The problem of deletionism is that it removes users' confidence that their precious data will be safe. It's almost like having a database that constantly resets itself. Who will be willing to post on a website that deletes the content they created for free half of the time thus wasting people's precious time?

The Klein-Gordon equation directly uses a more naive relativistic energy guess of $p^2+m^2$ squared.

But since this is quantum mechanics, we feel like making $p$ into the "momentum operator", just like in the Schrödinger equation.

But we don't really know how to apply the momentum operator twice, because it is a gradient, so the first application goes from a scalar field to the vector field, and the second one...

So we just cheat and try to use the laplace operator instead because there's some squares on it:

But then, we have to avoid taking the square root to reach a first derivative in time, because we don't know how to take the square root of that operator expression.

So the Klein-Gordon equation just takes the approach of using this squared Hamiltonian instead.

Since it is a Hamiltonian, and comparing it to the Schrödinger equation which looks like:taking the Hamiltonian twice leads to:

We can contrast this with the Dirac equation, which instead attempts to explicitly construct an operator which squared coincides with the relativistic formula: derivation of the Dirac equation.

Where derivation == "intuitive routes", since a "law of physics" cannot be derived, only observed right or wrong.

TODO also comment on why are complex numbers used in the Schrodinger equation?.

Some approaches:

The derivative of a function gives its slope at a point.

More precisely, it give sthe inclination of a tangent line that passes through that point.

It appears that Maxwell's equations can be derived directly from Coulomb's law + special relativity:This idea is suggested by the charged particle moving at the same speed of electrons thought experiment, which indicates that magnetism is just a consenquence of special relativity.

Name origin: likely because it "determines" if a matrix is invertible or not, as a matrix is invertible iff determinant is not zero.

How genes form bodies.

法 (fa3) is the Chinese name for Dharma, and sometimes used as a way short way to refer to Buddhism.

TODO find a concrete numerical example of doing calculus on a differentiable manifold and visualizing it. Likely start with a boring circle. That would be sweet...

Based on the fact that we don't have a P algorithm for the discrete logarithm of the cyclic group as of 2020, but we do have an efficient algorithm for modular exponentiation. But nor do we have proof that one does not exist! Living on the edge as usual for public-key cryptography.

Ahh, this brings good memories of Ciro Santilli's musical formative teenage years scouring the web for the best art humanity had ever produced in certain generes. And it still is a valuable resource as of the 2020's!

Reaches 2 mK^[ref]. youtu.be/upw9nkjawdy?t=487 from Video "Building a quantum computer with superconducting qubits by Daniel Sank (2019)" mentions that 15 mK are widely available.

Used for example in some times of quantum computers, notably superconducting quantum computers. As mentioned at: youtu.be/uPw9nkJAwDY?t=487, in that case we need to go so low to reduce thermal noise.
