I know science guys but just the concepts not the math part lol !

>mfw I just started University level Mathematics last year and the professor actually said "Now, this technically isn't 'correct' when taking into consideration mathematical axioms but for the purposes of solving this problem we're going to have to forget about those."

When did you realise science and maths, like any other human practice, is just a method of getting by in life and is literally no different to astrology?

1. For you to know that a clock works, you must match it with another clock. For you to know that that clock works, you must too match it with another one.

2. If I were to match a clock with a universally accepted one. With what will I compare the universally accepted clock?

3. I may compare it to some axiomatic framework and understanding as to the operation of clocks but they can be no more certain. Any thought or interpretation can be derived from an axiom but they can be no more certain than it is itself.

4. If I were to say that such and such an operation or movement of atoms or photons in something I determine as 'temporal' is the standard by which I define a second. Then how am I sure of the measuring tool of atoms or photons that I have used? And doesn't this lead to the same problem as before?

5. If I am to be handed a clock, am I not always under the assumption that it 'works'? And what would a working clock look like exactly? Doesn't it work already within my daily life?

6. It is not that we should act at all turns as though this is the case. No, what we must do is simply realise the groundlessness of our beliefs.

7. Mustn't I say at all turns, "I believe this to be the case..."

Why does adding up a bunch of numbers and dividing that figure by the amount of numbers equate to an average?

What exactly is an average? Is it another made up mathematical concept?

It's like you want to piss them off. We should just pretend that planet doesn't exist from now on.

Hey guys, HS senior here

Is aeronautics engineering a good degree to pursue in this day and age or I'm better off working at McDonald's?

>physicists talking about string theory and hypothetical universes where everyone has a purple dildo growing out of their forehead and whatever when they still haven't worked out the mechanics of fluids and 3 body problems

Now, I'm no expert physicist (all I know are up to maxwell's equations and lagrangians) but this makes no sense to me. I was looking at the physics phd departments at different universities but it seems like barely anyone is doing anything in fluid mechanics or anything. Is it because there's no funding in it?

Is 0.999..... equal to 1, /sci/?

Time to bring back an old /sci/ topic:
Is 0.999999999(repeating) equal to 1?
