How Are Tsinghua Students Using the Friedmann Equation to Protest Lockdowns?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Tsinghua University students are utilizing the Friedmann Equation to articulate their protests against lockdowns, emphasizing the concept of constant, eternal expansion as a metaphor for societal openness. The discussion highlights the distinction between Tsinghua University in Beijing, China, and National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan, clarifying their separate identities. The conversation also touches on intercampus exchanges, although specifics remain unclear. Overall, the use of scientific principles in activism reflects a unique approach to social issues.

"Tsinghua students, true to form, protesting lockdowns with the Friedmann Equation: the basic reality of the universe is constant, eternal expansion, or put another way, opening up."

Hi, I would like some more information on Tsinghua University. Should we have to thank Temple University, Philadelphia?
Moderator, chinese twitter isn't been removed from my pc, here in Europe.

Not right now, but yesterday I found there was some intercampus exchange. Maybe I've mistaken, or spelled the wrong way the University. Taiwan in the past, maybe?

There's a National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan, but the Tsinghua University in the OP is in the People's Republic of China. Beijing and Tsinghua are often said to be the top universities in China.
