hi /sci/ how can I bring my self to love and be passionate about science?
I am just doing it cause that’s the only thing I am good at. Seeing friends building projects or solving problems on their free time saddens because I know I can do such things if really put my self.
I blame my parents for my misery. They never cared about science they never pushed me to have hobbies, read Si-Fi books they only cared about grades and made me revise school materials countless times even if I don’t need to.
I am European btw

>>13356317 I think you are disappointed in yourself that you are not interested in the mainstream sciences, and that's okay anon. You don't need to force yourself to love science, but if you want to, you first need to appreciate it. Continue to study whatever STEM you are studying, and then eventually you may come to a point where you are encorporating mainstream sciences - a point which you will appreciate and perhaps love it.
This happened for me recently when studying calculus of variations. I didn't really appreciate the Newton's equations for motions until I derived them using the Euler-Lagrange equations and saw them in that context. Now I'm starting to really appreciate the application of mathematics in physics. I hope this helps eurobro

I have always thought not, but then I saw the brightest mind of our time say 'irregardless'.
Also I have very often seen people on /sci/ present solid arguments but use 'affect' when they mean 'effect' or vice-versa.
Am I a snob, am I pedantic, do I take my education for granted, or are there actually different kinds of intelligence?

>>13353992 It's more of a knowledge thing than an IQ thing, but the simple fact is that many people on /sci/, /lit/, and /pol/ who consider themselves educated are nothing more than pseuds. They expect people to gloss over their redneck-tier writing and marvel at their stellar minds, but it's just not happening.

>>13353992 I winced a little when I heard Lex say that. He almost never makes a mistake though so I gave it a pass. I could see myself possibly doing something similar if I were anxious and talking to someone 1-on-1. The real unforgivable thing is if someone puts it in writing.

Hey /sci/ will I make it in the IT and land a successful 6 figure code monkey job with this iq,I don't know if I'm smart enough to actually contribute something positive in that field . I'm also new to coding. Btw will I be able to be make it computer science or heck physics,mathematics by the off chance and be a successful researcher and land that dream come true tenured position or at the very least land a top job at an investment bank?

Axiom of choice doesn't seem to make sense when talking about dense ordered sets, yet it is used as a justification for many statements in branches that range from measure theory to abstract algebra. Is there any substitute for Zorn's lemma or any other variant that doesn't require outlandish assumptions?

The Maestro: What force is the bird harnessing to enable it to fly so? Surely birds, incapable of intelligence communication, do not possess magical powers that we do not! A physical law of nature must enable flight generally, and not only for birds. If we could only reproduce a bird's wings and the exact conditions that enable their flight, we could fly as well!

>>13345838 >>13345795 >basically impossible to track with traditional dishes This is incorrect. Traditional, parabolic dishes are what SpaceX uses for uplink and high quality downlink. They do need to be aimed and track the satellites in real time. The issue is you need two of them because they have to physically move to jump from one satellite to another which may take a second to two. If you had only one your internet would go down every few minutes for a couple seconds. These auto aiming parabolic dishes are commercially available but they aren't exactly cheap.
Phased arrays can switch from one satellite to another within milliseconds, actually with proper signal processing they can connect tot multiple satellites simultaneously. But the issues is they need hundreds of transmitters and receivers, which is costly. But it hasn't really been done at consumer scale before so there is room for specialized silicon to lower prices.

You’ve got a virgin universe, complete with all fields, but no matter at all except for one star and a clock that is running on the star’s surface. Of course that means that nowhere in your universe is space a flat, perfect, cubic coordinate system because the star is bending it somewhat, everywhere. Even very very far away from the star space is still curved by the star’s mass even though the distortion is so slight that only God can see it.
At time t=0, you will a planet into existence a distance d away from the star. It’s literal new mass in the universe that wasn’t there before, and you poofed it into existence. Due to gravity, that planet will be attracted to the star and they’ll move toward each other.
Question is: What time does the clock on the star’s surface read upon the very instant at which the planet begins to move?
