Scientifically speaking, how is it possible that I know three people who have had severe side effects from the covid vaccine but not a single person who has had covid19?
>7 generations of documented family history >each person is above average height (current generation is 1.9m+ each) >not a single fat person, every person either underweight or of appropriate BMI
It's clearly not a coincidence. There's some kind of gene that makes some select for height. What's the point? No one in my family has ever been a sportsman or will ever be, because height is inversely correlated with athletic performance.
What are the advantages of height?
I might be tripping but does anyone have those images summarizing all advanced technologies we have today just in case you were transported back to like ancient age and have to rebuild the civilization from the ground up? I remembered they were uploaded to imgur

This is the primordial, aetheric derivation of number. One cannot become more baremetal, more concise, more clear, more simple. It is the first principles, fresh out of a deluge declaration of Gods canvas. Pencil and Paper.

This is the realm of ideas, here icarus flies to close to the Sun, without a firm foundation in the prior ideas, one finds themselves burned by the sun. They point at mirages and call them possessed of fresh water. Only to find their circles many sided, their lengths incommensurate, stick non-numbers on numberlines. Declaring the ability to reach the infinite- the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. They learn not how to reason about the continuum, their metaphysics and physics are not bridged, they have been built from the outside, but not the inside.
But have no fear, mathematician wandering unto the abyss, for MMP offers a light, a simple set of rules to re order your the mathematicall landscape you've stitched together with internalized and normalized paradoxes. To take your house of pillars of salt an onto pillars of granite. Remember the wisdom of the auncients, for they built wide, not high.
Do other physics grad students struggle this hard with stat mech (grad level) ? Like everytime I siy down and try to with one of those nightmarish derivations it gives me an identity crisis.
If my main interest is QFT (QCD specifically), will stat mech even be that important or should I stop bitching and nolife it
