Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the feasibility of creating a C++ program to model the movements of binary stars around a black hole. It touches on the broader context of programming languages used in scientific computing and modeling.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about the possibility of modeling binary star movements around a black hole using C++.
  • Another participant questions the intent behind the request, suggesting it may be an attempt to delegate work.
  • A participant clarifies their intention to create the program themselves and seeks confirmation on the feasibility of such a model in C++.
  • Another participant states that having the necessary equations would enable them to implement the model easily, mentioning that similar work can be done in other programming languages like Java, Fortran, and Matlab.
  • It is noted that C++ and Fortran are among the most commonly used programming languages in scientific computing and modeling.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the intent behind the initial request, but there is no consensus on the specific feasibility of the modeling task itself.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not provide specific equations or details on the modeling approach, leaving assumptions about the necessary mathematical framework unresolved.

Could you write a C++ program modeling the movements of a binary star around a black hole?
 
Technology news on Phys.org
i.e you want someone else to do the work for you?

no. I want to create a program myself. I only want to know if it is possible to create a C++ program that models the behavior of stars and other object in the universe
 
Well if i got the equations, I could easily do it. Works with Java, Fortran, Matlab etc. aswell.

C++ and Fortran are perhaps the most used programming languages in scientific computing and modelling.
