A little bit of Physics and Chemistry

And one of the coolest websites I've come across in a while

​

http://sixtysymbols.com/#



Ever been confused by all the letters and squiggles used by scientists?

Hopefully this site will unravel some of those mysteries.

Sixty Symbols is a collection of videos about physics and astronomy presented by experts from The University of Nottingham.

They aren't lessons or lectures - and this site has never tried to be an online reference book.

The films are just fun chats with men and women who love their subject and know a lot about it!

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2009

"for studies of the structure and function of the ribosome"

http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/2009/index.html

These scientists basically solved the puzzle of how we're made from the machinery in a cell.

it is amazing how you can pour mercury like water almost but when you stick your finger in it you can barely more your finger.

your local bartender can also observe the laws of physics while making your drinks

 

[sean69]

Yep.
Our experience with water tends to bias our intuitions about the mechanics of other liquids. Which makes sense as ubiquitous as it is.

The behavior of Newtonian vs non-Newtonian fluids like fluids that thicken or thin out when they're mixed of flow.

Or liquid helium-4 that has zero viscosity. Technically not even a liquid (or gas)

Shawn, I know I go on the deep end at times, and often I offend, e-thugging is an art*smiles*. But I do want you to know that your posts are greatly appreciated by me. My humble and sincere gratitude, my dude...

 

[HALO2]

Thanks

Nigga fuck thanks, I got grades and reports to think about!!!

I mean, sure, my brother. We share the same interest in divided degrees. If you would, more post of the like would be greatly enjoyed...Your humble brother, OWL...

Good drop Sean!

That's crazy when you think about how important ribosomes are in the synthesis of proteins in co and post-translational translocation.

Also, can't mention those without these...

Didn't know you were over on this side posting heat bruh. I need to hang out more over here.

Rythm, if you're on synciti, go check out my science thread there.




Onz, did you check out that Sixty Symbols website? Brilliant.
The Nobel Prize in Physics is very well deserved. Fiber optics was a telecom game changer.

 

[BigUnc]

Good review site bruh

Thanks

much appreciated

The one symbol that represented Schrodinger's cat and the accompanying video was cool. You are right, that sight is great. I like how they break down each symbol. This is something that more and more kids and schools should have access to as teaching tools.

By the way Sean, do you know of any particular sites right off bat that deals in being able to either break down or teach advanced math...like that which would be utilized in quantum mechanics and theoretical physics?

Funny thing is that I always felt that I could always be stronger in math and even though it challenged me, it always fascinated me the most.

This would be a great gem to drop...

Hmm. Not that I know off of the top. But I've been a member of Physics Forum Message Board for a few years now and they have a pretty dope Mathematics forum. I'll as some of my friends on there.

However, the math of QM usually isn't basic algebra a calculus. It's more of complex numbers and operator algebra (the crux of QM)

Also differential equations, eigenvalues, vectors, matrices, high level trigonometry etc.

Here's a site that's fairy comprehensive but not too detailed.

Sean there are math forums?!


Please share!

I took analytical geometry and calc 1&2, differential equations, and know how to do vectors and matrices from those classes but I'm definitely rusty. You know that lab math is definitely not the same as that stuff Sean!

Thanks for the links though. I'll check them out...

Much obliged!
