Unwind with Music and Movies: An Off-Topic Escape from Physics Discussions

  • Thread starter physicsphreak
  • Start date
In summary, the forum mentioned in the conversation does have off-topic sections for discussions on music, films, and other non-physics related topics. There is also a designated Politics Forum for those who want to have serious discussions. The conversation also touches on the various aspects of physics and how it is present in our daily lives. However, there is a difference in opinion on whether or not physics is boring.

Yep... ex-inmates are still traumatised... yess...

Yes there is. Just most of the favourite color/food/music/fashion accessory/celebrity/reprint of Feynman Lectures/6 letter word stuff have disappeared over the years, as people began to realize they were in fact boring as hell.

What! Blasphemy! Break out the heretic burning kit, oh brothers!

Ok, admittedly some of physics is dull - and it is a travesty that this tends to be the bit that is repeated again and again and again in school, turning a fair percentage of people against physics.

But physics is interesting, really.

Look up at the stars - physics can tell us what is really out there, how everything began, and how we will end up - the entire future of mankind.

Look at yourself - physics explains the key mechanism behind your bodies, shows us what holds them together.

Look at your computer screen - that is the culmination of centuries of physical science, accelerating phenomenally.

Look at the world around you - it is all physics in action.

One can not avoid doing physics - existence is a physical action. What the study of physics is looking at what we, and everything else, has, is and will be doing.

What is more interesting than that?

(The burning at the stake thing is a joke. Zero, PLEASE put that petrol can down!)

a dog licking its ass is more interesting than physics

That depends on the coefficient of friction of the dog's tongue.

1. What is "Unwind with Music and Movies"?

"Unwind with Music and Movies" is a series of events designed to provide a break from intense physics discussions and give scientists a chance to relax and enjoy some music and movies together. It is a fun and informal way to connect with fellow scientists outside of work.

2. How often are these events held?

The frequency of these events can vary, but they are typically held once a month or every other month. They may also be held in conjunction with other scientific conferences or meetings.

3. Are the music and movies related to physics?

No, the music and movies selected for these events are not related to physics. They are chosen to provide a diverse range of genres and allow attendees to discover new artists and movies outside of their usual interests.

4. Who can attend these events?

These events are open to all scientists and researchers, regardless of their field of study. The goal is to bring together individuals from different backgrounds and promote a sense of community and relaxation.

5. How can I suggest a movie or music for these events?

We welcome suggestions for music and movies from attendees. You can either submit your suggestions to the event organizers or bring them up during the event. We aim to incorporate a variety of suggestions to cater to the diverse interests of our attendees.
