QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Admissions Statement of purpose critique request (high-energy theory PhD application).Did you have any luck this cycle? -
QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Admissions Could I please get critique on my SOP? (Experimental Biophysics).How did it go? Was the funding situation as bad as I had been led to believe?

QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Graduate Exact symmetry, quantum states, and symmetric dynamics.Did it? I was under the assumption that parts of the system interacting with each other doesn't break the symmetry of the whole. If the...

QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Graduate Exact symmetry, quantum states, and symmetric dynamics.I'm like 95% sure this is AI slop. Anyway: Picture the whole universe as one perfectly reversible machine. Its state changes in a way...

QuarkyMeson reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Undergrad Help me understand indeterminism in standard quantum mechanics with
Like.
That role is interpretation dependent. In some interpretations, such as the MWI, there is no actual randomness anywhere; everything is... -
QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Schools How good and well-known is the physics program at RPI?.MIT is on a 5.0 scale, so a 4.0 would be a straight B student! That's not really the point you're trying to make, but you can...

QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Schools How good and well-known is the physics program at RPI?.Go to the school where you pay the least amount of money for your degree, within reason. At my university which is a "lower ranked"...

QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Undergrad How can you model charge?.Spin is a quantum mechanical property. It's intrinsic angular momentum which isn't literally a classical rotation at all. Take an...

QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Will anyone alive today see a permanent colony on the Moon or Mars?.Doubtful, there is just no economic reason to. All other exploration and colonization was generally tied to a solid economic thesis. If...

QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Admissions Graduating a year early anxieties + grad school.Also I just wanted to add, if it's possible for you to graduate you can still apply for graduate school this fall. If you get accepted...

QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Is A.I. more than the sum of its parts?.But brain neurons change, form new connections, die, etc in response to outside stimuli. The artificial neurons don't really change even...

QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Is A.I. more than the sum of its parts?.I mean they sample from PDF's to generate their output. Even the models weights are fuzzed for models like Chatgpt depending on user...

QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Admissions Graduating a year early anxieties + grad school.I don't think anyone will care? How long you spent in a program wasn't part of the applications. The only thing a shorter undergrad...

QuarkyMeson reacted to jedishrfu's post in the thread Studying Interested in Astronomy as a Freshman with Like.
Thats awesome. I can relate to working as an undergrad. I worked at a dept store as a sweeper/maint in the evenings to a small...

QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Graduate Is the 2-qubit singlet state invariant under bilateral projections?.I mean, just so you know I agree with you. I don't think span preservation for quantum states is a good definition of invariance. The 0...
