why isnt $\varepsilon = 0.82$ meV

OH i get it

it's to keep the work neat

does anyone have a favorite treatment of EM? I am interested in something maybe a little quirky...not just a copy paste of jackson, zangwill, or griffiths

"I asked Dirac in 1973 how he then felt about this point; he told me that he did not regard bosons like the pion or $W^{\pm}$ as 'important'"

At the top of pg 14 here professores.ift.unesp.br/ricardo.matheus/files/courses/2014tqc1/… in Weinberg QFT 1

Dirac had double standards for fields :P

wow, that was fast

(10k only)

any mods around -- was this deleted through an automated system, or via community flags?

ACuriousMind

@EmilioPisanty semi-automated: ultimately deleted via flags, but most of the flags were driven by Smokey

what is the mean value theorem used for in physics :P

DIRAC1930

@Mr.Feynman I wish the particles had better names. The proton, neutron and electron sound profound compared to all the ones discovered later

"Three quarks for Muster Mark!
Sure he hasn't got much of a bark
And sure any he has it's all beside the mark.
But O, Wreneagle Almighty, wouldn't un be a sky of a lark
To see that old buzzard whooping about for uns shirt in the dark
And he hunting round for uns speckled trousers around by Palmer-
stown Park?"

DIRAC1930

Tbf, string theorists are very good at coming up with names

Silly Goose

naming something after a word in finnegan's wake seems like a very physicist thing to do :P

DIRAC1930

Murray Gell Mann should have had a disciplinary for that lol

i sort of wish every lecturer was a string theorist :P
