Considering the curious shades and strokes, expression and fashion sculpted meticulously on this awkward medium, the image herself is quite mesmerising.

The odds of one object soon colliding with another object in particular are extreme, but this is a kind of 'birthday paradox' situation. I cant figure it out at hand, but one satellite out of thousands might end up with the same &

I could not translate the data for the real objects so I mocked up one of these for my physics project here: https://strainer.github.io/fancy#1 The satellites are in orbit, their speeds should be quite accurate, the rate of

They cost a great deal of R&D budget for their role in the development IT technology, and the larger part of development came from non military research, from academia and companies like Bell Labs. The Google workers urging their CEO to

I agree. Except I cant rule out a possibility that it may be possible to develop or evolve seemingly deeply intelligent virtual agents, and if/when I ever encounter such a thing I will not be able to be completely confident in treating

Even with the parallelism afforded by speed limits, a computer many trillions of times as powerful as we have today could not model the thoughts and life experiences of the billions of human beings and other creatures in this planet. Its no

This should be a sobering account to the remarkably popular theory, that given enough time we should inevitably make powerful enough processors to model a universe in sufficient 'detail' that creatures within it will be convinced

I hesitate to say this because I dont entirely grasp it at the moment but I think when electrons are travelling parallel to each other they can stop repelling... their repulsive force is overtly effected by their relative movement, as well

Maybe it goes without saying but what I found distinctive about gaussian distribution in multiple dimensions is that it seems to be the only distribution which produces a smooth radial pattern when plotted co-linearly (yet not radially). Al

Thanks. Adding sounds is on my list :)

As a fair example of structure coalescing from randomness and simple physics,I have to hawk this* example called 'bloop' from my web 3d physics project. It is a cloud of gravitating bodies with a simple 'sticky' force be

Shame I missed this thread. I do wonder about all aspects of symbols, how to differentiate shallow, deep or even consciously 'realised' symbols. Im wondering how things can be accidentally symbolic, with or without someone to obse

An obvious minimum link is that the area which has melted and broke off, also coincidently happens to have elevated temps recorded and indicated by modelling. https://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/warming

A smooth star cluster can be plotted by giving stars a normally distributed variate for each dimension. Normal distribution is the only kind which will result in a radially even cluster - any other distribution results in visible deformatio

I have had thoughts about how we attach meaning to symbols in computers (our designed computational systems), and how a physical system like a landslide, or accretion disk or something could accidentally assume forms and computation-like be

I just see a hastily laid out argument. The 1km/yr we have no idea what it really means, does that relate to previous centuries? or is it just the rate observed during recent times? (while global warming has already been detected) Th

I appreciate your reply but I find the argument is vague. If we are with the consensus on climate change, there is very little doubt this event is affected by it. It occurred in most warmed area of this map: http://www.realclimat

As I understand it - the sea ice extent is a quite different matter being thin and regenerating yearly. These lost iceshelves (including Larsen B in 2001) were hundreds of meters thick. I wonder what age these shelves were and what a sustai

I think this advice which is in all reports of this event is quite tenuous: "The calving of icebergs is a natural process. ... as news of the calving spread, many researchers were careful to note that they were not chalking it up to

I guess the geometry of galactic filaments may be examined for distortions/textures relating to non-standard red shifting. We may see the filaments are bent from our viewpoint in accordance with the presence of voids or other filaments

are_you_kidding its a wonderful image but the texture of the strings is a bit different - its more 'furry' I wouldn't be sure that is due to gravitational attraction, possibly electromagnetics involved?, maybe not but such ne

For sure I can see that inverse square effect can get involved unintentionally, but the function didn't apply it intentionally and it would have introduced non-inverse-square derived effect. After this early experiment ive tried multip

It was a random attractive function that did not even apply an inverse square law.

However the structure seems only present at huge scales. We dont even see it in nebula.

I was surprised to find the 'stringy' texture of intergalactic structure which these intense simulations seem to concisely capture , was also generated -roughly, by a very naive simulation which I applied to a few thousand points:
