this isn't about engineering school so it has no place on this board, sage
I'm simple minded, but given trigonometric definitions Sin Cosine Tangent of this pythagorean triple. How would I derive angle measures in degrees given the decimal/ fractions given Sine theta .80, Cosine theta .60 and Tangent 1.333 theta. of the top angle. Given it's a right triangle where the lines 4 and 3 meet. How do I transform this to get a degree part for the remaining angles using the trigonometric functions?

First year physics student here.
It's nearly 2am and I just spent the last 2 hours doing my calc homework
I want to tell people, so it doesnt seem as unimportant.
>Not going to tell my friends
>Friends would think I'm self obsessed
>Don't care if strangers think I am
Pic related, last problem I had to do
>spent two hours doing that
lmao ur dumb af senpai

Please no bullying. I am not the OP but I couldn't do that problem in 10 hours. I have never taken physics.

Learning to do by hand what a computer can do in a fraction of a second.
I mean yeah we probably need a couple thousand people on earth able to do this but not every fucking person with a science degree. It's totally ridiculous.
Hey /sci/! Never been on this board but I have a question! Is Tryptamine a class? Is it a chemical in its own right or do you have to add things to it? Maby both? thanks!

It mixes well with vodka.
I'm sure it does! haha

specify your inquiry, or read about it on wikipedia
Do you think the average scientist in 100 years will have to be more or less knowledgable than now?
>>7805467
The same, probably. I'd imagine the general trend toward relying on software and increasing specialization would keep going.
Any medfags about?
I got minor frostbite on my penis on Wednesday. I warmed it up in the bath but I feel as though I have lost about 30% of the sensitivity at the end of my foreskin.
Please reassure me that this will return or tell me what I can do to assist nerves healing.
>>7805450
If you like having a penis, go to the fucking ER instead of asking people on 4chan
>>7805480
What on earth are they going to do/say? I've already said it was minor - it went red and hurt quite a bit, not agonisingly. I have effectively first aided it by all accounts: I warmed it and it's been fine except for a bit of tingling and the symptoms already described.
>>7805490
How did this even happen?

Biological anomaly. Provides insight into life extension/cryogenic sleep.

it's a miracle. it comes back to life from dead just like it says. this is the power of science
So if we have things like the complex number space to explore the usefulness of the square root of a -1 and then stuff like limits for being able to approximate what happens in places where a function is otherwise undefined, why do we not have something similar for treating irrationals as rations?
Is it just not a useful space to explore? Or is it something happens in one of the more advanced kinds of math that I have no knowledge of?
Just divide by a power of ten?
I received a Newton's Cradle as a present and have been playing with it.
How come when I drop 2 balls onto 3 the centre ball remains motionless but when I drop 3 balls onto 2 the centre ball oscillates?
I thought that 3 on 2 and 2 on 3 would be effectively the same.

Newton's Revenge
It's simple conservation of momentum
Two balls have enough momentum to move balls, and only this much (the third ball in the centre remains motionless)
Three balls have more than enough momentum to move the remaining two balls so the third ball in the middle has enough momentum to oscillate
When you lift up 2 balls, you build up two balls worth of energy. Then you let go and when they hit the three balls, the two balls worth of energy goes into the three balls. Now the energy wants to go as far as it can, so it goes all the way to the end of the three balls. So the first ball takes one balls worth of energy and shoots out; the second ball takes the other balls worth of energy and shoots out. They do this at the same time, so the two balls shoot out together since they take all the energy; but there's no energy left for the third (center) ball, so it stays still.

Hear me out, /sci/ I got a bit of wacky theory that I just came up while I was in light pre-sleeping mode. I thought this through while in this state of semi sleep and went through my entire life's memory.
Modern neuroscience tells us that our memory is fallible and change over time. They also tell us that our memories are formed via specific unique signals. Our personalities are result of culmination of what our memories have shaped us into. Our fears, knowledge, joys, taste, etc are all based on memory.
What if we can change the memory of a person with special signals tools that is played back when a person is recalling their past memory and then have a new set of memory attached to a new signal? Obvious issues I see is how someone would be able to easily change that. I think a deep introspection during semi-sleep/drowzy mind would be ideal testing ground for that. As for the tools, it could a auditory/visual cue played with new sets of memory thats being fed to the test subject. Something like a mp3 player would work. For example, playing some war noise like machine gun, people crying/screaming while someone is in deep state of recalling their past memory and then in the background, another voice (test subject's own per-recorded voice) is narrating a new war memory.
Obviously the the more subtle the memory change, the higher chance this might work out fine. Still what's the feasibility of such an experiment?

They've done this already, it's called hypnosis and hypnotic suggestion. It has it's limitations.
>>7805445
Always thought hypnosis was bunk, is it a valid scientific tool?
So I found this paper online

And found it to be very inspiring after carefully reading it and understanding it. It's actually revolutionary... Why is no one talking about it?

you oversold the troll, obviously nobody will believe you
here's your response so you can feel good about yourself
>>7805288
I'm sorry, you must be seriously limited mentally or cognitively. Consider visiting a psychologist for an intellectual quotient test.
I?m here to talk about something serious. I'll wait for the right person who wants to discuss the topic.

>I am saying that asians show to be objectively smarter
I think it's more of a factor of culture, population and selection. The majority of Asians who are smarter on average in my experience are the ones that are international students. The westernized ones I've met that were either born here or were heavily influenced by western way of life are more on par with everyone else. My experience on taking to these internationals were that it was very hard for them to study overboard, since they require a lot of effort. Mostly it's just one person from a large family of Chinese that actually go overboard to study, and to even have that opportunity they need to work fuck hard or have rich parents.
In reality we all have the same potential to be geniuses regardless of race or culture. It's a matter of how much you are uninfluenced by bad culture, ability to maintain motivation and dedication.
>>7805205
What Asians are they even talking about? Is it just East Asians? Or are they including Southeast Asians too? What about Indians, who are closer to Caucasians than anything?
I'm trying to get into a physical therapist assistant program this fall.
I received a message from my anatomy/physiology instructor today inviting me to take part in an independent study for college credit/resume bragging rights. I have to let him know Monday if I want to do it. I'm interested but I have no idea how intensive it will end up being and I'm also unsure of what to do in relation to physical rehabilitation therapy. This is all stuff I'll talk with him about, but I'd like to know if anyone here has taken part in something like this and what your experience was like.

Only works if the assumptions about the model's environment match those of the real world.
