That’s nothing, quarks have a fucking flavor
Black licorice quarks are the worse
Not like from those ancient and malfunctioning replicators. Now where the hell is Rom…?
Oh yeah?!! Well so do neutrinos! Electron, Muon, Tau!
And it has nothing to do with quarks and chromodynamics! Up, Down, Top, Bottom, Strange and Charmed!Here’s a grand idea: make everything as confusing as possible, with repeating or similar terminology for different things! Superstrings and Cosmic Strings!
More vanillin quarks!
Honestly physics is super simple when you realize nothing makes sense.
And I’m being completely serious. Once you actually truly realize, that the universe is just a total fuckin mess that basically runs on the strongest luck engine there is, it all starts to make perfect sense.
Once you understand the chaos, the order begins to form.
Physics is just us categorizing the relationships between different observed phenomena. “Explanations” are fun, and many can be true at certain scales, but getting deeper into any specific phenomenon is just a rabbit hole that leads to more and more “we don’t know why it does that, it just does and it works in our models.”
Exactly my point!
You can’t get caught up in the why, because at our current understanding, there is no why.
There only is.
Magnetism was my introduction to giving up the “need to know why”.
Why does one pole attract another? It just does.
It just does.
Move on.
Sorry, I see how my post could have read. I was agreeing with you. I just wanted to add on because I think it’s so cool that the only thing we’ve ever really been able to do with all our scientific progress and applied science is establish that when we see one thing happening we can be pretty sure that it usually leads to this other thing and we don’t really know why.
I didn’t take it as contradictory at all!
I was simply acknowledging that you understood my point and put a footnote period to the thought.
being a fantasy novel nerd i like to think of physics as simply being our magic system.
The truest knowledge is one’s doubt, thus I am, but am I?
See I don’t see it that existentially.
To me it’s more: I am therefore I am. What I am remains to be seen, but still, I am.
Up and down in what direction, electron?!?
Up and down on what direction?!?
Relative to A’Tuin
My favourite quark is the hubwise quark, closely followed by the widdershins quark
Actually a good point, tho. And also a good thought: If there is no special direction, what would be up? And that’s where quantum mechanics gets even weirder: It’s either up or down in the direction you measure.
At least in the Stern-Gerlach experiment it’s relative to the magnetic field.
Yeah, quantum mechanics lingo: measurement = interaction
Spin.
There might only be one, ever.
Mom says it’s my turn with the single universal electron!
Look. Time Traveling Ellie’s going to make sure everybody gets their fair share of charge. As long as we make sure she doesn’t get in her own way it’s all good.
I asked for an electron for Christmas and Grandma got me an electron NEUTRINO 🙄🙄🙄
These gifts are getting out of hand. How did she keep it under wraps in the first place?
