If you ever find yourself among theoretical physicists and/or astrophysicists and need a conversation starter, just ask about unit systems or unitless/natural measurement systems. There is no other profession that is more obsessed about that topic.
Just to put this here:

Every time I see a reference to Jackson I can only think of this…
This has always been my biggest gripe with the exposition of this game. While studying physics I did the bare minimum of lab work and then dove into my theoretical specialization.
I remembered it being Newton’s gravity potential, but looking at a picture it’s just a big blur and could equally well be the force. Anyway, I applaud Ross as a physics layman for calling the scientists out.
Makes sense. Wigner’s contributions are everywhere in physics and parts of math. Must’ve come from somewhere.
This is an antenna array, a periodic configuration of individual antennas that results in a much narrower emission and absorption profile/shape. The individual antennas are of several 10s of cm size which makes it a radio antenna. Very commonly used in military communication.
Lovely picture! Either I don’t get the meme part or I can’t find Saddam.
