Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.



Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

A planet with an investment chart for a pole. WHY.

sine waves aren't strictly an investment thing, they are more of a general math thing and can be used to model a wide variety of stuff (in this case this graph is for investing, but for example it comes up in physics a lot)

Keep going.... Sine waves are not an investment thing. They're a math thing that can be usefully applied to some things (eg. physics) or poorly applied to almost anything (eg. finance/econ).

Here's a better visualization from Minute Physics how these "wave" patterns can make geometric shapes, using the fact that Earth's moon doesn't make a smooth circle around the sun.
