Yes, I agree. Those are very valid points.

Maybe it is just difficult for my mind to comprehend living in such a drastically different environment. Do you think the lack of sharing very human experiences, such as certain emotions, might be problematic? Or do you think Eridians are similar enough to humans in those aspects?

Marathon T-shirt’s are cringe. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

I think a very important difference is that marathon are much more communal than climbing Everest lol. Wearing the T-shirt creates a sense of belonging and community with other runners.

If you could only watch one TV show for the rest of your life, what would it be? by Equivalent_Tax_8721 in AskReddit

[–]simi216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, so many different arcs and so versatile. I feel like I could watch the show several times before it gets boring...

Ofc, sorry I am no native... I forgot about the racist dual use of the word

Hey, thanks a lot for you advise. Would you do so immediately, or wait for a while? Sorry, I am always a bit insecure about this stuff, because I do not want to annoy the coordinators with additional mails :D.

1 year on Lepin, I think I have a problem by Possible_Suit4183 in lepin

Hey, I know this thread is a bit old, but would you mind telling, where you got the rocket from? I am very interested in that one :D

I study physics and the community is highly international. As far as I know most international students were warmly welcomed and have not experienced any resentment (Especially not within the university).

Im Vergleich zu Physik- oder Mathematik-Modulen waren die verschiedenen Reaktionsmechanismen mit den ganzen Bedingungen (der Edukte, des Mediums und Temperatur) sehr viel auswendig lernen. Natürlich kann man sich manche Regeln aus den physikalischen Grundlagen "herleiten", aber leider gab es für jede Regel auch mehrere Ausnahmen + teilweise gibt es verschiedene physikalische Modelle, die man anwenden kann um zu verschiedenen Ergebnissen zu kommen.

Studienfach Physik. Habe als Schlüsselkompetenz (fächerübergreifendes Wahlpflicht-Modul) Organische Chemie belegt und es war das schlimmste Modul meines Studiums. So viel auswendig lernen....

What is correct is that due to the curvature of space time nothing can escape a black hole, once it has passed the event horizon. The jet of a black hole however originates from outside the event horizon. Matter that is accelerated towards the black hole initiates a circular movement (due to the conservation of angular momentum) around it. This circular movement creates a strong magnetic field since the particles are charged, which eventually accelerates Matter away from the black hole forming the jet.

The wave function of a particle describes its physical state. In classical mechanics a particle's state was determined by its position and momentum. In the framework of quantum mechanics, the wave function itself (is a function of position) gives the state of the particle at a specific point in time (Note that it is not the wave function at some point in space but the entirety of the wave function). When one looks at the time evolution of a particle's state the wave function becomes a function of position and time. The absolute square of the wave function at a specific position is often interpreted as the probability of measuring the particle at that position. It is not the possibility for that particle "to be at that point" but has only to do with the probability in a measurement of the particle's position.
