Real world STEM

Engineering and science have reached a pleasant intermingling, stop trying to ruin it. Advances in physics, for instance, are driven by engineering marvels to help detect or produce physics marvels which are then used to refine the engineering concepts which then refine the models, and so on and so forth. Engineers can't build particle accelerators and detectors without physicists, and vice versa.

Yeah except, what do you need so badly? Sure robotics will evolve to be somewhat useful for daily live, lots of medical stuff will happen like artificial organs made from nanoelectrical systems and general prosthetics, also self driving cars and real AI. However, you can still do all of this after a PhD in physics which is both more challenging and intellectually more rewarding. Real life engineering is almost always painfully dull, and most projects fail because people are too autistic to talk with one another, or your stuff not being marketable.

Is this bait?

This mathematics degree don't mean shit. I'm a gardener.

So true.

>BUT PURE MATH IS PURE!

>use to humanity
Stop this meme.

All these grant-chasers leaving out, "that will be of actual use to humanity" part.

Oh yeah there's a shit load we can still learn, but it will mean fuck all to the human race.

That isn't real science.

Spotted the grant-chaser.

Stuff like this harms humanity as a species to a massive degree. It usurps proper evolution and allows invalids and people who would die off before having children to reproduce thereby furthering bad and faulty genetics. Which is great for big pharma of course.

Cancer by-and-large isn't a disease that hits people before they would have kids.

>be microbiology student going into vaccine/antibiotics work
>mfw infinite job prospects due to constant bacterial evolution

Enjoy your dead end jobs cucks

It's short sighted to see that theoretical physicists are studying black holes and quantum mechanics and shit, and conclude that they won't be useful because they seem less concrete. You may as well say that useful science ended with Newton.

As a single example, quantum mechanics is giving rise to quantum computing, which has a ton of potential value. Just like 100 years ago you couldn't have predicted quantum mechanics or its applications, you can't predict what scientists will discover in the next 100 years.

And that's just talking about physics. It should be very obvious that there are still very practical contributions to be made in biology and chemistry.

Mostly because of good health care from birth to adulthood.

A lot of basic science is needed before people can start making drugs.

Cancer Biology has revolutionized the lives of millions of people.

We are talking about the real world ITT, kid.

With poor health care you'd die from other stuff long before you got cancer.

i sure hope not because its going to make it more difficult to get a job with all the competition trying to cash in on the new enginering meme

All heathcare needs to be stopped. It is a detriment to society.

...

>health care having anything to do with cancer

>I agree, only those who were born out of the right vaginas should have access to medical treatment

>technology can't even happen without science
Did you misinterpret the image? Because that's the exact message it is conveying.
Science created the Lego®-brick and engineering used the bricks to build the sport stadium.

Was the bait really a bait if the bait could bait?

>Science of the past has discovered nearly everything humanity will ever discover that will be of actual use to humanity
They said the same after Newton.

thanks for validating my existence as an engineer OP

now excuse me while i lube up, i've got a big week ahead of me

eco-engineering

engineers and scientists need to work together to implement ecologically sustainable or environmentally beneficial aspects into developments that are going to happen regardless

>be maths PhD student
>thought I had infinite jobs available
>actually only have - 1/12 jobs available

You were a maths student

MATHS

How could you not have known that

>Why do the [insert major here] on this board have an inferiority complex?

Engineer here, now shut up and respect your scientist overlords

We haven't discovered 'nearly everything yet, this is just the beginning.

True, but there's next to nothing left that will be useful to humanity. That's the real kicker.
