PeroK replied to the thread Math Math major jobs in the space industry.Most people these days would refer that question to an LLM. -
PeroK replied to the thread Undergrad What empirical observation supports the axiom of continuous spacetime?.Because it makes the mathematics easier. -

We have a theoretical model of white holes. That model is what @Ibix's post was describing. Please be aware that personal speculation... -

We have mathematical models, the ones you are relying on when you talk about white holes at all. They look nothing like the FLRW... -

Skeptical.
How would we even know anything about whiteholes? No one has observed one yet. I will be greatful if you can explain what happens to all... -

[Moderator's note: Spun off into a new thread due to topic change.] Is it possible that everything consumed by a black hole is so... -

Yes, I went ahead and calculated the limit using Taylor series the other night...it's alot easier this way than trying to simplify... -
PeroK replied to the thread High School Taking a limit and getting the wrong answer...don't know why.Here's a solution using Taylor Series: $$\tan x = x + \frac{x^3}{3} + \dots$$$$\sin x = x - \frac{x^3}{6} + \dots$$$$\tan x - \sin x =... -
PeroK replied to the thread High School Taking a limit and getting the wrong answer...don't know why.Here's something interesting, and possibly useful: In this case, we needed ##t'''(0)##, where ##t(x) = \tan x##. Note that: $$t'(x) =... -
PeroK replied to the thread High School Taking a limit and getting the wrong answer...don't know why.You can apply L'Hopital directly. Let ##t(x) = \tan x## and ##s(x) = \sin x##, then: $$t'(x) = \frac 1 {\cos^2 x}, \ t''(x) =... -
PeroK replied to the thread Undergrad Is this proof "by contradiction" or "by contrapositive"?.It's explicitly a proof by contradiction. But, a specific type of contradiction is to contradict the initial hypothesis. That means that... -
PeroK replied to the thread Seeking clarity on the physical definition of an observer.Regarding questions 2 and 3, one suggestion is to read Feynman's book on QED:The Strange Theory of Light and Matter. It doesn't cover... -

I did see an example of this limit being solved with the substitution you mentioned, and it does make things a bit easier to visualize. -
PeroK replied to the thread High School Taking a limit and getting the wrong answer...don't know why.I would have been tempted to try letting ##y = \sin x##. I don't know if that helps.
