What's wrong with physics? Why is it seen as degenerate on this board?

Well, we already have /x/. This is like when people want to talk about random literature that is just barely popsci when they have fucking /lit/ or when philosofags get their philosodick all philosohard over here when they have /his/ and /b/.

Seriously, go to /x/, the physics board, to talk about all the physics you want.

I think you're misunderstanding me. Hell, my degree is in physics.

All I mean is that you can have questions like "wow what is dark matter" or "huh, can we travel to distant stars?" and they're compelling enough for people to latch on to, then because we usually describe things metaphorically people can fool themselves into thinking the topic is less specialized than it is.

See the success of "science" shows and the kind of science they usually focus on. They're pretty much all physics and biology and the biology shows are nearly always just surveys of various animal or biosphere facts.

The topics aren't superficial within the field, its the way the public looks at them that's superficial.

I think the society prestige thing goes without saying. The stereotypical brilliant science works in physics.

Literally every other field gets it way harder on /sci/
>engineers are flaming homosexuals

The new meme is

/sci/ is so densely packed with memes you would hardly notice them if you didn't actually have an education in science or math.

Because Lidl, the supermarket, actually uses physics in their store (like gravity), which leads to them having lower prices because of the simple reason that they can stack boxes on eachother. If they can stack boxes on each others they can create what they call aisles. This leads to even more comfort in the customers which leads to them buying more. So physics is just making the filthy capitalist more money.

Chemist undergrad here. You are pretty much restricting the field to orga chem which is a meme and until you get to the point of learning how to come up with mechanisms and reactions to be named after you, it's pretty much rationalisation after the fact outside of basic mechanisms.
As far as I am aware of, protein folding is still a mystery. The undergraduate explanation of it is "forces impossible to track make things just fold right and eliminate a lot of ostensible randomness" (which is very superficial because tbqh I learned jack shit about it so far).

You forgot to mention cristallography which is the study of fictional lattices and how to put a series of dots or molecules into that lattice. I am not sure if it's just my university but it has turned out to be mostly mental masturbation. Theoretical physics suffers from the same issue. Neither of these 3 fields is useless and can be reduced to what popsci / this board makes out of it, but - and that might surprise you - the same applies to physics.

You are presenting a very superficial understanding of those things for the sake of making your point, I get that, but it should be clear to any person in high school that the scientific background behind those simplifications cannot be condensed in a 15 minute (wikipedia) article or post while still being simple enough for a laymen to be understandable. I can also go MUH ORBITELLS, ELICTRUNS CAN TRAVEL TO ANDROMEDA, PLEASE LET ME TEACH.

Still made me kek.

Lol bro, I'm a former D-1 rugby player, have abs at 6'1" 240 lbs, worked as a bouncer, Did army ROTC in college turning it down for 70k finance job, and I bench somewhere around 420 lbs. I grew up on base and boxed since I was 8. I've got the quickest hands I've ever seen in person from a non professional fighter, especially at my weight. If my gf wants to talk chit I'll let her do it to a point before pulling her away. If some guy gets in her face? I'm either gonna do the responsible thing and get the bouncer or pick him up and slam his phucking neck into the concrete.

What do you weigh… 190 lbs? Bench maybe 275 lbs? Lol. You have no idea what it's like walking around as big and as strong as someone like me. First of all, 95% of men walk in fear of you, and 95% of the other 5% of men are just retarded.

Literally the last 3 altercations I've been in with other males ended with me giving them one back hand slap and knocking them to the ground (I'm terrified of hitting most men and either killing them or putting them into a coma)
Any type of altercation, verbal etc. whether it involves girls I know or guys I know just mildly amuse me as I know I can step in and regulate the situation in a split second if things get serious.

Take your tiny, wanna be, hard pretend phaggot ass elsewhere pussy.

I fantasize about putting my cock in your mouth. It would be so hot if you slowly sucked my dick while I pet your head. I would finger your ass while you moan with my cock in your mouth. I would then blow a huge load in your mouth and make out with you while the load is still in your mouth. We would then swap the cum in and out of each other's mouths while we stroke each other's cocks. I'm getting so hard thinking about it and I'm getting even harder knowing how bad you want it since you keep shitposting.

mostly because the CTMU answers virtually everything and does so without extensive use of physics, making it largely obsolete

why spend 20 years wasting your time when lord langan has all the answers already?

john von neumann learned this early and thats why he stayed mostly away from theoretical physics even though he was the smartest man to ever live.
