The math is describing reality - but that’s why I highlighted that the math predicted it long before there was experimental evidence.
From what we know about the quantum realm (my physics professor liked using that description, as if it’s a whole different existence), it appears that it’s actually the opposite: reality is obeying the math. Consider how wild that is - particle interactions are doing what they do because of how mathematics works. Something that we humans came up with to describe observations.
So the way I “understood” the spin-statistics theorem is that it’s basically this:
A given particle with a given intrinsic spin has a direct relationship to a collection of the same particles as a consequence of quantum math. Yeah. Just “it’s related.”
Proving that math is really freaking difficult and you need to use relativistic quantum field theory. I think it was Richard Feynman who said “We apologize for the fact that we cannot give you an elementary explanation.”
Actually when I graduated there was another professor (can’t remember his name) who was discussing his frustration with how they still can’t explain it without all of QFT steps.
Basically, this is where the shared attitude of “the more you know about quantum physics, the more confusing it becomes.”
It’s a lot more complicated than that even.
Pauli Exclusion Principal is that two or more identical particles of half integer spin cannot occupy the same quantum state. So two electrons in an orbital must be made of a +1/2 and -1/2 spin. This is evidenced by observation, but the prediction was made long before that.
This is because the total wave function for fermions is antisymmetric (bosons, like the photon, are symmetric). It’s sort of hard to describe how this works without paper and pen, but essentially there is different formula of solving a wave function. A symmetric wave function is a sum, and an antisymmetric wave function is a difference. The issue arises when you have two identical particles - symmetric functions can be any state as it results in a solution >0. If you have an assymetric function of two identical particles, the result is 0, which isn’t a valid state.
The very uncomfortable part of physics is here: when we ask “why” the answer based on the math and the observation is quite literally “because that is the way math works.” It’s fundamental - just like x * 0 = 0.
With the exact same number of weapons and ammo. Stuff ain’t cheap or easy to come by, plus they can use rocks.
Know what?
I’m thinking you might be right. Walking that confidently? The show of police presence? The assuredness of the police? The publicly shared evidence? A guy that kinda fits the profile?
He’s also a smart dude. He sees this for what it is. He also probably understands that regardless of what happens, the public will probably obtain justice.
We’re all furious with the state of things. We’re furious over the lack of police accountability, the laws for the poor and not the elite. We’re furious that they can look at what health insurance can do to make profit, and let it be completely legal to let people die.
It doesn’t matter if he did or did not do the crime at this point. The elite showed their hand too early, the public is calling it. He’s probably scared shitless, but he knows. He knows that regardless of what the outcome is, the people have rallied to him. He knows they can’t risk making him a martyr, and an acquittal would be devastating. The entire Spirit of the Constitution (regardless of it’s interpretation by the Supreme Court) and the people is behind him.
He knows justice is coming.
Everything!
My favorite part is when he stands up to talk to the mirrored glass the handcuffs just pop apart like they weren’t even there in the first place. Four military soldiers in this picture for a man who could literally turn them into pink mist
VS the entourage NYPD gave Luigi. An unarmed man with a back injury. They really are scared.
I wonder why
We really need to do something about him.
Any ideas?
He still thinks a trade deficit is bad.
Goddamn
That works too. It just needs to get caught in a single prop for it to go down
You know, there’s no reason we can’t have anti-drone fireworks.
They don’t really even need dangerous amounts of explosives, they just need a strong net to get caught in a prop.
Drones are pretty damn slow if you compare it to a rocket.
We got Mr. Really Fun At Parties here huh?
Never heard of Gallows Humor eh?
Didn’t Domino’s do a stupid Pizza insurance thing?
Is it a multi species pandemic yet? I missed 2020-2021 so bad. I loved not being around people.
Man, Mao’s policies got so many people killed that “only” 3-4m people died of famine.
He’s got an incredible kill count.
Ah, well, blessing in disguise then. For a good chunk of time software engineers were in demand. For whatever reason, I can’t remember if it was embedded or application level though.
That’s one thing I appreciate about Lemmy. Without a doubt you are all people of logic.
If you have used Matlab, Or R, there is a huge range of data science that only really requires an undergrad in math. Hospitals that run their own Clinical Trials usually have a consistent need.
Really you’re eligible for anything statistics related, and there is a lot out there. Some job titles to look for:
