and do you understand WHY they had no steam engine ?
That's right: Because no one looked at entertainment pieces like the various contraptions of Heron and thought 'hey, thats really usefull, lets just scale it up, make it somewhat more robust and have it move things for us' because this issue was not part of the collective conscious. One simply forced a slave and things got done. This was far cheaper, more intuitive and less complicated.
Had there been say, a high price of slavery, the collective consciousness would have been more perceptive.

>How do you respond without sounding like a CERN physicist?
1) scientists don't have to be famous, there is no apparatus mounted to promote scientists in the media like there are for industries which require, and therefore promote celebrity fame, and
2) the public doesn't care enough. They rather be on instagram or tikcock looking at ass or watching some random sports event.

Is STEM education really the same regardless of how highly ranked the college is?

A lot of people I used to hear say that if you major ina fine either or engineering that it doesn’t really matter where you go to college as the dictation is all the same. The idea was that things like the humanities are taught differently at say harvard than a random state school. But since technical subjects are so objective, if you go to a low ranked local school and major in physics, there’s nothing special you won’t be learning that someone who studied physics at Harvard learned. How true is this? Obviously it matters for employment but just about the things you learn are there things that the elite colleges will go over that the low ranked ones will not? Is there really much of a difference from what a physics or pure maths major will have to learn at a random state school compared to someone at cal tech!

Pic related went to a local salarian university majored in stem and did great things

Doesn't fucking matter a bit if you're seriously actually interested in learning that topic. I went to princeton from a community college for a math degree and it wasn't all that different. It's just that the people around you are trying unlike people in most colleges so it changes the social atmosphere of teachers and students compared to other colleges. You also get access to some other resources via profs and college provided stuff. The things that they teach you pretty much is the average stuff taught in most colleges. it's just that everyone is trying to get good marks and the college puts out questions which expect you to have learned the materials in classes & also have researched/practiced on your own so it seems different than your other colleges. This basically gives it's students ego trip and makes them think they're better than other students but if you give them anything that they'll have to figure out on their own they'll immediately fucking crumble down. Other than that culture aspect not really much different. Also btw these faggots in ivy league don't even go to ivy league cause they love the subject. The subject becomes a part of their lives rather than their lives being a part of that particular subject. Specially if you start talking to these people you'll really understand how cheap of a person they really are underneath all that false-glamour that they radiate

I am a math major at an R1 uni and a most of the professors and postdocs I have taken classes from or worked with are foreigners who immigrated for or after their phd. A lot are from italy for some reason.
Is this because american unis are better to work at or because america can’t produce enough good math phds locally?

This. Talk to your parents and tell them about the current economy. Tell them you want to work for 5 years instead of going to college because that will help you save money to buy a house instead of graduating with a huge debt.
Don't move out of your parents house and save all your paychecks, tell them to keep providing housing and food for you for free because thats part of the experiment(an average wagecuck job can barely cover rent plus food, you don't get to spend money on luxury)
In the end, instead of a degree and debt you will have a bank account with enough money to survive.
If you are not a retard you could also become a manager by the time or at least have a higher position with a higher wage.
If you are too dumb to climb the ladder, what makes you think you could have graduated from college?

I was reading more about this and.. i figure that if i was located in some huge sphere (like a planet durr) i could measure the curvature by measuring triangle angles.
Locally the effects would be null, as these curved manifolds are locally flat by definition, but by drawing ever bigger triangles one would start to notice that the angles dont add up to 180, and the effect if bigger with triangle size.
So this would indicate a scale of how big the sphere was, hence the radius hence the curvature. Very good.

industries that sell decent healthy products aren't driven to engage in that kind of bribery and fraudulent advertising because their products already speak for themselves. thats why you should never ever trust a scientist when they're trying to tell you what to eat or what else is good for you. they're only telling you that because they're being paid to and they have no consciences about lying so they don't mind shilling poison, they can rationalize any kind of lying in order to get money because they are that greedy
