You are retarded if can't find it.

No. Aliens use base SKLEEZAKSNAR.

Newsflash for all the happy-go-bingbazinga nerds who are in your community.
Nobody cares whether light, gravity or my farts come out in waves or particles.
You might have got upset when you found out that santa claus was arrested on child molesting charges and it may remind you of the same feeling, but you shouldn't connect it to sadness, you should connect it to finding out the truth. Isn't that the reason you went to university (those of /sci/ who actually are or went to one and aren't just here to feel "sciency" and "nerdy")?
And the truth is, nobody cares whether Einstein was correct or not. What they care about is whether Einstein can put food in their tables. Can they live better with what Einstein said?
Oh and another thing: science can only explain things to a certain degree and in a given way.
The only thing that makes you guys think you are superior: money. It's who gets paid better and for what. As far as the status of the rest of you is concerned, it makes no difference to the world whether you have degrees or not, since you are unemployed (especially if you are in debt).

I went to university to make money, faggot.
>>7854613
but I bet you bitch when you hear of "women studies", correct?
the sad thing is that somebody thought this would be the height of humour
just embarassing.
What level of degree do you have?
bachelors in anime

I have 3 undergrad degrees in physics, math and philosophy. (yes, still couldn't find a job)
Currently working on my PhD in physics, but I'm looking towards philosophy as an academic career. As soon as I get a PhD candidate offer at a good phil. school I'm getting the fuck out of the miserable STEM grind.

Now that we have discovered Black Holes (pretty excited about that btw) What do you think we can discover next /sci/? How far can LIGO take us?

Please stop posting.

This hype deserves a few weeks to repost

Am I the only one who is excited about this? damn.
Im new here, i came to read about the recent discover that we can detectate gravity waves, but there's no thread about it, so i'll start

>Interbreeding 50,000 years ago between two species
Wait, I thought that species meant they could not breed together.
So, what is a Neanderthal? Another race that went extinct or another species? I went to wikipedia to double check the meaning of species and holy shit it is like they can't agree on 1 definition.
Case in point,

>In science class we were taught that one species can't breed with another species.
That's the rule of thumb definition, but biology just isn't that neat. Because ofhow evolution works, there is no way to make a clean definition that always applies. We're all cousins.
>>7854364
It's one of those terms that was defined historically to fit ideas at the time and the definition is probably going to need to be modified.
Not being able to breed and produce viable offspring was the original definition, but we've found interbreeding between species happening again and again.
Biologists will, at some point, need to modify the definition to deal with DNA distance (Percentage of DNA difference), Significant Mutations (Distinct Changes in DNA that allow for adaptation to an environment...

This guy says nearly anyone can be a mechanical engineer. Is he right?
nice link
>>7854361
nearly anyone can be any type of engineer
Anyone can CALL themselves an engineer because it's not a protected title like doctor. If that changed, all these faggots could get prosecuted and engineering would be a respected profession again.
why the fuck does this exist?

Will electromagnetic radiation propagate infinitely through a vacuum?
Thanks
No. All waves need a medium.
EM waves can't travel through a vacuum. Space is actually filled with a transparent, infinitely rigid/dense but completely non-viscous fluid.

sublime trolling, thank you. it made me think of an obvious answer. stars are very far away.
>tfw met an actual cute grill who is majoring in math and actually knows her shit and says that if she doesn't become a mathematician she'll just shot herself.
I want to fuck her but what's the catch here?
Why is she not a vapid dumb slut who uses guys for money? Why is she actually trying to learn math? How can such girl exist?

Dude, she's the one. Invite me to your wedding.

If your STEM degree has the word technology, management, science, or information in the title, then it is a poverty tier meme degree.

I've had this thought in my head for such a long time now, what would happen if you were to be shot by a bullet that was the size of an atom? Don't bring up the story with the guy who had the same thing happen to him through his head, that had lethal doses of radiation. Imagine the bullet has no radiation and is the size of an atom, what would happen theoretically?
>>7853706
Nothing because you cannot pack a complex molecular structure into an atom.
>>7853706
Well, you would be shooting an atom at someone since you couldn't make a bullet out of atoms if it is on the scale of atoms. So nothing would happen(with just one bullet).
>>7853706
Nothing. It would kill a few cells and the body wouldn't even notice. It could pass all the way through you and you wouldn't even feel it.
