    Studying quantum loop theory lets you ride rollercoasters. If anyone asks if it’s helpful, call them silly and tell them maybe.

    I once had a lecture from him and he is a great orator. Sadly turned out he did some #metoo shit with female students.

    What the heck is actually going on in that first photo? I assume he’s not about to be concussed.

      I think I recognize him as a professor that takes teaching… I’d say seriously… but like, im not quite sure that’s entirely accurate.

      Let’s say “passionate” and “memorable”, and perhaps even “vigorous”

    In my experience, it’s actually the other way around: physicists can think in terms of equations, without having to visualize them. I generally can’t do that myself - I would get frustrated at talks where the presenter just had slide after slide of equations but some people could read those slides the way I read ordinary English text.

      I think a lot of them still rely on intuition and human level thoughts experiment. See The Feynman Lectures on Physics for a physicist using intuition. For example, when he explains the Fermat Principe with the lifeguard problem: the path of least time running on the beach and swimming to the victim is not the least distance. If you consider that you run faster than you swim, then you should run a bit further so you swim a bit less. This is analogous to the bending of a light ray (refraction, “broken” stick) when it enters water.

      Einstein is also famous for those: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein’s_thought_experiments

        I always use the example of driving around town. The fastest route is usually not the surface roads linking A to B along the shortest line, but a route that includes a highway with a faster route. Longer drive length, but shorter overall duration.

      Visualizing for me breaks down as soon as we get smaller than grains of sand. And even grains of sand have some really weird and freaky effects that my brain just won’t process well.
