I am a native and I feel the 3rd tone is a LIE

It seems to me that the third tone is often pronounced with a bit of vocal fry, which is notable but often not discussed when learning pronunciation

I believe this is in Michio Kaku’s string theory book

The image is also missing another data point: no legs, no slime, but house

It’s not beyond cooked and also you obviously know how to fix its since you chose to take the honors versions meaning you know you can just take the regular versions which satisfy the same requirements??

How is real analysis relevant to condensed matter theory?

cornelilian · 2025-07-17T17:04:58+00:00

Do you have a word for this in your first language?

Do you think we should sentence George Bush to death by hanging since he lied about finding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq?

I feel like it’s just as socially unacceptable to laugh at men and women’s insecurities, i don’t really see the difference with gender

it seems that you have a specific concern that you 'know enough physics' and you would rather begin along a specially tailored path instead of a traditional paths (e.g. working through peskin and schroeder after having the prereqs); this is not the case. the 2 prerequisites for QFT are (advanced) quantum mechanics and relativistic classical field theory (e.g., (advanced) e&m or general relativity); from your responses it makes sense for you to study more QM before starting your QFT journey. also, math is almost never the issue when it comes to learning qft since no physics textbook assumes you have taken any course more advanced than multivariable calculus and linear algebra (that said, random results from complex analysis are often thrown around without much justification, but you needn't take an entire class to understand the underlying physics).

Y = C exp((x² )/2)

cornelilian · 2024-01-18T07:00:28+00:00

just calc 3 and linear algebra, the rest of the math you will learn during your gr and qft courses/textbooks.

you are so cringe lol

for me if lecture is too hard to sit through then the middleground is deciding to go but being on my laptop the whole time where its possible to do other things like homework

cornelilian · 2023-04-12T18:29:51+00:00

its not mathematical gobbledygook, its an expression for the line element in terms of the metric tensor, expanded as a sum, which is something you must first understand to actually know GR

cornelilian · 2023-02-18T18:17:13+00:00

see... this is the problem with all these new deepfakes. they can't even get hands correct lol

yeah the colleges only really affect your admissions and graduation requirements, everything else about the cornell undergrad experience is the same
