Clearly an unrepentant recidivist. Life in prison for him!

Any time you want to react to the substance of my comment I’m here.

Right now I’m standing in front of the building, so I’m definitely not Stephen Hawkings. Also I’m not dead.

Also also, Hawkings was talented, but not a solid state physicist.

If you want to troll here, you need to up your physics game. At least pick a relevant dude from the scores of Nobel prize winners my discipline has brought forth in the last fifty years or so.

YOU ARE NOT RANDOM TV SCIENCE GUY I’VE HEARD OF doesn’t work here.

Bluesky’s block propagation makes trolling and shit posting virtually a non issue. It’s that good.

Instead, Lemmy seems to get worse and worse moderation-wise every day.

Electronics is a field that applies electricity and magnetism to make useful things.

No, That’s electrical engineering.

Electronics is specifically the study and application of devices whose properties are determined by the charge carriers themselves (the electrons), ie. band gap semiconductors.

Whether it’s science (physics) or engineering (EE) depends on why you are doing whatever you are doing. Understand stuff? Science. Make stuff that does stuff? Engineering.

Of course, there’s a lot of bleed and cross pollination on the bleeding edge. This is known as the science/technology feedback loop.

Dude, I’m sitting right now in front of a building full of people that basically study PN junctions for a living. If I tell them diodes are not physics they will be very upset.

Yeah that tracks.

Sounds like something a BIRD would say!

Wait, is this real? Surely this is parody, right?

Tbf I know people with PhDs in two unrelated fields, and they are definitely supervillain material.

You know what’s it like to do a PhD and you want to do it again? Psycho alert!!
