I don't know how true this is but pretty strange if it is.

Better yet, you can eat two or three or as many pis that you want and the sin would still be zero.

$\sin(\pi e) \approx 0.774$

 

[jbriggs444]

$\sin(\pi e) \approx 0.774$

$\sin \frac{3 \pi}{2} = -1$.

If you and your girlfriend split three pies, that should leave you with a free sin to spend somehow.

Dealing with geometric algebra++. (No more pseudovectors.)

GA is catching on in computer graphics as easier to work with than the dual of quaternions.

 

[sysprog]

@Hornbein, taking GA to mean geometric algebra, maybe working with voxels is GA enough for 3D computer graphics.

Personally, I'm more than a little alarmed about the Omicron infection function's apparent ability to travel backward in time...

Why are you alarmed? If the infection has the ability to travel backward in time, then the worst has already happened.

If evolution is true, why don't we see animals change into other animals right away?

John Smith

They do. Here we see a cat instantly change into a giant vicious bear killer.

I recently heard about a novel in which Shrodinger's cat and Pavlov's dog team up for a cross-country adventure. So I headed on down to the library to see if they had a copy.

The librarian said that my description rang a bell but she wasn't sure if it was there or not.

In the 1970's, the Pail and Shovel Party won the student government election at University of Wisconsin - Madison. They made three campaign promises:

Cover Bascom Hill with pink flamingos
Bring the Statue of Liberty to Lake Mendota
Party till the money was gone.

Probably the only case in history where a political party fulfilled every campaign promise.

Yeah - that'll give him a shock after that kind of behaviour.

Only if you're using radians!

 

[sysprog]

Only if you're using radians!

Yes, but even otherwise, the sin of pi is of practically negligible degree.

 

[fresh_42]

Yes, but even otherwise, the sin of pi is of practically negligible degree.

I don't think that any religion ever put a sin on pie.

So you have to be bipolar, however depressive at least, to study thermodynamics and statistical mechanics successfully?

 

[Ibix]

Steve Julian, who lectured me in thermodynamics, did his undergraduate degree at Toronto. Apparently the physics society was pretty active (the campus was in the middle of nowhere, he said) and ran monthly socials styled as "Einstein's Birthday Party", or Newton's, or other famous physicists. Unfortunately, there don't seem to be any famous physicists with birthdays in September, so they didn't have a name for their first party of the academic year. But Boltzmann killed himself in September - so the "welcome to the PhysSoc" event was the Boltzmann Suicide Party.

Or so he told us. Dr Julian did a rather fine line in anecdotes to liven up a tough subject...

Hey, not my words! (Excerpt comes from Goodstein's "States of Matter")

Well, bipolar, blind, and over 60. I can at least understand him [Boltzmann] a bit. Ehrenfest was a little younger, and only depression is reported. However, he doubted that he could proceed to do physics, and suffered from his son's handicap (trisomy 21). It was different back then. And both had a world war coming up!

No worries. Just background information for general knowledge.

Carl David Anderson - discovered the positron and the muon.
Arthur Compton - Compton effect
John Dalton - atoms
Michael Faraday - electromagnetism
Enrico Fermi - nuclear physics and much more

That's just a small selection from A-F.

 

[Ibix]

That's just a small selection from A-F.

Then it's most likely that the Toronto physics society committee had a morbid sense of humour...

Aaand the Jokes thread takes a wrong turn...

The topic of today's tutorial will be the calculus of statistical mechanics.
How does that make you feel?
