Better yet, why not put the rocket engines on platforms that carry the vehicle into space, like a real elevator. Better yet, why not just put the rocket engines on the vehicle? Boom, practical space elevator.

thanks retard you are the kind of retarded ugly nerd that makes sci so terrible

for the lower altitude engines, electricity could be used to power fans

the problem with not just making an elevator very long now is: even though centrifugal force can keep a station up, there is nothing strong enough to hold itself together up to such vast heights?

would the price of fueling such an elevator render flights to geosynchronous orbit unpractical? because with my design the height is unlimited...

there probably isnt nearly enough demand to warrant a project like this, but if one was trying to construct, say, an interstellar ship...

>>9107871
actually, why not just use high pressure air pumped from the ground to keep it up? no need for rockets at all

>>9107865
do you even trigonometry?

We are not here to do your homework.

hint: you do have enough information

>>9107868
yes I trigonometry

by this logic i do this (pic related)
angle b should be approximately 63.66
so if i do simple triangle math
180o - 35o - 63.66 = 81.34o for the top left angle

therefore, I SHOULD be able to use fucking Law of Cosines to find the answer, BUT MY ANSWER ISNT WHAT THE BOOK FUCKING HAS?!

c^2=25^2+16^2-2(25)(16)(cos(81.34))
c^2=760.54
c=27.57

BUT AS YOU SEE, THATS NOT WHAT THE BOOK HAS

the book has 39N, whereas my calculation is 27

what the FUCK

>>9107865
The book answer is wrong

Determines != Predicts

You can generate probabilities based off of distributions but that is it

You're a tail ender for any race

Amount of ways an event can occur / Amount of possible events

The theoretical frequency of outcomes that will satisfy the considered event when the experiment is repeated infinitely many times (as a Cesaro mean).

What's the probability of hitting the exact center of a dartboard with a 1-dimensional dart in continuous 3-d space?

Not to worry, you would have never amounted to anything anyway.

What do you even mean. In statistis, random variable is a variable someone cannot predict.

What does random mean if not unpredictable?

I suggest using COMSOL multiphysics if you have acces to it. It has a moving mesh option allowing for objects to move. Requires some time to figure out how to do it out though.

>>9107476
>COMSOL multiphysics
sounds like exactly what I need, thanks anon

>>9107443
Just model the system in matlab/mathmatica/python/r and graph the output.

If you can't write it yourself then I have bad news for you. ..

You don't.

Heard this long time ago, but really how? We already have deformation of space-time in special relativity and there's no way around that.

So far as I can tell, it was Weyl and not Einstein who pushed this interpretation.

"But one must not legalize the mentioned sin so far as to imagine that intervals are physical entities of a special type, essentially different from other physical variables (“reducing physics to geometry”, etc.)."

It just looks like a crutch that intuitively separates the form of gravitation from any other field theory.

>>9107248

Relativity is based on measurements of time and distance. Local measurements are affected by the finite and (locally) constant speed of light. This is mathematically modeled on a psuedoreimannian manifold, but it's lazy to interpret that as space itself being a psuedoreimannian manifold. Physical momentum is not literally a differential operator.

There is no reason to say space is anything more than the aggregate of our possible measurements/coordinate systems, because there is no other physical measurement that can define space. At least that's how my book puts it

>geniuses only

0% of people can solve this because there is not enough information to solve a 3 variable system with a single equation. I'm sure there is a meme answer though.

dumb things I did or said in the past and cringe or twitch my face in shame.

No never, don't have a mind's eye so can't daydream either.

I dunno if I can explain this well, but I like to mentally grow things outward. Like, looking at a tree and imagining it with more branches and flowers. Or looking at a skyscraper and growing it several levels and adding all the support structures needed and stuff

i tried once and it felt very weird but relaxing, i haven't done it since though
