Reminds me of the opening paragraph from ‘States of Matter’:

Ludwig Boltzmann, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand. Paul Ehrenfest, carrying on the work, died similarly in 1933. Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics.

That opening goes pretty fucking hard.

University Physics sucks but physical chemistry is all Boltzmann all the time and it's so awful

the older the meme gets the more it seems to dissipate into low res and compression artifacts. It's like a fading memory

As is the way. Soon it will be your turn to screenshot this image, print it out and take a photo you can share with others online ❤️

My baby you’ll be, or some such did me in as a parent who lost their mother. I’m not good to read that one.

I have that book. It has an absolute ton of practice problems. They were not very helpful for my electricity & magnetism final!

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yup. Study the past papers, not the textbook.

Absolution by Jeff Vandermeer.

Never cried reading a book. And I read a ton. Cry with music, TV, and movies. Never books though. Weird. Never thought about it.

Try reading them in bed laying on your back. When you fall asleep and drop them on your face, the heavy ones will make you cry.

Have you read University Physics by Young?

[–] BowtiesAreCool@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago
