Tumblr staff: ten options is enough for polls, right? No one needs more than that on a regular basis. The average tumblr user: Hey guys which element of the periodic table do you think is the most fuckable?

i love pictures of the international space station which are just completely overexposed because that is just.. unequivocally an angel.

Yeah I have tumble friends *likes mutuals post* see we are communicating

“Noether” is such an absurdly perfect name for a scientist involved with relativity

if you're interested in astronomy/cosmology but aren't really math savvy i really recommend this review on the history of the dark matter problem. it's really accessible for the most part, and you will be able to understand why physicists will say with a straight face that only about 5% of the universe is detectable

system of mathematical notation where concatenation always means multiplication and each prime number has a unique one digit symbol. so counting to ten looks like "2, 3, 22, 5, 23, 7, 222, 33, 25". the advantages of this system would be making multiplication and division trivial, as well as accurately representing the true form and identity of every positive integer according to the fundamental theorem of arithmetic. the disadvantages to this system would be everything

i love thermodynamics because its like no…. my toaster waffle did not get cold… it simply tried to warm this big cold world all by its little self… her heat was given… and she asked for NOTHING in return … ;_;

math rant, sorry

i genuinely think that math hating is a learned social behavior. you have to hate it to be relatable, otherwise you're a nerd - and not the eccentric fun kind of science nerd. also there is this assumption that if you're not naturally good at it, you shouldn't even try, which doesn't really exist for other subjects. like, students won't mind writing an essay, or doing arts, even if they're not amazing at it, but doing math when they might fail is somehow torture.

all these memes like "pythagoras is useless irl" and "satan put the alphabet in math" read to me like "the curtains were blue cause they were blue!!>:(" bs, but receive way less criticism online. do people even agree with the memes, or is it just herd mentality? cause honestly, why is math more useless than anything else we learn in school? why is saying "x-2=4" more evil than saying "what minus two equals four"?

of course, math people with low self esteem and condescending auras are also to blame for making math unappealing, as well as math teachers with no social skills lol. but the overall meme-ability of math hating sure is not helping, cause kids go into school with the expectation that math will be hard and they won't enjoy it
