and of course reduction is the one where the electron count is in fact increased. because the charge is reduced. because ben franklin fucked things up this is why e&m is miserable
I literally never had issue with this. Number go down
I only talk to myself when Iām telling myself to do something. Telling myself to do something aloud helps me do it if my brain motions are deciding not to translate to bodily movement on a given day

every time i look at an e&m equation iām confused until i remember that oh yeah flow of electrons is negative charge or whatever
ADHD is awesome. Sometimes you try to stand up out of your chair and it literally does not work. You can do any thing you would normally do to cause yourself to stand up out of your chair and genuinely nothing happens. It feels like being paralysed

And if you say āstand up out of your chairā in a firm voice thereās like a 75% chance that works

see mathematicians donāt abide by this. they set their conventions and they donāt have a real world for those conventions to clash with. and if they turn out to be not nice they define new conventions that are nicer

did you know that thermodynamically speaking our conception of temperature is actually completely fucked. and that thermodynamics work better if you think in terms of the reciprocal of temperature instead
whoever came up with hotter = higher temperature didnāt know the concept of absolute zero and didnāt realize how they were setting thermodynamics back. but the reciprocal of temperature actually better reflects the fact that you can approach very close to absolute zero but never actually reach it. and other benefits presumably i donāt actually know this shit
So absolute 0 would be infinity and 500 kelvin would be 1/500?
you canāt get infinitely hot either though right?
well yeah but there isnāt an actual theoretical limit in that direction outside of like. the realm of physical possibility
yeah but then you canāt hit 0 in that direction either
well yeah thatās how reciprocals work
Thatās still true in the reciprocal form, but now the limit at X = 0 is infinity rather than 0
come back when you have a finite number you can divide by to create zero
yeah but
doesnāt that mean we have the same problem of not being able to hit 0 in reality? just in the other direction

anyway the actual concept is called thermodynamic beta if you wanna wiki it. but science wiki sucks as far as actually helping you to understand things goes so maybe also other sources
It doesnāt matter in the positive direction
