Its an incorrect rendition of the idea that the oberver changes the experiment *by* observing. It's a quantum mechanics thing, don't worry.

#13 Other atoms need something to make their electron situation perfect. Noble gases are already perfect, they dont bond.
ILikeSmellingMyOwnFarts
some of them can, they don't want to but can make some stable molecules, they are mostly inert yes as they have perfect number of valence e-

So I might be some sort of Noble gas?

I also am intelligent, and find these memes humorous ?

Dammit, I didn't notice in the trailer how absolute trash the CGI is on Dr. Strange's hands and now I can't unsee that still.

ButtholeButts
You know what? I'm just gonna say it. The Coulomb and Farad are both terrible units of measurement.
bripi
As a physics teacher, 100% agree. They are stupidly large units that don't correspond to reality. We can do better.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
The original definition wasn't that bad in theory: it relied on the three fundamental units. Apparently ħ and c are easier to realize.
ButtholeButts
Still, they picked an absurdly large value by today's standards. A farad is such an enormous chunk of energy.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
Also it's not a unit of energy: 1 farad and 1 volt gets you half a joule. A match puts out 2000 times that.
ButtholeButts
Not many devices use 1 volt. Most of the time the voltage is high while we have to talk about capacitance in micro/pico farads.
ButtholeButts
A person gets carpal tunnel typing all those zeros after the decimal point.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
The farad wasn't picked - it's the natural spawn of two perfectly reasonable units. And it's not too hard to put 1 F together in a box.
ButtholeButts
It's just rarely ever used at that size, unless you wanna make a railgun. It would be smaller if the coulomb (arbitrary value) was smaller.
ButtholeButts
The amount of energy required to get 0.2 newtons of force at 1meter? Arbitrary as hell. Pointlessly arbitrary. It bloats all the math.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
The coulomb isn't arbitrary - it's 1 ampere built up over 1 second. Your phone's battery pushes at least 12,000 of those per cycle.

#16 That's not how the double split experiment works.
ManguPixel
Good enough to understand it means the wave function collapses under observation.
sinskittles
Right? It's like, trying to combine the double split with wave interference patterns.
DavidBrooker
The double-slit experiment does show wave-like interference patterns, does it not?
neomagus00
There's a misconception that "observing" the experiment is the important part. Even science writers sometimes imply the *human* matters.
magicrhombus
Serious physicists have advocated that interpretation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann%E2%80%93Wigner_interpretation
nichfra
It's just that "observing" in a double slit experiment doesn't mean "looking at it".
neomagus00
Yeah, exactly. I prefer "measure" or "interact", but those need a little more explanation, and people lost interest quickly :-)
mhollow
How does it work? Asking for a friend
BaklavaWearingBalaclavaWhilePlayingBalalaikaOnBlackLava
For particles to be "observed" they need to have contact with other particles. So they had a sensor spewing particles and those particles
BaklavaWearingBalaclavaWhilePlayingBalalaikaOnBlackLava
stopped the wavelike behaviour, and "collapsed" the wave form into particle like behaviour. The sensor was the "observer", not human eyes
DavidBrooker
Not necessarily contact, just interaction. The double-slit interference pattern still appears with, say, electrons instead of photons, 1/2
DavidBrooker
and you can detect the electric field as they pass, although obviously not without interacting with that field. 2/2
UghItsThatGuy
Forward this link to your friend: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-slit_experiment
icyanddicey
Thanks for the link but I found a better one https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young%27s_double-slit_experiment
DavidBrooker
The double-slit experiment demonstrates wave-particle duality. In the classical experiment, shown in high school classrooms today, light 1/n
DavidBrooker
from a laser forms an interference pattern after passing through the slits, in similar way that a fluid wave might. In principle, by 2/n
DavidBrooker
measuring which particle passes through which slit, you can suppress the wave-like behavior and thus the interference pattern. The 3/n
Boksha
Indeed. Note that this describes specifically the single particle dual slit experiment. The classical dual slit experiment, with a source 1/
DavidBrooker
'error' is in suggesting that this is the 'default' state when watching the experiment. In reality, this is a highly technical process 4/n

#4 The third and fourth derivatives of coffee bean are unpleasant, though.
PowerPedant
Hm... – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopi_luwak
spacestationnumberfive
And the anti-derivative is the coffee plant itself.
nbrown613
What about civit coffee?
UghItsThatGuy
No derivatives there - it's an idempotent closure operator. That's algebra.

I actually, literally, laughed out loud

You get a smelly Uranium Rhodium Iodine Neon compound that's liquid at STP.
UghItsThatGuy
Well, what happens after you drink it?
InconspicuousUnicorn
What about the 4th derivative?
superbob201
Becomes more coffee beans, coffee is sinusoidal
BlackCatCasper
The change over time is steep.
scmrph
Am I the only one who thinks #4 is backwards? Like coffee is the complex function and the beans are its derivatives in a math sense
nighthawk23
I agree with you, we derive coffee from its fundamental components not the other way around
UghItsThatGuy
Just you. In order to get a derivative you have to do something (derivation) to an equation, so processing results in the derivative.
scmrph
Example: F(x) = X^3 + C, f'(x) = 3x^2 you ignore the C because it doesnt vary wrt X, for coffee the C could be milk, water etc...
scmrph
Kind of, in theory finding the derivation isnt a transformation of an equation, you are looking for its rate of change. This exists even
scmrph
if you dont calculate it (and in some cases its impossible to calculate) and can be thought of as the 'driving force' behind the equation
