I got it right hydrogen and helium produced in the Big Bang are being fused into other, heavier elements in stars and their supernovas.
Questions:
Is there a natural process that divides heavier elements into hydrogen and helium?
If it exists, does it or will it ever be done a rate even close to the rate at with hydrogen and helium are being fused?
If the answer to the previous is no, does that mean the universe will eventually run out of hydrogen and helium?

Checking out a problem while studying for an exam: Let a triangle be ABC, and to find the point D where the sum of the distances from A to D, B to D, and C to D is minimum (in the XY grid). Let's name these distances a, b, c for convenience. The proposed solution uses the sum of the squares of a, b, c (which simplifies the situation massively); however I don't get how the sum of the squares of a, b and c being minimum implies that the sum of a, b and c shall necessarily be minimum.

> Is there a natural process that divides heavier elements into hydrogen and helium?
No. Although radioactive decay (and fission) may emit free neutrons (which decay to protons, which are hydrogen nuclei) and and alpha particles (which are helium nuclei), these processes are far less common than fusion. In general terms, the process starts with hydrogen and produces heavier elements as it progresses.

> If it exists, does it or will it ever be done a rate even close to the rate at with hydrogen and helium are being fused?
No.

No. Eventually you end up with matter that's not hot enough or not dense enough to sustain fusion.

Hey, I want to know if my vague intuition on wavefunctions and QM makes sense or is wrong.
I know I should just take a qm course but I will only do it in a year, and my friend taking that course asked me some questions I have too so maybe an introductory qm course doesnt necessarily answer it.

I imagine particles as waveforms which can be interpreted as describing where the particle probably is.
When a photon hits an electron then the waveforms move towards eachother, interact and chance eachother and then maybe a photon bounces off again or whatever.
Analogously I imagined the collapse of a waveform simply as a waveform contracting to a very small location, so the particle is probably in a very very small area.
So in the double slit experiment I imagined the electron waveform interacting with the screen so it continuously contracts to some tiny area where the photon hit but it isnt a dirac delta.
A professor said though that waveform collapse is an absolutely discrete process.
I also dont get how obververs would work with this, can the waveform collapse for one observer but not for another?
this is probably a really stupod question because I dont even know qm

Yes, that's a theorem, but that theorem only says that if we have two continuous functions at the same point, then the product of the functions must be continuous at that point, but this theorems doesn't mention what happens when you take a product of a function that is a discontinuous at one point and a function that is continuous at that same point, sometimes, that product, can yield a continuous function at that point, for example, let's define the function sgn(x), which gives the sign of a number, when the number is negative, the function returns -1, when 0, 0 and when 1, 1, this function is discontinuous at x = 0, but if we take the product of sgn(x) with x it gives a new function which is abs(x), and this function is continuous at x = 0.
So there may be some cases where the product of a continuous function at a point and a discontinuous function at the same point may yield a continuous function at the same point, but can this happen with division?, especially where the numerator is the discontinuous function and the denominator is the continuous function?

No. Asphyxiation is the failure to get enough oxygen into the blood through breathing. This includes obstructed airways, paralysis of lung muscles, being in an environment with insufficient oxygen (e.g. drowning), etc.

Failure to get enough oxygen to tissue is hypoxia, which can be caused by asphyxiation, blood loss, heart attack, blocked arteries, anaemia, carbon monoxide, etc.

If x+y+5≥0 then multiplying by x+y+5 is safe. But in general, it isn't; if x+y+5<0 then the comparison gets flipped. Whereas multiplying by (x+y+5)^2 is always safe, as a square is always positive.

Not with conventional measurements. Usually it's a wall splat, or orientation. I'm still getting back to date. But I think a waveform in collapse has been measured over milliseconds. For a super position in a device of sorts.
>electron waveform interacting with the screen so it continuously contracts to some tiny area
Extended field interaction? Or moments before impact?
Well either way, it's not settled yet. You've got a few operations of Q waves.
Bohmian mechanics suggests quantum states observe quantum states. I read it as a wave peaks adding up but not a measurement itself. But can be measured.
Those wave peaks are correlative when a wire frame is drawn from them. Giving pathing knowlege.

then there's Copenhagen interpretation
>Despite an extensive literature which refers to, discusses, and criticizes the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, nowhere does there seem to be any concise statement which defines the full Copenhagen interpretation
Basically you're golden whenever you reference it ;)

Literally it's just a statistic.

There's more. But Copenhagen kinda spams over them.

Doesn't seem the case if a wave in collapse was measured, But I can't remember source.

With the switch closed, the equilibrium (stationary) state is when the inductor's current is constant and the voltage across it is zero (V=L*dI/dt). The inductor current will be 120V/10Ω=12A.

Opening the switch will cause that current to circulate through the 10Ω+30Ω resistors = 40Ω, so the initial voltage will be -12A*40Ω = -480V. Current and voltage decay exponentially with a time constant of L/R = 1H/40Ω = 25ms. After 40ms (= 1.6τ), both will be reduced by a factor of e^-1.6 ~= 0.202, so 96.9V and 2.42A.

The magnetic field is proportional to the current, but the actual value can't be determined from inductance alone; you need to know the geometry, dimensions and core permeability.

The whole matter comes down to the nature of heat. Remember that heat is not a "primitive notion" like mass or charge is. It is the aggregate result of the nature of matter as a bunch of atoms which interact with each other. For the case of gases at common conditions, this can be approximated as hard, minuscule spheres frictionlessly bouncing off of each other. Given all their masses, positions, and velocities, you can completely describe the evolution of their states with Newtonian mechanics alone. Indeed, some simulators which exist to teach the concept of heat do exactly that.

In practice, we don't have that much information for real systems, so we describe them using aggregates that are easy to measure, like temperature, pressure, and volume. Since these don't give us the full picture, we use statistics to tell us what information these variables provide us. In particular, entropy says that, given our usual choice of macroscopic variables, how many microscopic states could produce those values, hence:
[eqn]S = -\sum_i^n \mathrm{Pr}(\Omega = i) \ln \mathrm{Pr}(\Omega = i)[/eqn]
Where [math]S[/math] is entropy and [math]\Omega[/math] is the current state of the system, expressed as an index from a list of all [math]n[/math] possible states.

Hence, since most of the states (a vast majority, in fact) only belong to the higher entropy classes, a system which does a random walk across its state space will spend most of its time in the higher-entropy states. So much so that once it reaches them, you are astronomically unlikely to ever see it go down for a system of any macroscopic size.

That is the origin of the second law of thermodynamics, and hence all heat flow. A system with heat spread out across it has a much higher entropy than one with hot spots and cold spots.

Angular momentum isn't conserved (at the start of the roll, there isn't much angular momentum).

If the car starts to slide sideways, there's an inward force applied in the plane of the road, below the centre of gravity, resulting in torque about the forward axis. In order to cause a roll, this has to be enough to counteract the torque from the offset between the centre of gravity and the outside wheels, which normally keeps the car level. Once the car starts to roll, the horizontal distance between the centre of gravity and the outside wheels decreases and the corrective torque decreases, resulting in an increasing net torque and thus increasing angular acceleration.

It's the same as an pole which is balanced on its end. Once it starts to topple, any deviation from the vertical increases the torque which accelerates the fall. With a rolling car, the effect is magnified by the fact that the roll will tend to push the outside wheels against the road, increasing the friction.

I have a very stupid Algebra question.
Let [math]G = S_4 [/math] be the symmetric group and [math]H = \{(123),(132),(1)\}[/math] be a subgroup of [math]G[/math]. Further let [math] \sigma = (14)[/math].
The problem asks to calculate [math]\sigma H [/math] and [math] H \sigma [/math] and then asks whether [math]H[/math] is a normal subgroup of [math]G[/math].

What I calculated is
[eqn] \sigma H = \{(1234),(1324),(14)\} \\
H \sigma = \{(1423),(1432),(14)\} [/eqn]
since they are different, I concluded that [math]H [/math] is not a normal subgroup.

But the book claims that
[eqn] \sigma H = \{(423),(432),(14)\} \\
H \sigma = \{(423),(432),(14)\} [/eqn]
and that [math]H [/math] is a normal subgroup of [math]G[/math].

I just realized that heat is not "energy" (i.e. total energy, the conserved quantity); free energy is. If we consider a closed system, free energy is constant; so when entropy increases, internal energy (heat) must decrease. This still leaves me to understand why heat flows from hot to cold, though. It's easy to understand the picture of fast-moving molecules colliding iwth slow-moving ones and transferring their kinetic energy, but I want to understand it at the abstract level, considering only the basic thermodynamic quantities.

no. when I was at imatriculation I was sitting next to some dude and we started talking. he said that it was his second attempt to study pure mathematics. his exact words were something like "it's a great program but it takes a long time to finish. usually like twice as much." that scared me a bit. then the school started, and it WAS hard, but I was never on the edge of being kicked out. he made it through three semesters, because these are kind of the same for all programs (pure math,statistics, applied..). once the actual math started (complex analysis, measure theory, differential geometry) you could see that he just didn't have a clue what was the subject about. last time I saw him was at a complex analysis exam which he botched. he was kicked after 4 semesters, same as the first time. so where was his mistake? he just didn't have what it takes.

You're right, I just should have looked it up on the book that I used years ago (Schroeder). Apparently (and quite logically in hindsight), you need to keep in mind that energy is exchanged between systems, and that total entropy tends to maximize. If one system is cooler than the other, it will gain more entropy per unit energy than vice versa, thus energy will move from hot to cold.

No. There's no purpose to your "backwards" truth table. Write out 8 rows and put ones in the row(s) corresponding to each term.

No. E.g. ab = abc+abc', i.e. terms with only two variables should occupy two cells (and 2 rows in the truth table). If there was a term with one variable, that would occupy four cells (and rows).

The abc' term is subsumed by the ab term: abc'+ab=ab. You can combine the ab and a'b terms to just b: ab+a'b=(a+a')b=b. In the remaining terms, any b' is redundant: a'b'c+b=a'c+b, ab'c'+b=ac'. So you end up with b+a'c+ac'.

You need ideas from calculus to provide a coherent general theory of volumes. You don't necessarily need it to examine the volume of simple shapes stemming from observations/assumptions about even simpler shapes, for example the volume of a cube or the area of a square.

I believe the greeks calculated the area of a circle by constructing a series of alternating over- and under-estimates via circumscribed and inscribed (resp.) polygons with an increasing number of sides, finding the area of such a polygon (which can be represented as a sum of squares and triangles), and observing that the two approximations converged to the same number. Within the framework of modern math, we would use the epsilon-delta definition of limit to show that the sequences actually converge to the same number, but even before such formalism it was considered obvious.

im wondering about "true" randomness in the universe. what are the current thoughts and ideas about this? by true randomness i mean not random in the sense that its not practical to ever be able to predict events because of incredible complexity that is beyond us, but things that are truly random at the smallest and most fundamental level.
i feel like there should always be a way to work out predictions, even in something as complex as a person deciding to skip work one day. should be able to figure such a thing out if ALL of the information needed was known, no? or is that a very uneducated view?

[Anonymous No.10815867]

>>10815856
In classical physics, there is no randomness. In quantum mechanics, there may be. Quantum mechanics is all just theory at this point, but it is commonly believed that quantum mechanical systems can exist in a superposition of states which then collapses (wavefunction collapse) into a single state. What state it collapses into is determined by probability; it is not necessarily guaranteed that it will collapse into a given state.
What causes wavefunctions to collapse is not known. It is generally said to be 'observation', but not everyone agrees on what 'observation' is. This is part of why there are multiple interpretations of quantum mechanics.
Of course, quantum mechanics in its entirety is just theory, so even the concept of wavefunctions and superpositions is just theory.

Maybe. I think it's not so much that the explanations are necessarily complicated or complex, but rather that we just don't have the information/knowledge/etc to know whether or not said explanations are correct.
For example, in the 'consciousness causes collapse' interpretation of quantum mechanics, a wavefunction (probability) collapses from a superposition into a definite/real state when a conscious being observes it. That explanation in itself is very simple, clear, and straightforward, but it would be extremely difficult if not impossible to prove, because if conscious observation causes a wavefunction to collapse, then attempting to measure something in a superposition would necessarily make it collapse, which means observing it while in a superposition would be impossible.
Of course, the 'consciousness causes collapse' is just one example of a theory/possible explanation.
>remove the element of randomness/probability
I think it's too soon to say whether or not randomness truly exists in quantum mechanics, but it certainly seems likely.

Because outer space is a long way from the sun (or any other star). That's what "outer space" means: space that's far from anything.

Also, "space is cold" refers to the equilibrium temperature of an inert lump of matter, the temperature at which energy lost through black-body radiation equals that which is absorbed.

Anything that actively generates heat (e.g. powered machinery or warm-blooded creatures such as humans) will get rather hot without some kind of cooling system. Spacesuits generally cool by evaporating water into space, spacecraft have heat pumps and radiators.

I'm a brainlet trying to wrap my head around optics.
I need to get an image from the circle to the square. My dumb caveman first solution was to just put a screen at A and use two 45° mirrors to reflect it to the square. However, I need the circle assembly to be as small as possible, and the smallest non-garbage-quality screen I could find was 32mm, which is still larger than I'd like.
Then I thought I could mount the screen to B instead and reflect it to the first mirror with another mirror, but now I have little idea how wide the assembly including the new diagonal mirror would have to be, and what angle it would have to be at, in order to get the whole image. Dumb caveman brain says it'd have to be at 45°, same as the others, making it just as wide as the screen itself would be and defeating the purpose. But that'd only be if the light came straight out of the screen and didn't go in any other directions, right? I don't need the screen to be perfectly straight, only entirely visible. I tried modeling the reflections in some free online tools, but they all seem to be built for things like lightbulbs, lasers, and flashlights rather than "Is this legible from this angle?"

Tl;dr is there a way to use lenses and mirrors to reflect an image X mm wide around a corner while keeping the assembly to do so less than X mm wide?

If you're trying to view the screen using only one eye, then the mirrors can be smaller than the screen. Draw an isosceles triangle where the apex is the viewpoint and the base is the screen. Adding a mirror lets you flip everything on one side about the plane of the mirror.

If you're trying to view the screen using two eyes, the size of the mirrors would need to be based upon the distance between the eyes.

Using lenses or curved mirrors would allow you to condense the path, but then any errors in positioning become magnified. E.g. even small vibrations can result in the image shaking.

I see, so if the base is X mm wide, then depending on the distance the mirror is from the screen, the mirror can be less wide than that since it only needs to be wide enough to touch both sides of the cone, right?
Thinking of vision as an isosceles triangle really helped me in modeling it.
It looks like using an additional 45° mirror wouldn't really help make the assembly thinner at all, and may even make it larger. But it appears that using a mirror at a smaller angle followed by multiple mirrors to bounce it down a corridor would make it a bit thinner and quite a lot shorter as well.

We know that
[math] \lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{F_{n+1}}{F_n}=\phi [/math]

Which means for sufficiently large [math] n [/math]
[math] F_{n+1} \approx \phi F_n [/math].

So for some large number N,
[math] \sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{F_n} = \sum\limits_{n=1}^{N} \frac{1}{F_n} + \frac{1}{F_{M+1}} + \frac{1}{F_{N+2}} + \cdots [/math]

But
[math] \frac{1}{F_{N+1}} = \frac{1}{\phi F_N} [/math]
and....
[math] \frac{1}{F_{N+2}} = \frac{1}{\phi^2 F_N} [/math]
and...
[math] \frac{1}{F_{N+m}} = \frac{1}{\phi^m F_N} [/math].

So....
[math] \sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{F_n} \approx \sum\limits_{n=1}^{N} \frac{1}{F_n} + \sum\limits_{m = N+1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{\phi^m F_N} = \sum\limits_{n=1}^{N} \frac{1}{F_n} + \frac{1}{F_N} \sum\limits_{m = N+1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{\phi^m} > \infty [/math]

because iff you find the minimum of a monotonic (non-decreasing) function, you know that it is also the minimum of that function squared or cubed or etc.

so if you find out when X^2 is minimal, you also know when X is minimal. You just have to prove X increases monotonically over its domain.

[Anonymous No.10826057]

>>10825691
An antibody is a thing your body produces to attack foreign (usually) materials. They're part of the adaptive immune system. An antigen is the thing that gets attacked by an antibody. Think of it as antigen = thing that generates an antibody response. Antigens can be pretty much anything, but some common ones include surface proteins on bacterial cells and allergens.

In ABO blood grouping, antigens are surface proteins on red blood cells. They happen to be similar to the surface proteins on common gut bacteria. Your immune system is used to the ones on your RBCs, so it doesn't produce antibodies. But it does produce antibodies to the gut bacteria with surface antigens similar to the ones on other blood types. That's why you get an immediate reaction if you give blood of the incorrect type to someone -- your body essentially mistakes them for bacteria. There are two types of antigens in the ABO system, A and B. A person with type A blood has A antigens on their red blood cells and makes antibodies for B antigens, a person with type B blood has type B antigens and makes antibodies for A antigens, and a person with AB blood has both antigens on their RBCs and makes no AB antibodies. A person with type O blood has no AB antigens on their RBCs and makes antibodies for A and B antigens. That's why O is the universal donor (no AB antigens) and AB is the universal recipient (no AB antibodies).

[Anonymous No.10826070]

>>10825691
>>10826057
To clarify, the antigens don't make antibodies. The immune system (specifically B-cells) make antibodies in response to antigens. Macrophages and dendritic cells wander around the body picking up antigens and taking them back to the lymph nodes, where they present them to B-cells. If the antigen activates the B-cell, it will produce antibodies against that antigen.

Radio waves are electromagnetic radiation, just like visible light. They're made of alternating electric and magnetic fields. They have no mass, but they do have energy. On a fundamental level mass and energy are equivalent, but antennas do not lose mass. The oscillating electrons in the antenna induce electric and magnetic fields, which takes energy.

What is the most efficient way to check whether two grids are a 2D permutation of eachother?
By 2D permutation I mean you can swap rows with eachother and you can also swap columns with eachother.

This is an example of two grids that are a 2D permutation of eachother:

1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

2 3 1
8 9 7
5 6 4

I do have something in mind, but I'm not sure if it's the most efficient way.

>>10827128

start comparing them:
>123 =/= 231
move on to the next
>231 = 231
>564 = 564
>897 = 897
it's a match

skipping the sort might help the worst case time complexity (not sure), but it will probably help the average case on large grids. also you could do a binary search on the first row so you don't waste your time comparing 12345678, 12345679 etc if you're looking for 91234567

sounds good but could get messy if you have a lot of duplicate elements

[Anonymous No.10827261]

another idea is that you could find the row with the lowest value in the second grid (231), and then in the first grid you go through each column and find the lowest starting digit e.g. 123 doesn't match so you can skip that permutation, then the next column has the lowest digit 2 which gives the rows 213 and 231, 213 doesn't match but 231 matches, then you can proceed to check the remaining rows of the 231 permutation

It still sounds like you want to generate all permutations first. That is in O(n!) and is not even feasible for say a 15x15 grid.

I think the method I had in mind is more efficient.
I'll explain my method with a different example:

8 8 3 4
7 2 2 5
3 6 3 5
9 8 1 6

List each sorted row:
[3488, 2257, 3356, 1689]
Now sort this list:
[1689, 2257, 3356, 3488]

List each sorted column:
[3789, 2688, 1233, 4556]
Now sort this list:
[1233, 2688, 3789, 4556]

So now we have A = ([1689, 2257, 3356, 3488], [1233, 2688, 3789, 4556])
Do the exact same thing to the other grid to calculate B.
And then just check if A == B.

ok but how about you sort the second grid by rows so in the first example you know 231 is the lowest
then you check each column in the first grid and look for a 2
in the first column you find a 1 which is lower than 2 so you skip to the next column
in the second column you find a 2, now you're looking for a 3 in the same row and then a 1
then check the remaining rows using the same column permutation

>but let's say the row you just checked is 555155 for example

If your number is 5 or 6, it can’t come up on the 4 die. So it all depends on the 6 sided one. That gives you 1/6 chance of that happening.

If your number is 1-4, it can show up on both of them. Either it shows up on the 4-sided die and not the 6, chances being 1/4 x 5/6, or it shows up on the 6-sided die and not the 4, chances are 1/6 x 3/4, or it shows up on both, with a probability of 1/6 x 1/4.

\begin{pmatrix}1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 3 & -5 & 1 \\ \end{pmatrix} \cdot \begin{pmatrix}1 & -2 & 1 & 1 \\ 2 & -1 & 1 & -1 \\ 7 & 1 & 2 & -8 \\ \end{pmatrix} \cdot . \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 & -1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 & 2 \\ 0 & 0 & 3 & 3 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \\ \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & -2 & 0 & 0 \\ 2 & -1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ \end{pmatrix}

Draw a 4x6 grid of all possible outcomes. Each of the 24 squares is equally likely. So for 1-4 it's 5/24+3/24+1/24=9/24, or alternatively 1/4+1/6-1/24=6/24+4/24-1/24=9/24. The former adds 3 disjoint cases (your number comes up on the d4 only, the d6 only, or on both), the latter adds 2 overlapping cases (your number comes up on the d4 or on the d6) then subtracts 1 for the case which was counted twice (your number comes up on both).

The latter is an example of the "inclusion-exclusion principle": |A∪B|=|A|+|B|-|A∩B|, which can be extended to any number of sets by applying that rule recursively. As the number of sets grows, its usually easier to count intersections of 2,3,4,... sets with alternating signs than to count the 2^n-1 disjoint sets formed by the intersections of n sets.

Thank you for your thorough answer mate.
I am a bit retarded though.
So, the image of the map is 2 dimensional, and the space (α,β,γ) can exist is 2 dimensional as well.
DO we then proceed to find their common points and find out that they are the same space?

I don't understand what happens from

Oh wait, (a,b,c) is a random point of the 2D image,
Therefore the 2D plane 3α-5β+γ=0 has to describe the entire image, since more restrictions would result in a <2D image.

is there a clever way i can fit an (orange) polynomial to this blue curve
this is a 60 degree polynomial in orange here
as u can see it gets the shape kinda, but not the peaks
how should i process my blue data, or should i sample the blue data in some way?
or should i try some other function to fit, some combination of sines and exponentials or what

i essentially want to overfit here, so if anyone knows with a function with parameters that fit any data, that would be perfect

No, but science can only work within epistemic limits, and thus can't be ruled out.
Hopefully there is, but you'll never actually know unless there is something other than non-existence.

When we make genetically engineered catgirls, are the cat ears going to be actual ears that can hear, or just flaps of skin?

If they're just flaps of skin, are they going to also have regualr human ears?

If they're actual hearing ears, how are we going to solve the technical challenge of ear canals going straight into the skull?

Cats don't have this problem because their brains are tiny but presumably catgirls would be as smart as humans (otherwise no point in fucking them). So if real ear canals are going to come down from the cat ears, that's going to be a very tricky engineering issue.

I don't know if I have enough background to credit, discredit, or offer sufficient justification for this. But why do we use quadratures to explain rotations, when 3-phase coordinates would suffice? In terms of natural numbers -
>inb4 "natural" isn't meant to be literal
In terms of natural numbers, isn't the complex plane technically 4-dimensional, with two pairs of degenerate axis (one "+" and the other "-")? Wouldn't that cause some problems in complex computations, especially where the origin is a pole?
Woud it be possible, or impossible, to express phasors in 3-phase terms, with one real and two imaginary axes, with the condition that no axis goes into the negative range?

I was taught that in order for you to be able to do u-substitution in integration, the derivative of the function being integrated must be somewhere within the integral itself

how then, is he allowed to just insert an e^u into the integral if it wasn't there to begin with?

Yeah, [math]x=e^u=e^{ln\left(x\right)}=x[/math], and yeah [math]\frac{d}{dx}\left(e^u\right)=e^u[/math], I just don't see how it works if the derivative of ln(x) is 1/x

Well, consider [math]u = \text{ln}(x) \Rightarrow du = \frac{dx}{x}[/math] and [math]dx = e^u du[/math]. Inserting [math]u = \text{ln}(x)[/math] into the second one gives \frac{dx}{x} = u, while [math]x = e^u[/math] in the first gives [math]dx = e^u du[/math], so they are inverses, it just hidden a little bit.
