Bummer... I keep coming up with equations that are way more complicated than the original NS equations. Which is a bad thing, since it's probably cheaper just to solve the NS equations, and because I probably made a bunch of bookkeeping mistakes... heh
My research work was too easy (though I've seen far easier work by some applicants!) with bring a simple set of coupled PDEs in Cartesian coords, but was enough to land me my great jaerb.
Someone I work with got a PhD in math for finding an optional mesh refinement condition for one PDE.
Now that I'm on the other side also, I've seen a lot of... head scratching... PhD work done by applicants. I'm often surprised by what passes at some places
Part of it may be that we can't get the best applicants since we're in a government lab. US citizens only and willing to work for much less than industry offers kinda turns people off...
Thinking more, I did have some coordinate transformation for a project in one of my courses, but it was purely trigonometry & no differentials (had to distribute particles in a galaxy and then be able to project what the sky would look like from a particular point inside the Galaxy)
Even though the pay isn't as good as industry, I really like the environment. It's like being in a university lab, without the need to teach and being fully aware of what the real needs are and trying to work out how to tackle them
I went to Phoenix in May for a conference at ASU... but I don't remember it. Haha. I went from home (Eastern time zone), to Germany for 7 days, landed at home and slept for 4 hours, then got back to the airport to go Phoenix for 7 days
And my flight schedule got so jacked up due to delays and missed connections, I ended up taking 11 flights in that 14 day period
My brother is such a Flyers fan -- he got season tickets when he was at Temple as an undergrad, and kept them when he was in grad school at Pitt. He would drive back to Philly for every home game
If anyone here is into fantasy series like Wheel of Time or Mistborn/Stormlight Archives, I highly recommended the Licanius Trilogy by James Islington.
Kinda random, but I just finished that series and I'm pretty blown away by the ending. As long as obvious religious metaphors aren't a dealbreaker, the plot is one of the most satisfying I've read in a long time. I just need to let out some appreciation, it's really good in my opinion if it's the type of book you like.
interesting hadnt seen much on this. this nice intro says its a sequel to GPT which open AI recently garnered big headlines on. towardsdatascience.com/…
@JMac thanks, I'll have a look. I'm always interested in good SFF books. In retaliation let me recommend the Divine Cities trilogy. This has a similar feel and I thought all three books were excellent!
Imagine a standard U235 pellets scaled to the scale of Earth, I wonder would it explodes or just meltdown? I believe despite overshooting the critical mass however the heat produce is still too cool to start sustained chain reaction? Right?
@EmilioPisanty There will be no second referendum. Johnson has a majority now so his deal will pass the commons and the UK will formally leave the UK. This will happen sooner rather than later.
@EmilioPisanty Scotland overwhelmingly voted for the SNP. However I still doubt there is a majority for Scottish independence so I suspect nothing will happen. The Scots won't like it because they will lose a lot of EU funding that I doubt the Conservatives will fully replace.
Also it is raining and cold in Chester so I couldn't ask for a better morning. Still I am making a garlic sausage and cranberry pasta dish for lunch so all is not lost.
I am puzzled by an apparent possibility of incoherence of the site behavior.
Let me use a specific case as an example.

This question has a basis in what I would call theoretical and metaphysical computer science. Naturally, it would not be welcome on CS SE. Hopefully it fits here and there are those of you here interested enough in both philosophy and computers to answer.
I have asked a question here related to ...
@ACuriousMind I need a little help with German. Translate "untrennbare Kette zwischen Objeckt und Subjekt". I know "breakable" verbs as "trennbare verben" and "zwischen ... " I easily get but what of "Kette" in this context?
something like "unbroken link between the object and the subject"?
I want to become a propulsion system engineer or with more general name, rocket engineer.
I'm studying Physics (not Physics Engineering, note that) and I want to learn lectures or topics related on that field.
Topics like thermodynamics, liquid mechanics, vibration theory etc.
I think I should better start with thermodynamics.
I take Mechanics 1 lecture at the university.
The course curricilim is as follows: Vectors, Newton's Laws of Motion, Frames of Reference: Galilean Transformation, Conservation of Energy, Conservation of Linear and Angular Momentum, Harmonic Oscillator: Properties and Examples, Elementary Dynamics of Rigid Bodies, Inverse-square-law Force, The Speed of Light, Special Relativity: The Lorentz Transformation, Relativistic Dynamics: Momentum and Energy, Principle of Equivalance.
I don't really know what I will learn in the next years, it is more focused on modern physics as you can see.
