/sci/ - Science & Math

I still don’t really understand what the people working on quantum whatnots are trying to achieve.

The Standard Model has been a pretty big deal y'know.

>>14840123
They are misguided thinking there's an elegant solution. Eventually they'll have to replace it with something else. That will be the next breakthrough.

>>14840075
Maki is way too good for this anime.

>>14840075
How many years was it between Newton and Einstein? About that many.

>>14840075
Aside from nukes and space shit, what has Einsteinian physics really given us? I'm not trolling here, I just want some examples.

>>14840539
All the space probes to the outer solar system, for one. The math for those guys is all done using something called the Parameterized Post-Newtonian Formalism, which is basically a very simplified version of general relativity. PPN equations you can actually solve to predict the motion of a spacecraft through the solar system around the gravitational fields of all the planets.

Also we wouldn't have GPS without using special and general relativity to make orbiting clocks accurate enough to surface clocks.

>>14840075
we hit the wall

>>14840075
>hurr durr I don't understand how science works
Einstein's theory works so well that we simply don't need a 'better' theory with current technology.

>>14840562
>Also we wouldn't have GPS without using special and general relativity to make orbiting clocks accurate enough to surface clocks.
This isn't really true. It's more of an urban legend than a reality.

>>14840656
> GPS accounts for relativity by electronically adjusting the rates of the satellite clocks, and by building mathematical corrections into the computer chips which solve for the user's location. Without the proper application of relativity, GPS would fail in its navigational functions within about 2 minutes.

i integrated physics, should be online in a few

>>14840075
Physics is way ahead of the other fields, wait for updates in the other stuff before physics gets anything big.

100 years ago Einstein discovered relativity, 100 years ago Freud started projecting such stupid ideas about the brain into the public that in our efforts to prove him wrong we realized that we can actually use that whole science thing for understanding brain stuff.

>>14840562
Sooooo.... just sci-fi LARPs basically?

I don't think anything in your post is true.
I'm not necessarily calling you a liar, I just don't think you're scientifically accurate.

>>14840682
They lie about that stuff.

>>14840711
>in our efforts to prove him wrong we realized that we can actually use that whole science thing for understanding brain stuff.
More like ridiculous projections started projecting their nonsense onto everything else.
So yeah, we're really not making the scientific progress that would be expected compared to the unfathomable technological accomplishments.

>>14840724
Psychology is still a joke but neuroscience has some promise, they do actually work with mostly empirical data.

Thanks for beta testing boomers

>>14840075
>what is QM/QFTtxjp0
good job, i fell for your shitty bait thread

>>14840075
me on the right

>>14840075
Oh I’m sure we just need to send a few trillion more dollars in to space and we’ll finally learn something useful!

>>14840711
>100 years ago Einstein discovered relativity,

>>14840830
We haven't spent a trillion dollars on space in the entire history of the world.

>>14840075
>>last breakthrough in Physics was more than 100 years ago with Einstein's invention of relativity
"invention" is a good way to put it.

>>14840869
Are you... implying something?

>>14840842
Adjusted for inflation yes we have. The budget during the space race was almost 10x what it is now, adjusted for inflation.

>>14840960
The yearly budget I mean

>>14840962
If you sun up all the yearly budgets I mean. Yearly budget during space race was 10x nasa yearly budget now.

>>14840957
It's made up.

>>14840539
Existing had no say in nukes, the united states, and Germany were well on their way to nukes before Einsteins theory.

>>14840539
The internet, almost every single notable computer-based technology. You can't have the internet without satellites, which all explicitly use Einstein's GR model of time dilation due to the Earth's gravitational pull.

>>14840075
Dont worry flat earthers are hard at work on it

>>14840539
Nothing. Technology is not connected to physics because technique is independent of the theory used to explain it.

Steam engines existed much before Carnot wrote about them for example.

>>14841142
so science is nothing but pimping bad ideas ... the actual work is done by engineers

>>14840539
GPS

>>14840957
Like what?

>>14840682
>>14840656
From what i read its just that GPS satellite clocks have a component to their drift that's caused by relativistic effects (their speed). So left alone they would drift more than if you keep the same clock at earth.

>>14841098
>You can't have the internet without satellites
Nah, internet works through under sea cables just fine. You could solar flare away all the satellites and the internet would still work

>>14840114
well you're an engineer that's to be expected.

>>14840114
Me neither but from what I hear, their predictions have been rock solid thus far so whatever theyre trying to achieve they're doing a damn good job. Unlike cosmolgists

>>14840075
WHEN PEOPLE REALIZE THAT ALL THE THINGS THEY BELIEVE IN ARE JUST MADE UP INVENTIONS.

ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS BUT NOT NECESSARILY THE TRUTH
