Since I was a teenager, I always saw light in different ways. But now everytime I see a street light or a lamp, I can see how its "light particles move", now Im not sure what it is, It's definitely NOT floaters.
Pic related is how I see the light in a lamp post, expect it moves, just like an electro magnetic field
I really need your help, should I get my eyes checked?
You should take haloperidol.
More on this, If the light is ambar, I can see the individual ambar "light particles" exit the lamp, go up, enter return to the lamp the opposite way, Its really interesting

Thats for psychotic disorders, you cant be serious
My family is littered with doctors, they would have noticed something was wrong when I got checked
So there is a website where you can sort through a 100 billion photos of galaxies taken by autonomous space robots and classify them for science. For no pay.
So I was clicking through and found this galaxy, which doesn't look like anything else I've ever seen or heard of.
Any ideas on why an otherwise boring, pleb-tier elliptical galaxy is shitting out stars in that C-shape pattern? It makes no sense to me whatsoever.
That is peculiar. I'm no astronomer, but I've never seen a galaxy with arms going the opposite direction

That cant be right.. I mean.. Maybe it has to do with the image.. I mean.. Thats un natural right?

I like pluto, and I like this senpai too.
I've been searching solar system planetary science in recent days, and this man is all over everything. Even keeps a great web page on solar system bodies with a daily date update tag, keeping him honest. Now I know that Orcus is, in multiple senses, the complementary body of Pluto!
Did Asians get their strange looks from interbreeding with the Red Deer people?
>>7800895
>their strange looks
you should hear what they say about your looks, gaijin
>>7801494
Because all those asians getting plastic surgery to add a crease to the eyelid, all those anime characters from notoriously xenophobic japan with incredibly western features, and wave after wave of cultural fashion fads empasizing caucasion features like blonde hair, colored contact lenses, and altered skin tones really go to show just how hideous the average asian finds white people to be.

Is light matter or energy?
>implying matter and energy are two different things
>>7804486
Why are you implying they are not?

you bureaucratic whores who leech of taxpayer money may not be aware of this, but in the industry there's a concept called competition, and I've heard it's very useful to the development of a market.

Just like how it's useful in getting your mom
Can someone give me the lowdown on bioinformatics, computational biology, and the major difference between the two.
I really enjoy math and I think there is some cool shit in mol bio so I want to find a graduate program in which I could merge the two.
>>7803447
Bioinformatics is generally used interchangeably with computational biology, but in some contexts it connotes more of a data-analytic approach while computational biology is about creating computational models of biological systems.
>>7803481
soo computational biology is kinda about creating the tools that bioinformatitions use?
>>7803499
These terms are used so vaguely that it is pointless to worry about labeling. In the most specific sense though I would not say that computational biology creates tools for bioinformatics. Computational biology tends to be about trying to model a biological system. This is sort of like inductive reasoning, in that you are "guessing" how the system works and seeing how the results of your guess match the empirical data. Bioinformatics on the other hand is more deductive in that you are finding a pattern in...

Suppose in some hypothetical society, the four forces of nature are as mythologized and symbolic as the classical elements. What do you think they would represent?

well to be fair, the latter is what it usually ends up as
Isn't it weird that all 'known' planets seem to be orbiting from the same (left) side of the sun?
right?
>>7802947
yeah its counterclockwise wise like the muslims with kabaa
Those aren't planets...
is there one field that covers all these areas?
>/sci/ help me change fields give me a reason to exist look at all these pdf's i'm hording that i have never opened
I bet you haven't read even one of those pdf files faggot
1) What got you into science?
2) What keeps you going?
3) Why not something else?

Was unpopular so I just picked up it at school
I want to prove to everyone I'm smart
No one is smarter than the physicist
1. I dunno, I think I had it from early childhood, you know being curious about shit around me
2. It pays off more than anything else, somehow
3. I'm pretty fucking old to start something else, but at this point I do sciencey schtuff almost intuitively, so I even have enough free time to get bored
>>7801788
how old are you?
How close do you think we are to having neural implants available for the general public? Even just simple bionic eyes that overlay heads up displays over your normal vision.
Kurzweil says by the 2030s, but he might be a little optimistic even though he's been correct on a lot of things before.
What about you, /sci/? Would you go for one of these expensive surgeries to get an implant if it could give you eidetic memory or something similarly powerful?
Who knows? I doubt anyone on /sci/ is working on the kind of nanotech advanced enough to give a definitive answer, so everything is just conjecture.
Man, you are fucking stupid if you want Neural implants. What of someone hacks into them, or the government knows exactly what you are thinking at all times. Fucking scary man. And what if it short circuits or overheats and starts frying your brain (literally).
It's exactly like 1984.
