Also lmao at picking two super unrelated things

Replying to Garbage #garbageatgaming I do quantum tunneling and orbital decay
oh do say more
(i hope to go into condensed matter physics but more fundamental stuff like that really interests me)
I did a single course in condensed
when I was applying for my masters, I applied for both physics and applied math, and I did get an offer from a condensed matter prof at my school who tried to snipe me early when he saw my application
but I did not want to do condensed
They decay into strings
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak I did a single course in condensed
me loving statmech even though the course itself was hell is whats pushing me towards that
My statmech course was taught by an asshole, so I was not the biggest fan of that course
Replying to legorhin #jazardly leptons are elementary so i don't think they are supposed to decay at all
leptons are elementary so far (/j)
and my thermal physics course was taught by a guy who literally dumpster dives to get new fridges, so it was also a meme class

mine was by a GOAT who made it impossibly difficult

we had it all in one course 😭

How many fridges did he need?
a lot
dude loved fridges
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak They decay into strings
What happens when the strings decay?
they enter a lower resonance of vibration
I would assume if string theory were real, they cannot stop
they have a ground level of vibration
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak dude loved fridges
was he like stealing the compressors?
no, he just took old lab equipment that was being thrown out for being old
he'd come to class excited to tell us about the new cryostat he had
Replying to Particleboy04 #particleboy04 like i would have done research in it but i don’t like ml lol
have you done ml or do you just hate programming?
Replying to legorhin #jazardly have you done ml or do you just hate programming?
um i’ve done it a bit and it’s not something that really interests me
i kinda like programming
i wouldn’t want to do it or think about it full time though
So like what if light pulses and that causes the vibrations that would be cool, and then those vibrations are strings some how, IDK how that works, and those strings make up shit like positrons and photons, which will make up protons. they can all decay, but it takes a real long time because our universe is like full of energy or something. but like after a long enough time everything will slow down.
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak no, he just took old lab equipment that was being thrown out for being old
the lab i’m in rn has so many old oscilloscopes that are literally never used and I want to ask my prof if i could steal one

Interestingly my quantum prof was showing us some of his research where you can use the paraxial helmholtz equations as an analogue to a 2d schrödinger equation
I understand what you just said
Garbage has no chance
Sadly, there is no nobel for mathematics
I need to win the fields medal
yeah isn't it before you are 30?
or at least the work needs to be done before then
yeah I knew it was 3x
I have 4 years effectively
I could totally wow them with my PhD work and win one
its possible
oh even better
Its to reward promissing new researchers
I believe
I think statistically, most impressive work is done earlier in academics careers though
that is true
If I was getting it, it would be for theoretical work. I would 100% have to split it with an experimentalist
P = NP if N = 1
or if P = 0
I solved it fully
what headway has there been into an P=NP proof beyond looking for examples, if any headway has been made?
The inability to prove the existnce of a counter example is not a valid proof though, that just means we can never know, not that P = NP or P neq NP
I have no idea, the only millenium problem I have any passing knowledge of is Navier Stokes because I took a few courses in fluids
