🎓✨David Tong, the self-proclaimed wizard of theoretical physics, magically transforms his lecture notes into overpriced smell-good books. Why buy? Apparently, it's because "Schwarzschild" is spelled correctly now. 📚💸

1/2 The intersection of #TheoreticalPhysics, #QuantumComputation and #InformationComplexity represents the leading edge of Science and technology in many areas.Advanced students & researchers looking at new questions can avail themselves of videos like this w/ #DanielHarlow and #BrianGreene via WorldScienceFestival:

Are Space and Time Created by Quantum Error Correction ?

"Open Call for Collaboration – Unified Energy Equation"

As the custodian of #TheoreticalPhysics on the fediverse, I invite collaboration on an article for a Unified Energy Equation, grounded in The Unified Theory of Energy. Starting with Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, it aims to redefine Energy across Scales.

Whether you’re curious or critical, your input is welcome. If no one responds, I’ll keep refining it solo.

We may have focused on the “wrong” equation. Instead of fixating on the velocity of light, let’s be more discrete:

E = hν

I see this as a “Unified Energy Equation” if:

E is any Particle’s total Energy

h is Planck’s constant and blackbody radiation which is Gravitation and Potential Energy

ν is extended by distance r and is Radiation. Therefore,

E = G*R

This can also be reached from Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation:

F = E = G(m_1*m_2/r^2) ==> G*R

(Re) Introducing myself after moving from emacs.ch: I am an academic interested in #math and #theoreticalphysics

I am at this instance because I contribute to some #Emacs projects (details to come in a follow up) and I am posting this using mastodon.el the Emacs client for fediverse.

Other than that I am interested in #fiction and #urdu #poetry. I am here to mostly read rather than write and it has shame that there is not much Urdu content here (I hope I am just missing some niche).

Continued thread

As he explained it, a #BlackHole has a mass, an electrical charge, & an angular momentum (meaning it can spin). “And that’s pretty much it,” he said. “Their behavior is extreme, but the apparatus is something we think we understand.” Another “simple” way to think of a black hole is as an extraordinary amt of mass in a relatively small space. It exerts a gravitational pull so strong that not even light can escape it.

Continued thread

To me, a #SupermassiveBlackHole sounds sublime; to a #scientist, it can also be a test of wild hypotheses. “#Astrophysics is an exercise in incredible experiments not runnable on Earth,” Avery Broderick, a theoretical physicist at uWaterloo & at the Perimeter Inst, told me. “And #BlackHoles are an ideal laboratory.”

Broderick says that he studies black holes because they are very simple, theoretically & mathematically.
