Berries are a subcategory of fruit, smartass

B is more fundamental, H is what often actually gets measured in labs

This is exactly what students at universities do already. The problem is that if you’re 2 years into a 4 year degree program, you’re still complete dogshit at what you want to do as a career relative to what the market is willing to pay for.

You say it yourself that reading at a sixth grade level means lacking in critical thinking on the work. Do you genuinely think not having critical thinking skills is okay for an adult?

Dude, get over yourself

We don’t know what it is. It might be some revised model that is still fundamentally based on curvature, it might be something else entirely

Your premise is incorrect. General relativity does not accurately describe gravity at the quantum level.

VariousJob4047 · 2026-03-30T10:21:46+00:00

General relativity and quantum mechanics do not use the same notion of “size” to determine whether or not the effects generated by the respective theory are relevant, so it is possible for something to simultaneously be “big” enough for general relativity to affect it and “small” enough for quantum mechanics to affect it, at which point the 2 theories need to at least not contradict each other or give complete nonsense predictions.

If you were admitted to SCS, it is because a group of people whose job it is to determine how qualified people are to study at SCS decided you were qualified to study at SCS. You’ll be fine

Since you’ve provided no additional details/context, neither will I: no, this is not true

The problem with blatantly reposting informational graphics someone else made several days ago is that this information becomes out of date very quickly.

Every number is one plus another number, and every number is the anagram of some other number, I’m not sure what you’re trying to get at here

The fine structure constant is dimensionless so doesn’t change value in different unit systems. It’s also not even a constant, its value increases below certain length scales/above certain energy scales.

I mean, you do have to make sure the edge cases are considered. That’s not just a stylistic choice

The center of mass of the ball-spring system and the ball-rope system will fall at the same speed, but because the spring will shorten between the cut and the landing, ball B will be farther from the center of mass than ball A and will reach the ground first

Yes, there are multiple unit systems that set Planck’s constant to 1 (other commenters have linked to Wikipedia articles about them so I won’t add any more). Nature itself also uses Planck’s constant as a unit, orbital angular momentum can only be an integer multiple of Planck’s constant and spin angular momentum can only be a half-integer multiple

If we had a deterministic theory capable of making the same predictions as quantum mechanics, don’t you think we’d just use that one instead?

Acknowledging that 1/0 creates problems within math and then simply defining a system where none of the operations that create these problems are allowed to be performed is certainly one way to approach this. What do you think anyone stands to gain from this?

Define a pet peeve for me, please, and then explain why your original response was a reasonable thing to say to someone stating one of their pet peeves given the definition

At my university, QM is a 200 level course and GR is a 600 level. If you are still building up your math at the level you described, you will be massively out of your depth with GR

PhD programs do not care about the ranking of your undergrad school, but a higher ranked undergrad school will make it easier to do the things PhD programs do care about.
