The "absurd slowness" is gone since more than a year when it switched to using the libmamba solver.

1m³ ≈ 264 gallons, so it seems they forgot to multiply by the 600.

How do you explain the LIGO detection of a neutron neutron star merger that was at the same time observed as GRB by many, many other telescopes? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GW170817

How is Blumenladen English?

by maxnoe 2y ago
Because, according to the new rule, it's only permitted in proper names "Eva's Blumenladen" is the proper name of the shop, what is put on the sign above the door. "Evas Brille" is just Eva's glasses.

Hawking radiation is one process, but for spinning black holes, especially ones with accretion disks and magnetic fields around them, there are two more theoretical predictions: the Blandford–Znajek process and the Penrose process. https:&

Nore sure if serious or not, but anyway: 1) it isn't circular, although just barely (it's an ellipse) 2) the length of the day is not really related to the length of a year, and the second was defined as 1 / (24 * 60 * 60) =

A year is very close to pi * 1e7 seconds, better than half a percent.

You don't get to claim yourself that the evidence you obtained is extraordinary

by maxnoe 2y ago
This is easily solved by adding the well known quote (Sagan): "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." An older quote, addressing this case more directly would be (Eddington): "The law that entropy always increa

Very Cool! Since you mentioned the visualization part, let me comment on my pet pieve: The rainbow / jet color map should not be used for anything. It distorts your data and is not accessible for people with color vision deficiencies.

According to Wikipedia, the term dates back to at least 2002: > The frequent use of a double underscores in internal identifiers in Python gave rise to the abbreviation dunder; this was coined by Mark Jackson[3] and independently by Tim

That's exactly the kind of detector that observed this event. It's been done. Multiple observatories exist that have effective observation areas of hundreds to thousands of square kilometers. Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina

We have instrumented much, much more area than a square km. The largest instrument to observe cosmic rays is the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina, which has detectors placed on an area of over 3000 km².

Mass is of a single particle is extremely small (proton has a mass of 1.6e-27 kg), speed is very high and already very close to the speed of light at all but the lowest energies, so gravity "assists" are not really anything with w

It's relatively easy to detect cosmic rays if you are happy with secondary muons that are produced in the atmosphere when a high energy cosmic ray is absorbed. Detectors are relatively cheap and come out of the box for citizen science

Gravity has nothing (directly) to do with acceleration of cosmic rays. You need vert strong magnetic or electric fields, preferably in shock fronts. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_acceleration Directly, I say, b
