Lower case looks like the mouth shape when you say Z, with mouth open, and you can even see the little tongue going down. Beauty.

Lowercase looks like a lowercase letter N for some reason.

Why would physicists use a letter such that:Why? Why?????????

This one is a little confusing: the upper case looks exactly like a letter P, but as the name suggests, it actually corresponds to the letter R. The letter P corresponds to pi instead.

Two lower case variants... both used in mathematical notation, and for some reason, in LaTeX \varphi is the one that actually looks like the default standard modern lowercase phi, while \phi is the weird one. I love life.

As if it weren't enough, there's also a Cyrillic script psi that is slightly different. Life's great.

The BBC 1979-1982 adaptations of John Le Carré's novels are the best miniseries ever made:They are the most realistic depiction of spycraft ever made.

Some honorable mentions:

Bibliography:

One of the most nerve wrecking movies ever made. Until they decide to rescue their colleague from jail, then it just becomes too surreal.

Related to what does it mean that photons are force carriers for electromagnetism?.

Combination of electromagnetism and general relativity. Unlike combining quantum mechanics and general relativity, this combination was easier.

TODO any experiments of interest at all?

In 2020 physics, best explained by general relativity.

TODO: does old Newtonian gravity give different force results than general relativity?

GPIO generally only supports discrete outputs.

But for some types of hardware, like LEDs and some motors, the system has some inertia, and if you switch on and off fast enough, you get a result similar to having an intermediate voltage.

So with pulse width modulation we can fake analog output from digital output in a good enough manner.
