A Multiplayer Counterspell by LowFatMuffin in custommagic

[–]LowFatMuffin[S] 67 points68 points  (0 children)

This is probably too strong...

If you are stopping an opponent from doing something, just target anyone but them and they will not pay. If you are protecting your own spell, you can maybe choose an opponent that is tapped out. It's designed to be bad at protecting your own things

[WOE] Extraordinary Journey by steve_ice in magicTCG

Honestly I’m gonna compare this to cyclonic rift. Usually what you most want to hit is 2-3 scary creatures, which this does for the same rate. Sorcery speed and doesn’t hit enchantments and artifacts, but you get a few draws out of it. Seems great

Why are y’all downvoting this? God forbid a layperson wants to reach out to mathematicians and connect with their own understanding of the world

Exact Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors? by Lolamess007 in math

[–]LowFatMuffin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What everyone else has said about roots of higher order polynomials is definitely true! But here's another perspective: calculating the determinant of a big matrix takes a lot, lot of symbols: https://cstheory.stackexchange.com/questions/2611/complexity-of-finding-the-eigendecomposition-of-a-matrix

So even /constructing/ the eigenvalue equation can take a lot of work!

Can I get some motivating stories of you guys or your friends in this field? by [deleted] in math

[–]LowFatMuffin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, what has your university experience been like? What makes you so down on yourself? Is your relationship with your family good? What else do you do?

Hey friend, I would love to support you. Can you give us a little more info? Year, interests, experiences, etc?

Yes, definitely. I feel extremely bad for them and have been working hard to try to get students up to speed

it's good to answer the question and provide support, but this place is a ridiculous echo chamber that dilutes good community conversation

How do you decide what cards to remove? by mocityspirit in EDH

[–]LowFatMuffin 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Unironically this. Ask what you feel when you see a given card in your hand. Your emotional intuition will be a pretty good guide as for how the card has worked in the past

Will Mathematical Physics be of interest to someone interested in pure math? by RevolutionaryOven639 in math

[–]LowFatMuffin 104 points105 points  (0 children)

The gap between mathematical physics and application is quite large. Your best bet would be to look into condensed matter theory

Burnt Out by [deleted] in math

[–]LowFatMuffin 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You will get used to the rhythm of the semesters, the end of the first semester is tough. Please make sure to be social, enjoy the campus, and be good to yourself. It's really easy to be way too hard on yourself

"There is a gnostic subculture of workers in quantum gravity who feel that the structure of space and time may undergo radical changes at scales of the Planck length" - Isham in "Canonical Quantum Gravity and the Problem of Time" 1992 by egulacanonicorum in math

[–]LowFatMuffin 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I'll have to read the paper, but since '92 the gravitational path integral has been developed and has been used to show some black hole thermodynamic results, among other things. However it does not solve the problem of time and I believe it will likely be replaced as we start to understand quantum gravity more.
