Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.



Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

In condensed matter physics, a time crystal is a quantum system of particles whose lowest-energy state is one in which the particles are in repetitive motion. The system cannot lose energy to the environment and come to rest because it is already in its quantum ground state. Because of this, the motion of the particles does not really represent kinetic energy like other motion; it has "motion without energy".

4 is the worst possible answer there is.

You either accept a simple model (fitting the audience/context) or your being pedantic about it, then the answer is anything >=5, but definitely not 4.

My earth science teacher denied plasmas are a thing when I mentioned it

This was 8th grade

I Immediately lost all respect for her and if present day me were around for it I'd have taken her idiocy to the union rep to recommend she prove she actually has the education she claims to have had.

My 6th grade science teacher tried to explain that Chernobyl was foretold in the book of revelations.

This was a US public school. In the 90s. In a blue state.

My history teacher taught us conspiracy theories and Vietnam War movie quotes. On jfk we spent two whole lessons on umbrella man, lessons on box cart hobos, missing frames of the z film, back and to the left...

Decent state school in the UK in the 90s. Kinda reassuring the world was just a crazy back then

lessons on box cart hobos

Assuming this means life advice for living free on the land and not being murdered, raped, or robbed, then excellent.

Ha I wish, after the shooting police arrested several hobos from the train yard behind the grassy knoll, years later people said they were the same people that burgled Watergate and probably Cia agents. I think the best evidence for that is that they look a bit like them kinda, obvious proof the Cia killed Kennedy.

You're probably the kind of person who complains that they don't teach complex numbers when first introducing square roots in school.

Not really no. It's a meme. Although, now that you mention it …

To learn to count to 10, we first have to understand quaternions.

The fundamentals of math takes like 700 pages before it gets to 1+1=2

Depends into how much detail you go.

My prof. at uni. did a nice summary in two and a half pages.
