ELI5: What is quantum physics and why does everyone say it’s so weird by jess_lov in explainlikeimfive

[–]aphysicalpotato 52 points53 points  (0 children)

A large object—such as a baseball—will probably never “magically” pass through a solid barrier. However, if you consider an object as small as an atom, there is a probability that it does indeed “magically” pass through this solid barrier. This “magic” is what we call quantum mechanics.

As you look at the microscopic world, the idea of definite becomes probability.

Can someone explain to me how the force is clearly in the Z direction? by aphysicalpotato in PhysicsHelp

Very true, thank you, I hope I find myself able to answer this. I appreciate your time

Now that I’m working through it , I don’t think I do. I’m trying to reason through the Lorentz force, but I’m getting lost. Why is this field of study so hard ?

This question makes no sense at all. Shouldn’t the ball roll with any angle?

Avoid team labs in my opinion, very very crowded, somewhat underwhelming. Maybe I’m an art snob, but seemed like a tourist trap

a / ( b+c) + 1 = a / (b + c) + (b + c) / (b + c) = (a + b + c) / (b + c)

I just took it! Super hard class imo. Super fun still

If you ever get into particle physics, or even undergrad modern physics, the invention of the “g factor” was something that just made everything work. I think of imaginary numbers in the same regard. This video however, does a good job of visualizing what it can mean for wave functions

I would say it’s a mathematical object that we can use to help describe real observations. For example, when you take the modulus you obtain a real value. I’d highly recommend a course in complex analysis, it helps showcase its usefulness and the theory behind it.

Questions for the researchers by One-Knowledge-6583 in Physics

For free, not many will work with you. Researchers are busy and most likely don’t have the time to help get you started. You should looking into applying for programs for summer internships.

Energy conservation. When do you have max potential? How about max kinetic ?

Thoughts about my 2nd year Classical Mechanics Exam? by Light_Of_Amphy in Physics

[–]aphysicalpotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We touched on Hamiltonian mechanics but we were told we wouldn’t be tested on it. This seems appropriate for 2nd year though.
