@ZachSaucier I very much agree that answer isn't satisfactory, and doesn't really answer the question. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure there is no really satisfactory answer. I hate to fall back on the tired cliche, but at least in this case "physics does not answer why" is really the most appropriate response.

Bernard Meurer

@ChrisWhite Why?

That said, there are many interesting and fascinating things that could be said about gravity, but it's hard to come up with questions for which they would be the answers.

@3075 This is just the opinion of a single internet stranger, but I highly suggest having a roommate for at least your first year. There's a whole slew of social things one learns by being stuck in close quarters with strangers.

user54412

Especially when thrust into an environment where nobody has any friends, it's important not to isolate yourself and miss golden opportunities for meeting people when everyone is feeling particularly social.

Bernard Meurer

@ChrisWhite That's good advice, I was thinking about that recently. I know it wasn't directed at me, but still

user54412

I try to sprinkle a little good advice in my otherwise directionless ramblings in this room.

@ChrisWhite You gave me more programming help in this room than most people in my life as a whole, I wouldn't call your rambling directionless :p

2:54 PM

ahh why am i so bad at cycle decomposition notation

$\sigma = (1~3~5)(2~4)$ $\tau = (1~5)(2~3)$ , $\sigma \circ \tau$ is $(1~3~5)(2~4)\circ (1~5)(2~3) = ?$ Is the correct way of doing this, to do the permutation on the right then permute the newly permuted elements at the location of the previous elements?

so like 5 is now at 1, 1 is now at 5, 2 and 3 are switched. Using these new locations for these elements, do the left permutation?

$(1~3~5)(2~4) \circ (1~5)(2~3) = (5~2~1)(3~4)$ is what I get doing this.

answer is $(2~5~3~4)$

4:29 PM

@Obliv Just like with that funny bump in the LHc results, I think "Wait and see" is the only reasonable thought on that. Let other experiments confirm this anomaly/get a statistically robust result, and then go on to figure out what experiments to do to distinguish between the proposed explanations.

Obliv

are there only 2 different $n$-cycles for every $S_n$?

user147690

@Obliv What do you mean?

user147690

What are the two you had in mind?

Obliv

I ask because $S_3$ only has two $3$-cycles

user147690

Which are?

Obliv

4:36 PM

$(1~3~2)$ and $(2~3~1)$

written in whatever order

user147690

And why are there no more?

Obliv

because there is only two directions to cycle these numbers to form a new cycle

but they end up forming the same cycle

user147690

And what about in S4?

user147690

1234,1243,1324?

user147690

Draw the cycles as graphs, then change the labels

Obliv

4:38 PM

and 1,4,2,3 and 1,4,3,2

are there any more than these

user147690

1 more

Obliv

I see..

user147690

In math you should aim to find counterexamples, by considering simple cases

user147690

Also I would in general worry about seeing S3 has two 3-cycles and consider that there are 2 n-cycles in Sn

user147690

That would be an insanely strong claim

Obliv

4:43 PM

I was influenced by there being only 2 reflections in $D_{2n}$ so I thought maybe that had something to do with it

user147690

2 reflections?

Obliv

$s^2 = 1$

user147690

There is one reflection, it is it's own inverse

Obliv

yeah thats what I meant

user147690

How did that influence you though?

user147690

4:45 PM

Do you know the Weyl group?

Obliv

I looked at $(1~2~3)$ and $(3~2~1)$ as the only two orderings that can be represented by 1 cycle each and they are reflections of each other

no i dont

like $(1~2~3) = (2~3~1) = (3~1~2)$ and $(3~2~1) = (2~1~3) = (1~3~2)$

there exists only 1 unique cycle for each case and I thought every group $S_n$ could be 'flipped' in reverse order so that only 1 unique cycle exists for each reflection.

but I didn't consider that you can re-arrange all of the elements within the first and last elements

Slereah

5:27 PM

Wait

I think I get it

Ghosts can go through wall, but

The reason they do not sink to the center of the earth, or fly off into space (if they are immune to gravity) is because they will follow mostly geodesic motion

Wait no

They should still sink

How do ghosts work

Q: Work done in less than a circle

work rotational-kinematics

For some reason it has so many downvotes!

John Rennie

7:33 PM

I'd guess the downvotes are because your question is unclear

Adam Karlson

By work energy theorem, shouldn't work done always be zero?

John Rennie

If the force acts at right angles to the motion then the work done is always zero

Adam Karlson

In a circumpolar satellite. The work done is zero going from North to North, but what is it from North to South Pole? Shouldn't it also be zero?

John Rennie

But in general if you move in a circular arc the force will not always be normal to the velocity so the work will not be zero

Adam Karlson

That's the question, does it always? I used an approximation of circular path as a straight line... And by keeping force constant along that, (and also perpendicular to it), it came out to be always zero

But if its not normal to velocity, won't speed change?

John Rennie

7:42 PM

You're considering the special case of a body in a circular orbit around a spherical mass. In that case the force is always radial and the velocity is always tangential so $\vec{F}\cdot\vec{v}$ is always zero.

But you don't make this clear in your question.

Suppose I consider a roller coaster that does a circular loop. The work done right round the loop is zero, but between the bottom and top of the loop the work is not zero.

Bernard Meurer

@3075 physics app dropped

John Rennie

So this is an example where over a semicircle in a conservative field the work is non-zero

3075

8:02 PM

@BernardMeurer what do you mean?

Slereah

Apparently, hyperreals require ultrafilters to define a measure on $N$ so that the measure is 0 on finite sets and 1 on $N$

Bernard Meurer

Bernard Meurer

@3075 519-888-4567, ext. 36243?

3075

should be

idk

sounds right

Slereah

Ah, apparently the trick for hyperreals is

You look at sequences in $R$ converging at different speeds

Apparently the ultrafilter is how you get those

Bernard Meurer

@3075 Alrighty

3075

8:10 PM

@Slereah why does the hyperreal extension of the interval $^*(0,1)$ contain infinitesimals?

Slereah

And that is done by the equivalence relation that, if two series have a cofinite number of identical factors, they are the same

Well as I said

You can have two different series which go to, say, 0

Like $1/n$ and $1/n^2$

But in the hyperreals, those may be different numbers

Because the rate of convergence is also taken into account

Not just the limit

3075

would $^*[0,1]$ be compact?

Slereah

Depends on the topology you define on it, I suppose

3075

can you explain

because $^*(0,1)$ is not compact

Slereah

not a clue

I don't know how they define topologies in $^*\Bbb R$

AccidentalFourierTransform

8:18 PM

@Slereah it would be fun to formulate a non-standard model with non-standard analysis :D

Slereah

Well I am reading a paper on this

It's kind of vague, though

AccidentalFourierTransform

the mass of the photon could be $\mathrm dm$

counterterms would be "finite"

Slereah

Well the point of any physical theory that would use such thing is

The measurable parts are all in $R$

3075

@BernardMeurer did you call? D:

i'm curious what they will say because I also called them once and they were helpful.

AccidentalFourierTransform

@Slereah oh but if numbers depend on the rate of convergence, different renormalisation schemes would yield different results O.o

Slereah

8:23 PM

Not really, no

AccidentalFourierTransform

(did you already notice that I have no idea about all this?)

Slereah

The point of constructing the field is that the details of its construction don't really matter once it's done

ACuriousMind

The only relevance of the NG action is that it's the "natural" one to wrote down. All the string theory is done from Polyakov.

kevin Tah N.

yes, indeed

Obliv

@bernardM hey how hard do you think it would be to program a calculator that displayed the prime factorization of the solution each time?

@ACuriousMind I've been meaning to ask you about what people who study statistical field theory actually do, I saw the table of contents of a book on the subject once and it had every thing from stat mech, qft, cft, ads/cft and even numerical methods in there. It looked quite sexy! but alas what is statistical field theory anyways?

ACuriousMind

@kevinTahN. And...what gave you the idea that I have any idea about statistical field theory? oO

kevin Tah N.

@ACuriousMind well, you know quite a lot :D

plus there is still a jury out as to if you are secretly an advanced extraterrestrial AI

ACuriousMind

Well, all I could say about "statistical field theory" is that I think it's "just" QFT in Euclidean space :P

Deleting 5 month old questions doesn't help anyone

@vzn nah, I'm not claiming veto power. This is a community-organized event. You could in principle do it entirely without my approval, or without getting any of the moderators involved at all. Our (mods') role in this is simply to help you out with advertising. We're being a resource, not being in charge. That's how it should be.

@DanielSank yes, thx for effort, think its fine, maybe run it by EP if possible who had that main objection about lack of clarity/ purpose? also do urge you to go ahead & try out/ use meta as proposed, although (as recent experience attests) think sometimes it feels like a "shooting gallery" :(
