Science/Technology / Re: Some Scientists You Probably Don't Know But Probably Should. by MathsChic(f): 11:12pm On Dec 20, 2015 |
Teempakguy:Yes, it's a matter of perspective after all. String theory is still disputed among scientists and is strictly a theoretical framework. Until actual strings are observed, I think it'll stay an invention. On the contrary, Newton's laws are actually statement of facts. Wouldn't you agree that an object will continue forever in motion in the absence of friction? That's not modelling, it's a fact. The inverse-square formula may be an invention or some kind of modelling, but the basic laws surrounding the formula are not inventions. At least in my opinion. 1 Like 1 Share |

oglalasioux:Good. And even though we can't see certain wavelengths, we see their effects (like gravity) and we have mathematical tools that accurately predict them. 1 Like |

Teempakguy:I actually understand the point your are trying to make, but still I disagree. Of course, newton did not invent gravity. And going by your logic, he also did not invent a theory of gravity, since he was wrong after all. If he invented the theory of gravity, then what would you call relativity? Isn't relativity the acceptable theory of gravity? What Newton "invented" is a series of explanation, mathematical descriptions and formulas which somewhat explained gravity in a classical way. Einstein came along with his own "inventions" which were also a series of advanced mathematical expressions that refined Newton's theories. So, you are right a bit in saying they invented some tools. However, all of what Newton did is true and existed already in nature, only waiting for someone to come along and spot them. The three laws, at least. And to be fair, Einstein did not really alter any of what Newton did. He merely modified them. So, while Newton may have "invented" tools with which to interpret gravity, he did discover some set of laws which gravity obeyed and which are absolutely fundamental, so fundamental there is doubt they would ever change. Some would say they are as real and fundamental as your element in the periodic table. It is in that sense we say he "discovered". Nevertheless, I think the interpretation, whether invent or discover, comes to from what perspective one is looking at it. 1 Like |

Teempakguy: No, I disagree. Observe, it's called the "theory" of relativity. Scientists don't invent theories. They study and observe nature, then they come to a conclusion that explains the situation somewhat. Others can come along in the future to refine the theory. Would you say Newton "invented" gravity? No, he discovered it. Gravity has always existed even before Newton. So has relativity. Calculus is a tool, so you are right in saying that was invented by Newton (and Leibniz). It's a beautiful tool with which to analyse results. It existed in some variation in "limits" which had always been known to earlier scientists. 2 Likes |

Education / I Hate Being Smart! by MathsChic(f): 12:21pm On Dec 20, 2015 |
Sometimes I just hate being smart. Being smart, getting A's in school will make you top your class and later provide you with a decent to very lucrative job that's just going to assure your future. You won't be poor and you'll live a comfortable life. But sometimes, I just can't help but wonder at how boring and mundane everything eventually becomes. On the other hand, not getting all the A's and not topping your class will throw you out there, challenge you to dream big and force you to come up with a living that could probably break bounds, making you into a household name. Linda Ikeji, Toke Makinwa, Folorunsho Alakija, Oprah, these are people who certainly didn't get the best grades in school or studied the best courses at university, yet they shape and influence the polity more than the best graduating student in Electrical Engineering from the set 1985 in Unilag would ever do. And who's that best graduating student anways? I bet no one knows today! I so hate being smart! I wish I was a regular one that would have had to create something for herself. 36 Likes 5 Shares |

whirlwind7: Demmocrats: cold: BrBakreez: How do you guys manage to think these things without even looking at the evidence? He had the chance to prove his innocence, but I guess the Nigerian in you guys will never really let you see beyond your noses. Sometimes, I wonder less that Nigeria is in the quagmire it is in when people like you are around there. Merely from the child's statements, it is very apparent that the man might have done what it's claimed he did. Not just in the mode in which she delivered her testimony, but also considering that if she was lying, she would have been jailed instead. The man was arrested while "he was trying to go to Nigeria to bury his mother". Isn't it just evident that he was trying to escape justice? Wouldn't an innocent man stand to sort himself out? And isn't it so convenient that he said she was raped in Nigeria, where the law's hand of justice will not reach? And shouldn't he go out to identify "the neighbourhood boy" he claimed was raping her when he saw them? This man appears as guilty as a boy caught with his hand in the soup pot, and it's just okay that he is getting what he deserved. |

Canme4u: NCC recently warned(?) MTN, GLO and other networks about deducting customer balance after data subscription comes to an end. According to NCC, only Etisalat was compliant. They informed them that if the same thing persisted, they'd institute another fine. I guess they all are compliant now. This was an easy thing all networks could have done. Instead they took the shorter route which not only saved them the necessary work, but enriched them unjustly when data subscription runs to zero. 61 Likes 3 Shares |

brokenPearl:We make mistakes in life. But we shouldn't punish ourselves for these mistakes. Your story really touched me. I'm trying to imagine how you feel now deep inside, but I'm sure my best efforts can't accomplish that. In the end, you don't let other people's actions dictate the results of your life. You deserve to the happy, to have a man to care for you, just as every other lady desires. Don't let your previous relationship be the reason why you shouldn't experience this happiness. |

brokenPearl:This is a delicate one. But do you still have a lot on your plate? Like school? Does he appear like someone that can take very good care of her? If that's the case, you could consider giving him custody and working out a reasonable arrangement that will have you see her and share almost equal time with her. Sorry, but if you still have a lot to achieve and are not financially okay, you may cost her a good life simply because you want to keep her. It's best to ensure the better decision is made in the interest of the child. However, if he doesn't appear like he could take care of her well enough, then you have no choice but to do it. Is your financial status okay in this area? Keep your heart open. I'm sure you find another guy who will take the best care of you. |

brokenPearl:If you can't keep the baby, you should consider abortion. Pro-lifers here will scream at you, but you should know they'd probably do the same if they were in your situation. Only the person wearing the shoe knows where it hurts. Abort it, raise your other child well. Talk to him about taking responsibility for the child. If he refuses, you might be left with no choice but to do it yourself. However, maintain a positive outlook on life and things will surely turn out positively differently for you. Godspeed. 3 Likes |

IamLEGEND1:Certain things are a no-no on social media. P.orn is one of them. Of course, that should be regulated. So is racism. And every online discussion will surely have some elements of this, and thus should be regulated. I understand your argument (and also like the way you argue, by the way), however I still don't accept that biafra talk should be outrightly banned. Of course, it can be regulated, with the spammers, trolls and haters warned or banned but not the subject itself, which is what Nairaland's owner has done. Discussions about biafra, while it may awake passions and vitriol, is not in itself bad, nor should it be a no-no. That's just all am saying |
