if some of the greatest scientists of all time (Tesla, Newton, Ramanujan, Poincare, Maxwell) would be born today, would they use or lurk 4chan? Would they create/invent something similiar and revolutionalize modern world with new ideas and concepts (while also taking advantage of newer tech) or they would be rotting their ass on social media, jerking off to porn and doomscrolling all day?
Someone post post the image
>>16548651Yes, tis I, Poincare in the digital.
>>16548651Maybe. They could have been more satisfied with the answers they could get from our modern understanding of how things work and have completely different scientific interests. These were typically very curious people who wanted to know PERSONALLY how things worked and didn't necessarily trust what other people would tell them in their pursuit. Newton could have ended up working on something with lithography for all we know (he found light interesting) and the best idea he is ever gonna contribute is packaged for next quarter. Tesla maybe could have studied fusion or alternate forms of energy that could be used, he liked the idea of giving people access to power. It always starts with what they find interesting.There are still amazing things we do not know yet that are simply waiting for someone to discover. Eureka often comes after "That's interesting. I want to understand more for myself how THAT works." That part would still be with them if you moved them outside of time. Tesla would likely still become a targeted individual because the Trumps are still around and they would have more or less kept him in a cage because of this old tradition they have of torturing people with deep visualization skills.
>>16548653still whiter than you, nigger
>>16548651>if some of the greatest scientists of all time would be born today, would they use or lurk 4chan?Yes, I do.
If you were able to customize your intelligence while you were being conceived, which intelligence would you have invested into and why?
>>16550197Funnily enough Israel is one of only a few countries in the world where the top performers in reading are guys and not girls.
What's the point of measuring intelligence along scales if we could each determine what values those factors have before birth?

>>16554059It's not a mistake, the argument Weinberg mentions involves changing the momentum vector. We are already done with the little group at this point. The little group was used to get equation (2.5.42) which tells how a given vector transforms under *arbitrary* Lorentz matrices \Lambda. Up to this point it looks like \sigma could be an arbitrary real number. Up to this point I hope we agree.Now Weinberg mentions an argument for why it is half integer. He doesn't really go into detail on the top of page 90, but you have to read between the lines. Before page 90 he had section 2.7 on projective representations, and that is what this is really what this is about.Do a rotation by 4\pi with J_3. This is equal to the identity within the Poincare group, but if \sigma is not half integer (2.5.42) tells you there is some overall phase left over after rotating 4\pi. But that is still okay, maybe we can either redefine things to eliminate the phase, or maybe we are dealing with an intrinsically projective representation. But Weinberg's Appendix B deals with intrinsically projective representations and the claim is that if the group is simply connected (and there are no central charges) then you can redefine things to get rid of the phase. SO(3) is not simply connected (which is why a 2\pi rotation can introduce a phase for fermions) but SU(2) is, and since we are looking at a 4\pi rotation it is fair to look at the covering group.If you still don't get it or think something is wrong after that, I give up.
>>16554131>you have to read between the linesI wanted to make a detailed response, but then I noticed this phrase. Nah, I’m not going to read between the lines. What a Jewish thing to say. Either make your point clear or fuck off, Moshe.
>>16554143I made my point in the paragraph below. An attitude like that where you always think you are the smartest person in the room is why you won't be able to progress in either math or physics. Remember this is an "introduction" to QFT, You should feel embarassed getting stuck on some little issue and throwing the whole thing away.
>>16554150Yeah, don't care. I don't take anyone who says>actually bro that's not what he said. He actually said something else. You have to read between the lines.seriously. Doesn't matter if it's an introductory textbook or a paper only 3 people in the world can understand.
>>16552431You're talking to an H1B who worships Einstein--reading comprehension isn't their strong point.
Why are mathematicians such lousy and bad thinkers when it comes to foundations?
>>16552332>logic is applied philosophy.Lol
>>16553580NTA but the set {A, B} corresponds to the predicate A or B, not A and B. And the empty set corresponds to a predicate that is never satisfied.
>>16553806Ah, so OR is the union and AND is the intersection. Makes sense desu.
>>16552396>No, logic is one of the three backbones of philosophy. The other two being pathos and ethos. Philosophy is about debating.That's like saying math is about pressing buttons on a calculator.The whole Ethos/Pathos/Logos is just Aristoles' take on 3 modes of persuasions he thinks there is; it's got absolutely nothing to do with the fundmentals of philosophy just like a brand of calculators has got nothing to do with fundementals of mathematics.Logics is applied philosophy, specifically a branch of epistemology. Since this branch of is at the root of modern science, the non-initiated thinks that is all there is.Pro-tip: it aren't all there is. The other ones would be disregarded as /x/ on this board but they are nonetheless part of the catalogue.
>had a thought? >that was philosophy right there, you were totally just philosophizing Wow, what a great and eloquent use of language. Thinking about how the corn nuts in my shit scratched by asshole just right is really just a natural part of philosophy.Pro-tip: you only claim the things you think are important without actually understanding any of those things yourself

Not on the new data for sure.If you knew it can explode, wouldn't you fix it before launch?There's no way they are actually stress testing the components if it keeps exploding like it's the first flight.The thing must have serious quality issues that can't be fixed without making it too expensive or too heavy.

Is it actually possible to hypnotize someone to act like a chicken? I've read some stories about it, and there are a bunch of videos on YouTube, but they seem scripted and fake. Would the hypnosis work if someone already wanted to act like a chicken deep down or had taken drugs beforehand?https://www.reddit.com/r/hypnosis/comments/tqxmlv/just_got_hypnotized_to_act_like_a_chicken/https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/p2o45n/aita_for_hypnotizing_my_friend_to_believe_hes_a/https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=x4C_uJ1f8_Y https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=17mNU3lHFUI There's this comment under this youtube video>My wife had this done right after her talking soo much shiiiig to a woman hypnotist. But they made her lay eggs sbd it seriously hurt her only part where I lost it. But I love the chicken thing esp how they slowly become one

>>16553796Can one be hypnotized if they believe that people can be hypnotized conditionally on believing they can be hypnotized?
Science is settled, chud.

>>16553363Sure, psychology can ad hom some new name to call you for being retarded enough to claim that psychology follows all the steps of the scientific method while simultaneously pointing out the steps of the scientific method that get skipped, but retard works perfectly fine.
>>16553309>>16553380>Weigh apple>Weigh apple exactly the same way the next day>The apple's weight has changed>You're_doing_it_wrong.jpgIf you consider replicability only as failure of the method than no real science exists.
>>16553409There's very few things that can make your strawman true, none of which would happen in a lab setting.
>>16553409That is not how the reproducibility crisis works, though. Its more like they assign a bunch of properties to apple and assign a bunch of properties to oranges, but each different person that looks at the same piece of fruit sees a bunch of mixtures of properties of both apples and oranges that they can't possibly distinguish and nobody can agree which fruits are apples and which are oranges.
>>16548631Well yeah it’s the studying of the mind, psych“ology”. Fields like neuroscience can derive important information to test from the information collected by psychologist? This is how it works no?

I was thinking about how everybody, who wants an diploma/Bachelor/Master/PhD, needs to come up with some new problem and solve it. I wouldn't know, but I feel like I were to do something like that, I would have great difficulties finding a problem suitable for me and even more so solving it? Either those people's brains operate at some incomprehensible level different to mine or they just solve bs problems, that don't bring anyone anything beneficial. It's probably both, but with a strong tendency to the the former. So, how does it work, /sci/?
Most people entering the field don't make up a project themselves, their supervisor comes up with the idea and manages the project. Some programs require students to propose projects, but I think that's a bit sadistic. You basically have to propose something close to what people in a department work on. The theme of that research tends to shape an academics future work, as the most natural questions to work on are those following from your work and those in the topic you have become familiar with. Having truly novel ideas is the main thing that holds a lot of postdocs back from being great, not everyone is very creative in that way. It's really not easy. Most papers that are published today are not not really on new problems, but even then you need to know what is something interesting you can work on. Some very clever people do change topics radically, but usually there is some common techniques or skills.
>>16548468Why do you assume the problem has to be new?
is it reasonable to take the existence of life and work backwards to say "it's surprising that all these factors worked out to allow life to happen"?it's like saying that a hill was fine tuned to enable a ball to roll down it.regardless of what physical laws ended up being, it seems reasonable to assume that if life is capable of emerging from them, then it would. is it even an interesting question to ask? shit is the way it is because of the way the universe is. a creature without a nose doesn't ask about the smell of a rose. we only know of one way that life works. and it's within the rules laid out by the one universe we observe, by necessity.how can we say that if the properties of the universe were different that some other form of life wouldn't emerge instead? or any other manner of shit that isn't possible here but might be possible there?
>>16550787>more total eclipses don't count as total eclipses because they block too much of the sunYou're retarded.

>>16551081a total eclipse includes the "totality" phase. do you want to continue pretending(?) to be retarded?
>>16524226No, consciousness proves that the entire universe is not fine tuned and there is still enough inherent contradiction in existing that individuals need individual thought and self-doubt.

>>16549059In California they do as long as they're state residents. You don't have to be in the country legally to be a state resident.
>>16550089so anyone who pays out of state tuition is a massive cuck since anyone can just claim they're an undocumented california resident
>>16553197California loves people who are in the US illegally but they have pretty strict requirements for proving you're a state resident. You need at least a year's worth of proof that you reside in the state and engage in economic activity there (if you're an adult) or attended a California high school for at least a year. Receiving social benefits is one way of proving economic activity but having a lease, a year of utility bills, and several other indicators can be used to build a case for yourself.
