A Relation between Rosenbluth Potentials and Spitzer Resistivity

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between Rosenbluth potentials and Spitzer resistivity in plasma physics. It highlights that both methods involve solving the Boltzmann equation and addressing the collisional term. The inquiry focuses on whether Spitzer's conductivity results can be derived using Rosenbluth potentials. The connection between these two approaches is crucial for understanding plasma behavior. Ultimately, the dialogue emphasizes the importance of exploring different methodologies in plasma conductivity analysis.

TL;DR
Is it possible to derive the Spitzer resistivity using Rosenblith potentials?
I know that Spitzer derived the conductivity of plasma in his famous 1952 paper. I just wonder if this result can be derived by Rosenblith potentials because they both encouner solving Boltzman equation and carefullt treating the collisional term.
 

Thread 'Gravitational effects of a small black hole passing your body'

Abstract The gravitational effects of a Primordial Black Hole (PBH) passing through the human body are examined, with the goal of determining the minimum mass necessary to produce significant injury or death. Two effects are examined: The damage caused by a shock wave propagating outward from the black hole trajectory, and the dissociation of brain cells from tidal forces produced by the black hole on its passage through the human body. It is found that the former is the dominant effect...
