A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
While I don't necessarily understand the finer points of the meme, I couldn't help but read the "Poynting vector" equation as "SEX B OVER MU" and I couldn't figure out why sex is happening over a cow...
I am a little stoned rn, so that may have something to do with that. Yes, I am aware it's pronounced "Mew"
I'm pretty sure it's pronounced mü, not mew
Which is pronounced...? English doesn't have that character. Our closest analogue would be "mew."
no, the closest equivalent is "me"
Only in modern Greek. In physics- at least in english- it's pronounced "mew."
huh? ü isn't a greek letter either, the only languages i've seen use it are german and i think turkish, and it's basically just "y"
"Ü" DEFINITELY is not pronounced "ee" so "Mü" is not pronounced "Mee." It's pronounced "Mew."
oh right i mean Y in german, not in english
"ee" is the closest equivalent to it in english
also nice, keep downvoting my messages just because you think i'm dumb, very sensible
While I don’t necessarily understand the finer points of the meme
None of those things are named after the properties the meme points out.
Waow, it's almost like you're taking a stoned comment written in 10 seconds way too seriously.
Which vector isn't pointing tho?
The null vector?
Touché
Poynting vector points towards the direction energy is going, if I recall correctly.
I had ideas for math themed places:
My alma mater had a café named Foo Bar in a computer science building
Petition to rename the common words: boyling water, poynting towards things, and heavi weights.
