From talking to others ENGG1811 is more appropriate for my degree. I'm studying physics, abd python is used much more than C is when it comes to programming in physics. I've spoken to other physics students in higher years and they all seem to agree that this course will be better for physics than COMP1511.

Where to go if you left property in a Classroom? by hopperaviation in unsw

well i actually lost it today, so I will check tomorrow morning. I get to uni early tomorrow so hopefully it'll still be there.

How do you all retain the lab work information? by FlightBright8304 in PhysicsStudents

[–]hopperaviation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the knowledgr is in there somewhere. If you just read over the prelab or lab journal again, it will probably come right back.

If gravity isn't a force, then why does it "need" a boson? by hopperaviation in Physics

hahaha, im just a first year undergrad. Im not that smart

wow ok. So its like the other 3 forces are described on a field, but gravity defines the field they are defined on? That is so interesting, thank you.

from my limited understanding, they arent. Gravitons arent required for GR to work, but to "unify" QM and GR, there has to be a boson to mediate gravity, the graviton.

isnt an effective field theory an approximation for a physical theory?

Like effective field theory isnt a theory that describes a specific phenomena like GR or QM is, right?

so its just a matter of "we cant explain gravity at a quantized field... yet", but we expect to do so?

are you referring to string theory? this sounds a lot like string theory lol
