I’m trying to find a movie that I saw as a kid in 1964 or 1965, at the cinema. I had always assumed it was She, the 1965 film adaptation of Rider Haggard’s 1887 novel, She: A History of Adventure, but now realise that it wasn’t. It’s about a group of modern day explorers who find a lost undergrou...

I'm an Arcanist. This time I want to go heavily for save-or-die and save-or-suck spells, kind of a dark wizard fantasy. To do this I need to maximize my chances of actually affecting enemies with my spells. I already know I need to use Persistent Spell and maximize my main stat for spell DC. Nest...

Common in sci-fi tropes but absolutely climactic nonetheless, a spaceship faces impending doom after encountering a gravity well such as a stellar black hole.

Thinking about the four square theorem and related questions, I found myself wondering: What is the minimal density of a set $A \subset \{0, 1, 2, ... \}$ such that $A + A = \mathbb{N}$? What I know: If A has less than quadratic density, then $A + A$ is not $\mathbb{N}$ by a simple counting argu...

(Note: I'm a beginner in antenna theory) When browsing for low cost antennas online, there seems to be class of monopole antennas that have a built in coil or two into the monopole, and are advertised to be suitable for operation in the GHz range despite being 200~300mm in length. For example: Q...

Sometimes I see a claim like "80% of respondents agreed" and I think "what was your sample size? 5?" because, of course, with a sample size of 5 it's possible to get 80% to agree on something. If the claim is "47% of respondents agreed" then I know it must be a larger sample size.[1] challenge Gi...

Another very specific question: How would you approach modelling this shape? I have 0 experience with animal/organic shapes like this so it's a bit outside my wheelhouse.

I'm running Ventura 13.4 on an M2 MacBook Air. I run the FT8 and FT4 digital modes for ham radio. FT8/4 requires fairly accurate time synchronization. It seems that macOS gets out of sync when waking up from sleep. (See Time.apple.com sync). The solution for better time synchronization is to run ...

Let $f(x)$ be differentiable twice and for which it's true that $f(0) = f'(0) = 1$ and $f''(x) > \frac{1}{x^2 + 1}$ for all values of $x$. Prove that $\forall x \ge 1: f(x) > 2$. I thought this might be solvable using Taylor's theorem. Around the point $0$, $f$ can be written as $f(x) = f(0) + f...
