>The Nobel Prize in Physics 2021 was awarded "for groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of complex systems" with one half jointly to Syukuro Manabe and Klaus Hasselmann "for the physical modelling of Earth's climate, quantifying variability and reliably predicting global warming" and the other half to Giorgio Parisi "for the discovery of the interplay of disorder and fluctuations in physical systems from atomic to planetary scales."

Does this mean we do have reliably accurate climate models and predictions and climate change is proven to be man-made?

Is the Magnetic Field caused by a current carrying wire the result of length contraction of particles in that wire? Here is a pop-sci video which claims this.

Like learning how to build robots or something like that. Also things that don't require high school mathematics. Would like book recommendations.

Efficient counting: +2+2/ +2+3

No.13737312 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Scientifically speaking, which way is more practical for counting numerous objects, for example you might want to count the number of potatoes inside a bag. Would it be more efficient to count 2, 4, 6... or 2, 5, 7, 10....
Is the additional mental strain in order to group objects in alternative number of groups worth the speed at which one can count?

Beginning Mathematics

No.13726039 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Hello /sci/

I believe this is the first time I've ever posted on this board. I've studied philosophy and history intensely for years, but I'm aware that my mathematical knowledge stops at an english gsce level, and I'm extremely rusty.

From what I've read of the pythagoreans, I increasingly think this is a severe deficiency. I cannot really comprehend the reality of the universe without a grounding in mathematics. I despise the seperation between the humanities and science increasingly. I'm ashamed that it's led me to a vast knowledge in one sole area, and nothing for all the rest, except a paltry knowledge of biology via psychology.

My request is a simple one - how should I begin to truly sudy mathematics? Any and all recommendations would be deeply appreciated.
