im less interested in having a pedantic argument online regarding exact meaning of useful and exactly for what. the bottom line with this example is that its a useful model for some things and therefore still is taught in science classes to

You look at that wierd bright thing going baaaaaam for millions of years nonstop and decide you would like to know some stuff about it? ;-)

maybe a clearer case - the “planetary” model of electrons floating around the nucleus is useful in chemistry and is still taught in grade school, but i would definitely call it “discarded” in that no one doing research in the field would us

it’s a necessarily a logical implication that this theory would be a good approximation at certain scales just by the sheer fact that it used to be a theory that fit observations at some point. That is also true of “completely incorrect” th

Really? I suspect this is a troll but, in the static case, roughly the ratio of volume of space to how much gravitational force said volume applies on other objects. Extrapolate correctly for qm/gr - thats an exercise left for the read

by shwouchk 2y ago
We did "discard" newtonian gravity and mechanics in favor of sr,gr and qm as fundamental theories. They still give good approximations over a wide range of conditions so we keep using them for calculations.

Most ordinary objects have the property that the density of object mass has a very sharp gradient near some 2d surface that encloses a compact domain, and outside that is close to 0. However not identically 0, since eg the object is constan

At sufficiently relativistic speeds, it wouldn’t just be “like” an explosion - you would have instant nuclear fusion at impact.

Awesome stuff! I used to use Hackers Keyboard (up until … now!) but it’s not OSS, hasnt been updated, and i use the swipe even there. Thanks for sharing! [edit] Even more for making!

My point is that as a practical tool to simplify calculations, i see no value in NSA. The specific infinite results you get depend on the representative you choose and if you want to calculate integrals which you have yet to define, you nee

It is an interesting piece but to claim that no heavy machinery is used is a bit disingenuous at best. You have defined some purely algebraic operation “differentiation”. This operation involves a choice of infinitesimal. Is it trivial to s

If you care for an opposing opinion, i find this obnoxious. I can easily middle click/modifier+click your links to open in a new tab if i want to and this is way les annoying than going back to previous tab to close it.

Integration when extrapolated to many dimensions has many nuances, and be careful that you don't have a circular definition of hypervolume in terms of integration. For a simple example of difficulties consider comparing the volume of t

The field equations come from differentiating the lagrangian. See https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/3005/derivation-... for example. Youll need to read a bit on calculus of variations. Usually in univers

i have a similar setup for the past 20 years or so. I rarely get a raised eyebrow at giving X.yourcompany@mydomain.com, and if i do i state it upfront “this is for categorization” and never had to explain it again.

julia also. Mathematica uses literal “escape” sequences, ie you start a symbol by pressing the esc key and finish with another esc (aside from a bunch of bindings for commonly used things).

Jabref uses bibtex as internal format, which is fairly standard. There are some apps on the play store if you search for "bibtex", though i personally haven't tried them. I guess the main difficulty might be in regards to how
