    What is the oldest text/email you still have on your phone

    Mine goes back to 2014 at least..

    Undergrad Do you translate mathematics or understand it natively?

    I think this nurture/nature debate over talent vs skill in mathematics and mathematical applications is a long-standing one that still really isn't answered.. There are definitely examples in history and in modern-day life that point to talent being somewhat intuitive as in what genetics you...

    Cracking an egg, why didn't I think of that before?

    Yes the industrial grade "food" the chickens are fed, because of patent laws or outright corporate litigation I don't think the farming industry has had to tell consumers the complete truth.. and when it comes to food this is important

    How can i stop talking to myself while studying?

    yea that voice in your head, it's called thought! I use to do this so my g/f would stop shushing me =/ It did a lot of good actually since I've heard gum is really good for your jawline and obviously breath!

    Is Reality Just a Construct of Our Beliefs?

    Science is grounded in evidence and fact and that our surroundings and physical conditions tend to shape our world view as well. If you are indeed having an "existential crisis" then maybe analyze the root causes which have made you get there in the first place.

    Cracking an egg, why didn't I think of that before?

    Using more force (the right amount mind you not too much) I believe would then work. If they are "free-range" farm animals then yea I believe the shell is going to be naturally harder and isn't softened by preservatives or whatever industrial grade chemicals they are putting in the food these days.

    Cracking an egg, why didn't I think of that before?

    Some people just aren't good at common sense things.. they say that about a lot of scientists or people who don't regularly perform "activities of daily living" as we in Just like the brain it's all muscle memory! Repetition repetition repetition.

    ^ Hey that's what i was thinking but it's hard for some men to take care of themselves :(

    Cracking an egg, why didn't I think of that before?

    kinetically speaking i think you would just need to crack it sharply for it to crack along a straight line, aka shearing force. Thus along with the motion crack it on top of the edge of a bowl or something sharp so as to create such a force.

    Graduate "mysterious connection between number theory, algebra and ST

    I saw it on one of the science websites i frequent... maybe /r science or sciencenewsdaily.. guess it has no application outside of just being an interesting link between the 3?

    Graduate "mysterious connection between number theory, algebra and ST

    https://www.quantamagazine.org/20150312-mathematicians-chase-moonshines-shadow/ Sorry for the long title but ST = string theory. Just thought it was interesting news personally since string theory has been elusively hard to prove or observe(at least the particles it claims to predict, notably...

    Have Grading Curves Ever Surprised You?

    IMHO if a professor actually takes time to teach a class there should be no need for a curve or to make it excessively challenging, at least on the undergraduate level. I mean why make the maximum score a 10/10 if a 8/10 is possible or even feasible.

    Graduate Can there ever be a Theory of Everything?

    I'm not sure if it's just me but this time of circular logic or "going around in circles" is something that people of all scientific fields can relate to. Just like you can have two independent observers reach the same conclusion under differing circumstances you can have 2+(multiple) observers...

    Undergrad Euler's identity, mathematical beauty and applications of it

    Thanks for the responses, just on a personal curious level, how often does the formula or identity come up in nature? The simplified Euler's identity version and not the formula just seems a very elegant and simple way to describe something that must have taken a great amount of rigor to reach...
