I understand that a taproot output can be either spent using key path or script path. With key path, a tweak is applied to the private key and then sign the sighash. The signature is provided as a witness. However with script path, I do not see the tweak being used anywhere. For example, in 2.4.8...

Why carbon in white dwarfs ingnites (deflagrate, detonate) at the Chandrasekhar limit? The limit relates stability of the star made of degenerate electron Fermi gas to the WD mass without a word about chemical identity of the atomic nuclei. How is that carbon ignites at (or around) the limit?

A Baire 1 function $f:[0,1]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ need not be bounded. However, thanks to the Baire category theorem, we know there is $N\in \mathbb{N}$ and a sub-interval $(c, d) \subset [0,1]$ such that $(\forall x\in (c, d))( |f(x)|\leq N)$. In other words, a Baire 1 function may not be bou...
