I say hi, you say low

**Marie Monday** · 10-26-2018, 12:32 PM

Hi there, I'm new to this forum. To forums in general in fact, so I have no clue how this all works, but I'll probably survive. I'm a 23 year old physics student. My music taste ranges mainly from classic 60s music to punk-related things; my favourite bands are the Beatles, Sleater-Kinney and the Kinks. And I love Bach. Other interests include books, drawing, Jodie Foster, physics, complaining about physics, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and interviews with Aubrey Plaza.

Welcome!

I've been meaning to check out Sleather-Kinney but never really got far.
What's the best Jodie Foster movie? My personal vote goes to Carnage.
Also: Gravity is a buzz kill so I can relate to complaining about physics.

Last but not least: The dogs bark worse than they bite and the forum is friendlier than it seems

The best Jodie Foster performance is in the Accused, I guess, but my favourite Jodie Foster movie is the Hotel New Hampshire just because it introduced me to her. And it's strange af.

Welcome to MB!
I'm pretty interested in physics. What field do you specialize in?
The MB forums can be a bit rude and crude at times but the people here are mostly cool and pretty chill behind the mask of nihilistic ****ery and really knowledgeable and passionate about music.

Oh and I love Amsterdam! Fantastic city!

Thanks for the welcome! (to all of you of course) Right now I'm writing a thesis on topological string theory. I'm still figuring out what it's all about but it's really interesting

Sounds cool.
String theory is fascinating but it's hard to get into it without getting really deep into the math.
A bit of math is okay (I'm an engineer and can take some) but at some point, and pretty quick, I'm lost.

I get that. Especially since subjects like string theory (or pretty much all physics since quantum mechanics) are really only understood on a mathematical level, so apart from that there is not much to get into. As soon as you ask what it actually means nobody knows...

I've never been to Amsterdam

Ok I think I figured out how to reply to specific messages so that's a start. You should definitely visit Amsterdam in the winter, it's at its most pretty when its dark.

Dude.
I didn't even smoke anything when I was there the last time.
We just walked and biked around, chilled in the park, ate some great kangaroo steak, went to a club...
It's beautiful there.
