“Well… You see… When its a particle it spins. When its a wave its still doing that. How does a waveform spin you ask? Listen. Shut the fuck up. The math is really weird and some of this stuff just happens and you can’t visualize it in your head. We didn’t believe it at first either but after 50 years of experiments we have to just accept that reality is consistent with the math even if we don’t fully conceptualize what that means even”
We are all just folds in this wonderfully weird thing we call spacetime!
The prions of spacetime.
Out here folding along.
Nice reference to PBS Space Time. The YouTube channel where I just get bullied with science, and for some weird twisted reason I like it.
Bullied with science sounds like a fun band name
Hah! Time. Like that’s a real thing.
- When it’s* a particle
- When it’s* a wave
- it’s* still doing that
Phone stuff. Sorry about that
rude bot
Tits
You wrote a comment so good that I screenshotted it.
Awww thanks
Of course waves can spin, it just does so in some conceptual “dimension”.
Also please don’t look at it
I mean, you can but it won’t be there.
“All models are wrong, but some are useful.” -George Box
My advanced E&M professor said “Imagine a sphere of radius zero. Trust me, it works.”
You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.
I swear quantum physics is magic and made up!
Magnets, how do they work?
+1/2 h and -1/2 h
Fucking hate the people that insist on using only half of the number as if it was a real value. At least say you are working with natural unities or something.
" - How far is your house? - Oh, it’s just 5!"
Except in this context the question is “how many blocks away is your house?” Where “5” is a completely valid response
" - How far is your house? - Oh, it’s just 120"
FTFY
Or how about - “Walk around the block TWICE and it’ll be right there, you can’t miss it.”
Now everything is clear. Thanks!
We haven’t even started with quantum fields yet.
