Vega Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 YEAH IT'S NOT EVEN NEEDLEWORK, IT'S LITERALLY JUST TYING KNOTS IN THE RIGHT STRING. THE FIRST ROW OR TWO ARE A BIT MESSY BUT THEN YOU GET INTO THE PATTERN AND DON'T EVEN REALLY NEED TO THINK ABOUT IT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paporomantic Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 @Cassiopeia IT'S BETTER FOR ME TO FOCUS ON EARNING DOLLARS NOW, SO THAT I CAN RETIRE FASTER. EARNING WILL BE MUCH HARDER WHEN I'M OLDER AND MY MENTAL AGILITY IS WORSE. STRICTLY SPEAKING, I SHOULDN'T BE FORUMING RIGHT NOW, BUT I'M BEING SLIGHTLY DEPRESSED.

WELL, THEN I'D ESPECIALLY RECOMMEND IT. THE SENSE OF ACHIEVEMENT WHEN CREATING ART IS A GREAT ANTI-DEPRESSANT, AND IT TECHNICALLY HELPS YOU TO FOCUS AT WORK AS CREATIVITY HELPS TO PRESERVE NEUROPLASTICITY AND REFINES FINE MOTOR SKILLS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paporomantic Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 THERE SEEMS TO BE A STRONG CORRELATION BETWEEN STUDYING ASTROPHYSICS AND AROMANTIC ASEXUALITY [IN THE SENSE THAT THE PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE STUDIED ASTROPHYSICS AT SOME POINT - WHICH I'VE NEVER DONE - IS ENORMOUSLY HIGHER AMONG AROCALYPTIST AVENITES THAN AMONG PEOPLE IN GENERAL]. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vega Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 GRAVITATIONAL WAVES ARE SUPER COOL. O____O YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE ARE COOL? PULSARS. PULSARS ARE AWESOME. WHY DOES NOBODY IN OUR UNI STUDY PULSARS. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paporomantic Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I WONDER HOW ANYONE EXCEPT TOTAL GENIUSES CAN APPLY QUANTUM RELATIVITY. IT'S A COMBINATION OF TWO THEORIES THAT ARE CRAZILY COMPLEX ON THEIR OWN. LET ALONE STRING THEORY. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vega Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 THERE IS A REASON I AM STUDYING ASTROPHYSICS AND NOT THEORETICAL PHYSICS.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paporomantic Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 DON'T ALL UNI-LEVEL PHYSICISTS HAVE TO KNOW [AT LEAST A BIT] AND APPLY THEORY ANYWAY [Q] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vega Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 OH YEAH, I'VE FINISHED BASIC STUDIES IN THEORETICAL PHYSICS AND THEY'RE REQUIRED FOR ALL PHYSICS MAJORS. AND WE'VE HAD COSMOLOGY AND RELATIVITY IN SOME ASTROPHYSICS COURSES AS WELL. BUT MASTER'S STUDIES IN THEORETICAL PHYSICS ARE A WHOLE WORLD OF THEIR OWN. UNFORTUNATELY OUR THEORETICAL PHYSICS PROFESSOR WAS NOT THE BEST FOR TEACHING AN INTRO CLASS, HE KINDA SEEMED TO FORGET THAT WE WOULD NOT KNOW CONCEPTS AND EQUATIONS THAT ARE OBVIOUS TO MORE ADVANCED STUDENTS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vega Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I THINK A LOT OF RESEARCHERS ARE REALLY BAD AT TEACHING UNDERGRAD BECAUSE THEY'RE SO USED TO TALKING WITH OTHER PROFESSORS AND PHD STUDENTS AND THEN THEY FORGET THAT SAYING "THE SPEED OF LIGHT EQUALS 1" IS PERFECTLY LOGICAL TO A RESEARCHER BUT WILL CAUSE MIND EXPLOSION IN A FRESHMAN. I'M ACTUALLY SO GLAD THAT ONE OF OUT ASTRO TEACHERS IS JUST AMAZING. HE'S GREAT AT EXPLAINING STUFF AND IS GENERALLY JUST GREAT AND IT'S LOVELY TO HAVE TEACHERS I REALLY ENJOY. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vega Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW HARD THAT HAS TO BE. ONCE MY FRIEND (A HUMANITIES STUDENT) ASKED ME TO EXPLAIN THE CMB TO HER. AND IT WAS LIKE...

I'M NOT SURE IF A GENERIC SCHOOL STUDENT COULD UNDERSTAND IT. GENERAL RELATIVITY [THE BASIS FOR GRAVITATIONAL WAVE STUDY] AND QUANTUM MECHANICS REQUIRE A HEAVY HIGHER MATH APPARATUS THAT'S TAUGHT TO MATH UNI JUNIORS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zema Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 DODGYPOTATO WAS TRYING TO CONVINCE ME TO CHANGE TO THE ASTROPHYSICS ANS SPACE SCIENCES COURSE. I REFUSE TO CHANGE FROM BSC(ADV) BECAUSE I'LL PROBABLY END UP DOING SOMETHING LIKE QUANTUM PHYSICS OR CHEMISTRY, NOT ASTROPHYSICS. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A MUCH BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF ORBITAL MECHANICS THAN QUANTUM MECHANICS . (BUT I ALSO LIKE CHEMISTRY). KEEP IN MIND THAT BOTH DODGYPOTATO AND I ARE FIRST YEAR UNI STUDENTS! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aihpen Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 MY PHYSICS TEACHER ALWAYS WANTED ME TO STUDY PHYSICS BECAUSE I WAS GREAT AT IT IN SCHOOL, BUT I'VE NEVER REALLY ENJOYED IT. IT WAS EASY AND I GOT GOOD MARKS, BUT I'D ALWAYS CHOOSE ART OVER IT NO MATTER WHAT. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
