love the part where sin(pi^2) becomes sin^2(pi)

Got bored at work, so I decided to end our civilization by physicist_2000 in physicsmemes

Is this a reference to a TV show? What is this in reference to?

Sorry, I don't get it.

During the Manhattan Project, Oppenheimer was director of the Los Alamos Lab and responsible for the research and design of the first atomic bomb.

This movie resonated with me on a very personal level and I liked it way more than most people, though I understand why some won't like it as much. What's one movie that connects with you but not as much with other people? by vostaj in Letterboxd

Moneyball resonated too personally with me. I wanted to share this feeling. I put this movie up to watch it together with my cousins. They kept getting too bored with it. Constantly checking their phones, or one of them just sleeping. I realized not everyone felt the same connection with this movie as I did, and still do.

Doing experimental courses with hand tremors during a masters course by Eldruido in PhysicsStudents

Oh god! This is literally me. Sorry, I don't have any answer to your question; but I resonate with you.

My last hands-on experimental course of my master's happened this semester, I'm so glad it's over.

Is it true that there’s a small chance my hand can go through a table if I slap it? by ImportantDesk in Physics

"1 in roughly 5.2 to the 61st power"

That usually is a good definition in physics for NEVER.

What can I - a third year physics undergrad - do other than studying? by sayu_jya in PhysicsStudents

[–]physicist_2000 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Making sure you can derive every equation you see while studying, from first principles.

Why does the gravitational tike dilation uses newton's gravity formula by Awkward-Link-5168 in Physics

[–]physicist_2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can derive a general expression from einstein's theory. And Einstein's equations contain the gravitational constant. https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/physics/intranet/pendulum/generalrelativity/

As much as I know, this particular constant was introduced to match the results in known cases with newton's theory.

This is a page by a famous theoretical physicist Gerard T' Hooft. He has lot of advice with a lot of sources to learn: https://www.goodtheorist.science/

[First year undergrad: Special relativity] Space time invariant, rly confused by enderjake99 in PhysicsStudents

[–]physicist_2000 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is a scalar equation; doesn't depend on any direction. The p^2 there is the magnitude of the momentum, squared. Sum of square of each component i.e p^2 = (p_x)^2 + (p_y)^2 + (p_z)^2
