I woke up this morning with the complete and certain knowledge that I had missed an important meeting. Turns out it's nowhere to be found in my calendar, looks like I just dreamt that there was one. Great job, brain.
Well, I didn't dream about the meeting - I apparently just dreamt about looking at my calendar and going "oh no that's a very early meeting tomorrow". Then I woke up, looked at the time and was pretty sure I'd actually missed it, only to find out the meeting never existed :P
apparently, dreaming about the exam/meeting itself would have been too exciting
@Qmechanic (CC @JohnRennie) quick word of protest regarding physics.stackexchange.com/questions/635490/the-resistor-cube -- I raised a flag pointing out that it's a good Q&A pair from a new-user OP and that OP needed guidance on getting it into form
straight closure without commentary doesn't help much
this looks like a good new user, and it pays to be friendly =)
@satan29 you have to think about what this is - it is a "fast" oscillation (the phase term) inside a "slow" oscillation (the "amplitude term", often also called "envelope")
i.e. this function has two periods, and we think of the shorter as an oscillation whose overall maximal amplitude varies over the longer period
@satan29 If you define refractive index(in the visible spectrum) of a linear isotropic medium as $n=c/v$ then that v is the phase velocity of the EM waves in the medium, not the group velocity
@fqq honestly, some real papers have such horrible titles that 100% is unrealistic to achieve :P
you can learn how to tell meaningless technobabble from actual research topics, but every once in a while the two papers it offers you have titles like "General Structure" vs. "A Comment on Certain Particles" and you really have no good way of figuring out which of these is real
among other things the snarXiv generator seems to love "bubbles", "CY n-folds", "deformations" and horrendously long titles that are too awkward even for physicists
the first two times I played it I scored below 40% though
What current would be measured in the following circuit?
There was some commentary about it being a homework question, which it isn't , I genuinely want to understand what happens when the point of intersection moves faster than the speed of light. I actually find this an interesting question.
I watched Iron Man 3 today, and wonder what this formula is about. Is it an important topic of physics? You know, like Transformers: Dark of the Moon, as I can recall, when an answer of some formula (problem) is got, an amazing weapon is invented. But I don't see any relationship in this movie. T...
Maybe once a simple proof of BCH is found it'll be the first step towards realizing physics is just a big quest to decode where one infinity stone is hidden
Is a question that asks whether something is possible within the laws of physics on-topic here?
(Very vague) Example: assuming any level of technology, can you do this within the laws of physics, or would some law(s) of physics prevent it?
Would such a question be on-topic here (with more details...
Why is thermal equilibrium only talk about temperature (not pressure, volume etc..) as in zeroth law of thermodynamics.
It can also be seen in isothermal process there can be volume and pressure change but temperature constant. Than why zeroth law only talk about temperature in equilibrium. If other properties can change at constant temperature. System should not be in equilibrium.
why do the W bosons only couple with the left-handed quarks in the Lagrangian for the Standard Model? (why don't W bosons also couple with the right-handed quarks?)
I find the profound asymmetry in the sensitivity of left and right chiral particles to be one of the most remarkable analytical observations captured in the Standard Model. Yet for some, I've not found much in the way of discussions that worry about why of such as truly remarkable fact is true. I...
