POLL: How many Bs did you make?

<p>12 monkeys is a movie starring Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis. =0 Interesting…</p>

<p>@ 12npm12: It’s nice to have some numbers keep happening to you.</p>

<p>FYI:
[12</a> (number) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_(number)]12”>12 (number) - Wikipedia)
[21</a> (number) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/21_(number)]21”>21 (number) - Wikipedia)</p>

<p>Personally I think that 12 is a nicer number, at least you get to see it on the clock everyday.</p>

<p>Even if we have 26 hours a day, I can never get away from it, I swear :smiley:
Moreover, 12/3 = 4, 21/3 = 7, 7-4=3, I like 4 and 7, and to me, 3 is the number of the balance of nature :D</p>

<p>2 should the best number in nature, as it represent the simplest number system. But mother nature doesn’t seem to fancy 2 much.
Perhaps 1, 0, e and pi as well. Who can forget the almighty i.</p>

<p>Haha, you favor math, while I favor physics. Actually the term physics, to me, is something more about … the nature, not just … physics (I don’t know how to express it in words :frowning: Philosophy???).
Kenhungkk, do you think that mathematics is just a way we learn about this world under our eyes, or it is truly the way that Mother Nature makes our world to be? (philosophy! NO!!! I don’t like it one bit :frowning: )</p>

<p>Math is the way I interpret the world. Well, math is physics is math! I think the way you feel about physics is the way I feel about math.</p>

<p>For the way the world is made, I think it’s neuroscience. Brain rules. If not for our brain, we aren’t even here on CC.</p>

<p>[We’ve succeeded in hijacking this post!]</p>

<p>“math is physics is math”: I like this one! So physics is math is physics, huh? :smiley:
Imagine 2 curves representing math and physics. Do you think that they are actually different functions (but functions of what? idk :D), or they are just a reflection of the other in respect to a line? Will they ever intersect?</p>

<p>I was taught that there were 2 main philosophical isms: idealism and materialism. Though my country believes in materialism, I have been casting doubt on them both. Okay, I’m starting talking crap now, and I don’t want to wage war here, so I’ll stop :D</p>

<p>P.S: I guess QuantumArbiter (the OP) is sneezing :D</p>

<p>2nd P.S: Sorry those who favor other sciences :D</p>

<p>Physics is math is physics is math is physics is math is physics is …!</p>

<p>I guess that’s why my physics teacher married my math teacher :D</p>

<p>Oh wow. What do you say about this? The movie is on the TV right now. =0 Coincidence?</p>

<p>Psh. Applied physics is better than pure physics anyway. Ooooooh I can lower temperature to less than one-millionth of a Kelvin…</p>

<p>EEs can build chips that run CC! :D</p>

<p>@MrPanda: It’s a sign that monkey-ism is dominating???
@HitMan: IMO there shouldn’t be discrimination between pure physics and applied physics :)</p>

<p>@HitMan: If there is no pure physics, there is no application of physics, and there is no applied physics.</p>

<p>Let’s prove that pure physics pwn all via Prove by Contradiction.</p>

<p>Assume that applied physics is greater than pure physics.</p>

<p>Applied physics is clearly not pure physics.
Anything pure contains 100%.
Pure physics is 100% physics.
Anything not pure is not 100%.
Applied physics is not 100%.
There is nothing greater than 100%.
Applied physics is less than 100%.
99.9999%>100% clearly a contradiction.</p>

<p>@kenhungkk: And there is no physics :smiley: Easy, man. HitMan didn’t refute the importance of pure physics, he only weighed the two fields.
@MrPanda: Haha, wordplay is cool! :smiley:
Similarly, we shall deduce this comparison:
Monkey is monkey, so monkey is 100% monkey (obviously!).
MrPanda worships both panda and monkey, so MrPanda is less than 100% monkey (easy!).
Hence, monkey is greater than MrPanda (oops! :D).</p>

<p>The above proof is a fallacy. In one of the steps you divided by infinity which is not permitted.</p>

<p>Anyone want to join me in proving irrational numbers? I think I will open a thread for this. =D</p>

<p>Just counting academic classes:
First year: B- in Science, B in everything else, I think.
Second year: A in Math/Science, B in two classes.
Third year: A- in Math, A in science, B in one class.
Fourth year (first quarter): A in everything. </p>

<p>So overall my grades are actually comparatively bad. I was deferred.</p>
