How to into Logic?

>>16178568
So listen to everything he says. Got it.

Learn how to write basic proofs. Then pick up

>Introduction to Mathematical Logic (Hodel)
>Model Theory (Chang/Keisler)
>Proof Theory (Gaisi)
>Introductory Set Theory (Levy) or Set Theory (Jech).

All cheap dover books and good. Obviously start with learn propositional logic, first order and then maybe second and higher order. Learn some basic proof, model, and set theory. Maybe learn alternative foundations and perspectivevs like typed/untyped lambda calculus, category theory, general type theory and homotopy type theory. Also helps to learn some programming for computational shenanigans, learn Haskell or Scheme and implement stuff. Learn Coq or Agda, or Lean.

Shouldn't gases with only three translational degrees of freedom have a higher diffusion coefficient than a gas with additional rotational and vibrational degrees of freedoms, because they don't have to distribute their thermal energy towards these rotational and vibrational degrees of freedoms, which don't contribute to the diffusion coefficient?

I'm in germany and I pay 100 euros every semester. So around 700€ for a bachelor all in all, while working on the side making 1500€.

I recommend not living in the united states. Also STEM was the best decision of my life. I finished an apprenticeship in trade before (electrician). Which would end, in me working my whole life for 3300 bucks. (50% tax in germany, so around 1800 after tax).

With my engineering degree and the position I'll aquire in my company, I can make around 8000 euros, around 4500 something after tax. So dunno what these people are on about.

If you are in a field of demand, like STEM, medicine, Law, it's a pretty safe way to a good life.

Short version - As much as we all get irked by popsci faggots, the bottom line is that 99% of the human race don't get their cocks out (or their checkbooks) for binary light curve measurements or Langmuir probe sweeps or particle pair correlation plots like scientists do.

Non-scientists have to be persuaded that all this science shit that they don't understand well enough to see how it impacts their daily lives is still worth taking a big bite out of their paycheck to fund, and popsci faggots do that by (for lack of a nicer way of saying it) trying to dumb down the material in a way that doesn't come off as patronizing to laypersons.

Where it becomes a problem is when the popsci faggots think their ability to translate research for laypersons makes them equivalent to actual researchers or puts them in some kind of special position to dictate what government policy on research should be. NDT is particularly bad about this, and buys into his own PR too much.

>>
>>16180002
Oil is extracted from rock at depths below 5km by various gases and fluids which in a supercritical state at the depth, it works the same way supercritical solvent extraction does in laboratories, the solvent releases its extract ones the pressure on the solvent becomes low enough that it can no longer maintain the supercritical state.

>>16137023
>Why do scientists brazenly maintain this antiquated model of Earth's core?
The two articles you listed don't contradict the model...
Yes, for many kilometers below the earth's surface there are micro-organisms living in rocks in very low concentrations. Also there is a tiny amount of water in almost all rocks.
There are even pockets of super-pressurized water, air etc.
No it isn't literally an inverted ocean and amazon forest inside the Earth you dumb fuck.

Low concentrations of life deep in the Earth can easily exceed that at the surface because you're comparing huge amounts of volume with just the two dimensional surface of the Earth.

This is the same reason for why the most common fish in the ocean is a deep-sea bioluminescent fish.
Although there is a far greater concentration of fish at the sea's surface a large volume of deep sea low concentration easily out-numbers it.
The fish are the Cyclothones.

Looks like the OP's in /sci/ are just as stupid as the OP's in any other board.

"replication crisis" was always a polite, politically correct euphemism for outright fraud. the people who came up with it were doubtlessly part of the people committing fraud, if they were honest scientists then they would've been outraged at those committing the frauds and would have used a more accusatory descriptive term.
instead fraudulent scientists get the dindu treatment and they try to act like the massive amount fraud is all just a big accident rather than wholesale dishonesty

This is not a fair labeling to be cast on the individual papers. There are factors beside fraud for why replication may not be possible. The charge is credibly levied at the institution as a fraud, churning out people producing useless work. Useless because it is either so irrelevant that it isn't worth replicating - why do these experiments? - or the work itself is so confounded, complex and difficult that it can't be replicated - why do these experiments? - or the work is outright fabricated.
Publish or perish answers all of these questions and it is outright fleecing of research grants and funds. Link your topic to current thing and receive your payment.

Climate change is real, you're just too pussy and scared to admit it because accepting climate change means democracy is a farce, 'peacetime' is evil, and that billions must die. You're no different from the liberals who think they can save the world by insane self-sacrifice (eating the bugs and living in a pod) instead of attacking and eliminating cultures that do not meet climate goals. You're just a coward.

The great men of the early 1900s would have acted differently and fought the problem with passion, even if it meant being the bad guy. The west has fallen. We were meant to be the praetorians of mother nature, and instead we chose plastic slop and oil (the devil's cum) instead of based nuclear energy and wood, steel, and glass (god's natural gifts to the world0.

Mechanics. I had a hard time with the mathematics in my intro courses, a lot of the time it felt like the shit we were introducing was just needlessly complicating things, or coming out of nowhere.

Mechanics was the point where it suddenly all clicked that we jump through all these hoops of redefining coordinates, or reformatting problems to take a particular form, and so on is just because it turns otherwise unsolvable (or at least annoying to solve) problems and turns them into solvable (or at least slightly *less* annoying to solve) problems.

Have you ever done any digital controls stuff? If you have them you should be able to implement PID controls pretty easily via for loops in pretty much any programming language.

One of the cooler projects I did for undergrad was using a PID controller for simulated automatic insulin delivery with a continuous glucose monitor. There's already been papers on this topic so it certainly wasn't original research or anything but it was cool to figure out.

There's tons of little things like that you can do with control theory.

Why are midwits so obsessed with the idea of nuclear energy when renewables have easily eclipsed them in nearly every way possible over a decade ago? Is it just the "i hecking LOVE science... stupid greenpeace hippies don't understand how safe nuclear is..." identity factor? Imagine spending over a decade to build a nuclear plant that costs 15x more than the equivalent amount of solar panels and battery capacity added together. There's a reason why neither China or the US does that at any real scale anymore.

Then when you point this out it's all "molten thorium small scale nuclear fusion reactors are just around the corner, just wait, they just need more funding," when you could just be developing solar and wind farms instead.

That would be a good job for AI: picking apart old panels. It is not unheard of for a new technology (e.g., oil refining) to be very wasteful (e.g., unwanted fractions ending up in rivers) until the necessary adjuct tech is developed (e.g., cracking towers).
