Finding Spirituality in Science and the Natural World

No.14121159 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Ok, long story short: we all know science and the exploration and continual discovery of the inner workings of the natural world has over the last few centuries become more and more soulless. This is just wrong, a slap in the face of the spirit that imbued the men who throughout time have tried to find out "how it works".

So, let's talk about finding spirituality, or at the very least, a sense of the spirit of science and discovery.

These songs were seminal in my own construction of my own sense of spirituality and newfound sense of serenity, bliss, and acceptance of the natural world around me, and even the manmade parts sometimes:

This video isn;t bad either: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uD4izuDMUQA

So, how do you find spirituality in the sciences?

Hello /sci/ - Science & Math,
What even is this thing?
What is cognition?
How is abstract thought that is entirely separate from sensory input even possible?
Thank you

How legitimate are degrees held by powerful people?

No.14122286 ViewReplyOriginalReport
You may know how Elena "Codoi" Ceausescu used her political power to get a PhD in chemistry despite her abysmal intelligence. How many other such cases are there? How often do universities cave in to pressure and give unearned degrees to failsons of the rich and powerful?

What is the kinietic energy of a quark in a proton or neutron?

No.14126004 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Title says it all. In the same vain that an electron has a kinetic energy when bound to the proton, what is the kinetic energy of a quark bound to the other two quarks?

Literally cant find anything on this anywhere. Experimentally we can find the electron kinetic energy by shooting photons at hydrogen until at 13.6 eV its freed from the proton. is there a similar experiment for quarks? (I'm guessing you would be shooting electrons instead).

Freedom

My dudes we all know that the goverment is taking our freedom and we have to do something about it.

(Pic is just there because it has to be there)

(This video shows how a selected few control the world and their plans with the world)

I think that we have to use brute-force and end this as soon as possible. Our freedom is being taken from us in front of our noses and what are we doing?!?!

Now if you ask me how to do it, i don't know. Probably make revolutions like the ones in 1848 and try making a difference.

I do think that russia is against this american bullshit so they could suply our aid.

Ig you have any other ideas to suggest feel free. I haven't thought this through i just wrote the first thing that came to my mind.

How important was your high school maths teacher for your understanding of maths? Would you have become a polymath even if your teacher was really bad and taught you wrong stuff or in didnt deliver the stuff in the right way? Would a bad teacher ruin the pupils' understanding of maths?
