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.

I like stationary stuff and this set is intriguing

The actual containment methods are programming a script to do the calculations. Some calculations take thousands of smaller steps that you would lose your mind doing. Finite Element Analysis comes to mind. The number of nodes one might use for FEA today would make doing the calculations by hand mind numbing.

I’m not a nuclear guy or anything, but suit and containment unit? Seems unnecessary and would make the hands very unwieldy through 2 pairs of gloves.

But what if it reaches critical math? Can't be too careful.

math requires it, the risk is just too high

Can't take any chances. One missed parentheses and the universe implodes

Suits are to keep you safe, glove boxes are to keep the things inside them safe. Also never seen them used together though, you're right about that.
