How could pic related be possible?

Not an encased dome, but something that would heat up your lawn when it's freezing.

Imagine if the average house had one of those things - where when it's cold outside, you can step out in your lawn wearing shorts and a t-shirt.


Perhaps you could erect multiple poles out on the lawn, and then stretch out this thing that would heat your lawn.


Why couldn't this be a mass produced thing?

all I see is a drawn mockup of something that would require either ridiculous amounts of energy to keep warm or some sort of unobtanium which isolates just as good as house wall while being transparent and thin

If one were to pick a random integer between 0 and infinity, wouldn't the chance of picking an integer less than infinity be zero?
58 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
Infinity is not an integer
>>
The chance of picking infinity would be (approach) zero. But the chance of picking any other one specific integer (such as zero itself) would also be (approach) zero.
>>
>>7701268
Infinity isn't a number.. Even when working with extended reals, when speaking of probability measures, and consequently probability measures, the set where a RV takes on the value + infinity or -infinity has measure 0...

Also, see Kai Lai Chung's book on measure theoretic probability.. Picking a random integer doesn't quite make sense in the case to which you're referring.. I'm assuming you want all integers to be equally likely. There's no uniform distribution for infinite discrete sets.

Can we have a thread about NASA failures and the toxic culture that precipitated them?

I was reading up on the Columbia disaster last night and I can't believe no one went to jail over this.

>Space shuttle Columbia takes off
>piece of foam insulation breaks off and damages the left wing
>NASA analysts insist the damage is nothing serious
>mission proceeds
>evidence from computer modelling shows that it might be quite serious
>NASA ignores the data
>DOD offers to photograph the shuttle in space so the crew can assess the damage and consider the prospect of repair
>NASA blocks the DOD from intervening, reasoning that there's nothing the crew can do about it
>NASA bureaucrats led by Linda Ham (who was later dismissed) decide that they're all dead anyway and it would be better not to let them know it
>Quote: You know, there is nothing we can do about damage to the TPS [Thermal Protection System]. If it has been damaged it's probably better not to know. I think the crew would rather not know. Don't you think it would be better for them to have a happy successful flight and die unexpectedly during entry than to stay on orbit, knowing that there was nothing to be done, until the air ran out?
>meanwhile NASA ground control sends the following message up to the crew before they begin reentry:
>During ascent at approximately 80 seconds, photo analysis shows that some debris came loose and subsequently impacted the orbiter left wing. The impact appears to be totally on the lower surface and no particles are seen to traverse over the upper surface of the wing. Experts have reviewed the high speed photography and there is no concern for RCC or tile damage. We have seen this same phenomenon on several other flights and there is absolutely no concern for entry.

Why are women so small and weak? I mean shouldnt the sex which is taking care of the infants and is crucial for their development also be the stronger one?

>>7701028

I don't know why exactly, but males being larger suggests that in the wild males would have multiple females.

I guess it's just something that happens in nature.
>>
>>7701028
>>7701031
Actually, the human male being larger, smarter and stronger than the female is an exception to the rule in nature.
>>
>>7701028
It's not like that in all species. Female spiders are stronger etc.

Alright, so PSI tells us the wave function. Its dependent on what number "n" is, and "n" describes a position an atom can have. Cn is dependent on n aswell, as Cn describes how high chance the "n"-state has to be taken, after the Atom's superposition colapses. Lets consinder that the superposition of the atom already colapsed, therefore the wavefunction also colapses, because the function no longer is a function but a number. Because its mearly a number its described as ni.
Sry for bad english, its not my native language, and on this level of science its hard to explain in any other language than my own.

>>7701077
Did you mean

[eqn]\left\vert n \right\rangle [/eqn] is a stationary state.
[eqn]\vert C_n \vert ^2[/eqn] gives the probability to find particle in state [math]n[/math]
and [eqn]\left \vert \psi \right\rangle[/eqn] is a superposition of all stationary states?

Is a Nuclear Physics PhD a waste of time?
>>
>>7700915
what is your long term project? The answer is irrelevant if we don't know what you want to do with it.
>>
>>7700915
why the fuck are you asking us? If you are at a point in your life where a nuclear physics PhD is a viable idea than you would know much better than we would.

honestly PhDs in specific fields which prepare you for research in those fields are quite obviously worth it if thats what you wanna do

A Banach space is a complete normed space.

For example the real numbers with the absolute value function as norm or the space of continuous functions from the interval [a,b] to R with the supremum norm.

|v| >= 0
|v| = 0 iff v=0
|rv| = |r| |v|
|v + w| <= |v| + |w|
