/sci/ - Science & Math

>>6779095
>environmental science
>basically just surveying and population statistics

and at the end of the day it's still the biochemists/chemists/physicists doing the hard science and analysis

Just curious. This may be irrelevant.

Are there any Database Administrators that lurk here?

What is your degree? If any

How stressful and demanding is it?

Any advice for an aspiring DBA with basically no IT experience?

Something I that bugs me about the series: When HE travels back using the Time Leap Machine, his body would remain as if nothing had occurred, or possibly he died in that time-line. I wish they explored this.

Also something he hinted at was that; did it even matter if he went back to save Mayuri considering in some other time-line he would have already have done so and why not just live in the one he is currently. He has no moral obligation considering he DID go back in some sense.

But I guess was the message; Okabe didnt care for his own safety nor the repercussions upon his own sanity/self, his only concern was of the safety of Mayuri.

Also, schizoprenia thread.
Ask anything.

Just because of 4chan rules.
How much is the influence of schizophrenia in artist?

Sup /sci/. I need a function that is at its highest at f(1), and also output a sort of exponential f-values on both sides of 1, like the function f(x)=1/x at x=0, just that x needs to be 1 instead.

Any suggestions?

Can space itself move?

>>4971989
this actually sounds pretty accurate

Help me /sci don't know what to study for Batchelor: engineering or physics.
I rather want to do physics but I don't know if I can handle the math.
Friends told me the math is too hard but so far I did okay with it.

This, honestly. People are so brainwashed into thinking that "science is a waste of money, but spending billions on making missiles to blow up random people isn't" and so many are OFFENDED by the idea of scientific progress because it "infringes on their religious rights" that we will never progress, as a country. Ever again.

>120 billion dollars spent on Iraq War alone every year for 10 years
>Spend dozens of millions of dollars to build A SINGLE MISSILE which has no return value -- we literally are sending it to blow up
>Every US soldier gets literally TENS OF THOUSANDS of your tax dollars to equip him and feed him and educate him so he can go off and die from an IED as we invade some random persons country

>HURR DURR WE'RE WASTING MONEY BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE SPENDING TIME RESEARCHING SHIT THAT WILL ACTUALLY HELP US IN THE FUTURE

Hey guys, I need help with this c program. My compiler says there is an error before sum, and I can't figure out what it is. HAlp plz??

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{

/*Declare and initialize variables*/
int nerf1=473.91;
int nerf2=45.7;
int sum

sum=nerf1+nerf2

/*Print the sum*/
printf("The sum of %f and %f is %7.3f \n",nerf1,nerf2,sum);

/*Exit program*/
return 0;
}

Look, I know plenty of you are just going to dismiss me as a troll and whatnot -- but I have some science questions. I know jack shit about Science, and I'm really starting to doubt my Christianity. I know these types of threads are frowned upon, but this isn't me trying to troll or whatever -- this is me being genuinely curious and coming here asking for help.

There is shit that I don't know the other side to, and I'm really curious what your take on it is. Please try to keep this more or less in layman terms, as I really am ignorant of scientific stuff. Stuff like Global Warming existing and being a present threat, Evolution, creation of the Universe (something from nothing?), so on and so forth.

I'm not going to debate with you all, I just want to hear your take on it and your words so I can decide for myself, because I'm tired of hearing what is apparently completely misconstrued information from my Pastors.

Again, sorry mods if this is frowned upon.

How would you describe color to a blind person?

>there is no way to stop the death of the universe
>mfw scientific advancement and the quest for knowledge is like searching for the fountain of youth whilst having an irremovable timed bomb strapped to your chest

I'm sorry if this kind of thread is frowned upon, but this is the only place I can really think of.

I'm horrible with talking to Creationists guys. I mean, I read every single point on talkorigins. I watch countless documentaries, read books, etc. on science. I absolutely LOVE science. However, I can never debate a Creationist. I just don't fucking know why.

It's half because of what they say is the most inane shit in the world, and half because some of their claims are so ridiculously vague -- what the fuck do I even say to that kind of shit they spew.

I mean, I get the general shit out all the time. IE: How can there be shit 13.7 billion light years away if the Universe is 10,000 years old, etc. etc. But I mean, is there anything that is kind of common knowledge to just shut them up?

I'm not concerned about convincing them or whatever. I'm concerned in information that I can spew that, for the average, dumbass, bible thumping idiot who just mass quotes wikipedia articles titled "HOW TO DISPROVE EVOLUSHION" that will make them shut up and perhaps take some initiative to look into the matter personally.

Again, sorry for the thread if this type of thread is looked down upon, since I"m sure you get millions of trolls like this all the damn time from these sorts of discussions.

>Email lecturer regarding late submission of report
>He emails back at 3am

Seriously, what the fuck? He has a fucking 8am lecture and he's up this late.

What's with lecturers/professors and doing this?

I hope for your sake you're a troll.

You are strenuously moronic, friend.

0/10 op
it feels sad to see people actually fall for your trolling.

Ever heard of a stipend?
