If a black hole is a singularity, how can we have large and small black holes? You can't have an infinitely small and massive object that is larger than another infinitely small and massive object

has a good explanation. Basically, black holes aren't singularities throughout, but they have a singularity at the center.

Singularities are infinitely dense, not infinitely massive

To all the physics and math fags here, how does it feel when CompSci was supposed to be the inferior field but the jobs it offers usually have higher salary?
Even the lowest tier of CompSci, i.e. coding monkeys, make more money than you.
>inb4 a physics/math majors can easily learn to write better codes than a monkey
It's not even remotely true, codes written by math/physics fags are the worst, most unreadable shit.
Even if it is true, then you implicitly admit that CompSci makes more money than Math and Physics (even though it's easier).

>>8568555
True; however, money is still a strong indicator of how importance a field is.
>>
>>8568555
Butthurt mathfags justify their uselessness by resorting to "education is not about making money" strawman

so let me get this straight. If the graviton is real, then it is a ripple in the gravitational field.

However, if the graviton and supersymmetry are both real, there's a gravitino that is a ripple in the gravitino field.

If the gravitational field is spacetime, then what is the gravitino field?

I finally stole someone's black leather gloves. I always wanted to put stranger's gloves over my mouth and pretend that I'm getting kidnapped by some stranger... Turns me on very much
>>
>>8579722
In supergravity, the gauge field for graviton is the vielbien (the "square root" of the metric tensor). The field for the gravitino is then a spinor field with a # of propagating fermionic degrees of freedom to match the # of propagating bosonic degrees of freedom of the graviton. The fields are related via local supersymmetry transformations.

For example, why does associating terms with a story help memory?

Pic unrelated

>>8579548
Evolution didn't really prepare us to memorize dry facts, numbers and whatever. Our memories are not made to store that kind of information. Our memories are meant to store only relevant stuff on very high abstraction levels. And those relevant things are not things we read, but things we actually experience and what we felt at the time (basically, data and labels). Our brains are basically constantly trying to figure out what the best decisions are in any situations and our memories are some kind of buffer for data collection. We usually only store shit that's either obviously relevant (the face of your angry mother shouting at you, some guy pointing a gun at you on the street), or things that deviate from the usual state, even if more or less unrelated to the experience (The slightly unusual way your gf parked her car before she broke up with you, that weird smell in the air when your brother told you he's going to marry his wife) etc. Those things are then used by the brain to figure shit out, sometimes we know, sometimes we don't, which is sometimes referred to as intuition.

Associating bare information with a story basically tricks our memories into fitting the information into a framework that's more suitable for us. If we do that, the brain's capacities are enormous.

>The speed of light in vacuum, commonly denoted c, is a universal physical constant important in many areas of physics. Its exact value is 299792458metres per second (approximately 3.00×108m/s, approximately 186,282mi/s

>The metre is defined as the distance travelled by light in a vacuum in 1/299792458 seconds.

so how do we know it’s a constant?

>>8579204
We measured it over and over in all kinds of places and it was the same. We don't know of course. But it's pretty likely.
>>
Consider the consequences if it were not constant.
>>
The speed of light you posted is a defined value. We literally say it is equal to that value. Then we define all other units in terms of c.

It's kinda weird and recursive, but it makes sense and helps us get rid of physical dependence on measurements. For example, the kilogramme used to be based on a physical mass. The problem is that this isn't stable enough.

I was wondering is there a gene that specifically determines/regulates the storage of white fat ? If so would it theoretically be possible to modify/mutate
that gene so that all the consumed caloric energy is used for all other cells (muscle,organs,brown fat cells etc.) other than the white fat cells ?

I'm having problems with two simple questions on the end of my module.

Calculate the pH of a 2.3 x 10^-2M [h30+] HCI solution

and in the reaction below, which element is being oxidized?
3Br(subscript 2) +2 Ga -> 2 GaBr(subscript 3)

The second question I believe is Gallium.
>>
>>8578936

huh, i thought it was bromine. Thanks though.

help with the first one? anyone? please?
>>
>>8578942
You can't oxidize bromine, it's an electrophile, it's like trying to oxidize oxygen or something

The gallium loses electrons that's oxidation

By your analogy that would cause a net loss of energy which is the exact opposite of a fission reaction
>>
>>8578838
fission reactions go 235 broken to 238. the heavier flywheel is less energetic, and the energy is released as photons. analogy holds.
>>
>>8578844
Uranium-235 breaks into smaller neclei and a bunch of neutrons, there's no 238

Even if we take your analogy it doesn't make sense with fusion

Let's say I have a box, where all 4 sides, the ceiling, and the floor are perfect mirrors. In the floor of the box, there is a trap door (also a perfect mirror) that closes at just under c. I stick a lightbulb through the door, let it shine for a while, and then at just under c pull the lightbulb out and close the door (so very few photons escape.) Is the inside of the box still lit? If not, what happened to the photons?

Mirrors absorb some light. In fact, if you put a mirror in front of another and look at the image created several layers deep, you'll see a green hue. Eventually it dissipates and goes into heating the mirrors. However, mirrors also emit light in the infrared, so yeah, there will still be photons. Poke a hole in the side and you've made a blackbody.
>>
>>8578186
as long as you have a perfect mirror the light will stay stored inside.
>>
Since OP is brainlet, I have a better question. If we put an old-school 100W lightbulb in a box of mirrors 1m cubic, how strong would be the enlightment inside the box after 10 minutes?
You can ignore the light absorbtion of mirrors and lightbulb.
