How hard is it to design a wing?
I know little about aerodynamics, but I imagine it would mostly just be plugging numbers into equations.
>>7797700
design a wing for what?
If you already have a wing model and just need to know its characteristics, sure you could plug and chug.
If you want to design a new form or whatever, you need to model the whole thing, simulate, make prototypes, run trials, analyze data, improve initial design and so on until you reach a satisfactory design.
But that's not a job for an "engineer" with a mere BSc
>>7797718
Design one from scratch, but to keep things relatively simple it would just be a glider i think - im smart enough to be worrying about fuel lines and control systems.
Do you know what I could use to model potential design? Would Solidworks be practical?
anyone can build a bridge, it takes an engineer to just barely build a bridge.
A wing that just works wouldn't be too hard. But does this wing work well? Is it held up to any safety standards to commercial use? There are alot of questions.
explain this, faggots
>>7800413
They can't. No one can. You won math.
>>7800413
all you did was manipulate the fact that
sqrt(1) = +-1
>>7800425
do you even math?
its normal to shred tears after taking anesthesia on a frontal tooth?

Only if you are a fag

you are a fag alright
>>7800348
im not
fyi this is grad school
it sucks balls, don't expect to make friends
life is lonely
ur social life is kill
>>7799936
No fucking way that is STEM grad school.
>>7799936
Wake up. Grad school is just a nihilist jerk off spree to see what student can unravel reality into the meaningless cesspool that it is. Grad school is a joke. It's a egotistical badge of honor. I got my BA and got the fuck out of the school system.
>>7799991
Damn, I must assume that your rejection letter from grad school was not very well received from your part.
Also

What the fuck are you doing here?
Book ten.
Propositions 85-90.
A couple things, first of all, why is the porism on proposition six constantly referenced? In the case of the former pair, it is always BC and CD, square numbers, and the latter is just another whole and annex squared. This would make more sense if there were a triplet of proportional lines for the former case because then the square lines could be as the first to the last.
But barring that, my second concern is in the vein of how they are used. Like why isn't
the whole squared : annex squared :: whole number : larger...

Because all of his work could be backed up with algorithms?

Find the area.
Area = (L + H + 2) (2W + 2H + 2)
L = 11cm
W = 6cm
H = 4cm

Will the discovery of anti-gravity effectively usher in the 2nd industrial revolution? How will it change science and engineering exactly?
>>7799495
Literally what? We can already generate artificial gravity in centrifuges, your image is an application of that
>>7799495
I wonder if trees would be able to grow taller in such an environment because less gravity the closer you are to axis so the easier it becomes to transport nutrients further from the roots.
Dont post interesting pictures.
Has anyone ACTUALLY calculated/modelled keeeping an atmosphere inside one of those things? I think it would need spin too fast.
Will we ever be able to see the multitude of colors and stuff that the 3 cones in our eyes don't allow us to?
Is it really completely impossible without implanting more cones or something? Would even doing that work?
Please respond, it bothers me that there's stuff I'm not seeing.
Maybe if we could design retinal pigments that react to different frequencies than our own do, and then implant them into stem cells and let them grow in there.
>>7796020
>>7796020
this means that you would have to design enzymes that anabolize those new pigments and then introduce genes for those new enzymes into that stem cell, too. we are talking about up to hundred genes plus all their regulators sequences introduced in a way that does not switch off any important original shit
seems more or less impossible to me because designing those new synthethizer genes alone could take hundred years or so.
*forgot:
and it would be much easier to simply modify the already existing pigments with highly selective drugs, bound to aptamers or something

Punch those middle schoolers, OP. Punch 'em right in the balls.

>It's like no one has read about the topics they're studying.
people have other things to do, surprisingly.
why would you go to a course if you already know the material.
>>7797512
It's because you're studying a meme degree instead of a professional degree. That's the kind of quality classmates you can expect untill you get to grad-school.
neat.
>>7794872
It isn't temperature that causes cold, anon. It is only the desire to be warm.
This is popsci.
>>7794872
below your body's temperature you are always losing heat.

what do /sci/
i like my research (something to do with "room-T superconductors") but I'm just not the normie type here to figure out the secrets of the universe by just partying on friday's and smoking weed
read some self help books and convert to psychology

You need to find post-docs and 'senior' grad students in the group and talk to them.
Find someone who knows more than you do and who is willing to talk to you about the most recent literature on a daily basis.
Find someone who has published with your boss and ask them how they brought the project to completion.

Stop being weak. Swim, you goddamned faggot.
Hey do you guys know what the best radioactive material is to keep you warm while being as safe as possible?
Preferably from like 0 to 5 meters distance from the source of the heat decay. I'm in my 2nd year of applied physics at Uni and may get some access to certain useful elements
This is because I'm going camping in some shitcold country soon and I was just curious what could keep me warm in my tent
>>7799742
>what could keep me warm in my tent
Charcoal fire.
> I'm going camping in some shitcold country
And you expect to fly there with twenty pounds of refined uranium in carry on luggage?
I was just curious if any such radioactive isotope exists and could safely warm me
what's the academic pathway for studying nonlinear partial differential equations? they seem so amazing to me. i see them pop up where there have been massive contributions. i'm assuming you need to get into calculus, linear algebra, then multivariable calculus, ODE,PDE, and then you'd deal with this on the graduate level? is that the case?
You need nonlinear functional analysis for nonlinear PDEs.
>>7799539
i see. can one go into it after only studying functional/complex analysis? is this text noteworthy?
Is the weiner process a npde
Is it time to go to Mars or perhaps Titan? Or should we hold off until greater scientific advancement?
Also side question. Should space agencys attempt to collect antimatter in the van allen radiation belt?
Why would anyone waste time collecting useless antimatter
>>7799156
Why would anyone want to go to Titan? It's freezing balls in there.
>>7799270
antimatter can be used to create energy via annihilation
