Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the introduction of a new member, jhooper3581 (Hooper), and includes various topics such as music preferences, humorous exchanges about fish, and a mention of the famous equation E=mc². The conversation touches on personal interests, the culture of the forum, and some playful banter, without delving deeply into physics concepts.

Discussion Character

  • Meta-discussion
  • Exploratory

Main Points Raised

  • Hooper expresses his aspirations to become a physicist and work for NASA after serving in the Navy.
  • Participants welcome Hooper and engage in light-hearted banter about music and fish.
  • There are references to classical music composers like Beethoven and Schubert, with some participants sharing their musical preferences.
  • Humorous exchanges about fish, including a recurring joke about a delivery truck filled with fish and the implications of the term "trout."
  • One participant corrects another regarding the equation E=mc², suggesting that real physicists might use units where c=1, leading to E=m for a massive particle at rest.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the light-hearted nature of the discussion, but there are differing interpretations of the equation E=mc² and its context, as well as varying levels of familiarity with the musical references.

Contextual Notes

Some assumptions about the humor and culture of the forum may not be fully understood by new members. The playful references to fish and music may require additional context for clarity.

Who May Find This Useful

New members of the forum, individuals interested in physics and music, and those who enjoy light-hearted discussions within a scientific community may find this thread engaging.

Hello,

Well, I am one of the members of MyMathForum (my name there is johnny). I always like mathematics, and I am going into the Navy in February of 2010 for the Nuclear Power Program, which is based on nuclear physics. I always want to become a good physicist, and after the Navy, I want to go to NASA in Houston for becoming a scientist, that's my dream. I hope I can contribute a lot to this forum, and post more often. My other talents include music and art. Now, I always liked classical music, especially Ludwig van Beethoven. When I listened to his Moonlight sonata, it just blew my mind. And for art, I always liked Picasso, he has a very good taste of art.


Anyways, nice to meet you guys!

Oh and btw, my last name is Hooper, and most people who knows me in face-to-face calls me Hooper, so if you want, call me Hooper, or Hoop. hahaha it's cool

WATCH OUT HUMANINO!

I've got to back this delivery truck into this thread!

Now. Who ordered the truckload of fish?

Funny thing- Last time I delivered here, people just started throwing fish at this new guy. I'll tell ya! The people you meet on this job... Also, Welcome Hooper!

Thank you, humanino!

To be quite honest, I have hardly listened to Schubert's music, but I will try to haha I listen to a lot of Beethoven's symphonies lately. I will try to listen to Schubert in the future. I have also listened to other musical genres, like classic rock and blues. Stevie Ray Vaughan is my favorite guitarist, he has one of the most interesting guitar noise. Eric Clapton is also one of my favorite guitarists. Do you listen to those guys?
 
E = mc^2, not mc^0. :biggrin:

Now. Who ordered the sea bass?


Also, Welcome Hooper! (The fish references will start making sense soon, I promise.)
Yo sup, G01!

I think humanino meant Trout as a musical piece written by Schubert. But haha it seems like this forum will be a interesting place. Although I don't eat fish very much, I would rather go to fishing, and once I catch them, I WOULD SCIENTIFICALLY KILL ALL THOSE FISHES. RATHER FUN THAN EATING THOSE SILLY BASSES. lol jk, but see, it's all cool.

Ah Hoop, believe me, there was a reason humanino didn't capitalize trout! :biggrin:

(We have a strange welcome ritual here. Just go with it. And watch out for the frozen fish. They hurt when they're swung hard enough.)

I like Franck Zappa, the guy with the noisy guitar. But let's come back to fishing. You may pick your favorite in G01's truck. I'm sure the sisters won't be long.

Frank Zappa! That dude reminds me of the song called Smoke on the Water.

Fishing! I would be very curious to find out what is in G01's truck. And "trout" is not capitalized, eh? lol haha we have some funny peoples in here! I like that!


Umm I would like 1000 basses, 50 trouts, and 6000 burned fishes and 20 frozen fishes, since frozen fishes hurt, when they're swung hard enough, but burned fishes feel good if they're swung easy enough.

Oh and here, jhooper, take a couple ibuprofen :smile:. And and ice pack.

Someone is supposed to jump in and say that real physicists work in units with c = 1 and so E = m is correct for a massive particle at rest.

Hello, lisab. I will love it here hehe and yes it is a lot of fish. And I will take the ice pack haha

Civilized, I've never heard of that before (c = 1 thing). Interesting idea.
