Is it normal that you learn slower as you age?
I remember I used to just soak up academic textbooks (mainly those about organic chemistry and mathematical analysis) in my late teens, but now, a couple years later, I need way more time to learn basically anything. Is this normal?
On the upside, it seems like I can now learn humanities quite fast, so there's that.

I was looking at homemade heliostats and was pondering if there was math that could take care of the targeting problem. Surely we must be able to predict the suns position to a degree of accuracy with a formula? Given the time and location of course. But that got me pondering again. What time would I feed this formula? The sun doesn't care if it's daylight savings or if we did a leap day. So my question is (Tl;Dr):
Does space time exist? If not, how do space physicists talk about where a body is going to be at a certain point in time?

Hi guys. I have a question.
What is the relationship between compressibility (rigidity) and the speed of sound through a medium?
I know that in general, as rigidity increases, so does the speed of sound. Like the speed of sound in water is faster than in air.
But is there an equation that defines this relationship?
I ask because I have a theory that space is a compressible fluid and the speed of light is the speed of sound in space.
I want to try to derive the approximate compressibility of space-fluid using the speed of sound (light).
Is this derivation possible or would I need more variables than the speed of sound? Also, what do you think of my theory in general?

>> No.15903684

>>15903623
In general sound waves depend on the elastic properties of the material and the inertial involved. For example the speed of sound in a solid depends on its Young's modulus and its density. [math]v = \sqrt{\frac{Y}{\rho}}[/math].

However that equation only applies to a mechanical wave, compression waves require a medium. There is no medium required for light, it's not the same kind of wave. If you're trying to prove the existence of the aether this isn't going to work.

>>15903684
I think we have reached the limit of where non-aether models can take us. It has led us the path of inventing convenient yet unprovable mechanisms like dark energy and dark matter.
It is time to double-back and reconsider the possibility of aether as an explanation. I think the best possible starting point is Karl Pearson's Ether Squirts, which is an interesting read even if you think I'm dead wrong. You can still view it as a thought experiment.
https://www.jstor.org/stable/2369570

In this paper, Pearson describes space as flowing from squirts and into sinks. Sinks are matter, and squirts are antimatter. He described antimatter decades before it would be formally postulated to exist. And he was right.
I came up with the same theory independently a few years ago. Where space goes to and comes from, we can call this the anti-universe.
I think the expansion of the universe is caused not by dark energy, but by an imbalance of flow of space between the universe and anti-universe. An imbalance of matter and antimatter, squirts and sinks.
Matter is being destroyed through fusion in stars, while there are no processes destroying antimatter. Antimatter disperses itself by its very nature, expelling and putting space between itself and other objects.
I also think dark matter holding galaxies together is really the "pressure" exerted by dispersed antimatter in intergalactic space.

To me, it is all very clear and simple and even seems obvious. That's why I need an outside opinion. How would you go about proving this?
One flaw with Pearson's model is that he treats space as an incompressible fluid, whereas I know it must be compressible to satisfy the equations for gravitational and kinetic time dilation (the same thing in my model).
So I'm working on updating it to account for the compressibility of space, but if I'm being honest, I'm feeling rather out of my depth.

Anon, this conversation has inspired me and allowed me to complete my alternative model of the universe. I've realized that I was going down that wrong path by believing that spacefluid is compressible. Rather, it merely traverses a 4 dimensional hypersphere at it flows towards matter. This is all laid out and made clear in Dante's Divine Comedy. There is no need for compressibility and the equations for time dilation are still satisfied. Thank you.

>>15904577
Remember, the more protons a molecule disassociates from in solution, the more acidic it is. The electronegativity of the fluorine is so strong that it will take more to disassociate a proton compared to a chlorine. This means that H-OF will more likely "hold on" to the hydrogen compared to the H-OCl. This is the same reason why HCl is a strong acid and HF is not - chlorine's lesser electronegativity means it will readily "let go" of the hydrogen, making it more acidic while the fluorine will tend to want to "hold on" to the hydrogen.

well x \iff x is obviously a tautology for all x in F since an equivalency is true if and only if both sides of it have the same truth value, and since x is logically equivalent to itself the equivalency will always be true so it is reflexive.
For a relation to be symmetric it means that if x \iff y is a tautology then y\iff x is also a tautology. It should be pretty easy to see that this relation is symmetric since, if you have for example -(pVq) \iff -p∧-q is a tautology and you just change the order, so you have -p∧-q \iff -(pVq) then the truth value of the equivalency doesn't change.
Transitivity also shouldn't be that hard to intuivitely understand, if you have x \iff y is a tautology and y \iff z is a tautology then x \iff z is also a tautology, because what that basically means is that x and y are logically equivalent and y and z are logically equivalent, so naturally x and z must be logically equivalent.
Also I don't know if you asked for like a correctly worded proof or if you intuitively don't get it. If it's the second I recommend reading more on ER's, what the different attributes of relations mean (reflexive,irreflexive,symmetric etc), because I don't think it should be that hard to intuitively understand that this is an ER if you know the basics about those things.

How do I put more than 3 graphics on one page in LaTeX? The 4th picture is always set on another page for some reason? I'm making a small collection of icons on a page and after the 3rd it just throws the next one smack dab in the middle of the next page.

There's a direct mapping. You can write the Riemann Zeta function in terms of the Dirichlet Eta function, and vice-versa: [math]\zeta(s) = \dfrac 1 {1 - 2^{1 - s} } \eta(s)[/math].

So since you know the Euler product form of the Zeta function that implicitly means you also know it for the Eta function.

Actually, I do know. It's so that you don't have to relearn different proofs later on. Topological proofs often nicer, cleaner, and give stronger results. The rigorour of analysis really only shines when you go to stuff like Functional Analysis; it's kind of useless at the undergraduate level. So you can think of Analysis as just training for REAL analysis à la Papa Rudin. Also the stuff taught in Abbott is barely Topology.

letting the side length of M be m, you have an area m^2 that you want to break into four congruent squares of area (m^2)/4 and thus side length m/2. doesn't take much experimentation to figure out that splitting along the midpoints of the sides is the only way forward

Yes. Human eye perceives color depending on how light stimulates different types of sensory cells.

I unironically need help with math-ey homework.

We're supposed to write a circuit simulator in c++, turns out it's rather laborious. Now, we somehow have to make a Runge-Kutta 4 solver, problem is we're only given pic related as an explanation and we (as in everyone i knows) don't have any clue on how to solve it for a 2nd order dif eq.

So, first of all i don't actually knows what i'm doing for the first order : the """explanation""" tells us about f(u_n,t_n) but we don't actually have any time involved in the equation, only input voltages and the time step.
yet, my first order equations such as v_in[i]-v_out[i]/(R*C) only work if :
- v_in[i] = t_n
- v_out[i] = u_n
Then computing the RK4 coefficient work, but why ? why is the input signal suddenly related to time ??

Also, how does that "transformation" actually works for higher dimension functions ? my 2nd Orders have 4 inputs instead of two : v_in[i-1] , v_out[i-1] , v_in[i] and v_out[i] ( obviously i want v_[i+1] )

Any clue what i'm supposed to do ? we already asked the profs but they either didn't know because they were only good at programming or were absolute mathfags and didn't want to explain because it would spoil and it's supposed to be "trivial". I'm in EE btw, i've only touched c++ by programming shit in my spare time when i was younger, i've no clue why they dropped this assignment like this out of nowhere.

True. A simple magnet can produce more force than the gravity produced by the entire Earth.
> with the highest area of effect
Not true. Gravity and EM both are infinite range and scale as [math]\frac{1}{r^2}[/math].

The difference is that EM has +ve and -ve charges, they tend to cancel out, or a particle can have no charge at all. Gravity only has "positive" mass.

> im wondering is if its possible for gravity to be stronger than the other forces in a black hole
Depends what you mean precisely by "stronger". Physicists measure the strength of a force by its coupling constant, for EM that is called the fine structure constant. However those constants can change at high energy scales but at the most extreme level they would all unify to the same value. Gravity would never be stronger.

OK, I brought it up to a few friends
the response basically boiled down to
>"Proof of evolution within a species is irrelevant, I want proof of one species evolving into another"
I also mentioned how nylon is a recently (relatively) new synthetic material I believe, and we've witnessed new species evolving that have the ability to "consume" nylon
But I'm still learning so maybe that is just a quirk of a species rather than it being an outright new species?
I asked them their thoughts on other hominids like Australopithecus afarensis, Homo habilis, Homo erectus, the hominids as researched by Tim D. White in 2003, etc etc
and the response I got to that is just "well those are deformed humans"
I asked how multiple independent and morphologically consistent species of alleged "deformed" humans or apes existed in the distant past, but for some reason we don't see those deformities in modern society in any humans or in any other ape species. My friends just shrugged it off
I know a response I got was that I can't change their mind. but I didn't believe in evolution either and now I'm starting to open my eyes about this whole branch of science.

Yes it's a real thing though I can't say it's very common. Some people are more empathic than others, that's normal. They can more easily understand the feelings and actions of others, and are better at noticing non-verbal tells - they may not even be conscious of that fact. An empath is simply someone who is hyper-empathic, they don't just understand someone's feelings, they might even have a sympathetic bodily response to them.

If you have 41.49 and you're rounding to the nearest whole number then the nearest is 41, because 49 is less than 51. It also means if you round to the nearest tenth (41.5) and then round again to the nearest whole number (42) you have accuracy losses, so try to only round once

Both. Surprisingly, the brain benefits an awful lot from the body doing exercise.

Further:
Avoid alcohol - it is literally a poison to your body
Avoid smoking - nicotine improves cognitive performance temporarily but the health effects of smoke inhalation far outweigh this
Get sufficient vit D and omega 3. If you live further north than Portugal then you probably don't get enough vit D in winter months from the sun. This is obviously even worse if your skin is constantly covered or you spend a lot of time indoors

Now I tried t = 0 or t^2+1 = 0

t^2 +1= X + 1/X = X^2 + 1/X^2 + 3= 0

t= X + 1/X = 0 which would give

I thought the smaller interval is always a subset of the larger one and so their intersection is always the smaller one and their union is always the larger one and so 2-6 are ALL topologies.

Most of these are not closed under infinite unions.
For (iii) you can take a strictly increasing sequence of rationals converging to an irrational number, and take the union.
For (iv) you can take a strictly increasing sequence of rationals converging to 1.
For (v) you can take a strictly increasing sequence of irrationals converging to a rational.
For (vi) you can take a strictly increasing sequence of irrational numbers converging to 1.

It's just something to check. We require those properties from a topology because we know them to be true for `normal' open sets in R, and we want a topology to have a similar role to these sets.
Because unions of closed sets can be open, that should alert you (intuition) for (iv) and (vi), and because neither the set of rationals nor irrationals are closed under limits you probably should be extra careful for (iii)-(vi).

All of these things should build intuition, yes. It takes a while.

y" = y
why can't I solve this bullshit integrating twice, yes I know the solution, I have like ten ode books, but none explain what is really going on.
For y' = y this solution is pretty straightforward from one integration y = c exp(t)
But for y"=y the first integration results in a nonlinear ode
ln |x| dx = (t + c) dt
which results in an implicit function far from the expected result if integrated. What gives?

>> No.15923717

>>15923609
>ln |x| dx = (t + c) dt
This is nonsense. It looks like you are trying to extend the trick
dy/dt = y -> dy/y = dt -> ln y = t+c
It doesn't make any sense to do that with second order differentials like d^2y (what does the integral over this even mean?)

If you want to do something like that, instead make a first order system

y' = v
v' = y

then
dv/y = dt = dy/v, which implies v dv = y dy, or v^2 = y^2 +- a^2, with a^2 an arbitrary constant, which may have either sign.

Now the equation y'=v can be written
z' = sqrt{z^2+-1}
with z defined as y/a, and a is allowed to be negative, absorbing a possible sign of the square root.

Now doing the1st order ODE trick you get either

arcsinh(y/a) = t+b
or
arccosh(y/a) = t+b
depending on the sign of the +-1 in the square root. These two linearly independent solutions can be rearranged into e^{+t} and e^{-t}, with both a and b appearing in an overall constant factor.

There is a bizarre statistical phenomenon I have observed
>be white
>be atheist
>be into getting cucked
Is it the Whiteness or the Atheism which draws the desires of cuckoldry or is it the whiteness which draws both?
And I don't mean the women side of the argument. I mean the kind of men who are content with their state of affairs.
If there is a correlation then there must be a real scientific explanation.
Atheism is most common among whites and so is cuckoldry. I won't say it's an excessive rate, but it's clearly proportionally higher.
This behavior is actually then most similar to chimpanzees, which are extremely promiscuous creatures.
Chimpanzees do not worship a god. Is it also mostly germanic europeans that are atheist and cuckolds.
Clearly Religion is a tool of evolution, but atheism and cuckoldry may be result of devolved traits, a reversal back towards lower being.
And just to note this is not be support organized religion. I'm a Catholic and I fucking hate the (anti)papacy.
I believe in a mathematical theory of God and the universe. No so dimwitted as a materialist scientist, but yet far more enlightened than the slave to institutionalism.
And most of all I think the punishment fitting an adulterous man or women is to be hung and all agents of entropy threaten universal harmony. Those absent of guilt are clearly absent of the most basic humanity which is necessary to prolong the human race and its welfare.
What are your thoughts as scientists and mathematicians, and why are asking these questions so taboo? Everything should be able to be understood scientifically and mathematically unless those institutions are made flawed by chaotic agents.
And I'm a nice guy, I don't think low IQ people should be executed, but they just shouldn't have as many rights as the superiorly minded. Clearly higher intelligence can operate morally in a more cogent manner, given they must have moral aspirations, as well all ought to, or so said Christ my teacher.

You can integrate y''=y twice it just won't solve the equation because y(t) is an unknown function. In your other examples 1 and t are known functions of t, so integrating twice gets you something

To be clear, you can rewrite the equation like
[math] y(t) = \int^t \int^{t'} y(t'') dt'' dt' [/math]
but it doesn't make any progress towards solving the equation whereas if the right hand side is a given function of t you can.

I don't know what more you want. If you want to use the non-rigorous trick using 1st order differentials that works for y' = y, I showed you how to do it correctly with y''=y.

I didn't double check this but it should work fine mod some off-by-one errors maybe.
If it is optimal to jump at some stage n, it is also optimal to jump at stage n+1 (I think this is obvious).
So, the optimal policy will be something of the following form: chance until you are in some stage >= k and from then on only jump till the finish line.
The expected number of coins used to get into a stage >= k is then [math]\frac{100}{101-k}[/math] and the expected number of coins used to get to the finish line from that point on is [math]\frac1k \sum\limits_{i=k}^{100} i = \frac{5050}{k} - \frac{k-1}{2}[/math].
Adding this up and minimizing over k I find it's optimal to chance until you are in stage >= 91 and jump then, for about 20.49 expected used coins.

Whoops, it's wrong.
There's the stages k, k+1, ..., 100 you can land in, with a probability to end in this region of A / 100, where I denote A = 101-k.
Then the expected number of coins to end up >= k is 100/A.
From that point on, you have a probability of 1/A to end up in each of the stages k, k+1, ..., 100, and from each stage i you have to jump 100-i times.
So the second term should be [math]\frac1A \sum_{i=k}^{100} 100-i[/math] and solving the optimal k=87.
