Dale replied to the thread I What does equiprobable mean in the context of thermal motion?.On average that is true. So the numbers 0.188, 0.268, and -0.456 are randomly distributed from a standard normal distribution, but none... -
Dale replied to the thread I What does equiprobable mean in the context of thermal motion?.I don’t think those images are good. They give the impression that every molecule is going outward from a single point. They also give...

Dale replied to the thread I What does equiprobable mean in the context of thermal motion?.If I understand your question then the answer is no. Instead, what you can say is that you have equal probability for V1 and V2...

Like.
I don't think so. I explain the Ergodic hypothesis as the claim that 1 system repeatedly subjected to the same experiment a million... -
Dale reacted to Herman Trivilino's post in the thread I What does equiprobable mean in the context of thermal motion? with Like.
If I understand your question, the answer would be any vector not parallel to the y-axis will have a nonzero x-component. Not sure what...

Dale replied to the thread I What does equiprobable mean in the context of thermal motion?.This is a statement of the isotropy of physics. There is no specific direction in the universe where things naturally align. The...

Dale replied to the thread I Conventionality of the One-Way Speed of Light.The conventionality of the one way speed of light (OWSOL) was recognized from the very beginning. In the seminal paper On the...

Dale reacted to TensorCalculus's post in the thread Suggestion Show pronouns of a person? with Like.
Okay so a simple one here: would you be able to show the pronouns of a user simply by hovering over their profile picture, instead of...

Dale reacted to kuruman's post in the thread B Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it? with Like.
I think that the first manned Moon landing in 1969 was a spectacular solution to the 3-body problem. I scrimped and saved for three...

Dale replied to the thread B Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?.It is interesting to know that the first computers (e.g. the ENIAC) were built specifically to conveniently calculate non-analytical...

Dale reacted to PeroK's post in the thread B Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it? with Like.
The problem is that there are hardly any standard functions: polynomials, trig functions, exponential and logs. That's about it. There...

Dale replied to the thread B Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?.I can definitely say it is solved because it is. Prediction in no way requires an analytical solution. Quite the opposite. To make a...

Dale replied to the thread B Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?.Again, it is already solved. And assuming energy conservation and no collision will not make the solution analytic.

Dale replied to the thread B Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?.It is already solved. The solution is just not analytic.

Dale replied to the thread I Energy of Electromagnetic Waves in Destructive Interference.The reason I said it is that energy is conserved if you arrange for a bright center or if you arrange for a dark center. Energy flows...
