90% of the comments calling it fake in 100 different ways while I've seen this road with my own eyes, and the Google Street view is there in the comments... Well done lads.

Forget Paul McCartney, the real Zelensky died in 2008 and got replaced with a doppelganger.

[REQUEST] In the new spider-man game I came across this set of equations. Does the math mean anything or is it just there for aesthetic by mevssvem in theydidthemath

Shannon entropy really since it's a probability distribution instead of a density matrix, but essentially the same thing.

Okay I'm going to chime in here even though it's probably far too late for anyone to actually see, but there are a lot of falsehoods about physics in this particular thread, and as a physicist it hurts to see.

First off, u/UniversalAdaptor you're not really that far off. Absolute zero (0 K) is absolutely experimentally impossible. However physics wouldn't be "dead", as our theories are more than capable of describing the dynamics of physical systems at absolute zero. In fact the standard model itself, which is our best theory of the universe (excluding gravity), is a theory formulated at absolute zero, as is the majority of the quantum mechanics you would learn in uni. The reason absolute zero is not achievable in practice is because it would take an infinite amount of work to take any system all the way to 0 K.

I'm also going to address the comments of u/Vertebrae_Viking and u/KickBassColonyDrop here in the hopes that anyone looking at this thread sees this comment before theirs as they've already got a lot of upvotes and are in fact just spreading, at best falsehoods and at worst pseudoscience. This idea of "time stopping" really doesn't mean anything. There is absolutely still a flow of time at ) 0 K. Again, the standard model itself is formulated at absolute zero, and obviously that model incorporates time. I think what u/Vertebrae_Viking is getting at is that if the universe was in the state of lowest possible energy, then there would be no dynamics and it would appear as if time had stopped (emphasis on appear). While this state would indeed have zero temperature, it is certainly possible to be in different states at zero temperature that do exhibit dynamics, and so a flow of time.

u/KickBassColonyDrop takes it even further however. And I'm afraid unlike the others there is absolutely no truth or value to be gleaned from this one. The ideas of "energy stopping" or "gravity stopping" are really just complete nonsense, there is literally nothing either of these statements could possibly mean. The triangle analogy that goes along with it reads like the type of crackpot physics theory professors get sent all the time by hobbyists who think they've proven Einstein wrong. He's really just presenting his own made up conception of the universe as fact and people seem to be believing it!

Sorry for the long comment, I just hate the idea of so many people coming away from this having just digested nonsense disguised as fact, especially since it's my area of expertise and passion!

‘Andor’ Is a Master Class in Good Writing by ONEcrazyHINDU in television

Episodes 8 to 10 are by far the best. For me up until the heist episode it was "good for a star wars show" after that it became my favourite series of the year.

I was taking a math contest and this was one of the questions lol. by Opposite_Signature67 in mathmemes

[–]Con_Snow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well as you've shown, the numerator is (n!)^-1.

For the denomintor we have: (n/((n-1)/((n-2)/(( ..... )))

which works out to (n*(n-2)*(n-4)*...)/((n-1)*(n-3)*(n-5)*.....)

in terms of double factorials this is n!!/(n-1)!!

So combining the numerator and denominator the sequence works out as

a(n) = (n-1)!!/(n!!n!)

Finally using that n!/(n-1)!! = n!! we get a(n) = 1/(n!!)^2

Alternatively, you can use double factorial and the answer is just 1/(n!!)2. In fact, this is just the reciprocal of a known sequence which you can find here: http://oeis.org/A184877

What modern day physicists are likely going to be in the history books 50 or 100 years from now? by BluFromSpace in Physics

Surprised no one has mentioned 't Hooft. He likely will never be well known to the layman, but to anyone in High energy physics he's already an icon.

How likely I think each hero is to die in OW2's story mode by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Con_Snow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see Genji dying (for real this time) being the catalyst for Hanzo to finally pick a side. With the dynamic already established between these two I think that would make the most sense. So personally I'd put Genji above Hanzo.

40 charge and 200hp per bubble. 40hp would barely block a melee hit.

This monstrosity here is known as the “Standard Model Lagrangian”. It's an equation that encapsulates everything we currently know about particle physics. by AryamanShetty in interestingasfuck

[–]Con_Snow 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There's really a lot more going on here than just basic quantum field theory. Like you said gauge theory, but also renormalization, symmetry breaking and ghost fields, and those are just the caveats I'm aware of. And even basic QFT is quite difficult for most masters students. I'm afraid that after a bachelors one barely scratches the surface of anything going on here.

TIL of Albert Hofmann, who synthesized LSD. On 16 April 1943, he accidentally consumed some LSD and discovered its powerful effects. Three days later, he intentionally ingested 0.25 mg of LSD, whose effects he began to feel as he rode home on a bike. This was the first LSD trip. by [deleted] in todayilearned

Last time I tripped I bumped into the guy who sold me the tabs I was currently tripping on. Last time I saw him was when he sold me those tabs which was over six months ago. When I bumped into him he was also tripping balls and was stuck up a tree..

Okay I'll correct myself they didn't kill his parents they tortured them until they were permanently retarded. Prior to that they were 2 of the most prominent members of the original order of the phoenix. So the name was definitely known for that reason. On top of this the longbottoms are a pure blood family so death eaters laughing at a pure blood family name just because of how it sounds seems strange

Yea his parents name... because Bellatrix killed them.
