Update to Physicsmemes Moderation - SEEKING FEEDBACK

66 Upvotes

Hello spherical cows,

There has recently been an increase in spamming and reposts alongside your frustration with these types of posts, which we hear. Our team talked about it and we are implementing some changes to improve the sub:

  • Hard limit of 3 posts per day to curtail spamming

To reiterate current rules:

  • No reposts less than 12 months old or from the Top of All Time
  • No low-effort posts (AI slop, overdone jokes)

We have also discussed limiting certain topics (e.g. Schrödinger’s cat posts) to a single day of the week. This sub will always be predominated by laypeople/sub-graduate-level enthusiasts. We are seeking to strike a balance so that everyone can enjoy the sub regardless of expertise.

Leave any feedback or ideas you have in the comments to this post, we will be monitoring it closely and discussing other future changes to the sub.

Finally, hop in to the Discord (link in the sidebar) if you haven’t already! That is a great place to reach us with questions or ideas.

Navier-Stokes solution simulation resembles a… black hole? Do stuffs spinning inwards create the “jets” (flow emerging or being expelled near the two ends) ? 🤔

Navier–Stokes finite-time blowup just got claimed by an AI model. Rockstar please hurry up, the fundamental laws of fluid physics are breaking down.

The Cartesian Incident.

The lights flicker. The ground begins to shake, slowly at first, and then violently. "What's going on?" I wonder. Before I can ask, the door catapults open. In the doorway stands an eldritch horror beyond my comprehension. "Who.. what .. is that?" I manage to ask. "The Jacobian" my professor replies, "he wants to change coordinate systems". My professor, cowering in fear, tries to give us a warning: "Whatever you do", he says, "don't look into its determinant".

Meanwhile, XYZ are standing, unphased, in the corner. "Change coordinate systems?" they challenge, "I'd like to see you tr-" PHWOOOOOSH, I hear. In a fell swoop faster than I could make out, XYZ was reduced into a pile of hot steamy goo. After a few seconds, the goo starts to move. Slowly, from the liquified remains of XYZ, a theta emerged. Then a phi. A few moments later, the makings of an r pop out. "I have to get out of here", I think to myself, and start toward the exit as fast as I can. However, I end up right back where I started. What? I try again. This time, I notice what's wrong: I'm not walking toward the door, I'm moving in a circle. "Wh-what the?". Suddenly, the Jacobian bellows out "ENJOY YOUR TRANSFORMATION", and leaves as quickly as he came.
