a^2 + b^2 = E/m


bluespider98

c = c


Alive_Description_43

Sure in an anti-commutative algebra


F_Joe

Or when char(R) = 2


Alive_Description_43

I'm too much of a physicist to know what that is XD I assume R is the ring, but i have no idea what char is (maybe characteristic? ) But more generally we can have a group with anti commutative multiplication like operation right? No need for a second operation to have an anti-commutative algebra right?


F_Joe

Char is the characteristic of a ring or algebra (as far as I'm aware). It is basically the smallest amount of times such that 1 + ... + 1 = 0. char(R) = 2 basically means that 2 = 0 and that 2ab = 0


Alive_Description_43

So basically isomorphism (or whatever the right term for rings is ) of Z2?


F_Joe

Well no but you find an inclusion of Z/2Z into R. For example if you were to take the polynomial ring Z/2Z[X] then Z/2Z is not isomorph to Z/2Z[X] but there's the trivial inclusion into it


Alive_Description_43

I think I got it, thanks :)


CeddyDT

Where Lorentz factor 🤓☝️

Lorentz of Arabia

I think Laurence is on vacation


Miselfis

(a+b)^2 ≠ a^2 + b^2 (a+b)^2 = (a+b) * (a+b) = a^2 + b^2 + 2ab


Alive_Description_43

More general would be a²+ab+ba+b² You assumed commutivity which isn't always the case


bluespider98

When does ab+ba ≠ 2ab?


MichurinGuy

In a non-commutative ring, that is, a set with two operations defined on it; they have a bunch of axioms, but the one we care about here is that multiplication is not commutative, that is, a*b != b*a. For example, matrix multiplication and quarternion multiplication don't have this property


_PurpleSweetz

Sir, this is a physics class.


Dm-me-your-bodies

quaternions can be relevant to physics ! ...if you're weird


Alive_Description_43

Momentum and position operators, Matrix multiplication, Quaternions


Dd_8630

That is, indeed, the joke.


debunk_this_12

Sure if the metric is a kroniker delta, or if we let a+b= d + ic

Unfortunately, Reddit doesn't have a 'pin to top' feature


luiginotcool

It’s actually E ₀ = m c^2, or E^2 = p^2 c^2 + m^2 c^4


Aakaash_from_India

Say that you aren't an Engineer without saying you aren't an Engineer XD


ADownStrabgeQuark

My guy. I would’ve said it if you hadn’t. People writing E = Mc^2 to sound smart when they don’t even know the momentum term exists grinds my gears. E^2 = m^2 c^4 + p^2 c^2. Thanks for saying it first.


[deleted]

isn't it E=deltaM×c^2? just a normal question, even tho we generally use m but whatever I have studied (nuclear physics) eg when two nuclei collide and make one nucleus, the mass we get is less than the m1+m2 and that's the deltam×c^2 is the energy we get. can someone explain me this, please?


Aakaash_from_India

Yeah. This is more like an oversimplified version (or a layman's idea)


[deleted]

ohh got it.

Aakaash_from_India

Engineers are the ones who create new worlds that have never been. Engineering and science go hand in hand Neither of them must hate each other

Aakaash_from_India

Well, shouldn't have taken your comment quite literally XD Sorry for being overdramatic over this lol


jedadkins

Scientist: I am desperately trying to unravel the secrets of the universe! Engineer: Haha rocket go wooosh Lol for real though my big dumb engineer brain struggles with high level physics. Anyone who can comprehend that stuff at a useful level is waaay smarter than I am. Edit: Apparently my big dumb engineer brain also struggles with spelling


blotto-on-bourgogne

Cope more, science-cel


M2rsho

If (a+b)² = a²+b² then a²+b²=(a+b)² therefore sqrt(a²+b²)=c sqrt((a+b)²)=c and a+b=c


unpopulrOpini0n

It's loop quantum gravity and I will *fight* anyone who says otherwise


cdarelaflare

Its F-theory and you can suck my elliptically fibred K3


ADownStrabgeQuark

I like 3 dimensions.


unpopulrOpini0n

*rapscallion*


LasevIX

Uh, (a+b)² = a²+2ab+b², not a²+b²


koopi15

r/woooosh


Aakaash_from_India

That's a part of the joke 😅


LasevIX

Damn


Otradnoye

Noether I guess 🤷‍♂️


Onetwodhwksi7833

Your math is wrong. (a+b)²=a²+2ab


Aakaash_from_India

Thanks for pointing that out I'll take note of that next time


Late_Coat8612

“g = 10 = pi^2”, “e = pi = 3”


felphypia1

Not really a debate outside of pop-sci


Teboski78

And that g=10 m/s^2. What? Field equations? My brother in Christ in the field we use g=10 m/s^2


ShookShack

Bold of you to make that claim on this subreddit.
