    Probability of stars in a multiverse

    "Multiverse" theories are really speculative atm. There is no way to tell if something is going to happen when you don't know anything about it. Structure formulation would depend on the laws of physics. If you believe that the laws of physics and all the constants except the cosmological...

    Sharing IQ Scores: The Ethics and Implications

    The most interesting question is what exactly IQ tests are measuring.

    Sharing IQ Scores: The Ethics and Implications

    I just said that its over 9000 but we don't know which number from (9000 ;\infty ) it is. The reason for this is because when I mesure something and the mesurement says it passes the number 9000 my natural reaction is to grab the tool in my hand and smash it screaming "It's over 9000!" .

    Non-academic activities that have helped you academically?

    Strength training sometimes helps me to relax my mind and be ready for doing math/physics/studying, When you always try to lift heavier weights and do harder exercises you can't help but stop thinking for things that bother you and focus on your training. After 1-2 hours even if your body feels...

    Most Boring/Hated Subject That You're Forced to Take?

    The problem is that it is mandatory to learn uselsess subject like Philosophy. The other problem is that there are infinite number of "indipendent realities" that you can construct but we live in only one. Further more philosophy is like doing mathematics without knowing mathematics...

    Most Boring/Hated Subject That You're Forced to Take?

    So when it's not useful in our reality why should they put it as mandatory school subject. As I said studying philosophy in school is equivalent of studying that the Earth was created before 6000years after all this is independent reality. School is about getting knowledge that will help you in...

    Most Boring/Hated Subject That You're Forced to Take?

    Len M I asked you a simple question. Have philosophy done anything usefull ever (40000 BC - 2013 AD)? And I will repeat myself. We won't count people like Newton here who gave the name philosophy to science book because the word physics was not popular at that time. All theories that...

    Most Boring/Hated Subject That You're Forced to Take?

    To be even more precise. The only reason that Philosophy contributed to science is that for some reason the word Physics wasn't popular in the time of Newton so he had to use the word philosophy in his famous book. What he ment actualy was Physics. If we correct this mistake we can now say that...

    Most Boring/Hated Subject That You're Forced to Take?

    I agree with this. They really should stop teaching this BS in high school. It's really annoying when you have a poem containing no more than 50 words and you have to write essay ~500 words about it in which you have to repeat the garbage that you were hearing for hours and hours. The other big...

    Calculator Vs computer precision

    What do you mean by "computer calculator" ? Computers have much more power than any calculators so in principle you can write better calculation software even on the worst computers today. Also there are pi calculating programs out there like y-cruncher with which you can compute million digits...

    If the greatest mathematicians / physicists where alive today

    He certainly did. I will give you a few examples. I will mention only the things that revolutionized the way we think about certain things not his other works like theorizing photons(Since Max Planck was the first to think of quantized EM waves) solving photoelectric effect, etc. He did change...

    If the greatest mathematicians / physicists where alive today

    He revolutionized the way we think about every topic.Problems physicists try to solve are getting much more complicated and experiments are becoming more and more expensive. We can't expect as much discoveries as between the years ~1900~1950~ .
