@ChrisWhite How about the tension between Planck and BICEP2?
 
Oh no, the Perimeter Institute have ruined their online lecture site!
There's no longer a perimeterscholars.org.
It redirects to the main site, and there's no nicely organised lecture list :(

@Danu : After that double entendre comment, it is difficult to take the entire post serious.

Q: Why is the Lane-Emden equation written the way it is as opposed to some other typical form?

El'endia StarmanThe Lane-Emden equation is typically written as $$\frac{1}{\xi^2} \frac{d}{d\xi} \left( \xi^2 \frac{d\theta}{d\xi} \right) = -\theta^n,$$ which makes sense given the derivation on the Wikipedia page. But, why not keep going with the simplification? $$\begin{align*} \frac{1}{\xi^2} \frac{d}{d\xi}...

COOL! ChatJax even renders the LaTeX in the one-box snippet!

@KyleKanos Amazing, they still need 40x to reach the exaflop regime then we can simulate a brain
