I am an incoming MSc Physics student at the University of Hamburg and I'm looking for ways to support my living expenses.

The question is who came up with the idea of looking at the special momenta for which the one-helicity-flip amplitude is nonzero. This is 90% of the paper's value. Having then a simple formula for the answer is cool but the paper would have been interesting with or without it.

Watching Queen's Gambit rn and what a surprise to find Erik Satie's Gymnopédies being used in such good taste in the show on multiple occasions

So im working on my UG thesis (studying beyond-vacuum black hole solutions) and i was in the middle of a computation today. It's a rather straightforward calculation usually done to study curvature singularities for a spacetime (bh) metric using Kretschmann scalar. Suddenly, i...

of black hole singularity is not central to my thesis work, it feels good to know that i briefly touched up on the naive research vision that i had for my future self.

@vrundasays_ Always hated math until i attended my first calc lecture at uni by the🐐 Prof Habib, who broke our entire notion of math by asking us basic questions like what is a number & prove that 1 is positive (elementary RA)
Considered switching to math by the end of that course :)

@WKCosmo Congratulations Professor! Looking forward to it

@RBehiel Call me crazy but i genuinely believe that we need specialised therapists for physicists

everyday is a reminder of how little i know about physics

Attended a workshop on cosmology & hep at the beautiful University of Phayao campus last week

Just a random fact that blew my mind when I read it for the first time.
It can be argued that "Nothing" is just infinitely negatively curved spacetime
Reference: "On Nothing" (Brown and Dahlen 2011)
Also see Witten's 1982 paper (Instability of Kaluza Klein vacuum) for the background

@Hassaan_PHY Incredible how far ai has come since this book came out in 2020. It is still a good introduction to understanding the essence of the alignment problem though!

[Parmest Roy @RoyParmest]

@Cosmalano @star_stufff I actually agree with this. Just that in my case I like to have a grip over the mathematics before getting into the subject
