To use MathJaX, put your TeX code between [ math ] ... [ /math ] tags for inline equations or [ eqn ] ... [ /eqn ] tags for block equations.

[eqn]\zeta(s) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n^s} = \frac{1}{\Gamma(s)}\int_0^{\infty} \frac{x^{s - 1}}{e^x - 1} \mathrm dx[/eqn]

Note: You may preview the output by clicking the TeX button at the top left corner in the quick reply window.

Additional supported file type on /sci/ is PDF.

It's honestly funny, how it's impossible to tell if this is supposed to be parody, or people posting here would genuinely be so stupid.
I'd think it's a joke, but I remember seeing a video that I thought was really funny in the way it made fun of flat earthers, I think I even saved it. Only to find out years later that the guy was actually serious.

From what I've seen /sci/ has been a lost cause since 2020. At least that was when I left the board for a while to come back occasionally and be shocked by the sheer drop in quality. I remember /sci/ humor threads that were just straight up /pol/ shit, not even tangentially related to math. Shit is fucked

I'll tell you a little secret. I used to think the moon landing was faked until I did what you clowns keep raving on about: I did my own research. And it's honestly baffling how much supporting evidence there is.
To be fair, I was still a teenager, so it's easier to be convinced it's fake, but believing it as an adult is just embarrassing

Rocket tech is matured, there is no need to do it. Always was a carrot stick for talents to work on death bringing weapons. White mans were needed for research and wars, so the propaganda styled the tough guy. Now it's changed to DEI promotion where a multi-culty crew is shipped around the moon doing tourist pics out of the window while rockets can be ordered at Temu.

Engineering, or corporate research. Science is rewording for academic nespotic fraud and licking the a** of power while earning gibbs for that kowtow. If there is some invention they usually steal it by rewording it into "papers" and pass it off as their own invention.

What does it have to do with being pro- or anti-social? If anything, the most scientifically minded also seem to be the most anti-social.

The western world has been falling ever since this new "science" took over. A bit over a century later, and the only result has been the progressive bullshittification of society that is called progress.

Well, it lifts up in the atmosphere because helium is lighter than the other gasses on Earth
But thats not the same as literally weighing less, in fact the filled pressure vessel is now experiencing a greater downward force due to gravity, its just completely counteracted by buoyancy.

Buoyancy depends on the fluid the object is inside of. If there were a pure hydrogen atmosphere, adding helium to a container would make it sink.

I have been looking into how I can use my Masters Chemistry degree to break into patent law and one requirement has gotten me really salty. Do law firms seriously consider a PhD in science equal to a Bachelors in Engineering? How the fuck can they think an advanced degree that takes 8+ years and backbreaking work to be equal to a 4 year degree that even the most braindead zoomers can complete. What the fuck!
>>
>>17018373
>advanced degree that takes 8+ years
Where the fuck do you live where a PhD takes 8+ years? That's beyond insane. It only takes 4 years here.
>>
>>17018379
I meant it's the combined total of schooling in order to acquire the PhD (4 years undergrad + 4 years grad)

I have never ever heard that. Around here the minimum requirement is a Master's degree and a PhD is quite common.

It is possible to create misleading proofs with lean, so we would still need someone trustworthy to verify the proof. I remember reading a philosophical argument, years ago (before LLMs were a topic of discussion), that if a proof cannot be understood by our top mathematicians, it may as well not exist. This is because the point of proof is to convince us that something is a fact. If a proof of the Riemann hypothesis could be developed by LLMs, but no human could understand it, then to accept it as a proof would be to accept the conjecture because "it seems right." If you can't understand a proof, you can only make a guess as to how true it "feels," which undermines the purpose of proving something to begin with. Idk it was expressed more eloquently than what I'm saying.

>>17017581
The "perhaps" was rhetorical.

You said put a bat in a room that absorbs sound. OK. But if the room is light, the bat will be fucking fine. I admit I'm inferring that you think bats are blind. But if don't think this, what was your fucking point?

Apparently it's a myth that bats can see. The Egyptian fruit bat can see relatively well, and even then still only uses its distance vision, and relies on echolocation close by. In fact the majority of mammals are almost blind compared to us. Our other senses are fairly typical, our hearing has a limited range, but great precision, it's that our eyesight is out of this world, so it overshadows the other senses.
