idk
if this counts but last night started watching the doco series
on netflix called “yellowstone” and i swear i’ve never seen a nature documentary like it.. filmography has this epic emotive angle i’ve never seen in bbc documentaries. like the bbc tries to capture the facts while this one wanted you to feel the drama of the cold animal

it was the ultimate advert for yellowstone i so want to go there

i love the kind of stuff good sphere is talking about.

like I super love physics on a pop culture level. as opposed to gaining insight through tireless mathematics, I prefer to read a great analogy spoken by a person with a galaxy brain vocabulary

brian greene’s books are some of the most awe inspiring and interesting things i’ve ever read. I think one of them was made into a show but I doubt the show covers the same amount of ground

but his books really do delve into the physics in a way I think good sphere would really appreciate. it was a pure fluke that a woman physics student who was just a customer in the pharmacy who i was flirting with recommended them to me, they’re probably the most interesting books I’ve ever read

we know how to generate electricity, we know how to consume it, how to regulate and control it

but we still don't know what it is

don’t we? I was pretty sure we knew it was basically the electromagnetic field attempting to even out..

like what does it mean to say we don’t know what it is? it’s a label for an interaction of one of the fundamental forces 🤔 what am I missing?

I guess you could argue that despite understanding it in depth on a number of levels, that doesn’t mean we know what it is.. but then the same could be said about anything in the field of fundamental physics right??

Jonny 290 posted:

Right but all we know is that when you pass a magnetic field over a conductor, it triggers electron migration. we don't know why. it's an electron, it shouldn't give a gently caress about a magnetic field

hell, for 100+ years we have had electrical polarity backwards. the negative terminal/ground of your car is actually the supply of electrons. positive voltage is defined by 'holes' that are thirsty for electrons. Every single wire you've ever hooked up with a positive voltage is actually a miniature electron vacuum cleaner.

so why don’t know “why” electric fields and magnetic fields are fundamentally linked..

I mean I follow you but it’s a bit like going down a rabbit hole of particle physics and saying we don’t know “why” things act as they do.. I don’t think it’s possible to answer.. 🤷‍♂️

okay so more asimov and brain greene; thanks. i heard of the book "Elegant Universe", but the title is considered misleading or something?

idk about the title being misleading but.. welp

the other book I found super interesting was a feynmann one where he’s discussing using this clock metaphor system how to add up potentials of photons over different potential paths to find out what which paths a photo would take are more likely and for standard situations it’s as you predict but why making diffraction grates can make all sorts of unusual effects and seem to make photons bounce through what would classically be considered impossible paths

it wasn’t his lectures it was a book he wrote

gently caress I love science


I was mentioning today to my gf how fuckin obnoxious I would be if i hadn't been taught science in university, and understand the scientific method etc, because I never picked it up at school

like it's not like I woudn't have still become the person I am as far as wide interests reading the wikipedia all the time, only I wouldn't be applying critical thinking and science lol

i've been watching this series of 1950s lectures on aerodynamics called "the secret of flight." it's really cool stuff. everything is done with physical models and smoke tunnels and it's immediately clear what is going on. the lecturer is a weird old german guy but he's very good at explaining what's happening. i think for the first time i genuinely understand how lift is formed -- not just the high school "air travels faster on the upper surface" but also why the air goes faster and all the phenomena that that entails.

this was interesting

love fluids. did you know juice is a fluid?

something that I find incredibly interesting, but not because I actually *get* it

is this notion here where someone (Theodor Kaluza) was working with the precursor math and concepts to string theory

loving around with relativity, which is calculated with 4 dimensions, but added a dimension into the math (again, I get what dimensions are and I think I know what math is, but the actual meaning of this because I assume it's calculus is beyond me) and maxwells equations for electromagnetism pop out

that's quite "cool", as they say, if you ask me

originally we got the “this” and “that” the wrong way around thinking it flowed from this to that but really the charge flows from that to this

but the human construct of an electron being negative and positrons being positive is very practical and most excellent
