My favorite memes in this community are the ones about tiny specialties I'll never understand.

Humour is universal. โค๏ธ
wait, can visible light waves at thousands times larger than atoms interact with subatomic particles?
Of course but with a huge wavelength, their frequency is very small. Small frequency means small energy so the effect of visible light is shadowed by other subatomic processes
Chromodynamics uses colour to represent the three charges of the strong field, like + and - for the one charge of the electromagnetic field. It rarely interacts with actually visible light.
Thanks you.
As a math major I'm concerned about those curly bois near mu/alpha in the background
The Feynman diagrams? I think those just represent terms in a statistical integral. It's a nice way of describing an otherwise horrendously arcane function.
But I like albelian groups, that's where I keep all my numbers.
Seeing shi like this makes me wish i'd majored in physics lol
I just reference Feynman a lot. PBS Spacetime. That sort of thing. Stolen physics valor.
Everything is physics. so you did! Congrats
but physics is actually applied maths
Applied maths is just one of many ways to talk about physics
to be fair I did use physics a lot in clown school
