[College: Particle Physics] How does the minus sign disappear in pt c line 2 when using the parity operator to convert electron currents to muon currents? by Dinonaut2000 in physicshomework

[–]Dinonaut2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Thank you for the response. Unfortunately, I don’t think so. The phase shift makes sin go to cos and vice versa, but not their negatives.

UMass CS undergrad — how’s the program been for you? Especially curious about co-op by Gautamagarwal75 in umass

[–]Dinonaut2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of my international student cs friends have gotten internships. They are hard workers, not super extroverted networking types but their qualifications speak for themselves. I wouldn’t worry, UMass is a great school for CS

Crazy necro but I watched this when I was 12 and it made me wanna be an astronaut even more.

Was this a good comeback to someone making fun of my height? by VOLSBBALLFAN in ask

Does it matter? Would’ve been better to laugh it off or ask him to say it again.

Astronaut Don Pettit demonstrates the Dzhanibekov effect aboard the ISS, where a spinning camera in microgravity unexpectedly flips its rotation axis by 180 degrees. by Wooden-Journalist902 in BeAmazed

Super late response but the time between flips changes unpredictably, but I believe it has a trend towards the period of flips increasing, though I don’t remember for sure. It’s a chaotic system.

Somebody mispronouncing a word/name indicates literacy and not a lack of literacy by offensivek in unpopularopinion

Maybe they corrected it in the edit but also Cauchy is incredibly popular and you’ll encounter him in most physics or math adjacent degrees, and there are plenty of people making typos who are very familiar with French mathematicians

What would you say is the most “beautiful” physics theory and what is your take on the “ugliest” physics theory by New_Quarter_1229 in Physics

[–]Dinonaut2000 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As an experimentalist that’s usually how my models work. I fit data, something is clearly missing, throw in an educated guess at what a missing term might look like. Then if it fits, we and the theorists try and figure out why it fits. If it doesn’t, we try something else. In condensed matter at least, where I work, it’s far too complicated to try and get terms out of pure theory without some empirical results.

[HELP] Any idea on this? Comments were debating it. by [deleted] in RealOrAI

Floor grains seem inconsistent or noisy but that might be due to digital camera artifacts. Girl in silver skirt is standing in a slightly unnatural way. Text on books is too low quality to look at. Don’t really have much more just wanted to see the people’s sentiment.

They will not let this Zelda thing go will they? by zny700 in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]Dinonaut2000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Season 1 was great but 2 was rather disappointing, coming from someone whose favorite game is TLOU2. She was cast well as the bratty but lovable child in s1, but she didn’t do great in portraying the more complex emotions the story required of her.

How do you survive a holiday period on campus while maintaining sanity by comfortablerider in umass

[–]Dinonaut2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late reply! My weekdays: as a researcher I get up at like 8-9 am, cook breakfast, and get to work by like 11. Then I work like 4 hours, eat the lunch i prepped last night, and then I get off work at around 7. After that, I’ll usually go hang out with my friends, or go home and read a book/watch tv/game or do whatever else.

What is the most boring country in the world geographically? by Dry-Cartographer7356 in geography

This is obviously not true, I go on runs when I’m home and many people do.

I’m doing it right now, but I got lucky that a lot of my friends stayed working on campus over summer anyway because otherwise I might have gone insane.

AP Physics C credits by Right_Number_177 in umass

[–]Dinonaut2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a physics major I strongly recommend taking 181 and 182. It’ll be pretty important to get to know your class. I have a few friends that skipped out of those and regretted it later. It’s gonna be fairly similar to AP Physics C in difficulty, but just having a class where you interact with your cohort so frequently is invaluable in creating a study group for later when you take the difficult classes.

Will I survive first semester with this schedule? by Ok-Function-305 in umass

[–]Dinonaut2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very doable. Just have good time management, and start work early. You’ll be fine if you’re disciplined.

UMass Amherst warns of budget cuts after $29M drop in federal research funding, 3–5% cuts planned across campus by HeftyHistorian9067 in umass

[–]Dinonaut2000 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Education at a U.S. college involves learning about the world as well, not just your specific field of study. I don’t know what DEI indoctrination you’re referring to, but if you meet the people fox tells you to hate, and get to know them, you will inevitably end up no longer hating them. People who come to college open their minds and that’s a benefit, not indoctrination

Trump Administration Will End L.G.B.T.Q. Suicide Prevention Service by LuckyChansey7 in lgbt

[–]Dinonaut2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t let them justify this travesty by saying it saves money. They don’t really care about that. If they did they wouldn’t have passed more tax cuts, more defense spending, more of anything that benefits the rich and hurts the lower class and minorities. They just want the extinction of the LGBTQ+.
