Hi everyone,

New member here. Just want to say hello and that I'm excited to be a part of the community! Passionate about quantum physics and looking to expand my knowledge & understanding.

Welcome to the PF, Kate. You look to be a very accomplished musician. Can you link to your favorite song that you've performed? If you'd rather not, that's okay.

Thank you for the warm welcome, berkeman! Thoughtful of you to ask about the music. Here's a link to one of the songs:

Beautiful. Thank you.

BTW, I updated the link to the video -- for some reason it didn't link correctly. No big deal.

How did you end up with such diverse interests in music and physics? Your first technical post here is quite a good question:

Summary:: Would it be theoretically possible to have a planet in a binary star system where there is a daily "pre-sunrise" and a "pre (or post) sunset" due to the dimmer star?

From what I gather, there are S-type, P-type & T-type systems, but I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around the orbital possibilities. Would it be theoretically possible to have a planet in a binary star system where there is a daily "pre-sunrise" and a "pre (or post) sunset" due to the dimmer star? And could there be daily syzygy with the stars or might it need to be less frequent? If anyone can advise, it would be so appreciated! Thank you!

Thank you so much for the kind feedback! Nice of you to fix the link :)

I've been fascinated with quantum mechanics for decades and I just finished the first draft of a sci-fi novel that takes place in a binary star system. Trying to make sure I have my facts straight before handing over to agent and going around in circles with the orbital patterns lol

Welcome to PF!

Your music is very nice.

Have you read Susskind's Theoretical Minimum book on QM? It strives to teach QM to folks like you who've always wanted to learn it in greater depth than a pop sci article or book on it.

He has online lectures you can follow too just search on Susskind and Theoretical Minimum. The math used is minimal mostly Calculus where he explains what's going on too.

Thank you, jedishrfu! Awesome! I have not read Susskind--excited to check that out! I really appreciate the rec!

Very punny...
