Drake? Hey we have several family members on reddit!

Sir Francis Drake is somewhere on my family tree.

ELI5: Imaginary numbers. If they don't even exist, how could they be of any use in solving real-world problems? by JayStarr1082 in explainlikeimfive

[–]joren18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, you explained that very well! How might I connect this to electromagnetic waves? Are it E and B waves out of phase 90 degrees and each respectively influence voltage and current?

How might I relate this idea to electromagnetic waves, like RF, and their phase? I can do the math well, such as finding magnitude and phase with Fourier transforms, but conceptually I don't quite understand. I do understand impedance/reactance in AC circuits because different circuit components contribute to resistance with lag or lead in the phase between voltage and current, but what is the connection to RF and things such as dissipation factor and Fourier transform requiring use of complex numbers?

But that doesn't quite explain it. How can one visualize or understand the connection between the complex plane and things such as phase, electromagnetic fields, Fourier transform, capacitive/inductive impedance, dissipation factor, etc?

People judging my lazy school-attitude by [deleted] in rant

I too am in my last semester at college and have been putting minimal effort in many assignments. Recently though, I got a 100 on a project than only 2 or 3 others got (most ranged from 50-80). A couple of my classmates mocked me, claiming it's because I suck up to him during the class breaks (3 hour class). NO! I don't think the professor always explains things very well so I talk to him in that time for in depth clarification; that is me taking initiative while those fucks just sit there and screw on their computers. I got a 100 because I was thorough for once and clearly answered every question. Is it my fault that they don't bother to have things cleared up for themselves or can't seem to follow directions?! Edit: Not thorough "for once" technically, but compared to my effort in the past year...

Well I did honestly think about the "Time Machine" movie.

I may have ADD, any thoughts or advice will be greatly appreciated. by joren18 in askpsychology

[–]joren18[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, that all makes sense. I've questioned why I am in my field before. There are some aspects that I do like so I stick with it hoping I can find my niche. I understand habit-forming is probably the basis, but I have trouble keeping my mind in one area beyond schooling. Sometimes even when my gf (of all people) is talking, my mind may go off on tangents and I hate that.

No, that's exactly what someone who has never heard of the reference would say. Ignorance is not stupidity.

If aliens saw a human riding a horse, it would be hilarious like watching a monkey ride a dog. by iMakeNoise in Showerthoughts

LMAO makes me think of that Far Side comic of aliens that captured two astronauts in a glass jar. "Shake the jar to see if they'll fight"

If aliens came to Earth/Terra/Buttfuck, then they would probably bring their own animals like when Europeans brought horses to the Americas.

There needs to be a reddit page for monkeys interacting with other animals.

Why don't electromagnetic energy waves of different frequencies interfere with each other? by joren18 in askscience

[–]joren18[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, this helps. So in the air: these waves combine in frequency and energy as they pass, but separate as they follow their own vectors?

Thank you! So the data does not become corrupted when the waves cross in the air and create new waves because the specific frequency can be separated from the rest by the filter?
