In German, we have “Wenn Fliegen hinter Fliegen fliegen, fliegen Fliegen Fliegen nach”. Notice that all nouns are capitalized in German.

Every other year the EU tries to pass another mass surveillance law - and the EU court of human rights rules it illegal.

You’re right, I mixed it up with the complex numbers being isomorphic to R^2. Thanks for clearing it up!

Love btw how I get downvoted for an honest mistake.

Is this some joke I’m not getting? Cause yes, real numbers are the closure of irrational numbers, but imaginary numbers are just isomorphic to them.

I had to derive osmotic pressure for my statistical mechanics exam in my bachelor’s. So in what sense don’t we know?

I’m not trying to argue approximations. Physics is just approximations all the way down. But as a physicist, I also love arguing about technicalities, and that’s also kinda the point of science communities for me.

Populism is basically about simple solutions for complicated problems, and blaming every problem on a certain group of people.

From the right, the most prominent example is immigrants, while from the left, it’s mostly rich people.

But the point of general relativity is that a free-floating observer is equivalent to an observer in free space. That means that falling due to gravity, which you call a force, is an unaccelerated movement, i.e. no force.

In our current understanding of physics, it’s an effect from the curvature of space and not a force. Quantizing gravity results in unphysical divergences. Whether there will be a way to model gravity as an exchange of particles, we can’t know for sure. So according to our current knowledge, it’s not a force.

Well, firstly, we can quantize gravity pretty easily, it just has unphysical divergences.

But secondly, I think it makes most sense to talk about the current accepted physics because we don’t know how quantum gravity will work.

Gravity isn’t a force tho…

That’s why I differentiate between publicly traded and privately owned companies. In the former, if the CEO’s ethics are stopping profits, they get kicked out. In the latter, if the CEO/owner happens to be a nice guy, it can have an impact on the company as a whole.

For that, you need Hilbert spaces, linear operators on them, a little spectral theory, …

Many people are trying to give a definitive answer, and there are good theories, but honestly, it is still very much an open question. There are multiple interpretations and as people tend to do in popular science, some spread their opinion as a fact, but we don’t have one correct answer.

Everyone always says how great and optimized etc the game is, but for me, I had glitches every few minutes with crashes every few hours. Maybe the multiplayer is worse, but how I experienced the game, it was far from being ready to ship.

The only thing I quickly found is this paper, which says that learning multiple things is not better nor worse than one thing at a time, but it also states in the abstract that cognitive psychologists believed up to that point that mixing multiple topics is beneficial.

That is actually not backed by science. Mixing material is a lot more effective than focusing on one thing.

It’s afro American sociolect.

Obviously, the apartment with the Confederate flag has a swastika inside.

I think you just have to differentiate whether you want to do mathematically rigorous QM (which gets arbitrarily hard), or just do useful calculations.
