A How Can Skeletal Models and Physics Help Us Understand Pain Perception?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the use of skeletal models and physics to simulate pain perception, with a focus on understanding the relationship between movement vectors, delta time, mass, and collision impact. The original poster expresses a desire to create a system that can quantify pain without malicious intent. However, the topic raises ethical concerns, drawing parallels to the Milgram experiments, which explored obedience and the infliction of pain. Participants in the discussion find the subject disturbing and suggest closing the thread due to its sensitive nature. The conversation highlights the complexities of studying pain perception through a scientific lens.

TL;DR Summary
Given a movement vector, delta time, mass and size in a collision how much pain would it cause to a person (This is just simulation)?
I am not cooking up a torture device or a weapon. In fact, I have been spending time with skeletal models. I just want to be able to create the ability to perceive pain. Even if I were to try to work this out myself and get some kind of answer that relates to physics, how would I know for sure what it means?

. I just want to be able to create the ability to perceive pain.
What?
 
This is a disturbing topic. Its reminescent of the Milgram experiments in pain perception and people inflicting the pain on others as part of obedience to some authority.

We think its best to close this thread now.

Thread 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field'

Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...

Thread 'Off resonance driving of a MW/RF cavity'

Hello! Let's say I have a cavity resonant at 10 GHz with a Q factor of 1000. Given the Lorentzian shape of the cavity, I can also drive the cavity at, say 100 MHz. Of course the response will be very very weak, but non-zero given that the Loretzian shape never really reaches zero. I am trying to understand how are the magnetic and electric field distributions of the field at 100 MHz relative to the ones at 10 GHz? In particular, if inside the cavity I have some structure, such as 2 plates...
