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.

But Geiger counters aren't rhythmic at all, radioactive decay is, pretty famously, random.

True, much like memes are pretty famously fabricated.

Rhythmic? No, not really. More exciting if the musician could somehow anticipate this fundamentally unpredictable event? Absolutely.

Follows a Poisson distribution. I guess one could call that random.

Well, its random, like... by definition.
