Another poster has already linked [1] and [2]. That's what I was getting at as well: A bias towards the wedge/'join' and against the 'anti-wedge'/'meet' crops in via the geometric product, when

Isn't this just a consequence of phrasing things in terms of the wedge product instead of its 'pullback' via the Hodge? Because personally, I think the most natural representation of a reflection is the mirror plane, not its

The 30% 'platform tax' originated with Nintendo. It included the cost of cartridge manufacturing, but nowadays, 'everyone' (Apple, Google, Nintendo, Sony, Valve, Microsoft) takes it. [1] I have no idea how their pricing

You can apply Noether's 2nd theorem to Friedmann cosmology with cosmological time as your generator. This yields the expected contributions to the energy density, with an additional negative term that is (if I remember correctly) propo

by cygx 6y ago
If you have a positive and a negative charge floating in space, it takes positive energy to pull them apart against the force of electromagnetism. And yet, the energy density of the electromagnetic field is strictly positive.

If that were all there is to Covid, the excess mortality in Q2 should have been compensated by a reduction in Q3. While we do see such a reduction for Q3 in the numbers for Stockholm (which I cited in a sibling comment), it's too small

In Stockholm County in Q2, there were approx. 2209 more deaths compared to the years 2015-2019. In Q3, there were approx. 310 fewer deaths compared to that timeframe. [1] If I were a betting man, based on these numbers, I'd put my

Atoms consist of a nucleus made from protons and neutrons, and a hull made from electrons. Protons and neutrons in turn are made from up and down quarks (uud for the proton and udd for the neutron). Add the electron neutrino to fix up some

While the apparent straightness of a curve depends on the choice of coordinates, there's also an invariant notion defined in terms of the connection. This affects our understanding of forces: Accelerations live in the double tangent bu

Newton's first law tells us that in the absence of external forces, a body will keep going in the same direction, uniformly, ie its wordline will be straight. However, that concept is not available in arbitrary manifolds, you need addi

C will happily compile this Only if you ignore your compiler output: Even TinyCC will warn about that one on default settings. With the flags I use, the code would in fact fail to compile.

Not as clear as you make it sound: Swedes did change their behaviour/travel patterns in response to Covid-19, the Japanese instituted mask etiquette a century ago, and no one lives in South Dakota.

The exactly opposite idea of adjusting QM to directly work in geometry of strongly curved space-time is not pursued much. You can do QM on curved backgrounds, see eg https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/AQFT+on+curved+s

Energy gravitates. QM tells us systems can be in superposition of energy eigenstates, and we'd like to know what happens to the gravitational field in such cases. For that, we need a quantum theory of gravity. We have some recipes to g

At first glance, the plan9 code looks broken to me: EOF is commonly defined as -1, which gets converted to unsigned char (ie 0xFF) before lookup. If your encoding uses the full 8-bit codespace, that's the wrong thing to do...
