@Mabande Just to make a counterpoint to this absurdity, there are already 1000 Mozarts and 1000 Einsteins. It just that most people don't pay that close attention to the #ClassicalMusic scene, and not every great composer gets that much exposure. And it turns out #Einstein was right about so much all the brilliant folks who are a #physicist are busy proving Einstein correct and expanding on his work. Rather foolish to think there are not very smart people today.

#OnThisDay Birth Anniversary of René Goscinny (1926) - creator of #Asterix.

Birth Anniversary of Danish #Physicist Hans Christian Ørsted (1777) - who discovered that electric currents create magnetic fields, which was the first connection found between electricity and magnetism. He is famous for Oersted's Law.

Happy Birthday Magic Johnson (1959).

Another of my prints related to Water Docs Film Festival #WaterDocsARTivism prompt: water and climate.

I printed my ‘Cloud Classification’ Lino block on beautiful ‘cloud unryu’ Japanese paper and painted the quotation, from renown Irish #physicist John Tyndall (1820-1893), “We live in the sky, not under it.”

American scientist & suffragette Eunice Foote (1819-1888) discovered the greenhouse effect,

Also called #physicist's common sense: whenever you encounter a #matrix, always discard non-diagonal terms.

Makes life simpler.
May provide a fairly good estimate of the result.

#Elon isn't a #physicist, or a #scientist of any sort, but he plays one on his shitty #hate platform. He's got a bad habit of confidently pretending to be the leading #expert in literally every subject, but 99.9% of the time he's just talking out of his silly South African ass. The only thing he's really an expert in is convincing others that he's an expert. That, and operating a secret #emerald mine.

Controversial #Physicist Faces Mounting Accusations of Scientific Misconduct
Allegations of data fabrication have sparked the retraction of multiple papers from Ranga Dias, a researcher who claimed discovery of a room-temperature #superconductor

As usual ScienceClic has beautiful visualizations and calm explanations of wacky #physics concepts — in this case, the Minkowski/Lorentz transformations that underly Special Relativity.

I’d love to get a reality check (so to speak :-)) from an actual #physicist on some of his speculative concluding remarks though; specifically that “the electric field is the time version of the magnetic field, and energy is the time version of momentum”. 1/2

#introduction So I completely forgor to do this after migrating, but I figure with a name change it's important I do this again anyways.

Howdy y'all! I'm Lucienne Loutranger! I am a #physicist turned #softwaredeveloper by day, and #vtuber #streamer by night who wants to get into teaching. I'm #nonbinary #trans, #pan, #furry, a #polyglot, an #artist working in 2D and 3D, a folk #musician, and a #VRChat enjoyer. If any of that sounds interesting to you, feel free to drop a follow!

Academic Jokes, my favorite

(Sorry for the nerd stuff)

A company sends three of its employees - an #engineer, a #physicist and a #mathematician - to a technical seminar that lasts over a week. During this time, all three have been put up in a nice hotel.

One night, the engineer wakes up and smells smoke. He goes out into the hallway and sees a fire. He goes back to his room, fills a bucket with water and puts out the fire. Then he goes back to sleep.

Some time later, the physicist wakes up and also smells smoke. He opens the door and immediately sees a fire in the hallway. He calmly goes to the nearest fire extinguisher and after calculating the flame size, propagation speed, oxygen content of the air, gas pressure in the extinguisher and several other factors, he finally aims at the calculated optimum point and can thus extinguish the fire with maximum efficiency and minimum effort.

Finally, the mathematician wakes up and smells smoke. He walks into the hallway, sees the blazing fire and the extinguisher. He thinks for a long time, plays through various approaches and calculations, types some formulas into his calculator, and after thinking for a while finally says, "Very good, the problem is solvable!"

@taxyovio I am a #physicist and I enjoyed it. I had read the book it was based on, American Prometheus, and I feel it did a pretty good job capturing the essence of it. You obviously get a lot more information and backstory from the book. The movie is told in a non-linear manner, which I think was done very well. The cinematography was good. If you are familiar with a lot of the Manhattan Project names, a lot of them are there, but not much is done to fill in their biographies than is needed for the story. From that standpoint it added another layer of enjoyment for me knowing who these secondary characters were and their importance in the grander scheme. You don't have to know anything about the science or the scientists to enjoy the movie, but if you do know a bit, it was nice to see that they got that stuff correct without beating you over the head about it. You get a lot more insight into Oppenheimer's personality and personal demons from the book that helps explain certain events, but that is a limitation imposed by the movie format.

at home watching physicist husband going to work to pursue what he loved. He insisted she return to grad school. Admitted to Georgetown at 23, expecting 2nd child. Writing her thesis, advisor Heyden got her in contact with #physicist George Gamow, who worked at nearby APL & adjunct at George Washington U who took her on as a student (PhD ‘54).

While 4 kids were young, she taught at Georgetown before gaining a position at Carnegie’s Dept of Terrestrial Magnetism.

Happy birthday to #physicist Harriet Brooks (1876 - 1933) who discovered atomic recoil, Radon & recognized radioactive elements could undergo chains of transmutations into a series of new elements. #nuclear #physics⁠
⁠
She was Rutherford’s 1st grad student at McGill. After publishing her results in 1899 she completed her MSc in 1901 on "Damping of Electrical Oscillations," before embarking on #radioactivity research.⁠
