Except they know that they would have to cover the apple in a thin metallic layer for it to be observable under an electron microscope :D

Thank god the universe is purely described using linear algebra.

Lovely picture! Either I don't get the meme part or I can't find Saddam.

Zum Thema Luke Mockridge: Absoluter Idiot.

Zum Comic: Warum ist das niedrigere Geschoss heller? Beleuchtet man Stockwerke nicht typischerweise immer gleich?

If you ever find yourself among theoretical physicists and/or astrophysicists and need a conversation starter, just ask about unit systems or unitless/natural measurement systems. There is no other profession that is more obsessed about that topic.

Just to put this here:

Every time I see a reference to Jackson I can only think of this...

This has always been my biggest gripe with the exposition of this game. While studying physics I did the bare minimum of lab work and then dove into my theoretical specialization.

I remembered it being Newton's gravity potential, but looking at a picture it's just a big blur and could equally well be the force. Anyway, I applaud Ross as a physics layman for calling the scientists out.

Makes sense. Wigner's contributions are everywhere in physics and parts of math. Must've come from somewhere.

Quantenphysiker (aber keinen Hintergrund in Quantengravitation) hier. Kannst du erläutern, was meinst du mit symmetrisch meinst? Sehr einfach ausgedrückt passen Gravitation und Quantenmechanik nicht zusammen, weil unsere mathematische Beschreibung von Gravitation zu kompliziert (nichtlinear) ist. Unsere Quantentheorien haben deutlich simplere Formen, werden aber durch ihre hohe Dimensionalität schwer. Eine Quantisierung der Gravitation, Stichwort Graviton, ist deshalb theoretisch herausfordernd.

Was genau stört dich daran? Wir wissen bis heute nicht sicher, dass Neutrinos nicht ihre eigenen Antiteilchen sind. Alle Bosonen im Standardmodell treten nur als Vermittler von Kräften auf, d.h. sind nur temporär. Mein Leben wäre deutlich härter, wenn z.B. das Proton sein eigenes Antiteilchen wäre ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Was auch immer das wird; bitte nehmt euch ein Zimmer.
