Chem is pretty cool but I sucked really bad at it when I had a class on it in uni But I'm pretty good at physics

>>196 What field of physics specifically?

>>193 Computer science, although is it the same kind of science? Most sciences is trying to find out something, while computer science is trying to make the computer do something

>>210 Usually when people say "science" they're talking about the natural/empirical sciences, so no not the same type of science. Computer science feels like it belongs to the same category as math and logic.

>>193 All of them!

>>90 a philosopher >>89 I didn't read it but I'm starting to read it

>>92 Based, don't forget to read out loud and drink coffee if stuck

>>89 How about his Metaphysics, did you read that.

>>89 i've read it several times >>169 started but ended up reading other stuff and never finished it, have read a bunch of his other stuff as well though.

>>170 Yeah me too, only read some of the introduction. i'm reading kant right now

>>102 Yes

>>103 sorry I can't help you

>>100 I always wanted to learn more about music theory. Do you have any advice/material for an (almost) absolute beginner?

>>105 Hi fren. Just learn music notation, scales, chords and what arrangements are (in that order). You do not need any specific books, even youtube stuff suffices (I learned myself with a "The complete idiot's guide to music theory" book); the important thing here is for you to understand the concepts. Have a piano at hand to play stuff you learn, so you can begin to associate sounds with concepts, that way you will be able to understand how it all works; try an online piano if you do not have a real piano, a guitar is just way too complicated to learn theory well. Knowing all of that should be enough for you to be able to "read" music as if it were a language; notation, scales, chords and arrangements are what music is made with. If you want to compose you can learn melodic function and harmonic function. Those are mere guidelines though..

not him but thanks for the book recommendation i also wanted to learn music theory

There is some really interesting engineering being done in it. https://biggieblog.com/building-arbitrary-life-patterns-in-15-gliders/

just found out that there's a whole ass wiki for this stuff https://conwaylife.com/wiki/

Yay! People who know about this. >>48 Didn't realize there was a wiki for it though LOL. I have a question however: Is it possible for a number of cells in a pattern to increase indefinitely?

>>117 Yes https://conwaylife.com/wiki/Infinite_growth

>>45 I'd say topology is the hardest. and quantum physics has the most potential

>>45 AI and machine learning have been accelerating in recent years.. and it still has the most potential for progress. >>47 I'd say topology is the hardest as well.

idk about hardest I'd say most potential is computational complexity theory, since it's one of the newest fields (and thus there's more 'low-hanging fruit' as it were) and results are already having implications in other unrelated fields (see the MIP* = RE proof for an example).

Is is a copout to say both? Because I *do* find both more or less equally interesting.

>>79 So STEM, English, Humanities are on the same level for you?

>>81 English is less.

While I like math more, and I have more interest in it. I have found English related things more useful in my current life. I hate English subjects, but it is useful for basically everything. Unfortunately

>>87 What's your major if you're having one? I'm majoring in computer science, so math is more important to me With English skills you need, you can easily learn the useful stuff either online or in a basic class. I liked to read growing up, so I definitely like literature, but didn't really like studying it that much.

>Why? makes the theory simpler and makes sense >what would a patch of spacetime with torsion even look like? twists and turns in its geometry making the way things move around depend on the path they take and giving gravity a weird effect on matter

>>85 Are there any computer simulations out there that visualize the effect? I've been looking but can't find any.

Life on Titan? Yeah, there was for a few hours

>>70 I think you forgot the "ic"

>>67 Titan becoming warmer in the future is only a slight possibility It's still being researched because the climate is mostly influenced by methane and ethane (kind of like Earth's water cycle)

>>71 No, The submarine was called "Titan"

read the above wikipedia page the tl;dr is that conditions seem favorable to a certain type of hypothetical life and there is some weird chemistry going on near the surface that isn't easily explained without it

What's the difference between p-adic numbers and real numbers? In terms of their algebraic and topological properties

>>35 I know some values of p contain complex numbers.
