For me, the weirdest thing is that when a charged particle moves through a magnetic field, it experiences a force perpendicular to the direction of motion; this results in the particle tracing out a curved path through the field. Like ... what the actual fuck? Why in hell would the universe be this way?
Bcz it's a simulation, or god is fucking with us. Who knows which one it is ๐คทโโ๏ธ
That's... huh...
Hey!!! Physicists!!! Can we get your input???
(Unless you're a physicist, in which case... fuck)
I mean, imagine if friction worked like this. You'd push a heavy object ... and it would move to the left (or maybe the right?) like it was on ice.
FWIW I do have a Physics undergraduate degree. It doesn't help in this case.
Well, shit hahaha but yeah, that would be weird as hell. I bet it has something to do with how electrons get aligned, but... I don't know much beyond electrons moving between their shells
Yea I only have a bachelor's in physics, can't explain the black magic fuckery that is electromagnetism. Go find someone with a PhD, I bailed to be an engineer
