>Don't go too deep into linear algebra and ignore anything that involves group theory, it's going to be bullshit.
Most of physics is just applied linear algebra and group theory. You can haul your filtered ass back to engineering.

>Actually, it's meson, not mesotron. The Greek word mesos doesn't have tr
WHO THE FUCK CARES, HEISENBERG??? IT'S JUST A NAME, IT DOESN'T MATTER!!!
I hate "well, actually..." scientists so much, Yukawa was the one who deserved the right to name the mesotron, but Heisenberg convinced everyone that his name was trash and that they should use Heisenberg's name instead.
I'm glad he got kidney cancer and died.

This is what a scientist looks like.
Show the children.
Especially white children.

What did Werner Heisenberg mean when he said, “The first gulp from the glass of natural sciences will turn you into an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass god is waiting for you”?

Tell me about him. Was he based?

“I think thatmodern physicshas definitelydecided in favor of Plato. In fact the smallest units of matter are not physical objects in the ordinary sense; they are forms, ideas which can be expressed unambiguously only in mathematical language.”

Imagine me DPing your mom all by myself, and in such a way some places in her get twice as many sperms as normal and others get none, and nobody can ever tell exactly what happened so a bunch of fucking retards come up with handwavey mumbo jumbo about how my dick travelled back in time to communicate with itself because popsci faggots can't wrap their heads around the fact information isn't energy.

*Quantum Tunnels Behind You*

Nothing Personal, Kids

Wiener Heisenbooger, the inventor of the moon. When he was a little boy he used his trampoline everyday to jump to the moon. He spent his times there jerking off to midget porn on his iphone7.

Then one day, while Wiener was beating off on the moon, mice were invading his home down on earth. A swarm of mice eventually found Wiener's trampoline and made their way to the moon where they found Wiener Heisenbooger. Wiener got scared and blew a load into the leader mouse's throat; it was death by suffocation.

In an act to avenge their fallen leader, the mouse pack ate Wiener's ball sack. This made the semen spill and it eventually covered the whole moon, making it glow because of it's fluorescent properties.

When asked why the moon glowed in the dark, Wiener Heisenbooger made up the story about how the sun gave off light to prevent telling the embarrassing truth. This explanation expanded upon it's self with an equation called E=mc^2, also known as the uncertainty principle.

and how would he know that anon?

Was Werner Heisenberg jewish? I remember reading on Wikipedia a long time ago that he was, but then I looked it up again and it doesn't say he's jewish anymore. Then I looked at another website that said he wasn't a jew. I mean jew by race not religion, so don't try and pull crap like "He was an atheist."


Which one is it, was he a jew or not?

>Scientists in general don't fall into the childish trap of nationalism. Well, not any further than they have to to secure government grants, anyway.
the most stupid statement of the whole /sci/ history.

As mentioned earlier, 'measurement' means interaction between two particles, not 'sentient being measures the particle thru observation'.

That said, this is still wrong:
>If you were some supernatural being who could know the position and momentum of all particles at once without measuring them, then you would still be able to predict everything that is going to happen.

Because even with perfect information about particle positions and momentums, there are plenty of other random phenomena, such as spontaneous decay. Not to mention position/momentum are not the only operater pairs incuded under the Heisenburg principle.

No, because I'd attempt to analyze the attributes of the "car", and then try to define it. Don't go saying "we don't know what attributes are" because that then becomes a matter of philosophy that's discussed by 20th century thinkers like Wittgenstein. Lets just assume we're talking about fucking physicists here, and we know what we're talking about.

I mean that's the hardest part, which is why I was just scrounging around for subjective opinions on who's made the largest leaps. I don't know if you can quantify this (maybe in the future there actually is a neurological way to examine the degree to which people are logical/creative?) but for now lets just use our opinions?

I never took physics in college, just the calculus sequence and stats/econometrics. Out of curiosity, how important was Heisenberg to the founding of Quantum Mechanics? I know he received his nobel prize for "creation" of the field, but really compared to other fathers of the science (Planck, Bohr, Dirac, Pauli, Schrodinger, Feynman) I was wondering wither his contributions fit right within the group or whether they are slightly more important (although it seems like Planck and Einstein had the most important contributions otherwise?)
