>Is it possible to get through this cover to cover between now and September?
not if you're here instead of reading

I'd study some more basic "Modern Physics" (i.e. something like the modern physics section of http://a.co/j3A1AhM or even http://a.co/aC3PCcl) before tackling Shankar so you have a solid base to build on conceptually. You'll get more out of it that way. Also, for your first time with QM you'd probably be better off with Griffiths. Shakar is more rigorous, but Griffiths is written to be introductory and is superior for that purpose, in my opinion.

first you must become a master of chaos itself

>>8944171
Don't. If you think "chaos theory" is its own field then you don't know what you're talking about and you're just following a popsci meme.

First listen to Jordan B. Peterson and conquer the chaos within yourself. Start by cleaning your room

light is an oscillation of the electromagnetic field.

imagine stretching a spring out. this is represents an electromagnetic field. imagine flicking that spring. the vibration caused to the spring is light, and the frequency at which it is bouncing around is the light frequency. In this example this is non polarized light.

Polarization, despite seemingly being a simple physical phenomenon of filtering light waves, still requires a solid understanding of electromagnetics and trigonometry to understand.

>>8944026
so unpolarized light moves in a straight line, but oscillates in its magnetism? or is it that light has a density and zigzags in a plane?

funny, op. methadone is a useful tool for addicts but junkies gonna junk. most methadone overdoses are in conjunction with benzos, and that shit has a crazy long halflife... the wait for a lot of those programs can be insane, too.

the solution is actually medical grade heroin. most overdoses are from inconsistency. it's been shown time and time again addicts don't often overdose if they actually know how much of the drug they need to get well.

>we can end the opiate epidemic by forcing opiate addicts to take another opiate
That really made me think, OP

>>8943340
this
and
>crazy long halflife
make for a literal worst case scenario ever

Heroin withdraw is really bad, but the intense part is only a week or so, even with a heavy habit. Methadone withdraw can last MONTHS.
Not PAWS, the literal opiate withdraw itself, can and often does last M O N T H S with methadone.

Not to mention to get the methadone, you have to go to the clinic where you're surrounded by people who are getting methadone just to have something hold them over when they are dry, so they dont get too sick to function.

People rarely quit opiates with substitute opiates, and end up just taking them till they relapse or can afford better opiates.

IMO the best way to quit opiates is by taper, theres medical literature on this even. IIRC you take 20% of your previous dose and this holds off many of the worst symptoms.

they have solved balding. there are pills that do this, but it isn't without side effects. doesn't mean you will suffer them necessarily, but there will be more options in time.

though who gives a shit? if you start balding just shave it all off as opposed to clinging to what once was

There's some bookshelves where people just put books they don't want anymore. I've seen some of the other books on those shelves for years, so I figure this one being lumped there was also no longer wanted and took it.

>>8942050
It's an okay book. I think it's over rated tho.

>>8941832
major in math so you can have that same attitude but you'll actually be justified

>>8941832
>Are the mayority of engineers like that
yes

>>8941837

But i dont want to be like that or be around people like that

The fact that there are smarter people than you in the world is not a tragedy.

Don't feel bad. The greats are like 1 in 300 million. It's like winning the lottery except what you get it a lifetime of dedication and hard-work to see the fruits of your effort finally flower; in exchange you get like a small paragraph in the average history books; or a few books and documentaries about you when you're dead. On the plus side you get to die knowing you helped make humanity and the human race better in some way.

Most of us just get to enjoy life, make our contributions, and die in nameless obscurity however.

Stop being so full of yourself, contribute to your field for humans, and then be happy.

prove you what?
the possibility of the existence of multiverse does in no way pertain to the possibility of travel between them

>>8940689
Consider that we may be in one universe where other travelers can't cross into ours?

"There is a God and he's just in our universe, there are no other gods and universes" is just as valid as your points. Nothing proves/disproves this, just like a story a kid can come up with but really believes that is either true/somewhat/not at all true. Therefore it's just LARP fantasy
