@0celo7 Regardless of whether I can obtain that particular information, passing on personally identifiable information to non-moderators would violate the moderator agreement and would be grounds for losing the diamond.
Only if you actually have to do commutative algebra when you're doing it. If you don't say "Noetherian ring" at leats once a day, you're not an algebraist ;) [the preceding sentence may contain narrow characterization and hyperbole]
Ok, well the equation states that E = hc/y where y is the wavelength, but if y increases via cosmological expansion, E decreases - does this disprove conservation of energy?
@Enfyve That would be fine on the main site if you asked "how do I reconcile this with conservation of energy" instead of "does this disprove conservation of energy"
@SirCumference as someone who didn't take physics, that confuses me - it's hard to understand how a dynamic spacetime leads to dissipation of a photon's energy
@Enfyve I'm a little surprised you aren't asking about momentum too, since that's related to a photon's wavelength. In relativity you can think of conservation of energy and conservation of momentum as part of one thing: conservation of four-momentum
Actually, I'm not sure how this can be explained to someone who hasn't taken physics...
@0celo7 cc @DavidZ The old "A Day in the Penalty Box" says: "(This should probably go without saying, but if the problem behaviors do continue beyond the timed suspension, your account is very likely to be permanently deleted.)"; this is from the days before the escalatory structure of successively longer bans was instituted though, I believe.
@ACuriousMind ahh... yeah, maybe they should fix that. In practice, we generally don't delete accounts as the next step after a suspension. It normally takes something above and beyond suspension-worthy behavior to get your account deleted.
chat is indeed a lot more alive with 0celo7 back, normally at this particular time period, the chat has low activity (and that's how I end up mostly in the maths chat at that time)
How about we return to the perfectly reasonable discussions we were having about formal logic and white holes, before we got distracted by what-have-i-got-in-my-pocket?
the word singularity feels like a misnomer here, if a black hole is a point of infinite spacetime, wouldnt a white hole be an infinite lack of spacetime thus having no 'point'?
I understand a black hole to be a body where the gravitational field reaches infinity towards it's 'center.' I thought since gravitational fields can warp spacetime that'd mean spacetime would also approach infinity towards the 'center'
