When will white people finally acknowledge the superiority of black female scientists? Fucking racists keep saying the Nazis developed our space program when it was clearly black women.

College/University Transfer

But specifically help me, please :)
I am a 4th semester math student at a shitty college and I want to transfer. My GPA is ~3.8, which is not fantastic, so I certainly can not get in anywhere I want. I got a 36 on the ACT but I am not sure if that matters transfering at the end of my sophomore year.
The state I live in does not have any good universities, so I need to apply to out of state schools.
Any recommended schools? Thoughts on small vs large universities? My current school is small and the class sizes are the one thing I like.

Why Quantum Mechanics?

In light of his own mortality and the realization that he already hit 40 recently, Scott wants to know

"Q: Why should the universe have been quantum-mechanical?

If you want, you can divide Q into two subquestions:

Q1: Why didn’t God just make the universe classical and be done with it? What would’ve been wrong with that choice?

Q2: Assuming classical physics wasn’t good enough for whatever reason, why this specific alternative? Why the complex-valued amplitudes? Why unitary transformations? Why the Born rule? Why the tensor product?"

As anticipated, a large discussion has been sparked commonly touching upon platonism in the form of possible world semantics and mathematical universe hypothesis. What does 4Chan think?
