AI Thread Summary
To understand airy beams, a foundational knowledge of optics is essential, as well as a grasp of calculus and other mathematical concepts. Numerous books on optics are available that can help build this knowledge. It is recommended to start with basic optics principles before progressing to more complex topics. Engaging with educational resources, such as online courses or tutorials, can also be beneficial. A structured approach to learning these subjects will facilitate a better comprehension of airy beams.

I came across this article was incredibly interested. I've read the paper and the material was completely over my head. What should I, with a high school level education and no background in optics, do to have a complete understanding of the topic discussed in the paper? What sciences would I have to learn to get it? Many thanks.

You need to learn about optics in general. There are plenty of books on the subject, but you'd also need to dive into calculus and other math as well.

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
