My native language has a word for that process hence I am curious to find out if English has one. I searched for it on the Internet without success. Apart from "removing stem", I found "removing leaves" from cilantro. | 1 |
Assuming inter-universal (see here) travel is possible, can a perfectly mathematically describable universe exist inside a multiverse? If it could, would that mean that the multiverse is mathematically describable as well? (A perfectly mathematically describable universe would be perfectly predictable as well. Can one predict the future of such a universe when inter-universal travel is possible and the multiverse is not perfectly mathematically describable?) | 1 |
And if so, then why does everybody keep asserting nothing can go faster than light speed (I'm implicitly assuming there could be something which we do not observe, which goes faster than light)? | 1 |
Consider a solid yogurt. Can we assign a specific state of matter to it? I mean, it behaves like solid. However, if we "mix" it with a spoon, it becomes liquid, or at least in the usual sense. It is also quite plastic, which complicates. My current guess is that it is either a glass or a gel, but I'm quite unsure about it. | 1 |
Is open mapping theorem true for a analytic function in several variable ? I've encountered a problem, which can be solved easily if that's true. But I couldn't find that after doing some Googling | 1 |
I am looking for a expression, phrase or word that describes a person or behavior that pretends a mistake made was intentionally done so as to save face.

And you may not really expect an answer or want/need an answer. Not quite rhetorical. For example you may be talking about something that happened and wondering who did it and everyone knows who did it including yourself but you ask, 'I wonder who that was.' | 1 |
Sorry for the daft question, but, is the following a correct thing to say? "The preimage of a function f is a function iff for any element b in the range, there exists exactly one a in the domain such that f(a) = b" "A function is injective iff its pre-image is a function." Thank you. | 1 |
While showing my work to my adviser, he uttered a sentence, "You could do it better!". Is it analogous to: You could have done better OR You can do it better (so improve it)? It seems to me this sentence can mean both of these. | 1 |
Is it possible to create a certain design of a conductor to reduce eddy currents greatly? So that the magnetic "breaking" can be reduced? Is it even possible for the force generated by the eddy currents to become negligible? | 1 |
I know that when some of the previously unsolved problems were solved they created new fields in mathematics. May someone explain to me what would be the result of a major problem like the Hodge Conjecture being solved vs a "smaller" problem like "Do quasiperfect numbers exist?" in today's society. Thank you in advance. | 1 |
What exactly does a phrase 'we need to take contingency on them' mean? This is an expression I heard from a project manager so I presume it has to do smth with risk mitigation. However, I'd rather not guess. Thanks. | 1 |
I know there're various types of rhyme in English, such as slant rhyme. There're also things called assonance and consonance. I plan to rhyme "pan" with "screen". Essentially two monosyllabic words ending with "n". Obviously this is imperfect rhyme at best. Is there a linguistic term to describe this type of pairing? If so, what is it called? Thank you. | 1 |
How would I indicate, for example, that I am going to use "toms" to mean "tomatoes". Something like: Tomatoes (toms) are red. This is false as some toms are green. I like toms. | 1 |
Is the usage of "though" in the following sentence correct? It's said that it is a picture of a rabbit, but I'm sure enough that what I see is, though, a fish. Don't mind the contents. What I want to ask is whether I can use "though" that way or not. If not, why? | 1 |
"Small initial discrepancies may not be seen as meet for a federal case, particularly when the employee, trying to succeed in a nontraditional environment, is averse to making waves." Is there a legalistic meaning for meet or did the author mean to use the word meat in the text quoted above? | 1 |
I dont think so, because then the rays will intersect and the image will be real. Please let me know if you know a case in which a virtual image is formed in front of the mirror. | 1 |
I ask a question about "What is a wavefront?" which follows the question "What makes the radiation behind a slit coherent". For the wavefront it was answered, that "In electromagnetics ...(that are) the points that are at the same height." Now I'm wondering, are the wavefronts moving? | 1 |
A lemma in my lecture notes claims, as in the title, given a surjective ring homoromorphism from R to S, ideals in S are the R submodules of S (in the first paragraph - picture attached), but I can't see why this is true. Note that we are assuming all rings are commutative. . Any help very much appreciated | 1 |

I know that through the Abel Ruffini Theorem the general solution to a polynomial of degree five or more cannot be found explicitly. But are there are any other ways to find the roots of such a polynomial besides exhaustive methods like Newton's Method? The question of finding such roots arose when trying to find the the y maximum of the unit lemniscate. | 1 |
What would you call a triangular object with two sloping, concave sides? See the following image. Consider object A, object B and the entire structure as a whole; object C. What do we call object C?

I found this sentence in Collins COBUILD English Grammar. "Was the Colonel waved his paper yet?" I have no clue about what it could mean. Grammar-wise, it looks totally messed up. Is it me not getting something here or might that be an odd sort of error on the publisher's side? | 1 |
Possible Duplicate: Differences among words describing someone who is expert in many things I just wondered, what could we call a person with deep knowledge in various fields? For example, computers, music, sports, etc. I think I could use sage, but it wouldn't be appropriate if someone is experienced in multiple fields. | 1 |
Is it the case that for a harmonic function on a graph any value of the interior point is the weighted average of the boundary points? I know that for a harmonic function each point is the weighted average of its adjacent neighbors, but can you extend that to the boundary points? | 1 |
I'm very curious about how light is created. I'm trying to get back to some type of real understanding about why everything on the sub-atomic level vibrates and the implications for the preservation of both the conservation of energy and conservation of momentum. How is light created at the atomic level? | 1 |
My primary and most common example is to read something and say (or write) that it "sounds familiar". Text has no sound. I'm sure there is a technical term for this practice or phenomenon. What is it? | 1 |

And in what other areas of theoretical physics, has QFT been applied? | 1 |
In constructing the trace space on a subset of a measurable space, it seems one has to assume that the subset is an element of the original measure space's sigma algebra, i.e., measurable in the original measure space. This is not explicitly given in the problem statement. I have not found a list of errata for this book anywhere. | 1 |
I've heard in many places, educated people saying "but nevertheless...". I think both but and nevertheless have the play the same role. Is their combination, as to emphasize that what follows is opposes to the previous statement(s), allowed? Is it considered redundant or uneducated? | 1 |

I've been learning homology (and hence Category Theory) and have been interested in groupoids for some time. I've gotten to localization in categories, and that has sparked the following question: Is the localization of a category a groupoid? So going further, isn't localization a functor from Cat (the category of categories) to groupoids (which can be seen as a sub-category of Cat)? | 1 |
