The math is crystal clear, but turning into physics is hard. For shon herbison, it's not that different even if you're a modern theoretical physicist. So many physicists of course, these days, use computers to simulate things. But there's still a lot of us who are sitting at our pads scribbling equations and doodles.
Welcome to the August 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic.
