    I How feasible is home radio astronomy?

    No, what you actually said was: (Emphasis added.) So please clarify: how big must must a parabolic dish be to receive astronomical 21cm signals?

    Alas, I missed it due to a scheduling conflict. Did anyone else hop on the Zoom meeting?

    Direction of the magnetic field of an oscillating charge

    How about integrating Faraday's law ##\nabla\times\vec{E}=-\frac{\partial\vec{B}}{\partial t}## w.r.t. time ##t## to get ##\vec{B}=-\int\nabla\times\vec{E}\,dt\,##?

    A Free surface problem in electrohydrodynamics

    So do you agree that the authors meant to write ##\nabla## and that their eq.(2) is therefore not nonsense?

    A Free surface problem in electrohydrodynamics

    I think that ##\nabla^2## is just a typo; it should instead be the vector-operator ##\nabla## according to Fick's laws of diffusion. The Fick diffusion electric current is distinct from the ohmic drift electric current. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion_current.

    A Free surface problem in electrohydrodynamics

    OK, I can see from your attached paper that you are quite knowledgeable regarding EHD, so providing a detailed answer to your question is clearly above my pay grade! I will only comment that, just as the shape and evolution of a free surface must be computed from the fluid dynamics, I would...

    Using AI in experimental physics

    Here's an upcoming presentation from the grad school I attended about applying AI to fundamental physics, namely, analyzing high-energy scattering data: (https://universitydevelopment.cmail20.com/t/d-e-gamhk-hliyjihltk-u/)

    A Free surface problem in electrohydrodynamics

    You say in the first line of your abstract: Research on free-surface flows in electrohydrodynamics has predominantly focused on the limiting cases of perfectly conducting and perfectly insulating fluids. But magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), which is the shortened name of what Alfvén originally called...

    A Free surface problem in electrohydrodynamics

    The OP posits a fluid medium with a constant bulk charge density and so it carries a nonzero total charge. Assuming that the fluid does not extend to infinity in any direction, it can therefore be completely surrounded by a closed surface. The integral of the normal electric field over this...

    A tragedy indeed. And I must say I did a double-take at the birth- and death-dates. I hadn't before encountered Buddhist Era (BE) dates, which are apparently 543 years ahead of the Gregorian calendar.

    I Maxwell stress tensor

    No, the two expressions ##\nabla\cdot\vec{E}## and ##\vec{E}\cdot\nabla## are very different. The first is simply the scalar quantity ##\nabla\cdot\vec{E}=\frac{\partial E_{x}}{\partial x}+\frac{\partial E_{y}}{\partial y}+\frac{\partial E_{z}}{\partial z}##, whereas the second is the...
