3:00 AM

every time you change your name?

I don't know you

@0celo7 Technically you don't know us anyways.

We're internet.

user218912

no @0celo7 knows how I look.

@bloo Huh, really?

user218912

yes and likewise.

what?

I don't know you

user218912

3:02 AM

@0celo7 I had a skype photo of myself for a few weeks 1 year ago.

user218912

@0celo7 yes you do.

I DON'T KNOW YOU STOP CREEPING

Isn't this a physics chat?

user218912

I'm not creeping. that offends me, should I flag it?

I'm still trying to figure out polytropes.

user218912

3:04 AM

@SirCumference what don't you understand?

@bloo What on Earth I should put for $\theta$, or $\xi$, etc.

@bloo But yeah, try not to change your name too often.

user218912

I have to figure out a name that I like.

@0celo7 changes his profile pic and I never realize who he is at first

Every time

user218912

@SirCumference 15.2.3 and the eqn above 15.2.4

Ugh...

more reading

3:08 AM

@bloo Yes

Always flag when you're severely offended

@bloo That doesn't show $\xi$

@0celo7 Whose logic is that?

Mine

Why would you use that logic?

user218912

@SirCumference well it's reasonable logic.

@bloo -_-

Flags aren't for offensive messages

Sep 29 at 9:47, by David Z

Don't use chat flags except for seriously inappropriate messages. We've had a problem with inappropriate chat flagging for a while, and more so recently.

user228700

3:10 AM

Hi :-)

They're for "seriously inappropriate messages"

user228700

@MAFIA36790: Are u there?

user218912

@SirCumference yes it does.

user218912

it's a dimensionless radius.

@bloo Screenshot?

user218912

3:10 AM

it's related to the density.

user218912

$\xi = r/r_n$

GRAAAAAAAHHHHHH

More equations!

user218912

well get used to it if you want to do astrophysics.

Goddammit, is there no way to easily relate pressure with density?

This is like a goose chase

user218912

we're done I think.

user218912

3:12 AM

you have everything you need to understand that part of the paper.

Each time I try to read about an equation, I find another equation I need to read about

@bloo Except the mathematics background it requires...

That seems kind of important.

user218912

@SirCumference thing is

user218912

even if you read the paper right now and "understand" it, you still don't understand it fully because if you were to read that paper 10 years from now when you're an astrophysicist you will see things that you missed reading it now.

user218912

or even if you read it in 1 more year

user218912

you will have a different perspective on it and get more out of it.

3:14 AM

At what point should I read it?

Or should I just keep postponing so I can learn more?

user218912

when you can read it without having to look things up. (to some extent is ok)

user218912

or when you look things up and you immediately understand them.

I've brought this up with a graduate student. Even he has no idea what a polytrope is.

@bloo Most of that paper I immediately understand. The polytrope part, I don't.

user218912

@SirCumference then he's not a good graduate student. xD

Tell that to him XD

Space exploration chat

user218912

3:15 AM

graduate students come in a lot of varieties.

grad student in what field

@0celo7 Physics and astronomy.

yeah not very good then

Bring that up with him then, on the space exploration chat.

He's on with me right now.

@bloo wtf XD

3:18 AM

The Pod Bay

General discussion for space.stackexchange.com. Check our sche...

Bloo just joined and posted

user218912

I don't know much fluid mechanics either but I don't require it for what I'm interested in.

user218912

I do know that astrophysics requires it a lot.

user218912

and also I'm a freshman xD

Really? 18?

I'm 18

3:20 AM

@0celo7 Yeah but you're a sophomore.

user218912

ikr

So?

@bloo Well anyways, high fives

I knew what a polytrope was in Junior year

it's in Zee

user218912

@SirCumference why?

3:20 AM

@0celo7 Screw it. I can't deal with this.

user218912

@0celo7 gravity book?

Yes

How would you know what a polytrope was?

user218912

oh yeah @0celo7 should I read zee or carroll?

You don't study astronomy!

3:21 AM

If you're going to go look, maybe it's not in there :P

user218912

@SirCumference he read the book "einstein gravity in a nutshell"

But it IS in Weinberg, guaranteed.

@0celo7 Okay, go ahead. Enlighten me.

And I got Weinberg for Christmas Junior year, and it was in there.

What's a polytrope?

3:21 AM

I told you earlier.

The equation of state is $\rho=p^\gamma$ or something.

Fuck this.

the metric is computed in Weinberg, I think

user218912

@SirCumference just read tong's notes

user218912

they're more addictive than technical papers

@bloo That true?

Sigh...all right then.

There an audiobook?

user218912

3:23 AM

no lol

Kidding

Can I watch the movie instead?

user218912

for what?

Those notes.

I've got a lot of reading to do.

Currently pissing off my gf even more

make me stop

user218912

k I'm done with you. ._. (for now)

3:24 AM

@bloo DDOS the UTK servers

user218912

@0celo7 why

user218912

huh?

She's really bothered I wouldn't be jealous of her eating dinner with another guy while we're in different states

user218912

@0celo7 lol

user218912

doesn't that mean you're a good bf?

3:25 AM

@bloo That's true

I think so

Apparently sometimes she wants me to be jealous, idk

@bloo Well the grad student responded to you

user218912

@SirCumference idc

@0celo7 Tell her you're jealous and you're just acting cool

or some nonsense like that

user218912

@0celo7 at least you have a gf... :(

3:26 AM

Whatever makes it better

@bloo Welcome to the club, buddy... :(

@SirCumference no

Jesus you guys are savage with him in the space ex chat...

no, that would not work

oh god I just got an essay text

user218912

@SirCumference I don't want to be in the club though. :(

@bloo Nor do I. :/

I thought asking a girl out would be easier by the time I was in college.

It wasn't.

user218912

3:30 AM

@SirCumference thing is I don't like anyone right now xD

@bloo Haven't found anyone I like here either lol

But I still doubt I'd have the guts

user218912

show her your immense knowledge of astrophysics facts and she'll ask you out.

user218912

100%

(doubtful)

@bloo Yeah, I'll tell her she's so hot and bright, she produces over $10^{33}$ watts per second

user218912

3:32 AM

don't say that.

she's moving the goalposts

@bloo So then what's your plan?

How do I swoon a girl with nerdiness?

get built

user218912

be like 0celo7

@0celo7 I work out pretty often.

3:33 AM

oh what does that mean

@SirCumference Are you orthodox?

aha

@0celo7 Nope. Conservative.

I have uncovered her real issue

Oh boy...

user116211

@0celo7 That she is a commie?

@SirCumference So you don't wear the hat and have a rat tail?

3:34 AM

@0celo7 I don't wear a yarmulke, no.

@MAFIA36790 :P

No idea what a "rat tail" is supposed to mean.

@SirCumference no, the top hat

@0celo7 No.

user image

3:34 AM

If you looked at me, you wouldn't know I'm religious in any way.

@0celo7 Again, no.

user116211

@Kaumudi: I'm currently clearing the review queue; you don't have to ping me to ask something; just ask, if I have something to contribute, I shall.

just get a girl then

@0celo7 I never said that...

@0celo7 Do I flag this because it's offensive?

user218912

@SirCumference if you want 0celo7 to disappear for 30 mins.

@bloo Eh, I'm not evil.

3:36 AM

good point @bloo

@bloo explain this

:P

user228700

@MAFIA36790 Sorry. I figured that w/o pinging you, you wouldn't be able to spot my message in these flood of messages.

user218912

@0celo7 be intelligent af in physics and math and not nerdy at the same time.

Say, @bloo, how do you find messages that are like a year old?

user218912

@SirCumference search option.

3:37 AM

@bloo Aren't those two mutually exclusive?

user218912

@SirCumference no, an example is 0celo7.

@bloo Explain.

What does 0celo have?

Yes, explain pls

user218912

wtf?

@bloo What?

3:39 AM

I'm confused too

user218912

because

user218912

Sep 16 at 2:45, by 0celo7

I'm not a nerd.

well yeah but you have to prove that

I could be lying.

user116211

@bloo He is a different 0celo.

@bloo Okay, how do you go back a year?

user218912

3:40 AM

@SirCumference that's not a year, but I used the search option to find it.

1 hour ago, by 0celo7

I never lie

user218912

@MAFIA36790 OH that makes so much sense now

user218912

one of the 0celo7s is a nerd

@bloo Wait what

user116211

@bloo yes.

user218912

3:41 AM

the other 0celo7s are cool guys.

user218912

who don't study

user218912

but since they're the same person

user116211

@bloo nods

So there's 0celo1-6?

user218912

they share the knowledge of the nerd.

user218912

3:42 AM

@SirCumference more than that.

@bloo Oh god.

It's happening.

Rise of the 0celos

@SirCumference is there really no one you like?

user218912

0celo7 is an infinite superposition of 0celo7s

@0celo7 Not yet.

btw you're in college now so guys are also potential mates

just saying

3:43 AM

@0celo7 Uh, no thanks.

@bloo yes, good

I am a fourier series of 0celo(n) modes

@0celo7 Anyway why would it even matter if it were college or not?

b/c you're away from parents who are probably judgemental

user218912

but you're assuming he's into that.

Yeah, I'm happy being straight...

3:45 AM

@bloo A stark minority of people are 100% heterosexual.

@SirCumference Sigh.

@0celo7 I was about to say "Sigh"

user218912

@SirCumference do you want to get banned?

@bloo That's what he's implying!

I swear!

Most parents PERIOD are judgmental.

user116211

@SirCumference Non-straight guys are banned in India, just by the by.

3:46 AM

Well, I guess I'm an idiot.

Forget me.

user218912

and wifi turns off in 3-2-1...

@bloo Wait what

@bloo ?

user218912

@0celo7 remember last year my parents would turn off the wifi at like 11?

user218912

well they still do that and I was expecting them to do it in the next 5 minutes.

3:48 AM

dude you're 18

tell them to cut it out

^

Well I'd just kind of ask them

well, yeah

Tell them you're 18.

don't be a dick about it

^

3:48 AM

@SirCumference where have you been looking?

@0celo7 I dunno man, why do you care?

For all you know I might be your brother.

user218912

it's not because of childhood limits, it's because my mom thinks having the wifi on at night gives harmful radiation that will cause cancer. sigh

user116211

@SirCumference nay.

@bloo You're a physics major (presumably)

Tell her the facts.

@SirCumference He is married with children.

user218912

3:49 AM

@SirCumference yes.

user218912

I did.

user218912

she's like "research has shown..."

user218912

bla bla bla

.-.

lol

get #rekt by your mom

user218912

3:50 AM

lol

@bloo HAH

Why wifi at night?

Would that be different than daytime?

user116211

@SirCumference What?

YES I'VE FIGURED HER OUT

> because my mom thinks having the wifi on at night gives harmful radiation

3:51 AM

I'm winning...

@0celo7 What, the mom's research or your gf?

gf

I realize now that was a stupid question...

Howdy @Daniel

user218912

@SirCumference because the wifi router is beside their bed.

@SirCumference 'sup?

user218912

3:52 AM

and they're not in the room during the day.

@MAFIA36790 o/

@DanielSank Polytropes

@bloo lol

user116211

@DanielSank \o

@SirCumference wut?

3:53 AM

hi @DanielSank

@0celo7 Hi.

@DanielSank The worst things ever.

Still trying to figure them out.

user116211

@SirCumference Wait... you didn't figure it out yet after such a mammoth conversation?

@MAFIA36790 Well rather, I'm still trying to figure out that damn constant

user218912

@SirCumference I gave you the formula for it.

3:54 AM

@bloo That formula is hella complicated

user218912

well astrophysics is complicated.

It requires more formulae, which require more formulae...

user218912

@SirCumference that's life.

It's a never ending tree of formulae

The formultree

user116211

@SirCumference What would happen when you study actual hardcore maths?

3:55 AM

@MAFIA36790 I'll manage...I think

in The Pod Bay, 1 min ago, by Phiteros

@0celo7 In general relativity? I didn't do astrophysics in undergrad, just physics with an astronomy concentration. I'm literally about 2 months into my grad studies.

user218912

@0celo7 lol...

@SirCumference Should I destroy this man?

@0celo7 No...

Please don't

Ok.

For you

3:56 AM

He's a nice guy, he tried helping out...

;)

user218912

what would you say @0celo7

Bye, everybody.

user218912

the fact that he called GR astrophysics?

user218912

does that trigger you?

user116211

3:56 AM

@DanielSank What?

No, that he should have had GR as an undergrad.

user116211

@DanielSank o/

user218912

@0celo7 well yeah

Well then again I should've had better calculus in high school

And physics

user218912

@SirCumference no.

user218912

3:57 AM

you should have learned yourself.

user218912

like me and 0celo7

user116211

@0celo7 Punish him, dude.

user218912

(except i'm a bad example)

@bloo I did learn physics myself

user218912

@SirCumference not enough clearly.

user116211

3:58 AM

@SirCumference We all learnt physics by ourselves.

I rushed it to finish an SAT II

@bloo damn

@0celo7 He's right.

It aggravates me a ton.

user218912

or rather, you learned the wrong physics.

user218912

maybe you did learn a lot, but just not what you need.

3:58 AM

@bloo "Wrong physics"?

I know I learned the wrong math

Like ship navigating

user218912

like useless facts etc.

user218912

just sayin

user116211

@SirCumference That's not physics.

> wrong math

user116211

@SirCumference You won't want to be a pirate, would you?
