>>11037854I think the problem is more with how physics is much more disjointed than math. Idiots can always be ignored but a general can't really be kept if no one really cares about what you're doing. The general level of /pg/ visitors is also a problem, which drives away anyone who can keep a decent discussion.
Take a /pg/ thread that showed up a couple months prior for instance; it was pretty frustrating for me to find that a supposedly "serious" poster didn't even understand how the Higgs mechanism works and the rationale behind spontaneous symmetry breaking, but I suppose my expectations were just too high.
