🧵 Physics forums

Are there any good physics discussion boards where the people who post actually know what's going on beyond undergrad?

Reddit is just schizo-posting and highschoolers/undergrads asking (often daunting) for advice

/sci/ is just schizo-posting an something-pilled posts by people without backgrounds in science trying to prove a post (atleast the people on /g/ actually talk about tech)

It's frustrating to have to filter through all the nonsense to find people who actually know what's going on, I'm hoping someone who does and can point me in the right direction sees this

ye kinda over it as well. anything without reddit tier bullshit or retarded moderation. there seem to be constant retards here specifically ruining science convos. seems like some weird thing for this place.

There are minority forums out there for specific topics.

Do you know better places where I should go to post about science?

Yeah how do I find these? As far as using the internet i'm braindead

most of these people are doing research to submit to journals not discussion boards

its just a supply/demand problem in the end
most people want undergraduate level content and thats the level you tend to get on the internet
although I have started to see more advanced topics covered as time goes by they are still pretty niche

they are probably doing something else.

This is supposed to be a place for researcher's "after hours talk".

No the Internet is too compromised for that. We aren't living in 2005 anymore.

You either have normies or schizos, often both.

Only good forums I've found have been locked in side corporate or organizational chats.

it's kind of cucked. get banned for anything out of corporate accepted speech and need email accounts and shit.

So we're back to the preinternet discussion days?
All of this technological progress has actually taken us backwards.

it actually pulled the normies in and they brought in all their bullshit.

The two types destroying /sci/ are normies who want to shut down discussion they find offensive and low IQ schizos who just derail discussion into nonsense. Both groups are quite numerous which impacts the quality of discussion quite a bit.

people used to live in the real world and use the internet as a form of escape, now the only form of escape is to return to the real world.

well, partially. sure people spent more time outside but they were pretty hooked on cable TV as well.

physics stackexchange is what i recommend. its not a forum, but good place to get quality answers if you ask quality questions

never posted anything there. but did read some good answers, in time.

Yes. Why are you surprised? In effort to make everything easier and more accessible the effect is created. The Internet is easy and accessible to use. Specialized forums are a bit dead because of this ESPECIALLY specialized forums on things that attract schizos and normies like physics.

This is also all the fault of Physicists as well. Like 100% on them. They purposefully glamorize and make the field seem exotic, masters of hiring STEM writers to come up with interesting metaphors for the actually dry and straightforward math and experiments being done.

Ask yourself this, when has an experiment ACTUALLY been discussed in any article going out to the public? Not the results either, but the design, the data points, how they explored the space of design to arrive at a conclusion or the data to conclude something? These dry topics are ignored because physicists just want to memorize the normies, attract the schizos, and secure public funding. But this has the added effect of ruining 'public' discourse of the field.

Another fucking idiot. Physicists don’t write your popsci articles you fucking moron. It’s the fault of science journalists not the people who do the real work. You write three paragraphs of self righteous bitching just to prove that you’re one of the idiots who ruins discussions on this board because he’s too stupid to know anything but still wants to force his opinion on everyone else anyway.

Literally all of your directors green light and encourage it. Every major national lab has entire communications divisions focused solely on that interface. Universities are the same way, maybe not embedded into the physics departments, but you better believe they work and greenlight university press which is where this ALL starts.

You clearly don't know the actual politics of your field.

One example argument of astronomers leading the public astray, booooosting creationism, and then trying to take it back - I know, astronomy isn't science, but this fits an example pattern to be on the look at for. They posit some absurd non-sense and someone points out the ramifications and then they piss themselves.
It is only a matter of time before the black hole picture to be outed as fake and gay. Come to think of it, does any scientific field have this or is it just those star gazing fags? Maybe the hotters also?
