'''''Aharonov–Bohm effect''''' 1959

The Aharonov–Bohm effect, sometimes called the Ehrenberg–Siday–Aharonov–Bohm effect, is a quantum mechanical phenomenon in which an electrically charged particle is affected by an electromagnetic potential (φ, A), despite being confined to a region in which both the magnetic field B and electric field E are zero. The underlying mechanism is the coupling of the electromagnetic potential with the complex phase of a charged particle's wave function, and the Aharonov–Bohm effect is accordingly illustrated by interference experiments.

Sorry. Autocorrect and I have our moments. The point stands however.

You “break physical law” by showing that physical theory is merely effective. Why are you not investing in fundamental physics to render current thy effective??

[[Aharonov-Bohm Effect|Aharonov-Bohm]], Lee-Yang, Superconductivity, Superfluidity, etc are examples.

|content=@elonmusk @MuskUniversity Good job tonight by the way. But can we actually stop messing around and get focused on actually getting off this rock? This is getting dangerous just letting this Ukraine/climate/market thing keep running. It’s not gonna run like this forever…as you more than others well know.

You cannot quality control your nation to great theoretical physics. Can’t be done.

It’s about what has never been done. I could wipe out all of past theoretical physics with [[Peer Review|peer review]] &amp; quality control.

|content=“Mr Feynman: what is the measure on that integral?” 

“But then your eigenfunctions aren’t in your Hilbert space.”

“Wait: why are we adding ad hoc positivity conditions again?”

“So nature just gives us this magic sector Mr Higgs because it would solve all your problems? Have you considered going into screenwriting?”

“But Dr Einstein, your equations must be wrong because they lead to singularities that can’t be removed.”

“Dr Gell-Mann: you are just randomly applying SU(3) to totally different things. Like a man with a hammer thinking everything is a nail.”

“But Paul, then the election and the proton would have the same mass. Rejected for publication I’m afraid.”

“But [[Aharonov-Bohm Effect|Dr Aharonov]]: surely someone would have noticed this. I’m sorry. You can’t give a talk on magical E&M.”

Q: How do we get relocate these people at scale? How do they enter theoretical physics? It’s so bizarre.
