So. What I'm thinking about using as a plot device for a /sci/ intense and /sci/ driven plotline is a computer attack that an Amperage moderator, actuated by a semiconductor circuit, was inhibited/disabled/destroyed by a malware attack from either the equipment's internet integration or within the most recent firmware update by a hostile foreign party against a fighter plane's internal fly-by-wire electronics.

This loss of amperage moderation caused, upon reboot, the timing Resistance-Capacitance circuit to lose their capacitors due to electrical breakdown, making the circuit's timing, therefore the circuit itself, useless. And the circuit has no override and is critical for the equipment, making the plane unfliable.v

Any and all plot related issues will be fixed or built upon. But from /sci/\/g/ perspective, does this work?

Pic not related. Is a thank-you for help.

I am no EE, but it sounds decent to me. But I thought voltage spikes were more dangerous to most setups as the large potential can make the power surge in unpredictable ways (i.e. jump to place it shouldn't be) and the smaller more integrated circuits only need a small fraction of an amp to fry which is why newer stuff is so EM sensitive. The smaller the transistor the faster and more efficient, but the less it takes to fry.

There are lots of ways to break hardware with software, despite all the modern safeguards. What is the goal of this breakdown? And what is the setting?

On a cool side note, I knew one of the electrical material engineers that got called in for the US mass ICBM failure, and he helped save the day. Apparently running the ICBMs on high alert standby for years wore out some of the capacitors, which lead to many circuit failures in the ICBMs. When a good chunk of your nuclear arsenal suddenly stops working you can understand why the Pentagon secretly panicked during the cold war.

Something as simple as using the same batch of capacitors beyond their life expectancy nearly triggered WWIII. With some new capacitors they quickly fixed the ICBMs once they figured out what caused the mass shutdown. There was a near two week window when nearly half the ICBMs didn't work, plenty of time for something interesting to happen (thankfully nothing really did).

I have a thesis
would this work?
"We chop off
the back end of a coupe
everything after the rear window (that we can)
so basically the entire trunk section
it would decrease weight significantly
add aerodynamics
through these things
handling, speed, and quickness are improved

is it possible to move the gas canister closer so we can chop off more of the back end all the way to the rear wheel?
by doing this we could create the ultimate track car

i am using my car, a BA4 Prelude as visual aid"

would it not decrease weight, improve aerodynamics, improve chassis rigidity through the virtue of no longer having a space devoted to storage that opens (that back would be a solid un openable back end of a car)

these things would improve speed, acceleration, and handling would they not?

we would end our cut right where the original stock bar for the beginning of the truck exists, and then reinforce and build down

"picture the CRX back on a honda prelude, only it does not open into any compartment, it is just a back. surely by the virture of the stock horizontal bar and also not needing to open it is more rigid

the car's weight is more on the front now too, but this is only phase 1, there is more we can do to the prelude
we have lost a lot of weight and unnecessary space on this prelude by doing this
people make carbon fiber trunk tops
fuck that thats stupid"

>When they were born and evolved the first supermassive black holes in the universe?

Astronomers from Tel Aviv University (TAU) identified when there was the cosmic era of the first black holes of rapid growth in the history of the universe.
In general, the galaxies in the universe, including the Milky Way, host supermassive black holes, ranging in mass from one million to 10 billion times the mass of our sun. To find them, astronomers look for huge amounts of radiation emitted for gas during the periods in which the black holes remain "active". Scientists think that is the gas that falls into the supermassive black holes the main responsibility for effective growth.

>The older, faster supermassive black holes grow
The team found that the first black holes, the seed that started the entire growth process when the universe was only 100 million years old, had masses of only 100-1000 times that of the sun. Such black holes may be related to the first stars Universe. The researchers also found that the subsequent era of rapid growth that began after the first 1.2 billion years, lasted only about 100 to 200 million years.

This new study is the culmination of a seven-year project at Tel Aviv University (TAU) designed to monitor the evolution of supermassive black holes and compare them with the evolution of galaxies in which such objects reside.

Some basic questions to phy/sci/sists:

What are the smallest minimum dimensions of a black hole? Specifically radius and mass. Feel free to give multiple models of these if they exist (Hawking vs. Thorne vs. others)

Is there any sort of maximum on these dimensions, for a black hole?

What's the deal with spinning vs. not-spinning? How can a body not have some "spin" going on?

Has a black hole ever been photographed, or has a real photograph/movie of any region of space illustrated the presence of a black hole?

What are the smallest and largest "known" black holes?
>>
Due to expansion the earlier in the universe a black hole forms, the more matter it can bring into itself and can become larger much more quickly.

>the speed of light is independent of the movement of the light source and/or the inertial frame of reference of the observer

This is the most counterintuitive thing to me. Obviously I accept it as true and I can kind of wrap my head around it, but it still just bothers the fuck out of me.

Picture the Dopplereffect. Even on a moving source the first wave front won't arrive faster at the destination, but it will cause the wave fronts to become shorter/wider depending on your view causing a blue or red shit.

From the perspective of the light source of course no shift at all happens
>>
>>7746060
Well, I see what you mean, but it doesn't really help. I get how the doppler effect applies to both sound waves (an ambulance driving past) and light (blue or red shift). But doppler effect is wavelength, not speed.

For example, your gif is showing doppler effect of sound waves propagated by the car, and unlike light, sound waves are not independent of movement of the source or the observer. This is show in your gif by how the sound wave arriving at the right hand side arrive fast when the car is standing still, and slower once the car starts moving away to the right (so for an observer standing at the right hand side of the gif the sound waves would be arriving slightly slower than the standard speed of sound through air.

I guess this is what I'm trying to get at. You can make a gif represent sound waves, or waves in water, but it would be impossible to create a gif of how light waves work. Even though I get the concept on paper or in an abstract sense, I can't visualize it or create a visual or metaphorical representation.

I get that this doesn't matter, and that in a way there is nothing to get, but still...

I mean some people just seem like vessels for propagation of memes, it seems like they have never in their life stopped to reflect on what they are doing or why they are doing it, which stands to reason that they may be completely self unaware.

Has there ever been a study which attempts to measure varying levels of self awareness, rather than just being a thing that you either have or don't have?

Research in to AI seems to suggest that self awareness is not necessary in order to pass as human.
