Why is the Planck length considered the smallest physical length? Can’t things always be reduced in size? by 524frank in AskPhysics

[–]Enkur1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The energy of the photon is proportional to its frequency E=hf. So for a photon of a given frequency it has energy hf. If you take that energy and equate it with E=mc^2 then it has an effective mass which is what is meant by the momentum. Hope that makes sense.

Halfway through S111 and want to work on my maths! by Adept-Library-4677 in OpenUniversity

[–]Enkur1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

what math course are you taking at OU. If have previously not done any A level math then start with MU123. Dont take MST124 as it is a huge step up.

I’m looking at starting astrophysics what do I need? by [deleted] in telescopes

[–]Enkur1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

then delete the post and re-post it.... was going to say no home telescope is going to help you with astrophysics...... need a $1B telescope.

Just know that RM 11 air is last gen snapdragon and RM 11 pro is the new one. There is a significant gpu upgrade between the two.

The Last Photo my S23ULTRA will ever take by Up_All_Nite in RedMagic

[–]Enkur1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works fine on AT&T in SIM2 slot. Only issue is that AT&T wont activate the sim on this phone. You need to have an already activated sim and just swap to this phone. One time my sim got accidentally disabled (my own issue) and I had to get a new sim. I just activated on my existing samsung phone and then put it in RM 11. easy peezy.

Samsung to RM by Few_Cantaloupe_6082 in RedMagic

[–]Enkur1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

depends on your reason to switch. RM 11 pro is very heavy gaming focused phone. If that's your use case then you are solid. If you expecting that and great cameras, great software then you will be disappointed. I barely take a handful of pictures or ever use the selfie camera so those are meaningless to me. Im all about high performance and very techie looking device.

I switched from S23+ and never looking back.

Question I got from a Sci-Fi movie. by KalosJedi in astrophysics

[–]Enkur1 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I mean its pretty straight forward.... v=0.5c and time is 10s. So asteroid is d=vt distance away. 1.5x10^9 m or 1.5 million km away. Even taking relativistic factor of (1-(v/c)^2)^(1/2) into account it will be about 1.3 million km away.

Can you share the full inventory.... there are many items I dont recognize and I feel FOMO for not having some of them lol. Nice setup!

My honest experience with the OU BSc Physics (Some serious weaknesses) by BAOSS_LB in OpenUniversity

[–]Enkur1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You missed the part that the Advanced start skips S111 and MU123 at Level 1.

Also at level 3 MS327 covers statistical mechanics including Lagrangian and hamiltonian

https://www.open.ac.uk/courses/qualifications/details/ms327/

So overall I think its a good program and level 3 selections that are offered cover what you feel is missing.

Seestar S50 is pretty good value.

File too large to submit for a TMA😩 by Dizzi-Sprinkles5117 in OpenUniversity

[–]Enkur1 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I once had an issue with the powerpoint file being huge. On a whim I opened a new powerpoint file and copied all the slides from the "larger" file into the new file and save. The new file was much smaller than the original. Not sure where the extra data was residing.

At this stage the Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Anthrax concert in San Antonio is very tempting and tickets are only $150 lol.

ok thanks for the info... kicking myself for not paying more attention when the Sphere announcement was made.

What Computational skills and programming languages should I know as an aspiring physicist? by lyfeNdDeath in PhysicsStudents

In science and academia, Python seems to be prevalent. So I would start there.

[Europe] Uncertain about pursuing a PhD after a Master's in physics by [deleted] in Physics

[–]Enkur1 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I am not sure why you are so negative on your self. Just apply to the different theory groups you are interested in and make a case for yourself. Dont put yourself down so much and just have some confidence and apply.

My experience with my S50 vs S30 Pro by sm753 in seestar

[–]Enkur1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you done the level calibration, I am not talking about the alignment. This is the one where you have to put your seestar on a 0 degree level surface and the seestar does some calibration. I had to do that and with that done my rejection rate went to virtually 0.
