How do you prove conservation of angular momentum via Hamiltonian Mechanics?

I managed to figure out linear momentum with some velocity. I can't imagine angular momentum is much different, but I'm not quite sure how to show a rotational variance.

The proof should be virtually identical with the slight caveat that when working with angular momentum you have a cross product but just recognizing that the time derivative of position and the tangential momentum are parallel so that term is zero, what you're left with is the positions crossed with the time derivative of the tangential velocity. you should be able to finish it from here with the same arguments as for the linear momentum proof.

From my work last week, I can't seem to remember why dH/dq, or rather the sum of those, is 0. From there you can obviously relate to the canonical equations and get the result, but why is dH/dq when q --> q + dq equal to 0?

Is determinism more plausable than free will?
Considering our thoughts are controlled by neurochemistry, and as with all chemistry it follows a certain set of rules, isn't free will impossible?

You're missing the blatantly obvious fact that free will exists.

Oh boy what a shitpost, let's see if we can salvage anything.

Does anyone else agree that completely modifying your personality after you've been born is a complete lie? To do that you'd have to change your DNA code and your brain.

It's better if we just judge people as degenerates and psychopaths that will never escape their archetypes and then kill them so they can never breed.

It's also good if we apply eugenics by breeding and killing 15/16 children per couple so we promote natural selection in a quicker pace and a more hands-on approach.

I guess if you're determined enough you can manage to be say, a Mechanical Engineer who's knowledgable in Coding or Comp-Sci. But I'm talking about being /fit/, reading books en-masse, painting, knowing how to fight, having a fashion sense, having knowledge of politics and the markets, etc, etc.

Is it possible nowadays, where we have more information than we can proccess?

>being /fit/
>reading books en-masse
>having knowledge of politics and markets
2 and 3 can be done together, and being /fit/ does take you some years if you want to be natty.

And again OP, listen to first post as well, you cannot be something like Neumann these days, neither you can master a single formal or natural science like math or physics.
Last time someone mastered mathematics was David Hilbert, and then it stopped because of him and other developments that made mathematics so broad.

we're not sure yet, it hasn't been tested experimentally, though I don't know why since it seems like it would be easy to test. Couldn't you just record the momentum of electrons and positrons coming into the planet near the equator and see if positrons particles have a lower average momentum?

That´s not an argument, you double-nigger. Look at guys like Nietzsche, arguably one of the smartest men of his century. He kicked nihilism so hard in the balls, edgy fedoras all over the world still get triggered by his writings.
Johann Neumann maybe was the most brilliant polymath of all times, but that doesn´t mean he defeated nihilism. He defeated math problems.
See the difference?

Sure it is, having anxiety is just another biological function of humans which can be overcome. I know because I have.


You need to spent less time alone and more working on a project and being a bit more social. Create routines and boundaries to keep chaos away from you, stay healthy so you have less reasons to feel like crap.


Maybe check your hormonal profile, for some reason Testosterone got rid of my existential anxiety and mini-panic attacks 24/7. In the end, it is all a game of letting go and embracing what you fear, it's the only way to make a choice in the chaos of uncertainty, you won't learn what you want, but least you won't feel like you are not in control anymore.

>In 1972, a French factory imported uranium ore from Oklo, in Africa’s Gabon Republic. The uranium had already been extracted. They found the site of origin to have apparently functioned as a large-scale nuclear reactor that came into being 1.8 billion years ago and was in operation for some 500,000 years.

>Dr. Glenn T. Seaborg, former head of the United States Atomic Energy Commission and Nobel Prize winner for his work in the synthesis of heavy elements, explained why he believes it wasn’t a natural phenomenon, and thus must be a man-made nuclear reactor. For uranium to “burn” in a reaction, very precise conditions are needed.

>The water must be extremely pure, for one. Much purer than exists naturally. The material U-235 is necessary for nuclear fission to occur. It is one of the isotopes found naturally in uranium. Several specialists in reactor engineering have said they believe the uranium in Oklo could not have been rich enough in U-235 for a reaction to take place naturally.

Did Seaborg actually think it was artificial? I can't find a credible/primary source.

I heard of these years ago but I always just accepted that they were natural phenomena.

I'd never heard anyone characterize them as an out-of-place-artifact.

I tried to track down Seaborg's original quote but my googlefu is too weak. I just kept finding more woo woo sites circle jerking the same unsourced claim.
>>
>>9096436
>Did Seaborg actually think it was artificial?
No, it's a fake quote. You don't need pure water for water to be a neutron moderator. Heavy water is actually used in some nuclear reactors. Seaborg would have known this.

> The material U-235 is necessary for nuclear fission to occur. It is one of the isotopes found naturally in uranium. Several specialists in reactor engineering have said they believe the uranium in Oklo could not have been rich enough in U-235 for a reaction to take place naturally.
Based on what? It currently isn't, but it was at very high levels 2 billion years ago. About the same concentration as manmade reactors.
