Too many books don't want to use their fancy theories on a dumb example
Sep 29, 2024 09:16
I believe in dumb examples

How dumb do you have to be

I'm not even sure what a typical dumb electron shot from a cathode ray tube is supposed to look like as a wavefunction

My go to dumb thing to do when I'm a bit sick of GR is to do flat Earth physics :p

Once in a while I do a dumb one to have a break
Apr 23, 2023 20:10
I'm gonna do a dumb article

let's say the dumb one

IIRC the basic polarization leads to the dumb old L² one while the complex one leads to the Bargmann one

greek mathematicians were wont to slander each other for their dumb ideas

It is either very powerful or we are very dumb

@ACuriousMind Here's a dumb question
Apr 5, 2022 13:11
But then here's a terrible and dumb question
Dec 28, 2021 18:43
"spacetime" is such a dumb lazy word
Dec 9, 2021 08:01
@ACuriousMind Another dumb question, is the "trivial" Cartan connection $\mathrm{GL}(n) \hookrightarrow \mathrm{GL}(n)$ a $G$-structure?

It's the first dumb idea that comes to mind as an algorithm for least action problems
Oct 28, 2021 13:59
It's probably doable for some dumb Hilbert space like for spin states but I want to see it for a real particle
Oct 25, 2021 20:34
also there was dumb stuff like pomerons or whatever
Oct 24, 2021 18:13
One thing most QFT books lack are dumb examples
Oct 22, 2021 08:16
But antigravity in GR is pretty obviously a dumb idea because you can tell right from the start
Sep 5, 2021 18:44
Because it is the dumb child of GR

I will work on any dumb idea even if I don't think it has any use

Dumb physicists thinking the time of the day doesn't matter

By doing something dumb like $t \to t^{-1}$

A dumb argument, but I assume that if you do subsets of the configuration space, the Z2 symmetry will be something like $$\int_{C} = \int_{+C} + \int_{-C}$$
Sep 28, 2020 13:08
there's just dumb mappings with slightly non-trivial transition maps
Sep 28, 2020 12:54
If you want a simple case to consider, take the spacetime defined by doing a dumb coordinate transform on Minkowski space

Let me check some other book just in case I'm being dumb
Mar 4, 2020 16:14
It has a dumb name because as far as I can tell, nobody ever named it
Feb 20, 2020 11:32
A dumb proof for this : take $a$ to be all possible basis vector
Feb 20, 2020 11:25
Here's a dumb argument :
Feb 18, 2020 12:52
I am dumb
Feb 12, 2020 13:57
Have a dumb proof

@ACuriousMind Dumb question
Feb 7, 2020 21:59
and apparently classical mechanics is computable for non-dumb cases
Feb 7, 2020 21:59
He only proved it for a really dumb case
Feb 5, 2020 10:20
Duffield isn't a quack, he's just as dumb as Einstein
Feb 5, 2020 10:11
It was apparently so bad that I have never seen it outside of the context of "Why did Einstein try this dumb tensor?"
Feb 5, 2020 10:05
But it was dumb and not covariant
Jan 6, 2020 13:50
We all know that PSE is a terrible site with really dumb rules
Oct 14, 2019 13:19
I'm not sure if anyone ever did a dumb old thin shell but I'd say probably?

I'm trying to come up with really dumb actions with weird symmetries but it's hard to think of ones that are continuous

@SirCumference I am very dumb
Aug 26, 2019 14:36
plz help I am very dumb
Aug 21, 2019 09:35
Well a dumb argument for it is that $\delta(x) = 0$ outside of its support $\text{supp}(\delta) = \{ 0 \}$, and $x = 0$ on that support

We're going to have fights over this dumb question now
