What are the best resources for learning Python for someone who has no coding background. I can pick up abstract concepts fairly quickly, but because I lack a formal background, I'd like some kind of start-to-finish video, book, or notes collection.

I feel like science is a search for the meaning of life. Its about improving livelihood for everyone yes, but fundamentally, its about finding patterns in nature that makes sense. I feel like there is a strong probability that the phenomenon of math and science in general is a test that was put here for a reason. That its a game that wants to be completed. A game that people play to find meaning in existence. The fact there is a connection between scientific and mathematical phenomena is almost religious to me. It almost proves, for me atleast, there is something similar to a god that exists.

Context for this paper:
- so high quality, even as a paper destroying current dogma it passed peer review
- its published and passed peer review for the PNAS journal, which is one of the top journals
- It is from a large research group based at the top university of the world. MIT.
- It is from a large research group based at the top Molecular Biology & Genetics Institute at the top university of the world. Whitehead Institute.
- Senior author is the legend Rudolf Jaenisch. The guy who created the transgenic mouse and is one of the legacy Stem Cell scientists together with Shinya Yamanaka and John Gurdon.
- It's not some "end of career/throwaway" paper. The Jaenisch group has fought for years now to publish this and stand behind it strongly. It might be the career defining paper for Rudolf Jaenisch.


Now read it at awe and you will find great evidence that SARS-Cov-2 integrated into genomes. Everyone has reverse-transcriptases in their body (don't listen to your loser community college Prof who says you dont). They are natural part of retrotransposons which make up a bigger part of your genome than protein encoding genes! Your body can also produce telomerase which is a reverse transcriptase.

I ask myself:

- How about other RNA viruses like the flu? What makes SARS-Cov-2 so special biologically that it seems to integrated better than flu or other Corona viruses?
- What is the normal reverse-transcription background-activity you can expect in the body?

What is the difference between psychology and cognitive science?

Anyone who says art and science is a waste of money is just a stereotypical redneck no better than an afghan goat herder. We the jews (all of us) go to university except for those who go to religious seminary. All of us compete with each other to get better grades, more degrees and we dont do meme studies, we do STEM or law or medicine, just like the christian unitarians or the tiger mom colonies do.
You will stand at the sidewalk with the haitians and salvadoreans hoping for a day worth of labor at our mansions. Should have supported science!

modular forms, I kneel.

Talk about mathematics, last thread was >>13673161

This is just /b/ with science.

So lemme get this straight - physicists have spent the last FIFTY years "studying" a theory that everything is made out of tiny strings, but we have no evidence whatsoever that those strings actually exist in the first place? And nobody bothered to ask them what exactly are they doing with all that grant money?

The covariant basis is position differentiated with respect to the coordinates.
Change the coordinates a little bit and this tells you how the position will change.

The contravariant basis is the coordinates differentiated with respect to position.
Change position a little bit and this tells you how the coordinates will change.

Right?
