Being the middleground sure makes you stupid.

Either you go full practical into engineering or you go full abstract into pure mathematics. Middle grounds are for retards like you who think anyone cares about their retarded little theories about big objects.

explain to a normie why the internal combustion engine has so much going for it, there must be a false equivalency here.

Computer technology has gotten a lot better, but also a lot cheaper. Alternative energy technology is still very expensive and therefore not practical.

You keep spamming this thread fuck off.

Progress in computer technology and engine technology is not that different, in both cases the basic functioning principles have remained the same but newer technologies made the products cheaper and more efficient (also smaller in the case of computers). Today's car engines are quite different from the first internal combustion engines.
Also, we realised that progress in electronics can make car engines more efficient (there's a reason why every car nowadays has an on-board computer) while the reverse is not true and our current engines are "good enough" for what they must do (i.e. the advantages of researching and building a better engine are not enough to justify the expenses), so it only makes sense that there is much more research going on in one field rather than the other.

Does ADHD exist or is it jut a meme disease for lazy people?

Why don't you read the scientific literature and decide for yourself instead of asking for a Siberian Whittling BBS to spoonfeed you?
>>
It's a real psychosomatic issue, but has been normalized for pharmaceutics to make a profit and for shitty parents to deal with their kids jumping around the house, playing like a normal healthy child should do.
>>
My question: is ADHD a mental illness, as something in psyche, or is it physical disfunctioning of the brain? Or is it chemical disfunctioning of the brain?

Two questions for scientists:

How does something exist rather than nothing?

How is the world the way it is?

Nothing still exists.

It may exist as an arbitr

>How does something exist rather than nothing?

Something exists rather than nothing because if nothing existed you wouldn't be here asking why something exists rather than nothing

Have you ever considered independent learning?
Or is that too much for you?

I self taught trig if that means anything

>>7739593
if you are actually intelligent, med school isnt for you

it is a huge fucking grind, massive pain in the ass, intern time is spent constantly pulling 30+ hour shifts with no down time, be shit on, be peoples bitches, for years, and then you end up with a mediun pay of about 80k unless you are really fucking good and have a good specialization

there are so many better things you can do with your life

Sup /sci/, I didn't do as well as I'd hoped this semester, so I was wondering if you guys had any studying tips, or tips to get better at learning material? Should I just sit down and cram, or take some adderall or what?

How do you go about doing well in your classes?

Good grades only come with people of high IQ. I have an SAT score of 2400 without any studying, a near eidactic memory. Phone numbers, postal codes, addresses, you name it, i can glimpse and commit to memory.

Why does /sci/ have to be so cancerous sometimes?

Sometimes cramming is your only option. I see nothing wrong with this. I can do the equivalent of a full semester in about 2 weeks if I work 9-5. Bit always study smart. Learn definition do paper, repeat

Stumbled upon a picture from May with myself, little brother, cousin, and grandmother and thought to myself "at some point in the not so distant future, I will look back at this picture and go "wow, those were the days"

This makes me really sad. Am I the only crazy person who has these thought, or do other people feel the same as well? Pic unrelated

I don't tend to think about the future in present tense much, when it comes to my own connections with some sort of context or group.

Do you think is ok to make an student of EE in a test to get the transfer function of a filter like pic related ?
In my opinion it would be nicer to ask him to a more general procudure of "how to get the transfer function", I think algebra skills are not for everyone.

What do you think about?

Algebra skills are necessary for engineers.

Cancer means unlimited growth, right? Cancer cells just keep multiplying.

So what if I used brain cells as cancer cells? Could I become infinitely smart by getting brain cancer and cutting a hole into my skull, so that my brain can grow out of my head? How many IQ points could I gain by growing a cancer superbrain?

Seriously guys, why has nobody thought of this before?

It's not at all supported by the fossil record. The most water that any recent ancestor of ours was exposed to was due to fishing or being in the rain or whatever... but that's not at all the same thing.
