What is "spin" in particle physics?
Each time I ask a physicist, they start off with confidence but end up confusing themselves.
>>7837947
Are you dumb or what?
Is the direction of which a particle is spinning.
Imagine when you spin a ball, or how the earth spins, it's exactly the same.
>>7837947
The Spin(n) group is a double cover of SO(n).
>>7837988
either wrong or I don't understand it or both.
What is your opinion on Neil DeGrasse Tyson?

Better than Bill Nye

He's fine and probably a pretty smart guy. His job is to explain technical things to the general public, which naturally tends to come off as dumbing-down, and I don't pay much attention to him. I wish there were science entertainment shows targeted at the college level.
I don't like eating. I am too busy, I don't like spending the money, and I don't ever have an appetite to eat anything, ever.
Why can't I just live off sugar, milk and vitamins?
Why can't I just put 1000 calories of sugar with 1000 calories of milk, throw in some powdered vitamins / minerals, and live off of it for the rest of my life?
I would be reaching all vitamin, mineral, macro nutrient, and caloric requirements, so what would be the problem(s) with this diet? What non-imaginary factors am I not accounting for, if any at all?
fiber, for one

some tech faggot already figured it out for you

You can (almost)!

post what you would consider the bible of /sci/
How the fuck do I write a sum function for an array that is O(log n) or better? I don't see any other way around it without recursion or looping
>>7883502
I don't know. You could instead get educated on race and iq.

Alright /sci/, I need you to tell me if I can make it into the California Institute of Technology based on muh credentials:
-Currently Senior in High School
-3.4 GPA
-31 ACT/2100 SAT
-Extracurricular Activities: JCL, Science Club President, Founder and President of High School's Chess Club, Academic Team, Film Club, Art Club, History Club (All of these clubs are why GPA is so low)
-At least 4 Stellar Rec Letters
-Can write killer essays
-Lots of AP Classes w/ good grades in most
-Can conjure up sob story about Mother's death, etc.

>Look online for requirements
All they tell me is "Holistic Admissions" and 4. fucking 0 GPA yeah I know I fucked that up
Not to hurt your feelings, but not a fucking chance in hell.
Scores are too low. Have you done anything significant? E.g. Won a national award for science, won a robotics competition, etc.
>>7882613
No. I had a 3.4, 33 ACT, state Tennis player, plenty of extracurriculars and volunteer work, APs and rec letters and I didn't even get into CalPolytech.
And don't write college essays about your mother's death, they don't want to read that.

there are a whole bunch of people trying to manipulate you into discussing conspiracies
How would I go about solving this? I don't necessarily need to express y as a function of x but the general solution would be accepted.
I understand it's a homogenous equation, I was able to split it up into two separate integrals but I can't see a clear method of integration without it getting really messy.
>>7879177
their just like fractions you move them around and get xdx= (x+y)dy and you integrate those
>>7879177
Separation of variables
>>7879177
do the division
x/x+y, x cancels out. d/dx = y
Is there such a thing as devolution, and is the human species currently undergoing it?
Is there such a thing as /pol/ fucking off back to their containment board?
>>7882762
>asking a question with support from screenshots of a region that's intentionally crippling itself
>G-GO BACK TO /POL/ YOU SHITLORDS
Every time.
I have a two legit questions.
Does /pol/ actually believe we can't tell they are from /pol/ when they make their topics?
Secondly, are these topics just troll attempts, or does /pol/ actually expect /sci/ to give legit answers to the pseudoscientific /pol/ topics?
would science progress a lot faster if we barred anyone who doesn't have a 150 IQ and a near perfect academic record?
Hopefully this should get rid of the current publish or perish culture as we have too many shit papers by subpar academics vs quality ones
do you really think IQ is a satisfactory indicator of one's intellectual abilities?
>>7881282
>who doesn't have a 150 IQ and a near perfect academic record?
Why don't you just say you have never worked in research, but are fresh out of highschool and just loooove mathematics and want to be a professor?
>>7881282
there is no progress in science. can you take a course on philosophy of science, instead of displaying your faggotry ?
What does /sci/ think of Christian Science?

I like their logo.
If your major had a slogan what would it be?
Computer science - we don't know why or how it works, we just turn it in.
>>7871863
That is not Computer Science, that's coding monkey business. Unless you're a trolling fag

why on earth would the rate of meteors depend on the temperature of the planet?

Theorem: Calculus is wrong.
For a theory or set of knowledge to be true, it must always give correct results. A failure to do so, at even an instance, invalidates it and will require a reformulation of the theory and procedures.
That said. Lets get the derivative of sinx.
Easy, right?
(sin(x+h) - sin(x))/h as h->0
(sin(x)cos(h) + cos(x)sin(h) - sin(x))/0 as h-> 0
because h->0, cos(h)->1 and sin(h)->0
(sin(x) - sin(x))/h as h->0
so we end up with
0/h as h->0 which is basically 0/0, that is to say undefined.
Therefore, our current calculus FAILS to get a defined derivation of sine, and you will see that the same thing happens for cosine.
Therefore all of calculus is wrong and you are all basically morons for studying so much of it when it was all wrong. All you had to do to prove it was to try to derivate sin or cos and realize that some faggot 300 years ago called Isaac Bumfuckton just made up the derivative and paid no close attention to that would happen.
Q.E. Motherfucking D.

>i'll take the limit of sin and cos but forget to take the limit of h in the same expression
is this the new 1 = 0?

Is she officially smarter than Mochizuki?
>>7870252
Lel I noticed her too. Integration beast. Bitch never gives the proof though. For all we know she could be pluggin 'n chuggin Mathematica.
well at least this is a different format from the usual autist's threads about "her"
