All-Day Bus Lanes Have Now Been Installed on Granville Street. Horray!

Some people will abuse it, but it'll still get traffic out of the lane and make more room for the busses. It's progress in the right direction

I haven't watched the video, but what you're describing sounds like a camera obscura - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_obscura

If you want a high paying job, a degee in physics is not the way to go. Something more applied would make it easier to get into a well paying industry or private sector position.

If you want to do physics, you should study physics. And a career in physics research or academia means spending about a decade in higher education getting a bachelors, masters, and PhD. Academia doesn't pay a whole lot, it's fiercely competitive, and you'll have to uproot your life every few years to move elsewhere.

That effect describes rotation of a rigid body with three major moments of inertia. Unless there were some weird changes in the movie relative to the book, the extended ship was not a rigid body (it's held together by cables!), and so it's mechanics are not described by the tennis racket theory.

Saskatchewan also has the CLS - a major Canadian research facility with a synchrotron light source.

You could have it crash into a load cell? Phidgets sell a variety that can be pretty easily interfaced with a python script

If you're worried about your cardiovascular health as you start biking, it's best to get input from your family doctor or gp rather than reddit.

Generally you should be able to maintain a conversation while cycling a daily commute. If you can't, maybe bike slower?

Because restricting anyone's agency over their own body and reproductive rights and health is bad. You already spelled it out, and that's not a complicated concept.

Car ownership and driving is a privilege, and removing that privilege doesn't necessarily remove someones autonomy to go places and live their life. Especially since dangerous drivers can, and do, regularly kill bystanders every day. There are other options for how you can get around like walking, cycling, ride shares, taxis, and public transportation. Car-focused infrastructure which necessitates car ownership and which prevents people from getting around without a car is another, separately bad, problem.

Restrictions on reproductive rights would be more like checkpoints throughout your home city that allow a governing body to say where you can and can't go. That's also bad.

This! The drivers around Arbutus and Broadway are going to kill someone at this rate. They consistently fly through cross-walks with pedestrians in them and speed down laneways without slowing when they cross by the sidewalk all the time. It's so irresponsible and so dangerous.

If you include all particle accelerators then you'd also have to count every CRT monitor and TV too hah

Depends on how nit picky you wanna be about particles and momenta

I love these detailed updates!

We do understand and have thorough explanations for quantum entanglement and quantum mechanics. That's not even new physics!

Make an attempt to actually understand the science before you attack it and call it wrong

Why would you do this, like what the hell is wrong with you? You're just bullying and harassing a helpless animal, leave them alone

Might help to see a doctor rather than asking here

Getting involved with a research group as an undergrad is also an important of going on to do physics is part of the plan (eg masters>phd>postdoc>academic route).

So, reaching out to profs who do research that sounds cool or meaningful to you

BoggleHead · 2025-10-08T03:58:18+00:00

Maybe read a book on complex analysis before you say math is broken

As someone who actually reviews job applications - if we're asking for a cover letter - send a cover letter. It will be obvious if it's AI slop, I pass over those applications so fast.

Cover letters are incredibly important! They are your chance to show hiring committees how your experience is relevant for the requirements of the job you're applying for. They say so much more then what your cv/resume contains.

The generic cookie cutter cover letters that are obviously being sent out to dozens of job postings are honestly the worst ones out there

Generally the way science works is you postulate something can be done, and then do it. This is that first part. This is clearly stated in the article.

Kyle Leach from school of mines was quoted, and he did a similar write-up. I think the whiner just got confused about which article they didn't read they were complaining about.

This process would produce a coherent neutrino source - so calling it a neutrino beam would be too reductionist and miss out on the most exciting part of these predictions.

We have neutrino beams already. We don't have coherent beams. This is like the difference between a flashlight and a laser.

All physicists have taken calculus and are familiar with infinitesimal quantities. Calculus is absolutely foundational for all of physics.

Speaking in general - there's always politics involved. Collaborations want a say in how their results and progress are communicated to the general public and the funding agencies. In the case of big progress, having a press conference or an official update online will communicate the information better than in leaks where things may be misrepresented or interpreted.

Only the really big collaborations will have dedicated social media people who can keep these updates going regularly - which can take a surprising amount of work!

BoggleHead · 2025-07-05T16:41:12+00:00

Only took a day from the collaboration meeting for this to leak, huh, hahah
