  1. What a ridiculous way to live. Never improving yourself. Never correcting misconceptions. Never learning. Just static and still and stupid. What a ridiculous way to live.

  2. Not to mention arrogant, although I guess you covered that.

  3. In reference to the following article and paper at https://phys.org/news/2019-05-rare-earth-metals-atmosphere-glowing-hot-exoplanet.html and the paper at https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.02096v1 With regard to the extract in the article thus, "Therefore, its atmosphere reaches temperatures of around 4000 °C. In such heat, all elements are almost completely vaporized and molecules are broken apart into their constituent atoms" I find it rather difficult to imagine how any planet could form that close to its parent star and at such temperatures. Is this evidence for "planetary migration"? I also vaguely remember a proposition a few years ago, supporting the "planetary migration" hypothesis with our own gaseous giants, Jupiter and Saturn...something along the lines of probably forming much further out then their current orbital parameters, migrating inwards, then back again to their now apparent stable orbits. Any thoughts?

  4. None of this addresses my point which was, to establish any sort link you need to analyse most, if not all, the seismic events wihtin that timeslot and compare how many exhibited this characteristic and how many did not and then compare this distribution with a random variable.

  6. You would need to more rigorously define the conditions under which you think energy can appear. Conservation of energy is tied in with time-translation symmetry.

  7. Both can happen. For example, the photons we receive from distant galaxies are red shifted (lower energy). Energy is only conserved within a single frame of reference. So on cosmological scales it doesn’t necessarily apply.

  8. Free software such as BitTorrent is available to reduce server load. It's (I think) only useful if several users are downloading the same file(s) simultaneously.

  9. There is a bit of a bug in the software so equation are only displayed after the page is refreshed. No shame in working out something already known - especially if you are doing it in a new way

  10. Well turns out it's just regular binomial expansion in disguise. But...if you only saw how I derived that from Chinese Remainder Theorem, by placing the solution sets to systems of congruences into rank-n tensors, you'd see that formula, and binomial expansion itself, in a completely different way for the rest of your life. On one hand it's embarrassing, because I should have seen immediately that I simply resulted with an equation whose determinates were all altered by (-2); yet, had you gone through what I did to get that formula, it's just not something that would have occurred to you immediately. There is so much more here than what meets the eye (or perhaps there isn't). I only only wish I could walk you all through how I obtained that formula.

  11. OK, good question...If it did I would say it would be classified as a sub Brown Dwarf? Just a guess though on my part, someone more attuned to these classifications from rocky planet to gaseous planet, to brown dwarf to star may shed more light. Actually your previous post re deuterium fusion in Jupiter is something I have not heard of.

  12. I understand that but would extreme proximiy to it's parent star cause a Jupiter mass object to undergo fusion?

  13. Planetary migration is, by now, pretty well established. This applies, as you suggest, to the movement of the gas/ice giants in our system. (IIRC one giant was likely expelled from the early system.) I have several papers on the subject and will look for the most recent/relevant and post links, likely tomorrow.

  14. I think studiot was referring to ecstaticdancer sending us to his Youtube page instead of answering the question.

  15. Now why would I post it here only mattering to me when it's already jotted down in my mind? People, better yet nobody in this world sways my decisions about anything. In what they say or say they feel.
