I tried to bore my son to sleep by reading Dune to him. He now reads the books on his own.
Task failed successfully
Is he a worm yet?
Just wait until OP's son declares Jihad
And if so, do you still love him?
Missed a chance to say "I tried to literally Bohr my 3yo to sleep"
Mr. Miller drilled his son for boring his sister, and his wife reamed him for it.
When I tell my kid to go to bed, he Boltzmann. Then he just lays there stiff as a Planck.
Kids just want attention and love from their parents. They’ll take interest in your interests if you share them with them.
My grandpa (electrician) was telling me about electrons. I was so fascinated with things like current not being speed, and magnetic force, and batteries. I think I've learned now everything there is to learn about electrons - electronics, electrochemistry, magnetooptics, electron microscopy, positron tomography, xray generation, power generation, electrites, etc, etc.
Still unemployed lol.
Heh, I'm an electron microscopist. Also, ham radio operator. 'Electricity' is fascinating.
Damnit, this is why the world needs some sort of universal basic income system. You might be the one to create effectively free energy or something but we'll never know.
I've done my share of science magic; and I'll probably do more, I don't need some state capitalists' approval or anything for that. Would be nice if they just go to hell nicely and never bother me when I try to trade whatever I make with my community.

there's 2 types of electric current: electrons flowing through a wire, and protons flowing through water
the second kind is also called a pH gradient (because pH value measures how many protons there are in water) and is the main theme of most of biochemistry. since biochemistry is all about moving protons (and other charged ions) around. so this opens up a whole new field (biochemistry) for you!
Also, to be honest, there are way more forms of electric current. There is plasma conductivity, superconducting pairs dynamics, molecular conductivity through coupled orbitals, quasiparticle conductivity and other weirdness of solid state (Hall effect shows whether it's electrons or holes where electrons are missing are charge carriers, for example). World is beautiful.
Well, to be honest, I did try to sell live yeast I grow through pure culture protocol at home in my tiny lab, but demand is so low (and yes, it's regulated so I have to please the big brother by paying for their nonsense sanitary checkups which costed more than I made in revenue), that I just make beer for myself now.
Kids love trivia. When I was a kid I had the characteristics of dozens of dinosaur species memorized. The whole Pokemon franchise is built on this.
sqrt 2 = 1.4142135623730950884
sqrt 3 = 1.732050808
sqrt 5 = 2.236067978
sqrt 6 = 2.664(?) i think
sqrt 7 = ?
sqrt 8 = 2.828
sqrt 10 = 3.166
recited from memory, remembered since i was 13 or sth idk, i was bored back then.
You skipped 4 and 9. Couldn't remember those, could you?
sqrt 1 = 1
sqrt 4 = 2
sqrt 9 = 3
At one time I knew pi to thirty places. Then I read somewhere that it really doesn’t need to be that precise. So for example, if you were measuring the circumference of the earth using π = 3.14159 vs π = 3.141592653589793 it only changes the circumference by fractions of a millimeter at this scale. I can’t measure a 24 inch piece of wood with that amount of accuracy.
The circumference of the Earth is somewhat subjective at that scale anyway, since it also depends on where you decide the radius stops.
Well yeah since we really aren’t a perfect sphere. Not to mention elevation, buildings, etc.
Why don't you know 7, also 6 is wrong
What they had for 6 is closer to 7
~ 2.64575
yeah lol i figured out some time later that there's really no use to these numbers, sqrt 2 is the only one that actually matters at all, and maybe sqrt 3 for some applications, and pi and e but that's it.
Goddammit I love this website 😂😂😂
Alpha Beta Gamma Delta Epsilon Zeta Eta Theta Iota Kappa Lambda Mu Nu Omicron? ? Rho Tau Sigma Upsilon Phi Chi Psi Omega
Edit: Forgot about Xi and Pi, before and after Omicron respectively. Also swapped Tau and Sigma's position.
Did you guys do the match challenge too?
Wait wut? Pokemon is based on some aspect of reality? That's the best thing I've learned today!
They just want you to engage with them
They haven't been told atoms are boring yet
Am adult. Must have missed that memo.

Young kids love the sound of your voice and can sense the enthusiasm probably. They will respond to that more than the content. My daughter was the same with stories about the ice age…
Are you trying to say my daughter is obsessed with super heroes and Greek mythology because she got it from me and not just because she's awesome?
Gotta get ‘em hooked on the physics early!
can confirm. my dad read me a physics book when i was 8 and now i've learned a whole lot about physics!
Kids learn what you teach them.
Our babysitter taught us calculus at like 9.
It took me a long time before I could use it.
My daughters loved school and used to like to play "school". I never taught them calculus tho.
As a father this translates to me as, "I like hearing you talk about stuff you love."
He'll make a neutron source in the backyard in no time.
Amazing pic. That smile is priceless
Anybody else try to memorize the chemical elements? Hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, sodium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, argon, potassium, calcium. That's as far as I ever got, the metals were too confusing.
A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.
I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!
Only goofs & silliness. (:
