  1. I present to you a #Newtonian #gravity #physics #simulator that can simulate gravity for up to 30 bodies and their rings... a result of my farting around with #Claude, who loves doing the UI rendering/shading code and coordinate transformations that I hate doing. It's not serious #science or #astronomy, nor is it novel. It's just #hacking with #python, but it's been #fun. #opensource gitlab.com/opalmirror/stellar-

    Right - so 2 basic ways to look at it:

    Each specialty branch comes up with their own perspectives, priorities/hierarchies, and jargon. With few exceptions, they stay in their own lanes and do not mix outside their field/subfield. Their writings are stand-alone, rarely intended to connect back to the greater human knowledge base. They'll tell you exactly what "wet" or "sound" is, based entirely on their tiny-desk world-view.

    The other way would be a general model of vibration, perhaps based on quantitative info rather than qualitative. It would incorporate all modes of vibratory phenomena, regardless of mediums, velocities, or other characteristics that were fleshed out by some subfield as critical for their particular context & definitions.

    Frequency (Hz) actually would be a good quantitative baseline for this, if it hadn't been exorcised from #quantum mechanics.

    The "old QM", as espoused by the founders and historic supporters for the split in Physics, used a semi-classical approach that was later abandoned. Later, Pi was added to E = hf as convenience for some aspects, but frequency generally falls away when you work with quantum states ala Schrödinger. #Time is just an input to QM, and is the #Newtonian, absolute kind. The concepts of frequency & wavelength seem to get in the way of the probabilistic formalism.

    IMO, the #probabilistic formalism then gets in the way of a #relativistic completion to quantum theory being developed, though in reality, there is no limit to the imaginative supplemental mathematic epicycles that can be added while still spitting out the same expected answers.

    My rather standard 6 inch Newtonian telescope produced terrible spikes on bright objects, especially Mars.

    I replaced the 3 vane spider (secondary mount) with this curved secondary and it eliminated spikes produced by bright targets.

  26. A friend just sent me the below to discuss the parallels between #Magee and #Rosen in rejecting a #Newtonian theoretical framework for the #social, or for #life (around 13:55). I'm happy to have such friends.
