It is not so easy.

It all starts with climate change.

In the long run it may lead to global warming

In the short run it may only lead to a increase of the chance of extreme weather.

Science has not much to do with religion and not much to do with democracy. It is about finding the thruth. What ever that may be. It can not be settled with majority vote or consensus!

Every Job In America, In 1 Graph

There are about 137 million jobs in America. Here's how they break down.

This blows up all mathematical intuition I thought I had developed.

Shawn Cornally posted some neat wonderings in the context of thinking about abstraction. http://shawncornally.com/wordpress/?p=3941 “This question goes like this: If I take a rectangular napkin and fold it so that the diagonally opposite corners touch, what’s the area of the new modern-arty shape? Second, why do I like the shape? (but that may be for another time)”

Hey guys! So for part of my calculus final prject, I asked my teacher if I could create a math meme. So this is Outraged Calculus Kitty! If you guys can think of anything other witty captions, I’m aiming to hand in as many as possible. Drop me a line!

Just please give credit where credit is due. Like here.

Video: ScienceTake: The Physics of Ants

They can flow like a liquid and bounce back like a solid. Masses of fire ants show a duality that intrigues physicists.

State your perceptions unapologetically. That way you and those around you have solid ground to move forward from.

Draw a straight line, and then continue it for the same length but deflected by an angle. If you continue doing this you will eventually return to roughly where you started, having drawn out an approximation to a circle. But what happens if you increase the angle of deflection by a fixed amount at each step? The curve will spiral in on itself as the deflection increases, and then spiral out when the deflection exceeds a half-turn. These spiral flourishes are called Euler spirals. [code]

They’re like perfectly drawn integrals.
