Saw some podcast where someone claimed that because of the idea of fallibility in science, you can never put your faith in scientific reasoning because there is always a chance the theory is wrong.
Is this true to you, or is this a huge stretch of mental gymnastics?

Just got a new job, former practically NEET retard here. To cut it short, I got a job as an Analytical Development in a big pharma company in my cunt. Only paid pennies during probation, but I digress. My supervisor tasked me with creating a set of procedure to analyze the dissolution profile of a drug the lab is developing and also a preservatives efficacy test for a beverage the lab is developing. The former is still within the scope of my experiece and knowledge as a chemist (albeit I am surprised by the adherence fo pharmacist to compendial literature rather than just scientific literature), but the latter is entirely alien to me.
I managed to familiarize myself with the industry's terminology and practices (theoretically that is), enough to fool people that I am familiar with pharmacist practices in conversation at least. Anyway I digress. I now have a rather solid idea of the procedure needed to run these tests. But little idea on how to propelry organize them and there are scant few resources available online. Also I'm working in a RnD lab, there already exist a seperate analytical development lab, but my supervisor decided to give me this job, and she herself doesn't seem to realize the full scope of it. Pic unrelated, need to post something fast since my supervisor is right beside me.
I think this is my last chance of escaping NEETdom, you are preventing a gamer moment by giving a good response to this thread. Thank you for your time faggots.

Aren't electric cars counterintuitive? Going from chemical to mechanical energy saves more energy than going from chemical to electrical to mechanical energy.

Why can't mathematical proofs be developed rationally or algorithmically? Speaking about non-trivial stuff that you win nobel prizes for. Things like solving the 3-body problem. It seems problems of that nature are always handled by someone's intuition for the problem domain, rather than reasoning about it from first principles. Why?

I just made this meme. I don't know if this is /sci/, /x/, or philosophy (/his/) but I'm posting it in all three. Anyone who is based and smart enough will understand the dilemma this question poses. Which future will bring man his ultimate purpose ā maximum bliss for all of eternity? The rainbow body is said to be blissful, immortal, and indestructible/irreversible, however on the flip side zero-point energy has been invented by aliens billions of years ago, is used by our own government in secret and kept from the masses, and can be used to live as a computer-being literally forever. To do this, one uses a portion of that unbelievably massive amount of energy in the zero-point field (estimated 10^40 to 10^50 watts per cubic meter of space) to not only run computers (which you will be uploaded to experiencing the maximum bliss the laws of physics will allow with no bad side effects), but also to expel waste heat into the infinite void of space around you as your eternal dumping ground. The more space you expand into, the more energy you have, which you can just convert into matter if there's too much competition for matter already (there's much more energy in the zero-point field than in all matter anyway but matter is like an extra bonus). So instead of a matryoshka brain, think about a computer that runs off the incredibly more high-energy zero-point field that keeps spreading in space, converting energy it extracts from this field into matter to make more computer substrate, all of which is feeding your consciousness pure pleasure. Add in exponentially improving IQ because why not, and you can exponentially increase in size, exponentially increasing your bliss. Frankly, I don't know why this hasn't been done already since I believe aliens are billions of years old, but I don't see why it can't work. This or the rainbow body is the highest hedonic state I know of, and I see no other reason to aim for anything other than one of these two goals.

Why is nuclear not popular, other than chrnobyl-tier psyops? It's not safe. Can be placed in areas far from humans, and from what I understand its waste can be recycled to generate more energy in reactors--thus smallish amounts of Plutonium can generate large amounts of energy. It can also be turned on or off as required to feed into the grid whereas things like solar panels require battery storage or the energy is basically wasted. So what's the downside? Why is it not more common? I've seen charts saying the cost per terrawatt is akin to renewables which, to me, makes no sense. Also, isn't the fact you only need one reactor to generate immense power beneficial as you can build one and turn out a lot of power at will without requiring hundreds of solar farms or windmills?
Why are places like China making a lot more of them, but places in Europe closing them? I understand there is a political aspect, but China is making quite a lot of them.

Got feedback I need to work on my mathematical modeling. I dont even know what this is really, which I thought was constructing formula/functions but now Im not even sure, or where to get started. Help. I would greatly appreciate any resources on this to formally pick up this skill.

Haven't touched physics in two years since I had to drop out of my degree. Kinda miss the intellectual rush of studying. Any good book recs? Not looking for a dry textbook, but Iām fine with advanced math.
