Why is "user interaction: none" though? There should be reasoning attached to the CVSS vector in these CVEs.

Or if it's diet coke or regular coke. Yes, it's drinks, not food, but the same concept applies. They claim 90% accuracy, whatever that means, but I have my doubts regarding it's usefulness.

Sure. I'm not going to perform the computation, but my physical intuition tells me that it's completely negligible. The amount of thermal energy the earth absorbs or emits per year must be dwarfed by several orders of magnitudes c

I find that hard to imagine, considering we're talking about coupled partial differential equations in four dimensions. Well, if that's true, it really goes to show his desperation, I guess.

There seems to be a bit of confusion about the Hilbert-Einstein controversy [1], and I believe consensus is that Hilbert derived the equations a few days before Einstein, but did not claim ownership of the research. But this is the first ti

I agree that this recommendation is in general counter productive, but the correct solution here is for the corporation to require 2FA for all logins on the internet. There will always be users who choose bad passwords.

Ah, now I see what you mean. True.

Because the system exhibits rotational symmetry. It follows from Noether's theorem that angular momentum is conserved. Only when you include the interactions with other stellar bodies you lose the symmetry and you have an opportunity t

by mr_mitm 2y ago
No, that's not possible due to conservation of angular momentum. Only tidal effects can transfer some of it to the sun.
523.
by mr_mitm 2y ago
Negligibly so. The Sun delivers more energy to Earth in about 5 seconds than the magnetic field loses in 1,000 years.
524.
by mr_mitm 2y ago
It doesn't take any energy to maintain a static magnetic field though.

uv can seemlessly get the correct python binary on demand. It would be a pain to get, say, python 3.9 or python 3.14 on my system. Making sure uv is installed actually seems to be less of an issue, but of course this varies.

No one is saying the cosmological constant can vary. The idea is simply that if dark energy is dynamical, it clearly cannot be explained by a cosmological constant, but perhaps a scalar field instead. And my point was that this idea is noth

I wouldn't want to overstate it either, since I was just a lowly and IMHO mediocre PhD student at the time and my contribution to the paper was minor. Nevertheless, I believe I understand the relationship between the cosmological const

I don't that's the kind of gotcha you imply it is. Of course radiation is somehow involved in everything, it's what keeps matter together. We also read off the measurements with our eyeballs, and even if you used some sort of

We measure neutrinos and gravitational waves as well. It's much more difficult though.

I'm not sure where you got that I'm confusing something. For what's it worth, my name is in the author list of that paper.

I think it's worth noting that the five sigma standard traditionally comes from particle physics, though. Cosmology doesn't have the luxury of being able to generate arbitrary amounts of data, and in fact has been a precise scienc

In the standard model, the temperature of the CMBR evolves reciprocally with the scale factor, so it will go to zero.

I think this is also the better article. The other one is all over the place.

by mr_mitm 2y ago
No, it could also end in a big crunch or big rip scenario. They'd have a finite lifetime of the universe.
536.
by mr_mitm 2y ago
Yes, big rip was clearly disfavored by available data, and heat death ("big freeze") the most likely scenario. I haven't kept up in the past few years, abut AFAIK nothing so far has changed that.

I know it makes for a "better" headline, but don't be mislead by it thinking Astronomers actually thought dark energy was a cosmological constant, period. Read section 1.1 of the Euclid review paper from 2016 to get an impres
