    Trying to decide which programming language I want to learn

    C++ is an old language but still one of the most important (the other one is Java, a much slower and buggy and annoying language), and it's very fast. The new alternative to C++ is Rust. And would also suggest Julia, the future for scientific programming. It's a very fast and capable...

    I What is the meaning of constant speed of light?

    What would happen if I hooked one end of an undeformable string to one of those distant galaxies and I leave the other end near to us free? What would be the relative speed between us and that free end? I understand that no massive object can be accelerated beyond the speed of light.

    I What is the meaning of constant speed of light?

    Things are more difficult than that. Distant galaxies seem to be moving away at a speed much greater than c. (very high Z). The common explanation is because that "extra" speed is due to the expansion of the universe. Can anyone explain exactly how the maximum speed limit is taken into...

    B Why do most of the celestial bodies rotate about their axis?

    Having a zero rotational speed (still) is just one among all the possible (infinite) rotational speeds. The probability of having that zero value instead of any of the others is almost zero, there is no reason to favor one over the other. That doesn't mean all values are equally probable, but...

    A What's the best quantum simulator?

    What are the most advanced quantum development tool or simualtors? Microsoft has a new tool, called Microsoft Quantum Development Kit, and there are other I haven't commented yet, Rigetti Forest, ProjectQ, QuTiP, OpenFermion, Qbsolv, ScaffCC, Raytheon BBN… Any comparison of its capabilities?

    I Gravitational Waves vs Universe Expansion Rate

    Is there any relationship between the Speed of gravitational waves and the Universe's "local" expansion rate? Speed of gravitational waves is supposed to be equal to the speed of light. Gravitational waves don't travel faster than light. But we can observe far galaxies moving away from us with...

    What are the best books for learning Quantum Computing?

    But this book is quite old, I expected to find some kind of "new" Nielsen's book.

    A What's the best quantum simulator?

    And could you also let me know your opinion about the applications I've listed above, please? Or about the different languages used to describe the computer.
