I'm thinking about it, but why bother? We will never understand the universe at a basic level. It's futile. The universe is too vast and too complicated for us to ever understand.

ZapperZ said:Who do you think invented the transistor that has become the foundation of modern electronics? When you or your family get an MRI, who do you think came out with the physics that allowed for such application? How did you think we understand the behavior of semiconductors and magnetic materials so that you can post such a comment online via your computer?
If you think that all of physics is nothing more than some esoteric knowledge that has no bearing on your way of life and all the conveniences that you've enjoyed, you'd better look again.
Zz.

physics and maths have no purpose besides intellectual curiosity.fizziks said:I never knew that the whole point of physics is to understand the universe. Physics is there just to make our lives easier. Ultimately at the end, physics is there to satisfy our material needs, not understand the universe. Very simple to understand the human nature.
More than half the world population don't really care about science unless it benefits or helps them directly. And sadly this is true among the majority of the Americans. It's the typical: "Why do we keep funding NASA and space missions? It doesn't help me in anyway and I want my tax dollars to benefit me and what is happening now."

No it's just mathematics, in real life girls are complex, in physics they are simply imaginary.wildman said:Oh... None of the physics classes I took had any girls. Maybe upper level classes had all the girls.

it means exactly what it means, I've seen a picture of her and she doesn't look "hot" to me.RetardedBastard said:Hey, what's that supposed to mean?
jacohen said:I've written way more than I meant, especially since I feel it is asinine to respond to such an obvious troll. And where are these girls I keep hearing about?
jacohen said:Although he exaggerated a little bit, he does bring up the point that children are learning higher and higher levels of math and science at earlier ages.
Well the UK A level (age 16-18) grades are out today and not surprisingly are up 25% on last year as usual. Since we keep getting told that the exams aren't getting easier I look forward to the effects of the exponential increases in intelligence since league tables of schools were introduced.InbredDummy said:good to know they are teaching quantum field theory and the poincare conjecture in high school, i can go to sleep peacefully tonight.
strings235 said:by the way...I don't understand exactly why you guys consider the female physics professor "hot"...no offense but she doesn't "look" that special.
