What little I drank, I am reducing even more. Not only does it give me murderous heartburn - which means I don't sleep, but - as the only driver in my fam - it can wreak havoc on evening plans. It's just too much of a hassle.

Twice in my life I drank to excess, mostly to see what it was like. The resulting euphoria was negligible, the loss of dexterity and control annoying and the aftereffects painful. So I never developed the taste or the habit. Clearly I do not have the alcoholism gene.

About once a year I get the feeling I'd like a drink. So I lie down until the feeling goes away. :)

I will have a little Dom if I buy it for my GF but only a half a glass or so. No sense ruining a hot date!

Apparently I had not read the chapter ahead of time, so when my old-school Swiss physics professor walked in and introduced the concept of canonical coordinates, I thought he meant conical coordinates but was drunk.

prof. can we not do projectile motion problems without air resistance and instead do some real physics like unifying gravity with quantum mechanics??!

This attitude deserves a name, but I haven't come up with one. It would have to be the opposite of a "sweet spot." The panel was based on that maddening phenomenon of online queries from people whose Google has apparently stopped working.

Perhaps it should be called or lmgtfy-itis (LetMeGoogleThatForYou-Itis):

https://lmgtfy.app/?q=a+thing+I+don't+know&iie=1I use lmgtfy all the time, whenever someone is too lazy to "Google a thing I don't know".

 

[BillTre]

I like the lmgtfy idea, but it is a horrid collection of letters.

I read the first letter (ell) as a capital eye; thinking img... something to do with images...

EDIT, so maybe it works better in all caps: LMGTFY. Or not.

I hope none of the QM guys sees this. Another reason to start a discussion of how the wave function collapses by measurement.

Who knew that all these years there was Quantum Mechanics buried in cartoons?

So if a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?

Well, yes and no.

I've always liked Jim Ignatowski's take on that question:

Sure but Jim was a classical physicist.

Yep, this... But it's not complete. I'll add my own below, you can too.

Wouldn't it be Quantum Gravity?

Dirac's a chad for sure rumor says to break the ice when he met Feynman he said"I have an equation named after me, do you?"
one can only wonder what Feynman's reaction would have been to this!

Considered putting this into a Covid thread, but there were way too many to figure out where it might be most appropriate.

Some more from the replies to the above tweet:

• A set of Set Theorists
• A chord of string theorists.
• An assembly of compiler designers.
• A culture of microbiologists (or a colony)
• A bouquet of botanists
• ... and so on.

"It's the only way to be sure."

Quite by coincidence, I just used that quote in a recent post of mine in the astrophotography thread:
https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/our-beautiful-universe-photos-and-videos.800540/post-6554157
(the comic quote changed "site" to "planet," but it's the same idea.)

For those interested, here is the origin of the quote:
