Comment on Talk like a physicist – is the glass half full or half empty? by Leo

Clearly the glass is full to the brim. Half with water and half with air.

“You’re not being lazy, you are in your ground state.” – love it!

So turning on the lamp becomes turning on the photon emitter :)

The cartoon with the glass as superposition is great.

@Matt and @Siegfried Sheldrake

Putting arrows backwards in time is actually a notation to show that these are antiparticles since particles and antiparticles are made explicit here (by using + and -).no arrows are required at all besides the actual time arrow (under the sharps :D ). If arrows are used this is the right way. An arrow backwards in time labeled e+ is actually an electron so that would not be right.

Comment on An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar… by Michael

I think the joke is that the bar is clearly a black hole.

Comment on Tuesday Physics Tattoos: CERN bubble chamber tracks tattoos: by Alice

Yeah pretty much what Carl said. At cern they are accelerating particles to extremely high energies and speeds so they can crash them together and see what they’re made up of. The trouble with high energies is that mass and energy are interchangable so a high energy particle will be very heavy and dense, potentially creating a mini black hole. That’s the impression I got from my A level physics teacher anyway :S

Not a big fan of graffiti on ones skin but if I were ever inclined to get a tat, this would definitely be the theme.

e=mc^2 when “seeing the light” is not sufficient, “be the light!”

Comment on Math Tattoo: 6×9=42 – I am sure there is a deep meaning to this by wildfire

wildfire — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 17:55:21 +0000

ok so basically wat its trying to say is that since 42 is the answer to everything and that the tiles asked “WHAT DO YOU GET IF YOU MULTIPLY SIX BY NINE?” so obviously the answer would be 42 if its the answer to everything

i cant believe that u ppl didnt get it and i did even tho im just in middle school lol xD

If the glass and its water were in a forest and nobody was watching, what would it be?

Comment on Tuesday Physics Tattoos: Integrated Love by ned

ned — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 17:55:04 +0000

I think that actually it means the integral of x between infinity and 0 with respect to x is less than love. Taking it further, this is (x^2)/2 between infinity and 0 < love

which is, infinity is less than love.

For all, is an upside down A. It should be: x < love. For all x. That just about covers you.
