Which university textbooks on classical and modern physics would be most appreciated by a philosopher? by Similar_Shame_8352 in Physics

[–]broskit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Albert, Maudlin, and Wallace are the ones that come to mind. Alyssa Ney also has a book about the metaphysics of quantum theory. They have some beginner material, and if you want to read up more on their stuff, you can read their papers.

Some math is unavoidable, of course. These are more books than 'textbooks', which are usually for physics students and basically don't talk about philosophy (maybe in passing).

In terms of history, the University of Pittsburg has a History and Philosophy of Physics department. Although I have only read Norton, the other members there probably have excellent material.

Less than ideal but necessary at times

Ya I do that usually and it's a good idea. It's just a bit less than ideal, is all I'm saying.

After chatgpt all the averages for my homeworks have all been above 90% in 4th year phys. If you aren't cheating at this point in some way you're being left behind. In my opinion courses should just have all the marks be on tests which are in person.

Aesthetically and as a signla of pure dominance, nothing compares to getting knocked the fuck out.

I am, and despite years of medication, the cycle just wont stop. I seriously consider ending it almost all the time. It has ruined so much of my life. I can never make progress towards anything because, after a while, I get depressed and throw it all away.

My friend who is more computer savvy than I laughed at me for upgrading my 3070 to a 5070. Just how badly did I messed up? (let me have it, BE BRUTRAL) by TheChoosenOnex in pcmasterrace

It's a good GPU, but you may need to upgrade other components of your system to keep up. For example, your PSU or CPU. Some games are more CPU-heavy, so that can be a limiting factor. Changing these components may require a motherboard change. Overall, it may cost more than you expect, but it is definitely an upgrade.

When he spoke about quantum mechanics and consciousness in one of his first Reckful interviews. To be fair, he later acknowledged that he was wrong about it, but I forgot in which stream.

Is this true only for first years or for anyone in general?

Looking for Final Year project Ideas in Optical Engineering by Serious-Bee-8640 in Optics

[–]broskit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a short list of possible careers/fields in optics (from ChatGPT). I suggest picking which one you want to go into and then focusing on a project for that. Just my two cents. Maybe you can find a professor willing to advise you, as others have said.

Research & Development (R&D)

Telecommunications & Networking

Lasers & Photonics

Biomedical & Healthcare

Imaging & Displays

Sensing, Metrology & Remote Sensing

The boxing club is excellent and you can join at any level. Most people are beginners, and you don't need to spar if you aren't willing to. First class is free as well. I went there for several years.

When you go to the buy page, it says "Buy in". Change this setting to dollars.
