"The presence of an observer in an experiment alters the outcome of the experiment itself."

Born Werner Karl Heisenberg 5 December 1901 Würzburg, Kingdom of Bavaria, German Empire
Died 1 February 1976 (aged 74) Munich, Bavaria, West Germany
He formulated the Uncertainty Principle: One of Heisenberg's most significant contributions to physics is the formulation of the Uncertainty Principle in 1927. This principle states that it is impossible to simultaneously measure certain pairs of physical properties, such as a particle's position and momentum, with arbitrary precision. This had profound implications for the understanding of quantum mechanics.
Nobel Prize in Physics: Heisenberg was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1932 for his creation of quantum mechanics, specifically the development of matrix mechanics. He shared the prize with Max Born and Pascual Jordan for this groundbreaking work.
Key Figure in Quantum Mechanics: Heisenberg was a central figure in the development of quantum mechanics during the early 20th century. Alongside other pioneers such as Niels Bohr, Erwin Schrödinger, and Max Planck, he played a crucial role in establishing the theoretical framework of this branch of physics.
German Physicist during World War II: Heisenberg remained in Germany during World War II and worked on nuclear research for the Nazi regime. However, there is much debate and controversy surrounding his involvement in the German nuclear program. Some argue that he deliberately sabotaged the project, while others believe he genuinely aimed to develop a nuclear weapon for Germany.
Post-War Influence: After the war, Heisenberg played a key role in rebuilding the scientific community in Germany. He helped establish the Max Planck Institute for Physics in Göttingen and later became the director of the Max Planck Institute for Physics in Munich. He continued to make significant contributions to theoretical physics until his death in 1976.

Quantum mechanics is based on an equation that Erwin Schrödinger discovered in 1926.⁶
6. Quantum mechanics can also be based on an equivalent equation presented in a different form (known as matrix mechanics) by Werner Heisenberg in 1925. For the mathematically inclined reader, Schrödinger's equation is: HΨ(x,t) = iℏ(dΨ(x,t)/dt), where H stands for the Hamiltonian, Ψ stands for the wavefunction, and ℏ is Planck's constant.

Hey robot lovers. gear grinders. circuit clingers. I have a few questions for something I'm writing!!
Is there a moral code for what types of machinery y'all enjoy? How much homoerotic subtext is too much when it comes to robots? Are there any widely hated tropes, or very normalized tropes I should avoid or put a spin on? I wanna do my research because I feel like y'all are gonna end up as the accidental target audience. Ahh!!! Are creation and creator pairings seen as odd? I don't want it to come across as a parental relationship and make it feel Odd in that way. I certainly want it to be odd and uncomfortable and make the viewers think, but not in that way. For context, this is an active ARG that I'm creating. There's two characters so far, Creator and MECHA, who is a virtual companion that learns and grows as it is communicated with by different "users", or viewers.

I'm not allowed to make fun of Neo but it's objectively hilarious when he justifies his actions by going "fuck it this is literally just the matrix"

Okay so Widget is kind of a dumb doodad to use in court since Athena can't bluff or have any sort of poker face when it announces her thoughts to everyone. Clearly a disadvantage. But Apollo using his bracelet to see criminals' nervous tics and then immediately announcing it to them is such an unforced error.

Min vs SP24
I'm excited about my classes this semester, so why not talk about them here. (I'm procrastinating an email I have to reply to and a bunch of job stuff I need to set up)
Intermediate Quantum Mechanics
I didn’t do so hot on my first quantum class so I’m glad for the do over. I’m appreciating the heavy emphasis on mathematical formalism this time
Particle Physics
Ooooooh I’m most excited about this one. It’s supposed to be an undergraduate level introduction to the topic. I hope it will build some intuition around the QFT I’ve been studying on my own. 
Matrix Groups
I fell in LOVE with algebra last semester and I’m really curious about Lie algebras so I hope this class will FINALLY tell me more about Noether’s theorem. 
Circuits
I’m only taking this class because I have to. 
Data Analysis and Research Techniques in Astronomy
I forgot I was on the waitlist for this one lmao. I’ll check it out but I’ll probably drop it anyway to focus on research.
and then research + TAing as usual. Hopefully, I get to TA the Lagrangian mechanics class because it's my favourite physics class here so far.
Here's to building better study habits this semester!

It was last week now, but finally getting around to posting about it…
Joined a pug mono because honk honk 🤡, it was supposed to be a 16man, but there were only 14 (?) people. Some concern over group composition (1 tank, 2 heals, rest dps, which was honestly fine, but the tank was inexperienced and I think at least one healer was Nervous) and the fact that several had never done it before, but group lead offered a discord to discuss mechanics. One dps confidently said in ops chat that as long as healers were competent, we’d be fine (then refused to join the discord).
Joined the discord, tank asked if anyone knew the mechanics. Crickets.
So I gave a run-down. While I was doing this, the dps I came to think of as Mr Big Dick asked in ops chat if we were doing this or not. Group lead reiterated that there was a discord for discussing mechanics. Mr Big Dick said it was just SM and “the easiest boss in the game” and that we should just go. Mr Big Dick threw his sabers.
Surprising no one, we wiped. The tank wasn’t able to hold threat (mono was on me pretty much any time he wasn’t Shouting at someone - so it was hilarious that Mr Big Dick was complaining about wah did we even have a tank, when he wasn’t even the one pulling threat), no one was doing colors, everyone was standing in stupid.
Several people left, but we still ended up with 8 who were willing to stick around and make it work. We considered leaving it in 16man (doable, I’ve recently undermanned 16man mono with several folks from here, and it was a blast!), but ultimately decided to swap it down to 8man difficulty. I also swapped to heals so that we’d have two healers after losing one.
Thankfully, everyone who stayed also had joined the discord and was patient enough to listen to the mechanics (and, yaknow, actually do them), and we ended up having a pretty clean run after that. Several folks got their very first mono clear.

Huh.
Since the last reblogged art mentioned it in proximity to ol' Theener... she WOULD get a kick out of Super Princess Peach, wouldn't she?

this is the second time my mom has asked me where my car is for the same reason! starting to think that road has it out for Luminas. i have also had to park on the side of that road twice for car problems...

First time on VR chat and after about two hours of playing Cards Against Humanity, I befriended two guys; one of them had the character design of Morpheus from The Matrix and we all hung out for the next few hours. He started showing us this show he watches about time travel and shit. Then took us to a bar to explain the entire plot, everything we, as a society, know about time travel, his own speculations, the grandfather paradox, quantum mechanics...needless to say, I love this man and I would die for him

#8 ‘Archon’ (01.08.05) | “This glyph was imprinted upon my mind after experiencing (i.e. directly living) the story of 'Gradient’, the 99th Quantumyth tale I immersed into when I once stole into the Chamber of Vynth on January 1, 2000. I stood before the Resonant Mythsource, The Vyxian Orrery, compiled by the Resonant Scholar Chinza, and upon beholding the tale known also simply as 'The Program’, I was transported to a strange, overgrown digital landscape…”
