At my uni there are 24 physics/astrophysics majors at my level (incoming junior this fall).

Approx 17 are astro (the track is shorter and frankly easier).

Of those 17, 3 are gay as AIDS. (not just by my gaydar detector they are full out of the closet and one is married to a dude.

Thus ~20% of astrofags are gay.

Proof is in the pudding.

I was so close to changing from Physics to something else at my school.

Everyone in the major is "le blackholes amirite" and "duuuuuudeeeeee quantum hahahahaha!"

I bet love them 'finding' proof in your 'pudding', anon.

shit dude are you me? I fucking hate them to be honest. I don't believe anything until it is proven to me and their black hole shit is so fucking lame. The last part of my modern physics class last semester was cosmic shit and early universe and of course they were all 'experts'.

It is all bullshit. Cosmic inflation my ass. Just admit we don't know.

500 years ago every single one of them would have been jumping up and down proclaiming the earth to be flat.

Keep looking at the stars anon. Pretend like that shit you preach won't be proven false every ten years.

Astro is definitely becoming one of the more inclusive fields in the sciences. Lots of sjw types making their way in too.

If you want to be taken seriously, don't give away the fact that you're not even into the difficult part of your major yet.
>500 years ago every single one of them would have been jumping up and down proclaiming the earth to be flat
You have a very poor knowledge of history.

>>8179709
17/24 are Astro? That's sad. I bet most of them joined because they "like space and stuff." That's how my undergrad was. Luckily my class generated something more useful than a bunch of astronomers. Computational biophysics, condensed matter experiment/computation, plasma experiement, high energy, etc. People who start as astro seem to have a higher rate of dropping out than those who don't.

Is this seriously how you view more pure style maths? That makes me sad. I'm a grad student studying integrable systems, and doing my thesis on sympletic geometry and how it related to integrable hamiltonian systems. It's mindblowing how all this heavy duty maths machinery allows people to succinctly solve really complicated systems or at least generate a sort of algorithm that can.

fgt pls, they were developed (or else
observed) from principles, Lrn2math

What questions came into the mathematician's head in the first place to find those rules?

You've raised an interesting point. How quickly does the based mathematician's salary increase?

300k bonus every year.

By the 3rd year you're making almost a million a year ANY JOB YOU WANT

Name one physical model that can actually make experimental predictions that must use geometric quantization.

Mathematics is not a "bunch of rules",
it is a way of thinking.

Funny you say that, at my university there was some controversy about some people in the astrophysics department using women quotas, despite the fact that it was against the law.
