AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the absence of a dedicated off-topic section for music and movies in a physics forum. Participants highlight the existence of a General Discussion forum, but some feel it lacks engaging content related to entertainment. There’s a humorous exchange about the "no-fun room," referring to the Politics Forum, and a debate on the perceived dullness of physics compared to casual topics. Despite the banter, some members defend the importance and excitement of physics, emphasizing its relevance to everyday life and the universe. The conversation blends humor with a critique of the forum's content offerings, showcasing a desire for more diverse discussions.

hey

on other forums i go on they have off topic stuff like music, films, favourite celebrities,,why don't u guys have one, a place to "relax" and take ur mind off physics, i think its a great idea
 
Physics news on Phys.org
We DO have that:

General Discussion forum in the PF LOUNGE!
 
...

yeah buy there's no music or film stuff in there isn't it all more science stuff?
 
We also have the 'no-fun room'. We call it the Politics Forum. If you are bad, we'll send you there! :wink:

Yep... ex-inmates are still traumatised... yess...

Yes there is. Just most of the favourite color/food/music/fashion accessory/celebrity/reprint of Feynman Lectures/6 letter word stuff have disappeared over the years, as people began to realize they were in fact boring as hell.
 
not half as boring as physics

ur trying to tell me that u enjoy doing physics more than just talking about normal stuff? clearly mad

What! Blasphemy! Break out the heretic burning kit, oh brothers!

Ok, admittedly some of physics is dull - and it is a travesty that this tends to be the bit that is repeated again and again and again in school, turning a fair percentage of people against physics.

But physics is interesting, really.

Look up at the stars - physics can tell us what is really out there, how everything began, and how we will end up - the entire future of mankind.

Look at yourself - physics explains the key mechanism behind your bodies, shows us what holds them together.

Look at your computer screen - that is the culmination of centuries of physical science, accelerating phenomenally.

Look at the world around you - it is all physics in action.

One can not avoid doing physics - existence is a physical action. What the study of physics is looking at what we, and everything else, has, is and will be doing.

What is more interesting than that?

(The burning at the stake thing is a joke. Zero, PLEASE put that petrol can down!)

a dog licking its ass is more interesting than physics

That depends on the coefficient of friction of the dog's tongue.
