What is it about physics that attracts the most Dunning-Kruger, annoying and self-assured retards?

The worst part about physics majors is they all assume we should be extremely impressed and blown away by every stupid thing they learn in their relativity or QM courses.

I get how you can "hmm," but how do you "haw?"

Physics majors are generally nice people but every class I'm in ends up with at least one absolute piece of shit exactly like you describe
The rest of us ostracize them as much as we can

Jej nice bate

I dont know, but I've noticed this too. Those guys are hated in the physics department as well though.

The vast majority of this board consists of kids like that

Hence the constant stream of pop-sci tier containment threads.

i agree. i knew several "pure" physics majors and they were exactly like you described. i don't know, maybe it's a defense mechanism
>inb4 Freudian garbage

It's full of physics majors
As a physicist, he has to balance with real life implementation. Why does he needs fourier series? How are those related to real life and measurable frequency? But you just copy everything, and think that you understand it. But you cant undestand the connection with real life.

>Why does he needs fourier series
if he needs to ask this question, then he probably shouldnt take the course

Mathfag logic...
I agree.
I used to have a Physics professor that thought everything came back to Physics and when asked about Maths, he would reply "that's just a tool Physicists use" with a complete non-meme expression.

it's the (literally) autistic kids that played with spectrometers growing up
>ask questions in lecture and don't give a shit if I'm annoying other people
I actually get off on the idea that I'm pissing off self-absorbed mathlets by slowing down their precious lecture, why don't you confront me about it if you feel so strongly
oh wait you won't, ljl
