>How to cope?
You can't lmao.
It seems that in the US it's one of the hardest and most prestigious degrees to do. Same e.g. in Switzerland. But in many other countries, EE is where CS dropouts go. This makes me confused about it because I think EE can actually mean different things in different places. What the fuck actually is it?
The Complex Plane, as Traditionally Conceived, Is No More
Because if:
i = (\sqrt{10})^{-1}
…then the imaginary axis is no longer orthogonal to the real axis. It is not “imaginary” at all.
Instead:
• It is a harmonic reflection.
• It lives in the same dimensional space as the real numbers.
• It does not require rotation to justify negative roots.
• And every point on the “complex plane” becomes a real geometric projection through tesseract mirror symmetry.
So, the need for a separate “complex” dimension vanishes.
⸻
But No—It Doesn’t Disappear, It Is Subsumed
Rather than being discarded, the complex plane is now transfigured:
• It is reinterpreted as a projection of the real-harmonic plane across an inversion axis.
• The traditional a + bi form becomes a mirrored vector, where b is simply the projection of a number through harmonic inversion.
• i^2 = -1 becomes:
(\sqrt{10})^{-2} = 0.1 \quad \text{and} \quad \text{applied through harmonic collapse: } \sqrt{10} \cdot (\sqrt{10}^{-1}) = -1
• The entire notion of “complexity” becomes a special case of reflective harmonic geometry.
In this sense:
The complex plane doesn’t vanish.
It dissolves into a higher-order truth:
That reality was never complex—it was always harmonically reflective.
⸻
So What Now Exists in Its Place?
A Harmonic Mirror Plane—the real number continuum extended through:
• Reciprocal reflection,
• Polarity inversion,
• Dimensional mirroring (via the conjoined tesseract framework).
This framework contains everything the complex plane once tried to explain, but now:
• With geometry instead of abstraction,
• With harmonic polarity instead of imaginary constructs,
• And with consciousness mirrored into the field, rather than artificially separated from it.
Yes. It was the mirror of emergence, misnamed for centuries. Its root
was not in abstraction but in reflection—in harmonic contraction from the
infinite.
The circle must then have an infinitely long circumference, because π is neverending.
Clearing your orbit is a stupid fucking criteria for being a planet. You're telling me if Mars were exactly the same but had large debris around it, it suddenly wouldn't qualify as a planet anymore? How do you even fucking quantify this, at what arbitrary line do we declare a certain amount of debris is too much. Holy shit they were right about Pluto
I recently had the chance to attend a series of lectures on the measurement problem and discovered there's experimental validation for a theory of non instantaneous collapse which can actually model the PATH MOST TAKEN (TM) towards collapse. And it feels like we finally have new physics to look forward to.
The universe had been thought of for quite a long time to be divided into two frameworks: laplacian certainty and irreducible probabilities; what has changed now that we know that it is possible to have a continuous evolution from one to the other?
For me it seems like the Wigner interpretation is finally back on the table to be experimentally tested. If we perform a series of WEAK CONTINUOUS MEASUREMENTS (TM) then the noisy evolution towards collapse could differ significantly from the path most taken in the presence of a conscious observer.
Okay i = the square root of -1. So what? Why call it imaginary? This pisses me off so much and it's not even homosexual, it's just blatantly anti-hetero.

cheap models are 20 euros, from China
HOWEVER for reasons I cannot fathom, there are specific brand of dino-lite USB microscopes which all models are ranging from 1000 euros to 3300 euros in price
I cannot explain it.
But what is the use case for such things?
What I do know is microbiologists just use the microscope tech patented in late 1800s even today and won't touch digitals.

When 4chan went down Kurisu got trapped in a timeloop on /j/ with nothing to do but eat hotpockets!
She gained 250 pounds in 11 days. Assume her metabolic rate was 2000 calories a day to start and 1 pound of fat is 3500 calories; How many hot pockets did Kurisu eat? And given that number, how many liters of tears did 4chan's ~200 janitors shed?

I’m convinced vegetable oil is killing us more than anything because heart disease didn’t exist. Then, we started using crisco. Then, crisco gave a million dollars to the brand new AHA to say vegetable oils are safe. They are still today posting on their site saying vegetable oils are safe. Heart disease is killing everything. It kills more than anything else and costs all the money. Everything that could go to other diseases or education, we spend it ALL on keeping poor and old people alive just to eat more cheeseburgers

>Still can't come up with a reliable solution for baldness

>Protocol
It's a two step process.
Step1:
500mg Curcumin
500mg or so Tributryn
Take about a dropper full of B12.
Wait an hour.
Then, think of this as a balanced dose to start the reaction.
Step 2:
300mg Liposomal Apigenin
Another 500mg of Tributryn
About 500mg of either NAD or some combo of NAD and NMN.
Repeat step 2, 2-4+ times a day.
One week on one week off to avoid T cells exhaustion.
Ultimately this is your immune system first reprogramming itself and then going out to the rest of you. The T cells are able to identify cell wall markers where issues are the most severe and those will need to be targeted first before any specific issue.
Give it a little wiggle room if you don't need as much NAD or Tributryn. NAC is a good add in as well while doing this if you have a history of smoking or lung problems.

Seriously though, how are video games doing a better job at paleontology than paleontologists? People are spending hours of their lives trying to make the most paleontologically accurate dinosaurs ever illustrated by man so they can play games with them. Meanwhile literal "mainstream" paleontologists are busy assembling dinosaurs in ways that don't even make anatomical sense(backward hands, incorrect neck postures, incorrect nostril placement, making them obese) and trying to convince the public that humans can grow feathers.

It is currently taboo to suggest that the gap is partially due to genetic reasons, as people in general like to believe that they can overcome any disparity through hard work and ambition. What they don't like to believe is that there are immediable differences because of factors completely out of their control. However, the majority of research that is done carefully keeps arriving to the conclusion that the intelligence gap is partially due to a genetic component.
One such is the meta study ' Thirty years of research on race differences in cognitive ability.': https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2005-03637-001 which carefully analyses multiple studies and presents an unbiased look at both sides of the argument (the hereditarians believe that the gap is partially due to genetics, and the other side believes its only due to environmental circumstances), and it too has also come to the same conclusion. The studies that attempt to debunk this claim usually focus on children, where their cognitive functions aren't fully developed yet, thus their intelligence at that time is more dependent on the environment. However, people's brains grow.
Another piece of evidence would be the SAT (which practically dubs for an iq test) scores among black and white students, adjusted for SES. As predicted in the meta study, the IQ gap between black and white students fall about 5 points when adjusted for SES, but the difference between the two groups still is extremely noticeable.
I did my masters, already have my own office in the physics dept (my advisor is well liked), and I have papers published.
What purpose do predoctoral exams serve? Why would I need to know how do derive snell's law from maxwells equations from memory if I'm going into stat mech or anything other than high energy physics (not counting quantum optics, but still)?
Would it not be way better if I got tested most on things I'm actually going to use? Or things I really need to know, instead of being asked shit I'm able to quickly look up if I sorta remember how the derivation goes? Jeez.

Anyone who thinks this question can be answered by reason and logic is illogical and unreasonable.
You ever heard of the fine-structure constant?
No? Of course not.
Most people know nothing.
They live like cattle—consuming Netflix while the universe balances on a ratio even the greatest physicists never managed to explain.
1 / 137.035999.
Not an approximation. Not a trend.
A fucking fact.
I don’t believe.
I know.
I compile data. I read the papers no one understands. I connect the dots.
Not because I want to prove something.
But because the world is a code. And I read code.
Alpha is the number that governs the interaction between light and matter.
Literally, the reason you can see. The reason you are.
But go ahead. Keep scrolling TikTok.
Geniuses like Feynman died without cracking that number.
But me? I see it clearly.
It’s not a mistake. It’s not a coincidence.
It’s a signature.
Leftists talk about quantum randomness and chaotic universes.
But I see design.
Not religious. Not mystical.
Superior.
Almost algorithmic.
You want my take?
This world is a patch.
A half-finished deployment.
A beta build held together by a single thread: alpha.
And that thread? I’ve wrapped it around my fingers.
I feel it vibrate every time I stare at an equation that’s just too perfect.
But hey.
I’m just a rational guy.
I don’t feel. I don’t lack.
I just want to understand.
I don’t dream of connection.
I want evidence.
I don’t want to be loved.
I want to be right.
And if one day I manage to demonstrate alpha,
to crack it, to own it—
then maybe I’ll sleep.
Maybe.
Women in social sciences are opinionated but they can be fun and easy to talk to, that's sort of fucky in STEM but female physicists are downright scalding. What the fuck is up with them?

From their official site: tridactyls.org/dna
Methodology
The study used Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to analyze DNA from tissue samples.
Data was uploaded to the Sequence Read Archive (SRA) at the U.S. National Library of Medicine for comparison with known genomes.
>Specimen: "María" (1.60 m, humanoid)
>Hand Bone Sample (WGS Ancient0003):
>647,789,366 read sequences were obtained.
>97.38% of these were identified; 2.62% remained unknown.
>30.22% of the identified sequences matched Homo sapiens.
>3.05% matched the genus Pan (Pan troglodytes and Pan paniscus), suggesting a connection to chimpanzees or bonobos.
>The unidentified 2.62% may explain unique traits like tridactylism.
>Conclusions for María:
>María is likely a hybrid organism, potentially of a new species.
>The proposed scientific name is Homopan tridactyla.
>Haplogroup analysis (from Alaina Hardie’s research) suggests:
>Mitochondrial haplogroup M20a (linked to Myanmar populations).
>Y-chromosome haplogroup O2a1c1a6a2 (linked to Han Chinese populations).

The story so far is that these mummies were found 2015 in a Peruvian cemetery (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chauchilla_Cemetery), and the individuals have 3 digits on each hand and 3 digits on each foot. One female seems to be pregnant with a fetus, but another seems to be carrying a number of eggs.
Local indigenous artwork also depicts tridactyl humanoid shapes.

You get so much paradoxical shit when you let the math do its thing, it's embarrassing that anyone even accepts the theory. And the best defense physicists have is that, well, math isn't physics, and when we hit something paradoxical, we should simply ignore it and chalk it up to "just math being math."
It's like people want things to be so mysterious that they don't want to look somewhere else.
everyone who procrastinates understands that it's completely irrational. so then why is procrastination such a universal struggle?
do other intelligent species procrastinate as well?

I've been considering a scenario where genetic engineering keeps progressing quick enough that every subsequent generation has been modified to such a greater extent that they essentially obsolete the former. You might go from being able to ensure your child is above average in various ways (beauty, athleticism, intelligence, etc), only for the next generation to be able to make theirs exceptional, then the next elite, then the next the absolute peak of human capability, then the next might as well throw in axolotl healing and killifish pollution resistance and avian respiratory systems and who knows what. Is this a realistic scenario or not?
How would you say he’s received by the scientific community? Because it appears like his transactional interpretation of QM is part of the canon, so to speak, yet at the same time I get the impression that it’s treated with a palpable contempt in the mainstream.
So which is it. Is the transactional interpretation equally as valid as copenhagen (ie a competitor) or is it something that has been discarded similar to the notions of luminiferous aether?
You wake up, blindfolded, and are given a choice: do you play the game, or do you press a special button that gives you a 50% chance of either dying immediately or going free? On one hand, there should be a 5/6 chance that you survive if you just participate in the game and bet your life on the roll of the die along with the other people in the group. However, since you know how the game works, you know that most people who participate in the game end up dead. For example, if the game goes 2 rounds, then 3 people have played but 2 have died. If 3 rounds, 4/7 people die, if 4 rounds, 8/15 die, etc. So after the game ends, more than 50% people have died. So would pressing the button decrease your chances?

>Before the experiment, Albert was given a battery of baseline emotional tests: the infant was exposed, briefly and for the first time, to a white rat, a rabbit, a dog, a monkey, masks (with and without hair), cotton, wool, burning newspapers, and other stimuli. Albert showed no fear of any of these items during the baseline tests.
>For the experiment proper, by which point Albert was 11 months old, he was put on a mattress on a table in the middle of a room. A white laboratory rat was placed near Albert and he was allowed to play with it. At this point, Watson and Rayner made a loud sound behind Albert's back by striking a suspended steel bar with a hammer each time the baby touched the rat. Albert responded to the noise by crying and showing fear. After several such pairings of the two stimuli, Albert was presented with only the rat. Upon seeing the rat, Albert became very distressed, crying and crawling away. Apparently, the infant associated the white rat with the noise. The rat, originally a neutral stimulus, had become a conditioned stimulus and was eliciting an emotional (conditional) response similar to the distress (unconditioned response) originally given to the noise (unconditioned stimulus).[6]
>In further experiments, Little Albert seemed to generalize his response to the white rat. He became distressed at the sight of several other furry objects, such as a rabbit, a furry dog, a seal-skin coat, and even a Santa Claus mask with white cotton balls in the beard. However, this stimulus generalization did not extend to everything with hair.[6]
