For those who dont understand the equation, E = Energy, specifically Kenetic Energy in this case, p = momentum, which is determined by mass and velocity, and m = mass. You wanna know something else? a^2+b^2=c^2 is the same fucking thing as E^2=p^2+m^2.
So it's all just Pythagoras?
Always has been
I have literally never heard a smart person ever say "degenerate" unless to refer to the fact the word originates from Nazi Germany.
::: spoiler spoiler (not in the mathematical context, smartass. When used to refer to things in a negative connotation. They're the ones who pioneered that)
uhmmm ahcktually its E^2^=m^2^c^4^+p^2^c^2^
Thank God for natural units
So she’s a classical kind of girl?
Did... She just set the speed of light to 1?
It's just a number, and all units are relative. So if you set it to 1 and make sure the equation still is valid it doesn't matter.
It is matter, though.
Except at the speed of light?
What about plaid?
It’s ludicrous!
Just use the only practical unit of length, "lengthunit", which is equal to 299792458 meters (whatever those are...) times the only practical unit of time, "time unit", divided by a "second" (whatever that is...).
She's measuring distances in light-seconds. Then the speed of light is 1 light-second per second
This isn't uncommon in lots of physics calculations where you are working at the same scales a lot and its cumbersome to keep carrying the constants around and it adds risk of making a mistake.
Think of it as assuming you are working in a system of units where you measure all your speeds relative to the speed of light. So rather than saying the speed limit of a road is 30mph you would say its .000000045c.
1 what? Apple per picosecond?
Actually, yes. Light travels about 30cm in a nanosecond, around the size of a cucumber.
Light-second per second
1 speed of light of course.
Is there another way to measure the speed of light?
Energy as a form of momentum
This makes me want to file a feature request with @[email protected] about Lemmy supporting L^A^T~E~X.
It already has trouble with regular code blocks.
Still salvageable.
'Yes mistress. I am stupid filth, mistress. Please teach me more."
Knowing Dommes that would work for some but you better at least be able to demonstrate a decent capacity in some stem branch. Engineering is a mixed bag because it’s great for degradation scenes but it is often a yellow flag
What do you mean by yellow flag?
I’m being tongue in cheek as I’m an engineer myself, but there is a certain type of person who is overrepresented in the career and leaves a bad taste in people’s mouths for us. These people are firmly camped at mount stupid on most topics, generally show poor social skills, and in general are not fun to be around. There’s also a misogyny problem within the career that many women have picked up on
Oof I got really worried I was camping at the peak myself just now, but then I saw the examples given and feel a bit better haha.
Hopefully being kind, open minded, and loving dominant woman doesn't make us a minority, as a fellow engineer.
Cheers, thanks for the explanation.
Degradation scenes? Wtf is that?
Listen, slut, you think you can just show up here and get off. No, you're going to earn it. Get on all fours! My boots haven't been tounge washed lately.
And so on.
Tongue*

pov: incel with physics education from wikipedia imagines what it'd be like to talk to a woman
Take my very energetic upvote
Did you upvote this while at rest?
Best I can do is an inertial reference frame
I'm not saying she's fast, but she gets around faster than a photon
She must be a satanist, then. She has negative mass.
Or she's an electron in some medium, travelling faster than the local speed of light
