like anything that u think bothers a lot of people and what u think there's potential for a product that could improve this

Make a schoolbag that doesn't hurt ur back

anyone having an existential crisis after learning special relativity? like you're telling me we cannot say for sure the order which 2 events occur??? and there is no anchor point in the universe and empty space really is nothing with not even a point you can fix??? time IS actually relative????? there exists some frame of reference in which ive sat the hsc already??? there's some frame of reference in which i am dead and the sun has exploded, and we only experience 'the present' because we're just in another random frame of reference??????????????

Just wait until you get to module 8.
There is evidence that the universe is either open, flat, or closed, and this means that if it is a closed universe, at some time the universe will shrink just like the Big Bang but reverse. We are doomed. Also the sun is already mid-way through it's life cycle. What did it look like before the Big Bang? where did the energy come from?

 

[alphxreturns]

where did the energy come from?

:spawn energy 1/0

And I like how the laws of physics completely break down on really large, and really small scales.

Did you guys see the guy who was just doing a physics project for uni and casually broke the laws of thermodynamics

Idk the details I don’t do physics but basically when you put two like immiscible liquids together they try to minimise the surface area that’s touching bc surface tension or smth so you get the two layers (like oil and water)

This guy was experimenting with magnetised nickel and put two substances together and instead of forming two layers it made this weird Greek urn shape (like one liquid was the urn and one was the little side pockets)

Soooo they’re trying to figure out what the heck happened

HAI guys

do u guys have any predictions for the English advanced mod c question this year? I was thinking abt it in retrospect of last years question.........

so like a klein bottle?

Well... honestly my only prediction would be we get creative/imaginary, but sometimes I think how funny it would be if, to balance it out (which they wouldn't do I guess to be unpredictable), if we were given only persuasive... Maybe it'll be just an open question. Honestly, not too worried though, because as long as you have an adaptable scaffold and idea it should be okay at least

I think if they did that I'd cry on the spot

I signed up for a mind funk not an existential crisis

I lowkey feel like there will be an option b/w imaginative or discursive, with a 15/5 spilt. But the 5 marker I think will be a reflection on the stimulus provided rather than a reflection on your own work. This was basically 2022's Adv mod C:

yeahhhhh I was honestly thinking that too, they haven't pulled that recently and it would definitely shock some people

 

[Lauren Downey]

Does anyone here do TVET not VET. I am having trouble balancing both as well as a job and volunteer work

 

[KellyMc]

I'm stressed

 

[Lumimi]

Do people use all their textbooks for each subject? I think the only one I've consistently used is math lol

I only use for physics and math

 

[Realstudytips]

hypothetically lets say someones gets a D in their year 12 report for some subject, Is it still possible to get an atar of 95+??? or is the report thing just not real

The report is a representation of assessments and other class work, it should tell you your rank, the class average, and your average. Make sure to look at all the data given to you, instead of drawing conclusions from one point.
NESA counts your best 10 units towards your ATAR, so if it's just the one subject maybe don't worry too much. However, if it is recurring across multiple subjects I don't think it is possible to get over 90 ATAR. Speak to any advisors and your teachers for each subject that you are not doing well in, find your weak points, and grind until you are more confident with your understanding.

well to be fair the class average was a D and one person got a C. (this is for ext 1 maths btw) but also thats literally the only subject coz for ext 2 I got an A but when im applying for early entry they're gonna cook me for that d 🥲
