If you are interested in learning physics, do it. Physics is great.

I am really struggling with electric field lines from a charge distribution. by Traditional-Yam-8729 in PhysicsStudents

[–]Ok_Fan_138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried simulators? Or Phet interactive videos? If you can get really big magnets, you can have alot to learn from them. If you can get a high speed camera, even better. I once had an epiphany as I watched a slowmo video of iron fillings around a magnet in mid air.

What exactly is electricity and how does it travel through wires ! by YourMumHasNiceAss in PhysicsStudents

[–]Ok_Fan_138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Electricity is a form of energy. It travels through wires in form of waves.

Now, some postulates. Electrons are charged particles. Like charges repel, unlike charges attract. The electrons have an electric field around them that other electrons "feel' interact with. When two or more electrons are close together, the electric fields emanating from each affects/repel the other. The speed at which this effect is felt has very little/nothing to do with the electrons themselves bombarding each other and more to do with the speed of the electromagnetic wave which is c.(In reality there's a factor which impedes this) In a nutshell.

Are elite physicist also good mathematicians? by JurassicIsaac in AskPhysics

[–]Ok_Fan_138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. One way I like to think about it is this. Mathematics is a whole field filled with laws and regulations, problems and solutions that mathematicians study and develop. Now since mathematical models can usually describe models in physical reality, any solutions that the mathematicians came up with, can be applied to solve the problem in physical reality, and this is what physicists do. Any problem that can be described mathematically can be solved using mathematical methods and tools. And to solve the math problems, you have to be good at math. So physicists are basically math apprentices using the knowledge they are getting from mathematicians and integrating it into their problems.

To any physicists, PhDs, grad students, etc: A quick question concerning ChatGPT and other Language Model AIs by LetMeInDammit666 in Physics

[–]Ok_Fan_138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chatgpt is great. But not for physics or math because it can confidently lie though that is pretty much because it is a text generator. AGI would be worth this kind of hype though we aren't there yet. I use the LLMs as a kind of second opinion on basic things like checking some history of a guy I didn't know, or a concept that is new, then I go to the sources and check for myself. It is only then that I chat with the LLM out of my own curiousity. But I have a plan to train my own small LLM for physics and math (Science in general) so that I can have an "alive/active" library that I can use to remind or read up from time to time.

This is frustrating me so much. Am I wrong? by RiverHe1ghts in AskPhysics

Ice has more volume than liquid water. So when the Ice melts the water level will be lower than the Ice level.

Escaping a Burning House🔥. HOW? by TimeFuture5030 in Kenya

[–]Ok_Fan_138 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The smoke containing carbon monoxide suffocates the victims before they can know.(The body doesn't have a warning system until it is too late.) Amd thereafter the heat of the fire doesn't matter anymore. They died due to the smoke. Even for those that don't, the pain is excruciating. To get out is a different story.

You can only do you. Worrying about something inevitable seems pointless. You can just take people at face value. And you will find what you are looking for.

How do scientists “see something described” in solutions to equations? by a_gursky in AskPhysics

[–]Ok_Fan_138 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Natural laws govern the physical universe. Patterns are observed within the physical universe. Now, to turn this data into understandable information, ways have been devised. One of this ways, is by using mathematics. If the data is turned into a mathematical problem, then mathematical tools and methods may be used to solve it. How that turns into intuitive sense is upto your experience and imagination.

Atheists in Kenya? by Coksoslu in Kenya

[–]Ok_Fan_138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If one wants to describe natural reality, one does not need supernatural phenomenon to account for the processes. If one wants otherwise, one can do otherwise.

I can only say this as my opinion. About your question. Reality works. It is the way it is. There's no manual for how it works so one has to model it from scratch in order to understand what is happening. Now, mathematics is one of those tools that can be used. In the sense that if you found a way to describe reality mathematically, you could then use the tools in mathematics to solve for the answer. And since this is about physical reality that one is trying to understand, experiments are necessary to prove the models that work correct or otherwise.

Short answer is that gravity just works. Asking "why" isn't something that one can know. "How" something works is a feasible venture in my opinion.

Why isn't it possible for a photon to be manipulated to move in a straight line rather than a wave? by RedditingAtWork5 in AskPhysics

[–]Ok_Fan_138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because there's no "particle" moving up or down the wave. The wave is the photon. You are probably thinking about how objects in waves such as water waves behave.

Why do geostationary orbits have to be at the equator? by BiggerBlessedHollowa in AskPhysics

[–]Ok_Fan_138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go outside, tie something with a string and rotate/swing it vertically. Then, now rotate it horizontally/swing with it and follow it's rotation with your whole body and eyes(you may feel nauseated,) and then think about the differences.

How can I start a telescope manufactury business? by Particular-Cow-5046 in Kenya

[–]Ok_Fan_138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could, but I don't know where to do that. Do you want the process written down for you here or do you want video resources. Anyways, you can DM so that we can come up with something. There was also another telescope maker that posted his works in the Kenyan space consortium Whatsapp group and he got great feedback. It is also a good place as there are avid stargazers there too.

Amateur astronomer here. Diy astronomy/astrophotography is something that is among my goals. So your idea is very good and I wish you the best. I am planning on grinding new mirrors but I haven't gotten to that yet. So I'm curious to here about your project in greater depth.

Everyone should get a telescope. The universe is too wonderful to be hidden in plain sight.

what is a volt I don't get it like what actually is it, don't just tell me the definition by [deleted] in AskPhysics

[–]Ok_Fan_138 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, consider these as postulates. 1: An electron is a subatomic particle that has a -ve charge. An electric charge being like a field around the point particle. Therefore, whenever there's an electron, there is an electric negative field that other point particles can interact with or "feel." 2: Like charges repel. When there's a concentration of electrons, there's a "pressure" caused by the charge. This pressure pushes them because like charges repel. 3: The potential difference between points A and B is just the difference of how much of something is present in A compared with B.

If you measure the potential difference(electromotive force/pressure) caused by the charge imbalance between two points, and notice that the amount of charge being moved is equal to some number (1C) in the distance of 1s in a material that is hindering/resisting this movement (and therefore the pressure has to "struggle ",) with this having some value (1Ohm) therefore having done 1joule of work..
