dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in [email protected], it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

This is the field I choose to go into. I chose this, I did this to myself. It is fun. I like it.

making 57k a year

Can we trade?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah getting a ~50% yearly salary bump and all I have to do is stare into the cosmic abyss? I'm in

No, you look at huge tables of data and do differential equations all day trying to figure out how anything relates to anything

Yo I'd do that shit for free lol, I love differential equations and data science. Where do I sign up?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Damn dude don't scab

Also observatories tend to publish their data blobs for free, so if you have some textbooks to learn wtf is happening and how to apply it you can grab the data and do some amateur astrophysics

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

so if you have some textbooks to learn wtf is happening

I'm currently working on this part, lol. Currently trying my best to teach myself quantum mechanics before the semester starts. But for astrophysics I'd really need to add general relativity to the picture, which I'm down to learn but it all takes time.

Plus I'm trying to learn like 5 other things ~~because I have squirrel brain~~ that are a bit closer to home than astrophysics.

Life was so much simpler when I thought matter was just protons neutrons and electrons.

This is one of my favorite memes of all time

I can bring two magnets close to each other and feel their fields interact so I know fields are real. Why not more fields, idk. What holds atoms together? Fuck if I should know, probably more magic fields. In the point of view of a photon, it travels instantaneously to its destination? That seems fake.

From the point of view of a photon there's also no distance between the start and end point. In a (kinda stoned) sense light connects us to anything it touches. Like, woah dude

entanglement means this is true o.O

if you took a whole bunch of pairs of entangled particles and used them to make two black holes, the black holes would be entangled, and their interiors might be a connected space.

EDIT: just listen to the whole lecture lol, it rules

it doesnt have a rest mass, it's got to run away from reality at the speed of light to exist.

Luminiferous Aether has entered the chat.

The truth is that it's not gravity, it's grabbity because it grabs everything and pulls it down

You've all been taken for fools by Big V

it's rome's vvorld and vve're jvst living in it.

I reset my Google news algorithm by incessantly searching for astrophysics articles for two straight weeks and now the vast majority of my news feed is astro/particle physics. It's dramatically better than the political gossip bullshit that it wants to feed you but the more I read the more I want to sit down with a physicist and talk until my brain antiquarks out of existence.

If you're interested in physics, I have been CONSUMING pbs spacetime, and it has been a fantastic resource.

Gravity is when things go down very-smart

gravity is the force of marxism upon the universe.

Probably a connected graph of space bits or something dumb they're going to call third quantization or something dumb. Definitely not strings though, fuck strings, all my homies hate strings.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

something dumb they're going to call third quantization

pain

nah more like third impact

magnet is just a super magnet .. while all else is also magnet ..

but we dont know how tey work either.

Gravity is when I trip and fall like a dumbass

the curvature of spacetime is caused by god pushing down on it with a finger for every subatomic particle
