AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a doctored photo of Trump in front of a blackboard filled with complex physics equations, suggesting themes from quantum mechanics and relativity. Participants analyze the content of the blackboard, noting elements like the uncertainty principle and electromagnetism, while humorously questioning the authenticity of the image and its educational context. There are jokes about the absurdity of the blackboard's complexity for a single lecture and speculation about the motivations behind the staged photo. The source of the image is identified as being from the movie "A Serious Man." Overall, the conversation blends humor with critiques of the image's credibility and the portrayal of Trump.

Some EM, QM, SR, and basic nuclear physics.

Uncertainty principle is on the lower left, and some relativistic mechanics and SR just above and slightly to the right of Trump.
 
LMAO Astronuc, SR is certainly just above Trump. And maybe a little to the right too, since he is a faux conservative. :biggrin:

I think I see something to do with electromagnetism in the top left. I'm guessing that is some non-euclidean geometry in the lower left. I can't make out any writing, is it my phone or is it terribly pixelated?
 
He's standing mighty close to that blackboard.

 
I wonder if that was the blackboard of some sadistic professor on the first day of an intro to mechanics course.

Would you do that to torture students, or do you have a heart?

I would cry, I keep putting off Introductory Physics! I had a bad experience in high school with it. :cry:

Trivia question (with an answer I do not know). What college lecture hall has the tallest chalkboard ? That's a chance for some small unknown school to make a name for itself.

That blackboard was obviously put together as a stunt. There's no way all that stuff could have accompanied a single lecture. It looks like someone (or a group) simply copied all the equations and diagrams from a typical second-year intro modern physics textbook.
