> In our numerical model, we do not integrate the orbit of the Moon and instead use a single particle with the combined mass of the Earth and the Moon. Is that a standard assumption for this kind of model? For such a chaotic simulation,

Well most dating apps suffer from the problem of actual scarcity, in which they don't reach a critical mass of people to make the effort of making a profile and actively searching worthwhile. Tinder is one of the few that has gone &

Tinder does this to some extent by limiting how many "right swipes" a non-paying user has every 12 hours. I don't know if that is enough of a scarcity to really change any behavior though. At the very least it discourages th

Can you elaborate on what you mean here? Isn't B-T just a consequence of accepting the axiom of choice and performing some pathological decompositions of a ball? What do you mean by: >non-smoothness breaks conservation

The Uncertainty Principle is a very well established result which is quite generalized mathematically beyond Heisenberg's result. This has nothing to do with that principle.

You missed the point of their comment. The responders' point was that Quantum Mechanics is a different framework for modeling physical phenomena which takes a probabilistic framework, and so if fluid were to be modeled in a similar fra

Usually I hate this format, but given the ratio of text to images, I don't really think the "tweetstorm" style got in the way. Each tweet was atomized to reveal a bit more of his story in a well-paced manner.

Others have pointed out that matrix inversion is O(n^3) and hence computationally infeasible. It is also worth considering that the conditioning of X^t X, k(X^t X) can be as large as k(X)^2, so solving in this way can be very unstable.
