Humanity actually benefits from the works done by Applied physicist, for example they model next generation transistors which will be used directly in your every life.
I can't, for the life of me, think of any aspect in modern humans life that gets affected, directly or indirectly, by shits like string theory.

String theory was a scheme devised by physicists to maintain cashflow, it's not real physics.

'Applied' anthing is just code for dumbed down retard version of the thing.
Anyone capable of understanding physics will immediately be able to apply that knowledge to some practical end. But someone who only knows 'applied physics' doesn't understand actual physics.

As funny as it is to stay stringniggers, I think they may be onto something even if they themselves don’t know what it is yet and it’s final useful form may be nothing like it is today

applied, no diff

lmao, yeah sure genius buddy.
you will know all about aeronautics by knowing the topology of the n-sphere and fourier analysis on groups

I have an autistic friend who did aerospace engineering and I can understand him 80% of the time because we use the same differential geometry and field theory language, just for different applications (hydrodynamics and quantum field theory). Brainlet engineers like you cope with their inability to grasp abstract concept by going “what are the applications bro? If something’s not right in front of my eyes then it’s made up bullshit.” Very low IQ behavior.

yeah bro string theory and relativity are more useful than knowing electronics, computation and CAD/simulation.

30% at most.
"Oh I get it that thing is like this thing I studied in a completely theoretical setting but I don't know how to implement it nor I know shit about stats"

>Brainlet engineers like you cope with their inability to grasp abstract concept by going “what are the applications bro?
I'm a mathematician retard. Engineering exists because applications aren't fucking obvious from some topological rings manifold bullshit theory

You only understood 10% at best. The other 90% flew right past you, it didn't even register. lol

>my field of study is more important than your field of study

why are so many people insecure about this

Based thread, as somebody in condensed matter physics there’s far more benefit to be had in applied physics research in the same amount of time it takes for some ivory tower egghead to show why the universe is expanding a little less slowly than we thought. The equipment, time and money required are also far less for the most part.
Besides there’s the wealth of shit we don’t understand: non-equilibrium thermodynamics, turbulence, how to properly model chaos and nonlinear dynamics, and finally how mesoscopic physics, the physics of stuff around 1-20 microns really works.
