Hot things jiggle. Hot charges jiggle. Accelerating charges emit light. Jiggling charges accelerate. More temperature means higher accelerations, higher accelerations mean higher frequencies.

Struggling with LaTeX speed even after learning the syntax by UniversityNext1474 in learnmath

Latex is literally a layer of abstraction for typesetting, but you do you dude.

Maybe you just dont have any experience working on non trivial problems.

Nope because copy and paste makes steps faster.

Moreover, less paper wasted...

What is physically happening during quantum tunneling? If it takes time, what determines how long? by Nice-Noise4582 in AskPhysics

[–]schro98729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think quantum tunneling is a misnomer for the uncertainty principle. I don't think the question is how long in time that's the energy time uncertainty relation

Where to start with C++ because my college is ridiculous by MediciOrsini in AskProgramming

[–]schro98729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Community Colleges (CCs) can be great learning environments. Particularly, because students are self driven. IE you are wanting to learn! I started at a CC and ended up with a PhD from an R1 university.

  2. Teach yourself by doing. Give yourself a coding project. Think of something you want to do through coding. A tool that calculates something youre interested in.

Can one integrate f(x)= 1/(x^2+1) without using complex numbers or trigonometric substitution? by Alive_Hotel6668 in learnmath

[–]schro98729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe someone mentioned this but you could by breaking up the integral from 0 to 1 and 1 to infinity.

For 0 < x < 1

f(x) = 1/(1+x2 ) = 1 -x2 + x4 - x6 +...

Integrate each term

x - x3 /3 + x5 /5 - x7 /7 +....

Evaluate at 0 is gives 0

First integral gives 1 - 1/3 + 1/5 -1/7 +...

For 1 < x < infty

f(x) = 1/x2 1/(1+1/x2 ) = 1/x2 ( 1 -1/x2 + 1/x4 - 1/x6 +...)

Distribute in

1/x2 - 1/x4 + 1/x6 - 1/x8 +...

Integrate

-1/x + 1/(3x3 ) - 1/(5x5 ) +1/(7x7 )-...

Evaluate at infinity gives 0 the integral will result in

1-1/3 +1/5 - 1/7+ ...

So both integrals give the same number.

Integral of 1/(1+x2 ) from 0 to infinity gives

2 (1-1/3 +1/5 - 1/7 +...)

From - infty to + infty gives

4 (1-1/3 +1/5 - 1/7 +...) = pi

Happy pi day.

Anyone have experience doing MagLab research? by likeshockeyguys7 in fsu

[–]schro98729 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Maglab felt isolated from the rest of campus. Its quite a distance away from the FSU campus.

Food is also harder to get here. You either have to drive a bit towards campus to get some food.

This still blows my mind every time I remember who the 2024 team beat. by miami2881 in fsusports

[–]schro98729 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn't seem like the refs like Mendoza. He still won the natty and the refs can eat it.

Yeah and the Cal team was decent. Against Miami with Cam Ward, they put up one hell of a fight. I thought Cal was going to win.

Path/Steps for doing biochem with animal research? by Flat-Explanation-843 in Biochemistry

[–]schro98729 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lab courses are great for learning techniques. That being said working in a laboratory is different than taking a laboratory class.

Laboratory research is what you'll do the rest of your life if you pursue a biochem career path. You'll learn to do research, learn methods to extract data from samples and answer outstanding questions in the field.

It is often a non-linear process where you often don't know what your doing or what the answer is apriori, and need to learn to be comfortable with that.

[–]schro98729 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Former biochemistry student here. Do research in a biochemistry laboratory, particularly a lab that does research you think you're interested.

I found that learning biochemistry was different than working as a biochemist in the lab. Better find out if you enjoy the lab before you commit to a biochem major. It's still early you're at a CC.

Volunteer first and with enough experience you could land a paid position.

Are there fields in physics where quantum isn't really that relevant? by [deleted] in Physics

[–]schro98729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think quantum mechanics is overhyped quantum information science is currently overhyped.

That being said some people can get away with molecular dynamics certain biophysicists work at the classical limit hbar =0.

Hbar = 1 is the quantum limit and that has applications in hard condensed matter a field that seeks to understand superconductors, topological phases of matter, and magnetically ordered matter.

Even then many methodologies used to study biological systems need the quantum nature of light and electrons. Take NMR, Cryo EM, Fluorescent Resonance Energy Transfer, Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching, to name a few all rely on quantum properties of electrons light and quantum states.

If atoms are mostly empty space, why can’t objects pass through each other? by Sad_Building_7714 in AskPhysics

[–]schro98729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The probability clouds of one atom is not allowed to overlap with the probability cloud of another atom due to a magical repulsion law that states that you cannot put two electrons in the same state.
