I can't quite understand what the two graphs are. Is one what it is supposed to be and the other what MCNP produces through your tally? They look somewhat similar. Some nice titles explaining what they are would help. To get the tallied graph looking like the original you will need some basic...

Spin is angular momentum. Electrons in atoms can change their quantum states by flipping from up to down and at the same time changing their orbital quantum state and emitting or absorbing a photon. The unit of half-h-bar arises from representations of the symmetry group involved. Specifically...

I find the format of the video linked very annoying. They narrate over an entire episode. Eh. If I have to sit through a half hour to get what's going on I want the original. It's a bit like somebody spending an hour telling me what's for lunch.

All the math and physics you can get into you is good. Your most likely way to get a summer job (or whatever time of year, depending on the uni you go to) is something in computers. Also possible jobs with profs after hours. That could be your foot-in-the-door to working with a prof who could...

Treading on spoilers. But...

There are some fairly obvious things to remember about dating. First, you won't meet many potential dates in your own home. Get out. Do something. If it's interesting and interesting people are doing it, so much the better. If there's an excuse to talk to people in there, even better. Find...

Re: That video of Dr. Amy Acton. I really need to learn sign language. The person doing the signs seems to know things that nobody else in the vid is aware of.

It is 3:40PM Eastern, March 13. News feed says Trump is about to declare a national state of emergency. Buckle up. It's going to be a bumpy ride.

Re: Bolsonaro https://time.com/5802494/jair-bolsonaro-brazil-coronavirus/ Nope, he tested negative.

Nuclear does have such need. Sadly, nuclear is not itself in much demand with the exception of a very few countries. The USA, for example, has not built a new reactor in quite some time. Canada, my country, last finished a power reactor in the early 1990s. We built a reactor for isotopes, but...

So the sequences was the following. Data was provided for a parameter in a standardized situation. This was a source spectrum for a total volume of material. We needed the source spectrum per cubic meter. There are 100,016 cubic meters in the total volume. Simple division. So then I come...

Dirk Gently game pretty close. I only disliked about three things in the entire first season. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4047038/ And hey! There's a second season. I didn't know that until just now.

I have occasionally liked individual episodes of TV shows. I can't think of a series where I liked every episode. There were, for example, several episodes of Star Trek Next Gen that I could enjoy. Picard gets a "virtual reality" wife and children on a doomed alien planet, that was pretty...

In binary, 10 is 2 in base-10. In ternary, 10 is 3 in base-10. So the full statement would be. There are 10 types of people. Those who understand binary, and those who don't. [Pause for the pained groan "yeah, binary 10 is 2" response.] And those who didn't expect this to be a joke about...

There are 10 kinds of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who do not.
