Hello, my physics professor glosses over a lot of problems. She teaches theorem completely, but never shows examples, leaving me to use my small IQ to figure things out.

How well do physics understand the implications and intricacies of General and Special Relativity?

Recently I have come to a fuller understanding of relativity and been kinda tossing and combing GR and SR in my head(for about a year). And I keep coming into these really interesting simple solutions to shit like inflationary theory, Dark matter, Gravitational potential, galaxy and galaxy cluster formation, some workings of Dark energy and how singularity evaporate.

Now I would normally dismiss it as already being thought of, just found not working, seeing how oblivious some of it seems. But everything just clicks into place with a single small extension to Relativity. And after some Googling I dont find shit on it neither.

So I'm really getting curious about how well modern physics understand relativity. Is it all just math to them? Are SR and GR just two different formulas they use?

I'm aware that there is no theory with out math, but I'm not a physicist.

Oblivious. That is the word you should concentrate on.

If you are truly interested in the topic, learn the math and put in the work instead of watching documentaries on youtube and then thinking you can "solve" physics in your head.

I think you should read Wald or MTW and find out.

Should plastic surgery be outlawed?

It can be used to mask poor genes, meaning that people are tricked into reproducing with them. This means that rather than bad genes being filtered out as nature intended, they are perpetuated, and the other partners good genetics watered down.

It's literally holding back human progress.

Thoughts?

I agree totally. Makeup & perfume/cologne should be banned for the same reason.

The only thing I think people should use either is when covering up/repairing disfigurement caused by non-stupid accidents. Like for after getting injured when a meteor lands on your house, but not for when you crash into a tree with your car. The former shows you just need to add another layer of watchfulness, to your life, while the latter shows that you are a general idiot.

Anyone who hides under makeup, perfume/cologne, or plastic surgery has a mental/social disease. Using these things also causes a breakdown in personal communication.

Alternatively, the ability to trick someone else is a trait with advantages. While being duped by someone tricking you is a trait with disadvantages. Ergo, you need to learn how to detect such trickery and avoid mating with such people. Which is a trait with advantages, you would need to teach your children about.

Most of the shit you read in calculus books is bullshit honestly. I'm in my last year of an undergraduate applied mathematics program and I honestly don't use any of that shit.

The only shit I use from the calculus sequence is limits, integration, differentiation, integration by parts, substitutions, and some other bullshit from multivariate calculus (divergence, del operators, normal, tangent vectors, etc.) Maybe a couple of other things, but I don't recommend reading that shit cover to cover. Most of it is filler.

Goodluck friend.

it's not a contradiction because for them to measure clocks they have to meet. what you say is true for when they're a certain distance apart, where you can't really tell which clock is further (relativity has no simultaneous events).

if you image a specific case where they get apart and meet again you won't really find any paradox

What is it like working an R&D job?

I have a couple of job offers, and one of them seems like work that I would love to do. However, it's R&D, and no one in my circle of friends/family/whatever has ever done stuff like that. I'm pretty much asking if I'm going to want to kill myself.

Also, I'm an Electrical and Computer Engineer if that makes a difference.

Pure coincidence. The notation was invented just because things like that work out. It's just notation; don't get too caught up in thinking about math as mystical runes obeying mysterious rules.
