weirdoguy replied to the thread Learning physics beyond classical mechanics without labs?.I was sad doing those lab exercises. I know you are right in principle, but in practice some people just don't like labs and don't gain... -
weirdoguy reacted to TensorCalculus's post in the thread Learning physics beyond classical mechanics without labs? with
Like.
Hmm... I don't know if this will help, but there are some good science videos online? As mentioned in post #3 YouTube videos can help a... -
weirdoguy replied to the thread I Physicists disagree wildly on what quantum mechanics says about real….That is why I think that all those "foundations of quantum mechanics" and interpretational stuff are total waste of time at the moment...

weirdoguy reacted to bhobba's post in the thread I Physicists disagree wildly on what quantum mechanics says about real… with Like.
All experience says it is. What Wigner said still holds: https://webhomes.maths.ed.ac.uk/~v1ranick/papers/wigner.pdf In my opinion...

weirdoguy reacted to Meir Achuz's post in the thread B What is the difference between B and H? with
Sad.
What a weird response -
weirdoguy replied to the thread B Conservation of kinetic energy in expanding space.Which in practice means that we see expansion only at a very large scales. Expansion means that distance between non-gravitationally...

weirdoguy replied to the thread Learning physics beyond classical mechanics without labs?.Keep also in mind that's only Feynmans opinion, and it highly depends on what one means by "understand" and some other philosophical...

weirdoguy replied to the thread Learning physics beyond classical mechanics without labs?.I don't think so. Personally, I hated all labs, I did the bare minimum, I threw a wild party after the last lab, and I don't think it...

weirdoguy reacted to martinbn's post in the thread I Is there any interpretation of QM that doesn't clash with intuition? with Like.
Go on and explain my example. What is going on for the falling object to go on a parabolic path? Why not a log curve?

It is hard to distinguish between wrong interpretations and correct but unintuitive interpretations. I think that a lot of people just...

No, that is not an interpretation, it is how you use math to describe reality. How you describe it in English is an interpretation.

Skeptical.
the theory doesn't tell you to shut up and calculate though, that itself is an interpretation :) but otherwise, agreed -

You have missed the point. The theory, that is the "shut up and calculate" math theory does NOT cause confusion and in fact is, as the...

weirdoguy reacted to div_grad's post in the thread I Example of complete set of operators with Like.
In mechanics, degrees of freedom are understood in the same sense that is given in the textbook passages I sampled in post #7 above. It...

weirdoguy reacted to anuttarasammyak's post in the thread I Example of complete set of operators with Skeptical.
As for the terminology question "Does "degrees of freedom" apply only for the coordinates in 3D space or also for 6ND coordinates in...
