Birch Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture is essentially the bridge between the analytic theory and the algebro-geometric theory of elliptic curves. It's been extremely useful for predicting behaviour in these areas of study, yielding results that would have been otherwise difficult to suggest.

The Riemann hypothesis is the key to understanding the behaviour of primes but as far as I know the more interesting question is the generalized Riemann hypothesis, which gives well, more information about how primes behave.

Essentially anyone working in number theory takes the above two for granted when doing research.

The Hodge conjecture would probably take a semester to explain depending on background

Yang-Mills is the one they threw in so the physicists could be happy

P=NP same deal but for CS majors

Navier-Stokes was put in for the feminists since physics is sexist for being rigid and not fluid enough

Hypothetically speaking, let's assume you had some kind of g-diffuser, that completely disengaged the pull of gravity around a perimeter. Let's say you had a spaceship.

Since there's no longer any drag on you, wouldn't you be able to accrue speed until you reached lightspeed and time-traveled without any further quibbling with the laws of physics?

My logic is assuming that since space is a vaccuum, that there won't be anything to slow the thrust of your ship once it's started moving thanks to Newton's third law.

Wait, does this g-diffuser negate the effect of outside gravity on all objects within the effected area. Or does it negate all gravity in the effected area including gravity caused by objects within the area?

OP here, I mean Newton's First Law.

I was just baiting.

I never understood the hate directed towards evolution (at least scientifically), especially considering films like The Core, 2012, and iOrigins exist. I understand that a certain amount of will suspension needs to take place, but both of those were obnoxioulsly bad. I suppose it's the same with Lucy, everyone jumped on the "hurr using 10% of ur brain is myth", as if science fiction was meant to be an accurate reflection of reality.
>>
>>8090150
2012 is infinitely more believable that Evolution

Just reached the bit where the idiot sings in the shopping mall an supports the dragon

1/2 = 0.5
1/0.0002 = 5000
1/0.00000000002 = 50000000000
etc

It's obvious what's happening here; as the divisor becomes smaller and approaches zero, the answer grows larger and approaches infinity. Why isn't the answer to x/0 defined as infinity and the answer to 0/0 defined as zero?

nice bait

Try approaching from the other side of 0 and you'll get -infinity. Also try taking calc 1, that should clear this up.

When the numerator becomes small and approaches zero and the denominator does the same, the division can be anything, depending on how fast the numerator goes to zero relative to the denominator. It could be 0 or 7 or infinity or not converge.

What's the number N(n) of directed circle graphs with n verties (a,b,c,d,...) and edges (f,g,h,...)?

For the first two, it's simple to check the number is two:

N(2) = 2

1) Either, say
f : a -> b
g : b -> a

2) or, say
f : a -> b
g : a -> b

N(3)=2

1) The graph where all arrows go in one direction, say
h : c -> a
f : a -> b
g : b -> c

2) The graph where one of the arrows point in another direction, say
h : c -> a
f : a -> b
g : c -> b
so that both f and g point at b.
A short thinking makes clear that a graph where no two arrows point in the same direction isn't possible.

(Bonus: What I tried to find out, in algebra, is if there is a limit that has both pullback and equalizer as special case. I found pic related, which equals the equalizer if h is an isomorphism, but as far as I see there's no condition on h which makes this into the pullback)

Isn't an equalizer already the special case of a pullback when the two arrows have the same source?

On that note, I have a somewhat stupid question (probably too obscure for /sqt/ though):
According to
https://qchu.wordpress.com/2012/09/29/monomorphisms-and-epimorphisms/
the natural map (m: d --> e in OP's example) is stated to always be a monomorphism, meaning that the pullback is a subobject of the product. Intuitively I can see why, but I can't seem to formally prove it from the definition of monomorphism.
In fact by using uniqeness of the universal map I get that mx = my for any two x,y. What am I doing wrong?
>>
>>8091282
d is not the product here


this is what I know:
when 1 exists,
-the product of 2 objects is the pullback of their unique arrow towards 1
-given two arrows f, g, with same domain, codomain, the equalizer [f, 1_f] and [g, 1_f=1_g] is the pullback of f by g


-if the pullback of two arrows f, g exists, then if f is monic, then g*(f) is monic
this is false when you replace monic by epic

the kernel pair of an arrow f is the pullback of f by itself
-if the kernel pair of f exists, then the projection arrows are epic

f is monic
iff
-its kernel pair exists and it is (dom f, 1_f, 1_f)
iff
its kernel pair exists and the projections are equal

I don't know about stats, but I majored in math and my undergrad advisor literally told me I wasn't good enough to go a good grad school. I had all A's and B's (except for a bio class) and did a decent course load including grad level classes in measure theory and algebraic topology.

The CEO-Emperor of Mars Elon Musk has conscripted you employee-citizen of Mars to design a probe for exploring the oceans of Uranus.

What's that employee? Uranus does not have an ocean? Stupid employee! Don't you know that Uranus has a layer of liquid hydrogen and liquid ices starting at around 7,500 km deep?

His Muskiness wants a probe that can operate at temperatures exceeding 3000 K and pressures in 0.1 Megabar range. The probe must be able to take pictures and transmit back science for a month. Funds are almost unlimited, but probe must mass less than 1.5 metric tons. So you can make the whole thing out of solid diamond if need be.


Now get to work employee, refusing to comply with the emperor's decrees are grounds for termination!
