[kerkoky]

where are these lectures about the electromagnetism and special relativity the professor is refering to?? i cant find them, please send me the link if anyone knows

@cubeloveme33 let's start off by learning how to correctly spell physics. now gtfo

[flowiepanda]

i love you

[vusiliyK]

Good gravy this is complicated to me.

@cubeloveme33 wtf is "ap ficix"?

[VerumAdNauseam]

The speed of light is an optical illusion.
