so many individuals

for such a simple site

indeed

I mean we only have 1 developer on physics.qandaexchange.com

@TheStackExchange na just playing around lol

@ACuriousMind may you please refresh may by display pic

ty

Mods even have such powers?

guess so

We can click a button that forces all the cached information on the chat profile to be refreshed, yes

thanks @ACuriousMind

I'm not entirely sure why it's there, but it's there

Wow, great to have power for power of mind.

what?

@SwapnilDas wat do u mean?

Oh, perhaps no one could understand my poetry.

lol

I didn't realize it was poetry

but now that I do, not bad

Mods have power of minds, I.e., the intelligence in the field of physics. This makes them a good candidate for being a mod. So they even have mod powers.

i see

Power for power of mind.

i iniitially thought you mneant power brings power of mind

No lol.

@SwapnilDas Mods are elected, and being good at the site's topic may help with that, but you shouldn't think that the mods are necessarily the most competent users on a site.

^agreed

@ACuriousMind Poetry isn't as rigorous as mathematical physics ;P

physics is the universes poetry

^ that sentence is poetry btw

hi @heather

hello @Mew

how is learning going?

did you order any physics texts?

@SwapnilDas did you know 80% of nitrogen in the body went through the Haber-Bosche process?

I needed to Google.

it's a process that allows ammonia to be created from the nitrogen in the air

Actually I'm a backbench 10th grader who knows only physics n math, nothing else.

it is what allowed the human population to skyrocket

my mom's making me wait till Christmas

You know a lot.

so for now, i'm googling like a fiend

@heather which texts?

@SwapnilDas yes I'm curious about many things

@heather yes I think one can find everything on the internet

textbooks just provide structure

Howdy

and questions!

practice questions are the important thing you don't usually get from the net

^yes

That's nice. I mostly try to understand nature in mathematical literature, through physical laws.

@heather Apostol costs so much, it almost gave me a heart attack

I understand nature through asking Daniel what the hell is going on

How do you justify the quasi-classical wave function expression $\psi = A e^{i S / \hbar}$?

@BernardMeurer Same!

@BernardMeurer, i got the first volume used...it wasn't too bad, only $20-ish

Damn, that's a good price

I recently got an AWESOME book

I thought of a cool way, but still, the books do some ridiculous things

waiting for it to get here

It'll do me well for the Collatz and Brocard projects

amazon.com/Calculus-Vol-1-Tom-M-Apostol/dp/8126515198/…

@heather all good books

@heather have you heard of library genises?

@Mew, no, I can't say I have...what's a genis?

@heather Did you check the new folder on the books folder?

genesis*

The best physics book ic is Indian, it has made me solve irodov flexibly.

it has 90% of academic books available to download

@heather It's a place to download books

illegally of course

virus free

genesis, like beginning, @Mew?

yep

oh

I can't recommend it though as it may be illegal

but I have provided the link for academic purposes only

It is very much illegal

but she's a minor

You people can solve IPhO problems?

Yeah, so we get her parents in trouble, good idea man :)

na she doesn't know what she's doing she just clicks random buttons

she can't be held accountable for that

wait, it's that illegal? Like people-come-after-you illegal?

@heather no but downloading any copyright content is technically illegal

@heather You're in the US, they take copyright seriously

oh, phew

haven't downloaded anything

@heather Do you know how to use encrypted email?

@heather but my very close friend has downloaded stuff there and never had an issue

@Mew You're American right?

@SwapnilDas no Aussie

Oh!

jyu.fi/ipho/problems.html

Guys have a look^^

@BernardMeurer, never heard of encrypted email, sounds cool

@SwapnilDas looks like a virus

i'll go check the book folder

@heather Let me find you a guide, it's a useful tool

@Mew Umm.. No?
