@Prodigal "you're nobody til somebody kills you..."

the way he leans back from the mic there, he and everyone else knows what's up

Could someone tell me if L^2 and S^2 (in terms of angular momentum and intrinsic spin, SO(3) and SU(2)) are (or are not) vector fields and why (or why not?)

perhaps this is an example of a bad question but it's real bothering me

#quantum #physics

or maybe not...

@11112011 @apropos @jeffcliff bro we're right here not need to shout

@jeffcliff @11112011 @apropos you would live in NWA

just realised spin is a field

@CMike @Lupi yeah I was gonna say, Rogan's not thick and I'll bet his lawyer is sharkie as all hell

I'd be surprised if there wasn't a "Fuck You" clause somewhere in his contract

@Cleisthenes @jcbrand I need to read more Shakespeare

@jcbrand @Cleisthenes that being said, when something restates the essentials simply and efficiently it's an absolute joy, even if you know them

these books are few and far between

@jcbrand @Cleisthenes one of the downsides of this is in maths/physics textbooks - it can be difficult to find sources that explain the rules that aren't being stated, and once you get these rules you join the club of people who can't be bothered with rereading the rules you take for granted
