoking pot almost everyday.
I was considering quiting and going back to school.
Have I just dun goofed and may as well go into trades and be sad pleb?

Life is full of hard choices.
Make one and commit to it
Science can't prove the existence of parallel universes, also it can exlcude them.
Science can't prove the existence of God, also it can exclude his existence.
Science can't prove the origin of the universe bla bla bla.
Is there anything that we can exclude for sure? I'm talking about the biggest questions of life.
absence of proof = proof of absence
>>7926089
We can exclude "there's something we can exclude"
>>7926089
Science can't prove anything. That's the field of mathematics and mathematics alone.
If spiciness is actually pain, how come my finger never felt spiciness?
>>7926053
cut your finger and then put a jalapeno in the cut
>>7926053
Your finger doesn't have the right cells to detect spiciness.
Long term, depending on what makes it spicy, you may have a reaction if it was acidic or basic.
>>7926105
oh to be a freshman
So why haven't we encountered intelligent life /sci/? Are we in a space zoo? We can't be alone, can we?

I'm not saying it's self-replicating killer robots, but it's self-replicating killer robots.

Russians will some day disclose alien presence on earth just to undermine USA credibility.

Okay.
Distance and relatively slow speed limits.
Sup nerds. The Inexplicable Universe will be removed from Netflix at the end of the month. If you haven't caught it yet, I highly recommend it. Lecture-style talks from NDT, pre-Cosmos, not typical popsci.
You can still find it for free to download places, but streaming is nice.

Niel got Walter Lewined
I really enjoyed it, although I watched every episode while high on mushrooms.

Were you tripping on those little dicks? How are they? I heard they are stronger than other shrooms.
AlphaGo vs Lee Sedol
https://youtu.be/qUAmTYHEyM8
>>7925694
I'm curious as to what the reaction would be if Lee Sedol wins the next three matches.
>>7925729
Honestly, this wouldn't surprise me, either.
Lee Sedol is an emotional player. He may have come in expecting to cruise through it, been upset by the first loss, and then been unable to get his head straight for the second game.
He has turned matches around after a bad start before. Alphago plays well, but not flawlessly. Pros analysing the game do see it making strategic mistakes.
>>7925729
Didn't he say that he wants to win at least one game now? I don't think that he is confident in his skill.
Why is there a girls only mathematics olympiad in Europe?
>>7925683
to promote females in mathematics
>>7925683
To encourage more women to enter STEM fields so as to increase the STEM labour force and meet growing demands for STEM workers. Read an HR report once in a while, you might find them pretty interesting.
why do you care. if i start a me-only video game club in my room, what the fuck does it have to do with you
What broad and specific faults can you point out in this tech tree?

Civ 4.

Astronomy should come much earlier before mathematics, it's pretty much the reason why mathematics was developed. That and measuring your land.

There will only so many things to take from the Greeks.
Are people with Downs syndrome really more evolved than us normies?
Is Downs syndrome the next step in human evolution?
>>7925257
This is what happen when you don't treat women as cattle. Autists.
Considering you're downs yourself and so damn retarded and ignorant, and ignorance=bliss, yes, I would agree.
>>7925257
I thought autists were more evolved. We wuz scientistz n' shit can you dig it?
What risks do I get running beta blockers on a daily basis while being healthy? Calling medfags, I need them for a job.

I've actually seen that post but its really fuckin hilarious, thanks

What?
Has there been a halth board in the past?
If the universe is fractal what is the point of particle physics? They'll just keep on discovering an infinite number of fundamental particles!

>>7925071
The point is to give engineers and practical physicists something to work with, humanity isn't going to explain the universe, but it's going to die comfortably.

And you pulled that one out of your ass.
i need help cleaning a microscope, i think there is something wrong with mine, im getting a weird "foggy window" effect when i use my 60x and 100x objectives, im also noticing some "wipe" marks on my eye pieces at the 100x objective that is making it insanely hard to see anything even with immersion oil. what do you guys do to clean and maintain your microscopes?
im trying to link my twitch to show a video i recorded through my microscope but this image broad has turned to complete shit and wont let me post it
/omfjames/v/53709047
just put that at the end of twitch url
and go to like 32min in
>>7925060
Nice picture of an alga called pediastrum in the first pic op. You're not really giving much info about the issues you are having. Best to try one thing at a time and check if it made the difference. As for wipe marks... did you mean the eyepieces or the actual lens of the 100x objective. For eyepieces use a cotton swab and swirl it outwards from the centre. If on the objective, most likely not removing the immersion oil properly - use good grade wipes like kimwipes not regular tissues and a bit of ethanol if you got some.
I'm fascinated by the idea of biohacking, diybio. I have never studied bio on pro level, but I have some general knowledge about it and I have a basic set of lab tools and a microscope. What projects would be ideal to start with? I am interested in safe and legal stuffs only.
