What's the gravity threshold? How massive does something need to be at the bare minimum to warp space-time? And don't say it's relative because clearly it's not.

it's relative
>>
>>7649696
A minimum? There isn't supposed to be one but obviously it gets a lot harder to measure the gravity the lighter you go.
>>
>>7649696
Anything with mass affects space-time. So 0.00000000000000...1g All infinitesimal amounts.

Too bad magnetic fields can't do work.

And it cant suck cock. I want EMDrive to blow me.

But still, it seems like the results are definitely and systematically reproducible, even in vaccum. So, why dont we just send one up into orbit and test that shit? The thrust it generates is definitely enough for positional micro-control of satellites.

Hey /sci/borgs, how do you take notes? Specifically, do you have a short hand for written notes? And how did you develop your short hand to be the most efficient?

No, I just write slightly less legible. Then again I don't have any maths classes atm, those really used to fuck up my hand.

>Hey /sci/borgs, how do you take notes?
day to day notes are scribbled down into what i call my "barf book". at the end of the week, i consolidate and rewrite into a different book, which is my master studying resource that i take with me everywhere.
>>
I tend to write notes in the margins of my books, provided what i'm taking notes for follows said book reasonably tight. I then compile those notes before an exam.

Yes. Black holes regularly split atoms. Prove me wrong.

ever heard of atomic plants? define "natural"

Yes, many heavier elements have a chance to spontaneously fission. There's also alpha decay of course.

It's basically a syllabus fast track for analysis.

Let's make an actual syllabus for someone to go from Khan Academy to having the knowledge of an Undergrad in General Math from MiT all without having to set foot in a higher learning institution.

This is the path to an undergrad in general math from MIT. Beyond an introduction, topics in algebra and modern geometry are too advanced for undergraduates on the standard track. What is posted here is consistent with what an undergraduate math education would look like. At MIT, algebra is required, but once again it is merely an introduction, and the rest of what you listed are electives or seminars.

What if this 'updated' version included course numbers for MIT open courseware, since that school is being used as an example?

Is it even possible to build a sci-fi-esque reusable space ship that can take off from Earth, fly to another planet, then take off again and return to Earth in one piece using only proven physics, and near term technology?

It's fun to think about but I don't think any combination of existing systems could do this.
170 posts and 10 images submitted.
>>
If the EmDrive is true, maybe.

If the EmDrive is BS, definitely not.
>>
I think it's certainly possible. The only real obstacle is Delta-V, and that could be improved drastically with more efficient engines (which are at least theoretically possible with current technology). Even an Orion drive might be able to do it, if you could somehow find a place that you'd be allowed to take off from.

no, Im genetically attractive enough to attend college parties and have fun that way instead

>>7645445

I don't understand why you can't do both? If flying out to a fancy hotel for the weekend with a bunch of friends on your uni's dollar doesn't sound like a good time to you, then you must be a really boring person.

Went to a siemans fire alarm technology expo a few years ago.

The only women in fire alarm are secretaries, dikes and HR.

But i did smoke a joint in the hotel bathroom with the president of the company.

Are there any devices available that prevent AC from feeding back into a line after a device is turned on / off, etc?

I know very little about electricity. My mother is concerned that ripple in the otherwise (relatively) smooth 60 hz sine wave is interfering with her sleep and general health. I don't really have much of an opinion, I'd imagine it's probably emitting radio waves in a general band that's fairly small. Not certain what a given magnetic field flux and field strength would do, and my own health is so trashed to begin with, I don't care to attempt to bridge physics and one of the more poorly understood areas of biological systems.

If there aren't things like this commercially available, could I build an equivalent based around bipolar transistors? Does that even make sense? Thanks. While I understand the basis of her risk assessment, it'd be nice to be able to use lights.

Will asteroid mining be our next big achievement in space?

no the cost of sending people out is to high. the oxygen needed alone to go to the astroid belt and hang out for 6 months and come back is beyond all the space programs of earth put together to store up and put in space in 1 year

and most western nations have wing nuts like stephen hawking who fear monger about ai so no probe bots doing all the work either

also the cost for anything mined would be many times the normal rates and wouldnt sell

Yeah, that's always my question re: this subject. WTF could you possible plan to mine that would make this anything resembling cost effective? Reminds me of bitcoin mining at this point.

Anybody got the solutions manual to Oliver Davis Johns's Analytical Mechanics for Relativity and Quantum Mechanics? The book says the solution manual is free on request, but only for instructors... and I'm not an instructor. Tried requesting (twice) waited a month (twice) and didn't get a reply,

Well maybe if you aren't an instructor you shouldn't have a solutions manual

Still, it would be incredibly helpful whenever I get stuck.

>>7652349
well maybe if you got stuck, you'd actually learn the material.
