>>14289575 Yes, if it's unreadable or ambiguous, just send it back to the journal with a note saying so. If you can evaluate the scientific merit, do a quick review of that and again send it back. If it's just like bad grammar, do a full review but mention that they need to get it looked at. The journal isn't going to fix their English, they're going to make them send it to a service that will fix it

We had 2-3 weeks for writing labs and it had to be like a full paper with an abstract, intro, theory, equipment, method, results, discussion, conclusion, etc. You could also get extra marks for adding extra calculations or doing FEA. I always simulated my labs (if possible) for an extra data set and added that into the discussion.

every time something new is discovered, pedagogs need to work with the field professionals (like mathematicians) to compress the new knowlegde and pass it upon the next generation.
but subjects can only be compressed to a point, there is a bare minimum it can be simplified to, and maybe that simplification would slow down further discoveries due to lack of profound knowledge in pre-requsites
but let's say that isn't the case and discoveries aren't slow down, at which point does the accumulation of knowledge becomes so large that a human being would need to devote his lief just to be able to research it?

imagine, we release it, and then everyone becomes white

do you guys think theres an overuse of mathematics in enconomics?

Yeah, it's really just graphs... so is everything. Graph theory is the best. God I love graphs.

Depends on the field. It's generally well-motivated in macro but econometrics and theoretical micro sometimes turn into dick-measuring contests.

>>14294414 No. Because it's really hard to actually do experiments so existing data has to be used to run quasi experiments using existing datasets. This needs a lot of mathematical power to determine causality and get decent confidence bounds.

Quoted By:
>>14294414 Yes, as likely the most knowledgeable finance bro around /sci/, econ should be looked at as almost entirely a social science. Math is great for generalization, but used maliciously to support false narratives within econ, even to the point that I believe many modern interpretations of econ theory are based on cherry-picked data.

Look at this diagram, why make the supposedly physical particle which is responsible for the electrical phenomenon NEGATIVE and lack thereof (aka HOLES) POSITIVE. Don't bullshit me with "tHeY dId'T kNoW yEt". They fucking knew but kept it hidden. It's clearly and obviously either a freudian slip or the grays are being brazenly open about how it's mini black holes, not this fairytale electron concept, that power our electronics. Why would they lie about this you may ask? Injecting some of the old poison into human knowledge, that's why. To basically keep us from unifying all the forces' in theory, and therefore keeping us from developing technology to escape the EARTH PRISON!!!

I fully subscribe to the notion that electrons are just naked singularities, i.e. white holes

>>14294819 maybe all discrete black holes eventually wormhole to a unified white hole that is the electromagnetic field

>>14294798 desu I could believe that magnetism is actually gravity if anyone could properly explain why magnets only work on very specific materials.
As it stands though it really does seem like there is a unified electromagnetic field. The electric field is distinctly separate from gravity given the fact that light exists the way it does in a frequency driven continuum.

>>14294842 is it possible gravity only exists at frequencies outside that our technology can observe

Quoted By:
>>14294852 yeah no, we can oscillate physical things and see they don't create radio waves or magnetism or anything of the such
Gravity certainly could be a carrier field for all of the other fields, maybe if there was some way to interact with the higgs field we could even verify that idea. But as it stands something else has to be making it into EMR, or like its all just arbitrary. I don't believe it but I suppose it could all just be twisted up balls of space time, but nothing seems to untwist even when directly transmuted or stimulated in any way.

How do I cure my autism (I legitimately have it)? It's giving me very bad, chronic constipation. I need a medicine cocktail for it.
I don't want to be like this till the day I die, /sci/.

I'm already taking the medications I should be taking, I've taken supplements, I've taken fiber, I'm trying to eat more healthily, I've been trying to get out more. There is nothing I can do more than, relax, I guess.

Parents suck at raising their children, feed them trash all time, then blame "autism" when the children can't poop anymore? Or is it fancy salesmen who convince low IQ people that spending some shekels for their overpriced 'therapies' will solve the problems?

Is healthcare informatics a good field? Thanks to my unrelated credits, it would only take me two years to complete a BAS in healthcare informatics. Should I go for the BAS or spend another four years pursuing an entirely different degree?

When irradiation happens extremely fast (more than 40Gy/s) human cells suffer relatively minor damage, while cancer cells suffer the full damage.
This is potentially revolutionary and the mechanism isn't very clear right now, probably due to contrast in oxygen level in healthy/cancerous cells.
So wtf can we just shoot ultra high dose rate pulses at everyone annually and improve public health massively or something?
