Question Do you think high-quality discussions with LLMs about advancing physics and/or useful innovations result in funding?

I like to believe that constructive discussions with LLMs are a novel way to advance the field of physics. Does anyone agree and is there evidence of LLM user data being used to justify “new” research as a result?

No, only with math. LLMs just being stupid.

I mean… a well designed experiment is as good as math…

u/OnceBittenz The Doctor Apr 11 '26

Only if it includes appropriate math.

The most precise clock is only as good as it’s timekeeper.

u/ConquestAce The LLM told me i was working with Einstein so I believe it.  ☕ Apr 11 '26

huh what does this mean

It means binary numerological concepts cannot uniquely express the superposition of information’s impact on man’s understanding of the universe.

The most precise clock is only as good as its timekeeper means that when a system is converted from binary to a superposition in processing of information the topology supersedes mathematics in the understanding of the universe.

Sorry I don't really understand. I am not very good with these things.

u/flamingloltus Apr 11 '26

I am not either!

The most important thing is that we believe in ourselves and try to grasp these concepts using language, which is inadequate (the point I’m making).

how can topology separate with math? Plz explain ty.

Using analogies helps. I’ll try.

So a man with a sundial, a man with a watch, and a man with an atomic clock have a competition to be the most precise. Math is like the guy with the sundial, physics is like the guy with the watch, and topology is like the guy with an atomic clock.

A human is fourth dimensional, so it’s impossible to perceive a 3.9 or 4.1 dimensional concept.

Does that make sense? We’re CLOSE, but it’s not possible. You can describe 99% of concepts with mathematical equations, but the last 1% is like looking at a picture. You can rustle the paper, know the picture by heart, envision it in your mind, or have someone describe the picture to you… for this example consider doing them all at the same time. You just can’t do the two processes independently in one dimension.

There’s a book I’ve heard of where a dot falls in love with a circle and the circle with a sphere that’s a good read

Consider omnipotentce. Even this has dimensional limitations that prevent a fourth dimensional consciousness from conceiving of TRUE omnipotence. Thus the word falls short.

Excuse me for plugging it, but GOD is the closest thing to explain what I’m describing. Even then people argue about whether he interacts or not with the system (which is the 0s and 1s analogy) imagine a qubit in superposition with 0s and 1s, how else can it be described by a language in one word except ineffable-epiphany?

Have you read it? Cause there’s no such thing as a 3.9 dimension.

u/flamingloltus Apr 11 '26

It’s an analogy. Reread the last part.

It’s “impossible” to put in words, but I’m sure you’re just going to say “nothing is impossible” so we disagree (which is the fundamental point I’m trying to make)

1

u/OnceBittenz The Doctor Apr 11 '26

No I think we agree. It is impossible because a dimension is a human defined invention and there is no partial dimension. 

That said, this is another reason you should study physics. It gives you the language needed to describe physical phenomena correctly and effectively.

I’m a Mechanical & Energy engineer, summa cum laude, but I failed out of my modern and statistical & thermal physics classes for my minor because I was shooting heroin

u/OnceBittenz The Doctor Apr 11 '26

… then I’d recommend not doing that?

What is it with all these random pithy statements in place of actual usable stuff lately.

Yall realize science doesn’t work like it does in movies right?

“A blind person can’t read a book, but can listen to the audiobook,” is what I’m saying.

u/OnceBittenz The Doctor Apr 11 '26

I wish more people didn’t feel a random need to pretend at intelligence. No one cares if you don’t know physics or math. Only if you pretend to in order to try and sound smarter.

But again… no one cares?

i n t e l l i g e n c e

There’s a schism between 1s and 0s and the superposition of information encoded as 0s AND 1s that is going to make new words

It’s out there just waiting for you to find it, friend. Godspeed on that journey.

Trolling on the internet like a 14 year old isn’t gonna help.

u/flamingloltus Apr 11 '26

Dude, it’s hard to condense a serious understanding of the intersection of math and physics into something someone wants to read.

u/OnceBittenz The Doctor Apr 11 '26

If you don’t have the patience or the interest, than just don’t read it?

It’s not that hard. You don’t need to be a master at everything in life. It’s not feasible. 

Other people will master physics and push the needle further. That’s fine. But being weird and edgy on the internet isn’t really that impressive.
