>Then the private sector that only benefits from such govt-funded research had better step up and invest in the research themselves

That won't happen. Greed has taken ahold of america. Blame the republican party. They have done so much damage to their country in just 20 years, that the world no longer even recognizes the once great america.

Why did you settle for something like engineering then? Did you have some sort of heard trama? Was your thinking impared in some way? Or are you just generally an underachiever?

Most people don't know what meta-physics actually is. Real metaphysics is philosophy, not science (or physics). Nor is it that new age nonsesne.

FYI:
Aristotle has various ideas on Ontology, Natural Theology, and universal science (logic shit). He grouped all them together (with some others ideas on such) in an untitled book (or at least the title was lost in time).

This book sat in the library of alexandria, next to the physics books. After all the wars and shit, when they went back to discover the books, not knowing what to call this book, they called it "the book next to the physics books". Or simpliefed "next to physics".

next to = "meta"
Hence, it is translated as "metaphysics".

That woman is a fucking whore!

What should I do my particle physics Phd dissertation on?

Any ideas?

>If anything, the Hamiltonian is the generator

oHH....anit you the anon with the bIG Brains.
I see what you are saying. It is true in a basic linear algebra sort of way. H generates energy is the same thing as saying, enegry oberservation would generate the energy. Which is kinda true but kinda trivial.

Why time generates energy:
Take any system with homogenious time, apply symmetry -> energy is conserved

Take any system with inhomogenious time, apply symmetey -> energy is not conserved

Take a system with no time, apply symmetry -> system has no energy (not "0" energy, no energy)

Time generates the property we call energy.

That's a shame, I would expect more of a Mod.

The point was:
Assuming public opinion on a scientifc subject, is the same as a the actual opinion or consensus of scientists, is laughable.

Likewise, giving the opinion of the public any real legitimacy (concerning science) is a laspe in logic.

You say that the common people think ____insert random bullshit about aliens___.
And my retort is, why do you give a shit about what common people think?

Their opinion is worthless. Common people don't know shit about space, never studied biology, physics, asrophysics, astrobiology, etc. Basically, they aren't able to make an educated opinion about alien life. They essentially have no fuckin idea what they are talking about.

Understand?

In the natural state of nature: each person has unlimited natural freedoms, including the "right to all things" and thus the freedom to harm all who threaten our own self-preservation. With everyone exercising these freedoms there would be an endless "war of all against all" (Bellum omnium contra omnes).

To avoid this, free men establish i.e. civil society through a social contract. The things you call "morals" are just the fundemental laws in the social contract.

While you may think that your morals are "subjective", they are really just an "objective" set of principles based on the social contracts of those before you.

Things you call "morals" were actually taught to you. Example: "don't kill", "don't steal", "respect your elders"...blah blah blah. These are all "learned".

>having problems conceptualizing "something from nothing."

wtf do you assume that you should be able to conceptualize shit? I dont understand your reasoning.

So you are just gonna keep posting the same sentance over and over? HA HA HA

I am trying to explain it to you, but you seem to have this innate disregard for known physics. You enjoy just making up nonsense and believing in it? Religious much?

It is obvious my efforts are wasted trying to teach you anything, I'll leave and just let the trolls post more homosexual pics. Enjoy being ignorant faggot!

Yes Gambit, and various characters.
I've seen most of them , but only remeber a few of the names.
Mirage = in Green
Mystique = blue girl
Random = grey dude
Exodus = Guy with gold thinks on his back
Sunfire = Guy on fire

You want pictures or me to talk about physics?
Make up your mind.
Do you have any particular question regarding particle physics?

>Is the difference in time dilation very much between absolute zero and lab/practical temperatures?

Wtf are you talking about? I think you are confused.

A single decay is a subatomic process, it is effectivtly smaller then "temperature". The concept of temperature makes no sense to a single decaying particle.

Yes, Physics Phd program.

Rice University, they are very selective.
Ranked 27 I think. They pay much better then most of the Top Ten's though.
Environment is fine. Any questions in particular?

>>1260987
Debate? Why would I debate with children?
I am just here for the laughs!
