To be fair, many physicists are excited about habitable planets. And fluid dynamics, which would include Earth's atmosphere and hydrosphere. A friend's son is a "condensed matter" physicist, meaning he studies ordinary matter. [[User:Nitpicking|Nitpicking]] ([[User talk:Nitpicking|talk]]) 02:42, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
 
 
:Note that standing near a planet is generally deadly. Only safe place is standing ON the (habitable) planet. And while technically fluid dynamics covers everything fluids do, the interesting parts are tornadoes, whirlpools and similar not-entirely-safe things. -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 00:32, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
 
 
When I was an undergraduate, the diamond press was exciting - it creates the pressures near the core of the Earth - being a hydaulic press it was very sensitive to temperature, it was the only air conditioned lab in te building. made it quite popular on summer days.

I had to laugh more from the explanation than from the comic. Kudos! [[User:Elektrizikekswerk|Elektrizikekswerk]] ([[User talk:Elektrizikekswerk|talk]]) 06:36, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
 
 
"They have thoroughly studied everything there is to study about these ordinary conditions" is, er, a bold claim.[[Special:Contributions/172.70.85.5|172.70.85.5]] 09:09, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
 
 
For some reason I'm reminded of the Charles M. de Talleyrand quote: "A diplomat who says yes means maybe, a diplomat who says maybe means no, and a diplomat who says no is no diplomat." [[Special:Contributions/172.69.33.175|172.69.33.175]] 20:59, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
 
 
It's a good idea not to stand next to Honest Joe's Perpetual Motion Machine, or you may have all the energy sucked out of you. [[Special:Contributions/172.69.79.173|172.69.79.173]] 09:32, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
 
 
Point of info: it's pretty hard to ''not'' stand near dark matter, a thing which physicists are really excited about. [[Special:Contributions/162.158.162.215|162.158.162.215]] 06:32, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
 
 
I get excited about many things, such as my friends. Should I stop standing near them? :( [[User:Psychoticpotato|Psychoticpotato]] ([[User talk:Psychoticpotato|talk]]) 13:51, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
