> One additional realm that hasn't been adequately considered, however, is that this large increase in exoplanets would also impact claims regarding astrology.
I recently asked a question that was originally put "on-hold" (you can look at the question here: SU(2) Rotation Matrices Problem from Halzen and Martin).
Now, I’ve read the homework policies several times, in an attempt to edit my problem so that it is more in concurrence with the site’s polic...
it has its faults (there's no good manual, and the command names are magic incantations with no relation to what they do), but it is by far the best version control in existence for anything
@skillpatrol It was a hugely exciting time for us computer nerds. The computer industry wasn't the settled place it is now and new types of personal computer were appearing every week (well it felt that way).
unfortunately i am not able to find the question :( but crushed version of my question is : i am losing my concentration from any works,(*like studying, coding, music*) but i really love to study but when i do that i get bored to early, i don't know how will i get my dedication back ? :_(
Ahh... that one you might want to take to reddit or something. I'm not sure if it would fit on an SE site.
You could check on Academia but I really don't know if they accept that sort of thing. Start by searching. I think people have tried to ask such questions before.
but our teachers says "teen period is most important and it decides whether one can be successful or not" and on other side i am wasting my teen period
Hi guys! When talking about the $U(1)$ gauge transformation of QED, Maggiore distinguishes between the electron's charge $e$ and the parameter of the $U(1)$ representation $q$. I can see that there's a difference, because he lets $\Psi$ transform to $e^{iqe\theta(x)}\Psi(x)$ and $A_\mu\mapsto A_\mu+(i/e)(\partial_\mu U)U^\dagger$, where $U(x)=e^{ie\theta(x)}$, so $\Psi$ transforms in a specific representation of $U(1)$, whereas $A_\mu$'s transformation does not depend on $q$.
Or maybe they redefine $e$ to be $1/3$ of the electron's charge, then the electron and positron are in the $q=3$ rep, the up quark in $q=2$ and the down quark in $q=1$.
@Slereah Yep. Makes sense. But is that related to the $U(1)$ representation?
I was looking for guidelines, but the best I could find is this. Is there a better statement somewhere?
That was hard enough to find. Perhaps a entry could be put in the help to make it easier to find.
I thought this was a settled issue, but the comments to the answer I linked suggest ot...

Today Ali Frolop and Douglas Scott published a paper (http://arxiv.org/abs/1603.09703) in which they found:
... there is a remarkable correspondence between each type of peculiarity in the digits of π and the anomalies in the CMB.
@0celo7 I mean that, given that you're asking someone to give you a copy of something, it's ironic that you're so particular about the person you're asking having a legally obtained copy when the method by which they would get it to you is presumably illegal.
Copyright infringement (with respect to distribution) is a matter of how you get the copy. There isn't an attribute "legal" or "illegal" that is attached to a copy of a work and follows it around as it passes from person to person.
lol :-P
(not a lawyer, BTW)
(but I do have a 100% HNQ hit rate on law.SE so there)
For the record, we don't actually care about copyright here - I mean, we don't take it upon ourselves to enforce other people's copyright agreements. There's no rule against discussing copyright-infringing files. No rule against posting links to them.
Actually: I probably shouldn't say we don't care about copyright. What I should say is that whatever is in the SE terms of service regarding copyrighted material is what we go by.
I always hope for a new epic joke paper to appear on arXiv for April Fool's Day, and I'm nearly always disappointed. Though the astrology of exoplanets one was pretty good, I thought.
And the abstract page has links to INSPIRE and ADS and so on, as well as blog trackbacks, and you can use it to find other works by the same authors, check publication info, etc.
gr-qc is populated by papers that scream "we're trying our best to keep classical GR research alive by publishing papers on rehashed toy problems or poking very very very deep holes into problems no one cares about"
@0celo7 I mean classical GR is just so well understood that at this point the gr-qc papers are either papers of the above form or very dry papers on modified theories of gravity
This week I've seen several complete solutions posted to homework-like questions.
One author asked if he should delete his answer. I'm inclined to answer yes, he should delete it, but I'm putting the question up here to see what others think.
Ah ... the author deleted it on his own, so I can't...
