8:02 PM
@FenderLesPaul push enough times and you quantum tunnel through
 
Good luck with that
 
@FenderLesPaul thank you
 
@0celo7 : google it and you can find a free PDF. It's the fourth item in the list. Also see the Einstein digital papers and my answer here.
 
@0celo7 Ah, the grand naiveté of youth ;)
 
8:05 PM
"grand" indeed
 
I'm going to start appealing to Newton in all of my answers
because who dares go against the infinite wisdom of Newton?
Newton said that the orbits are stable because God comes in and fixes the perturbations
clearly this is the end all be all
HUZZAH
 
@FenderLesPaul: I'm a bit of a Newton fan actually. See Mr Newton's Classroom.
 
@ACuriousMind no you are naive for thinking this man is a lost cause
 
@0celo7 You might call that overly cynical, but it is not naive.
 
8:10 PM
Leaving for the holidays tomorrow, woo~
Drunk week
 
You're conical for thinking that's not naive
 
have fun pal
 
@Slereah "Drunk week" is a holiday in your country? :D
 
Must be Russian
 
must?
 
8:13 PM
yes
must
 
oh
perhaps
:-)
 
More of a tradition with friends :p
Although yes it will involve russian people
Tip : Never leave a bottle of absinthe in a russian's room

@skill patrol : I'm not stubborn. I'm right. And I'm with Einstein. And Newton, see the comments here.
 
I'm with Donald Trump and Huckabee
 
obe
@JohnDuffield You're alone because they're dead.
 
8:18 PM
Sometimes I can hear Dirac whispering to me in my sleep.
2
 
@JohnDuffield what is your definition of "stubborn"?
 
@ACuriousMind People tell me I sound like Dirac.
 
@skill patrol : the same as yours.
 
@0celo7 That explains a lot.
 
@JohnDuffield then by my definition you are stubborn QED
"I'm not stubborn. I'm right."
what do you call that^
 
8:24 PM
@skill patrol : objectivity.
 
how so?
 
Because I back up what I tell you about gravity with references to Einstein and the evidence.
 
I haven't seen any evidence tbh...just a lot of Einstein, which is dubiously relevant at best today.
 
could we talk about something fruitful?
or is chat just going to be a pointless back and forth that we know is never going to go anywhere?
 
This is fruitful
Free entertainment
 
8:32 PM
I don't feel particularly entertained. Can we shift the "Duffield and Einstein vs. the rest of the world" discussion to another room?
 
:(
You have shunned me
 
@0celo7 : there's plenty of evidence. For example : you know that NIST optical clocks go slower when they're lower. They go slower when they're lower because light goes slower when its lower. See this answer. They don't go slower when they're lower because ju-ju goes slower.
 
@ACuriousMind yeah please
it's not entertaining
 
@JohnDuffield I have poor self control. So to appease Mr. Jûliger, I am blocking you on chat.
 
@ACuriousMind : you seem to be making a habit of closing down physics questions and discussions.
 
8:34 PM
@ACuriousMind The problem has been dealt with.
 
@0celo7 @JohnDuffield I am not saying you two cannot have whatever discussion you want. Just please not in the main chatroom.
 
Last comment: I agree your cause is noble, but your methods are rooted in saying "I am right." that makes you sound like a righteous preacher.
 
@0celo7 You can discuss all you want. I'm not even saying that's a bad thing to do. I just don't need to see it.
 
@ACuriousMind It's done now.
Tbh I was getting bored of it too.
 
on ignore?
 
8:41 PM
Yes.
 
how was football practice?
or handegg
:-)
 
It was pretty cool.
 
were the cheer leaders there? :P
 
No :(
 
8:52 PM
@FenderLesPaul what will I be streaming tonight?
 
Skyrim?
 
@skill patrol : as you can see above, my method is to provide robust references to back up what I say. But of course some people always find a way to reject them to carry on believing in popscience lies to children.
 
I need to do a lot of grinding...just a warning
The ho fighters don't have smithed armor yet
I could play GTA5...I just started a new file.
@FenderLesPaul do you have your desktop yet?
I could start to walk you through modding
 
@0celo7 not yet, will have it soon
 
I don't feel particularly entertained. Can we shift the game-playing discussion to another room?
 
9:04 PM
maybe you could shift to another room
 
This is a physics chatroom, not a game-playing chatroom.
 
if you will look slightly to the right
You will see that it is listed as "general chat"
 
And if you look above you will see this.
 
How do you block someone exactly?
 
This is the best example of a Stack Exchange chat room that is often completely unrelated to is parent site. Which I like!
2
 
9:08 PM
nvm got it
 
It is unrelated to the topic of this room.
 
@FenderLesPaul did you block me
 
@Slereah alright dude let's take it a step back
I don't hate him
 
@Slereah Be nice.
3
 
no need to be mean
 
9:09 PM
You don't hate me. You fear me.
 
@0celo7 I love you!
 
I assume he's talking to him
I can't see him
 
Dirac just told me to make chicken curry, I think.
 
It is p. hard
 
@HDE226868 do I get a medal for derailing this chat on a regular basis?
 
9:10 PM
Smug obstination is not a turn on for me
 
@FenderLesPaul 😳
 
@Slereah Oh, it depends... ;)
 
@0celo7 Dunno. I'll see if I can find one.
 
@ACuriousMind GDI I said chicken flurry
 
@0celo7 But you also ask mathy and physicsy questions, that might balance out your derails
might
 
obe
9:12 PM
The derailing will end with the beginning of the fall semester.
 
@0celo7 Here you go:
 
@obe Wednesday
 
"The Nobel Prize in Chatting"
 
@HDE226868 off to Sweden
 
Say hi to the King for me.
 
9:15 PM
I need a date, don't i
 
@Slereah : there's nothing smug or obstinate about answering questions with robust factual references to Einstein and the evidence. Here's an example. But of course, some people here don't like that sort of thing. They'd rather close down questions. And physics chat.
 
You peasants can fight over the privilege
 
@0celo7 Are you asking us all out on a date?
 
I'm a slut
Are there even any women in here
 
Not that I know
then again I don't think SE lists genders
 
9:19 PM
Feb 2 at 21:42, by ACuriousMind
Full disclosure: I am much more handsome in reality than my profile picture suggests. Also, I may be a dog.
 
Well apparently you are a Modron
 
Currently. I've also been Alicia Keys, at least according to @0celo7
 
Ok, I refuse to take a dog to the Nobel Prize ceremony as my +1
 
::sad whine::
 
@ACuriousMind that was a mistake
 
9:21 PM
A lowly Quadrone, even
I'm not too fond of modern day Modrons
I prefered them when they were very abstract shapes
Instead of televisions
although the Hierarchs always looked dumb
 
@Slereah But I'm unique! I even have a personality!
 
and was voiced by Homer Simpson
I never actually got the Modron in Planescape
I mostly stuck with the first 5 guys
 
Dak'kon and Fall-from-Grace are my favourites, I think
 
I dunno, Dakkon is pretty boring
Skull dude is best
Morte?
 
Morte. Had him as my picture already
He's funny
 
9:29 PM
Oh man that part where the evil skull pile asks us to put Morte back in
"NO THANKS"
I'm keeping my evil skull thank you very much
 
My new favorite function: the blancmange curve.
 
@HDE226868 What about
THE DEVIL'S STAIRCASE
In mathematics, the Cantor function is an example of a function that is continuous, but not absolutely continuous. It is also referred to as the Cantor ternary function, the Lebesgue function, Lebesgue's singular function, the Cantor-Vitali function, the Devil's staircase, the Cantor staircase function, and the Cantor-Lebesgue function. Georg Cantor (1884) introduced the Cantor function and mentioned that Scheeffer pointed out that it was a counterexample to an extension of the fundamental theorem of calculus claimed by Harnack. The Cantor function was discussed and popularized by Scheeffer (1884...
I also like that function because it's absurdly general
In mathematics, the Fox H-function H(x) is a generalization of the Meijer G-function introduced by Charles Fox (1961). It is defined by a Mellin–Barnes integral where L is a certain contour separating the poles of the two factors in the numerator. Another generalization of Fox H-function is given by Innayat Hussain AA (1987). For a further generalization of this function, useful in Physics and Statistics, see Rathie (1997). The special case for which the Fox H-function reduces to the Meijer G-function is Aj = Bk = C, C > 0 for j = 1...p and k = 1...q (Srivastava 1984, p. 50): == References... ==
 
In mathematics, the Minkowski question mark function (or the slippery devil's staircase), denoted by ?(x), is a function possessing various unusual fractal properties, defined by Hermann Minkowski (1904, pages 171–172). It maps quadratic irrationals to rational numbers on the unit interval, via an expression relating the continued fraction expansions of the quadratics to the binary expansions of the rationals, given by Arnaud Denjoy in 1938. In addition, it maps rational numbers to dyadic rationals, as can be seen by a recursive definition closely related to the Stern–Brocot tree. == Definition... ==

10:18 PM
why am I so tired aaargh
 
I found another question that no longer makes sense because of a dead link: physics.stackexchange.com/questions/11029/…?. I have not unilaterally deleted this one because the dead link is not creating spam the way the other one was.
User input is solicited.
 
user54412
I'm always in favor of pruning the dead stuff.
 
user54412
I remember flagging such a thing on SO once -- the image-hosting site had replaced the original image with spam -- and having my flag dismissed. I think link-rot has become endemic to certain (most?) internet communities, so many people have come to view fighting it as futile.
 
I only host my pictures on Geocities, it will never die that way!
 
10:35 PM
@dmckee if anyone is willing to look up an archive of the page (assuming one exists) and edit the question to be independent, that would be one way to save it, but otherwise I'd support deleting it
It's very little use without the actual question
 
10:49 PM
@dmckee This user's input: Delete, what's left of the question is of no value to anyone.
 
11:38 PM
@HDE226868 that's a terrible name for a function
where is @KyleKanos? working already?
