This is a bit "formal hocus pocus first, action later". But withing that category, it is just barely basic enough that 2021 Ciro can understand something.

When the word "advanced" precedes QFT, you know that the brainrape is imminent!!!

Big goal: explain the Standard Model.

One problem with Django is that it does not expose its ORM as an external library: stackoverflow.com/questions/33170016/how-to-use-django-1-8-5-orm-without-creating-a-django-project which is wasteful of development time.

The people who work on this will go straight to heaven, no questions asked.

Examples under python/sklearn

pip install sklearn matplotlib seaborn

Protein dimer made up of two identical proteins, e.g. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid_synthase

The first planet not known since antiquity.

Quite cool how it was discoverd by the perturbation of Uranus' orbit.

The knowledge that light is polarized precedes the knowledge of the existence of the photon, see polarization of light for the classical point of view.

The polarization state and how it can be decomposed into different modes can be well visualized with the Poincaré sphere.

One key idea about photon polarization is that it carries angular momentum. Therefore, when an electron changes orbitals in the Schrödinger equation solution for the hydrogen atom, the angular momentum (as well as energy) change is carried out by the polarization of the photon!
