Isn't all matter pretty much condensed?
Do you view your future work prospects with trepidation or hope?
Wht do you do with that degree--and it's from where?
Kind of, it's basically another way for saying solid materials. A lot of condensed matter overlaps with material science engineering.
There's a theory I heard before that we live in a level 2 sun system, where our sun has exploded before, causing elements to be more stable. There is a belief there are level 3 suns in the universe where higher elements in the period table are more stable compared to the ones we have here on earth. What is your opinion on this?
is it possible to manufacture a metal which can be squished, but then eventually returns to its old form? In other words: are Alien Alloys physically possible?
It seems overly broad, what are the principle areas in that field?
whats the strangest phenomena you've observed with matter?
We are living in a black hole residing in another universe, and black holes in our universe contain other universes. How plausible?
I look on with hope. I'd love to do government research in quantum computation in the future. The applications of CM physics are useful in many aspects of processing and protecting information; quantum cryptography is hopefully where I end up.
You can go into academia, working as a lecturer or research professor. I would like to go into industry eventually. I go to a top 20 school, for what my research is focused on.
From what I remember about astrophysics, stars that use heavier elements for fuel are typically just older. I believe that usually iron is the last thing that can be used before a star dies, depending on its mass. You can find the "table of nuclides" which maps out the stability of different elements.
>>How does condensed Milk even work OP ?
Do you understand better now?
Gotcha. Always liked physics, but never had the head for advanced math.
How long did you have to study to get a doctorate?
Any good recipes for condensed milk?
This is actually a really cool question I haven't really considered. I'm not an expert on properties regarding malleability, BUT in principle you'd just have to construct the material such that the lowest energy configuration is whatever it was shaped before. I know that microscopically the lattice structure of a material is usually* defined by the lowest energy configuration.
It is very broad. My research is centered around electronic and optical properties of different combinations of transition metals and their use in quantum information processing. I'd say that crystal physics (like the slowing down of light that was done recently), superconductor physics, cutting edge medical physics (like scintillators and other imaging devices) are what I've seen as being the most active fields close to my discipline.
OP. what are you thoughts on the nature of the absolute base of everything. Consider that it doesn't matter how far down physic's goes into the quantum at some time (or outside of time) there is a reality where there was nothing then something .. what that was ? geometry ? a point ? I blows my mind everytime I take LSD and I ponder such questions.
Is your IQ higher than a niggers?
Are you getting your PhD?
Should warriors or rogues get glaives first?
The weirdest thing that comes to mind is the recent thing that was done with "freezing" light. This is kind of pop-sci though. Less talked about phenomena, like different kinds of quasiparticles in materials are weird to me, even though they are fundamental. Plasmon resonance which is basically when light interacts with the vibrational modes in a material is pretty weird.
I actually have no idea hahahaha
I DEFINITELY realized how much I don't know since I've started my literature search. I understand the fundamentals of course but there are many things that I have a hard time understanding. Usually it's linked to the applications of some advanced mathematical concepts.
I feel this. I wasn't inherently good at math but I loved getting into the weeds with it and spent a lot of time studying to try and keep up. I haven't gotten it yet, I'm still putting together my dissertation. Usually physics PhD's take about 5 years depending on how you go about progressing. I'm aiming to get mine done in less since I started my research during my first year.
Can you pronounce Bogolioubov without hesitsting?
Hesitating*
