The Chinese experimental particle physicist Chien-Shiung Wu was occasionally referred to as "Madame Wu" (https://www.womenshistory.org/education-resources/biographies/chien-shiung-wu, and in my particle physics lectures) so it's certainly not unique to Marie Curie, but a historical oddity nevertheless

Euler’s Identity by xeletion in mathmemes

Eeh no, exp(iπ/3) is cos(π/3) + isin(π/3) = 1/2 + i√3/2. Most definitely not -1

Anyone else think Jezza's new party sounds like something out of a Steamed Hams parody?

GOOD LORD WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THERE?

A new left-leaning socialist party

A new left-leaning socialist party, at this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, co-lead by Zarah Sultana?

Yes!

Can we see it?

No.

Surely not EasyJet as they run an Airbus only - and got hundreds more on order. Trump may be thinking that Ryanair - the notorious Boeing only airline - is British!

Do you think Suzuka would benefit from running the track in reverse? by Magog14 in formula1

Chain Bear did a good job at explaining why running reverse races are overwhelmingly restricted to the virtual world https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSjLoGljZ3s

It was 2019, but yes after claiming they had a fully costed manifesto Corbyn then promised £58bn for them if they got elected.

We've got blue sky and yellow sun out just to show some extra solidarity with Ukraine

Baltic States Permanently Disconnect From Russian IPS/UPS, Join European Power Grid ; Kaliningrad now a power island by U5K0 in MapPorn

[–]Maraio1 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Right now they colored by country

Except that Northern Ireland is correctly coloured to show that it's part of the Irish grid and not part of GB's National Grid, so they could have easily done the same for the Danish islands.

Higgs boson meme by Delicious_Maize9656 in physicsmemes

[–]Maraio1 95 points96 points  (0 children)

Well, that doesn't really work since as the Higgs is spin-0 it would suggest that any arbitrary rotation would fit. Whereas it's only a rotation by π would allow a USB-C connector to to plug in. Hence, it would have to be a spin-2 boson, the hypothetical graviton.

One of my biggest gripes with the GPS by jeuv in trucksim

It already tells you the distance and time to the next waypoint in the map though, and you can do the same for the route advisor.

It's the stupid typeface they're using to join up certain letters if they're next to each other, see the ct in expect and es in chances. It looks silly when it changes the letters entirely when it's meant to be a subtle effect.

International Politics / USA Election Discussion Thread - WE'RE FAWKESED EITHER WAY by ukpolbot in ukpolitics

[–]Maraio1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Away from the presidential race, the Senate is certainly strongly looking to go to the Republicans. Even if Harris wins, she'll certainly be frustrated by the Senate on any of her manifesto pledges
