Ah that's right, ##\sum_i a_{i0}^3 = 0## should hold 😅. Using only first order polynomials, there are four equations, $$ \sum_i a_{i0}^3 = 0 ~, \quad 3 \sum_i a_{i1}a_{i0}^2 = m ~, \quad 3 \sum_i a_{i0}a_{i1}^2 = 0 ~, \quad \sum_i a_{i1}^3 = 0 ~. $$

Not to leave it hanging. ##p_1, p_2, p_3## such that ##a_{10}=a_{20}=a_{30}=1## and ##a_{11}=a_{12}=1##, ##a_{13}=-1## should work.

Thus space sports. Although as far as space is concerned, I was wondering whether or not telling "junior" to study nuclear plasma physics for the future of space jet fuel would be the right thing.

My guess is that your answer is "yes, it is possible to multitask." Maybe I'll have the vision thing figured out one day.

Lol, I haven't determined that yet. Vision as well? I figured musicians could handle an ensemble of sounds, but also drawing artists? Sounds neat. Well thanks for the answers.

People cannot visually focus on more than one thing without going cross-eyed. Is the same true for mentally concentrating on multiple tasks? Like reading and listening to two different things at the same time when studying? Is there a trick that choreographers or performance artists know? Or...

I figured a lot of the shift to EVs is green financing, i.e. a momentary bridge between today and future technologies, despite their imperfections. Although I am unawares of the actual financial solutions involved (and of course the politics). I got the impression that many solutions for...

80 years, is it. Sounds neat, but probably beyond my gait at the moment.

Dang.

It was after listening to podcasts on Freeman Dyson two or three years ago that I was convinced that our best bet at Earth-Moon navigating was somewhere along the lines of a nuclear-chemical pulsed transmission. And I guess the subject matter leads itself into plasma physics somehow. (Funny...

I take it that the relative value of any currency is prorated by the country's gross national product GNP?

"As good as gold." - Charles Dickens "You cannot teach debt to children." - anon So I read not too long ago a bit on the debate on returning to the gold standard during the Reagan administration and the issuing of gold bonds by the Treasury. Then I began questioning the nature of the gold...

Lol, none so far 😅. Maybe another forum.

How is it that the early Greeks and Romans had such well-sculpted statues of human figures, but not so well-drawn people on canvas or other 2D surfaces?
