    Scripting Geometry: Find nth Brillouin Zone & More

    Hey, thanks. I already wrote the script in python so this might be good to make it shinier and faster or something.

    Scripting Geometry: Find nth Brillouin Zone & More

    I want to write a script to find the nth Brillouin zone of a reciprocal net and show how it can be transposed into the 1st Brillouin zone. Kig has python scripting built into it, but it seems to be extremely limited in its use, since a script can only return a single object at a time. I'm...

    Undergrad Need help finding a derivation of the range formula

    Because of the symmetry of the parabola, the ball will hit the ground with a vertical velocity of -Vo*sin(theta). So the net change in velocity is 2*Vo*sin(theta) which takes t=2*Vo*sin(theta)/g That's a pretty hand-wavy explanation though.

    Graduate Large Hadron Collider Black Holes

    I understand that if black holes were created in the LHC, they should evaporate in 10^-100 seconds and be created at 1 black hole per second. The collider produces 10^8 collisions per second. The lifespan of a black hole increases with mass^3. I was wondering whether it would be possible for a...
