Consider: "What are you up to right now?" "I hope to secure an appointment with her." As opposed to: "What were you up to just then?" "I was hoping to secure an appointment with her." Yes, I know it sounds "more natural." But: why does it? | 0 |
What's a good way to make an interleaved layout having text blocks aligned to one side and images/graphics aligned to the opposite? Or in other words: Imagine a raster of a three column layout where the text spans over the left and center layout column and the images span over the center and right column. | 0 |
There is the famous isomorphism theorem for measure spaces: All separable nonatomic normalized measure algebras are mutually isomorphic. what about an atomic normalized measure algebras? Is it possible to establish an isomorphism or a measure-preserving transformation from an atomic normalized measure algebra into the measure algebra of the unit interval? These theorems would be helpful in understanding my qeustion. Any help would be appreciated. | 0 |
Simple question: what is the verb for the phase change from gas (or any other "regular" state of matter) to plasma? The best thing I can think of is "ionization into a plasma" but is there a nice, one-word equivalent counterpart to other phase change verbs like melting, boiling, subliming, etc? | 0 |
The sun emits white light, which is a mixture of light from all frequencies. Instead, it should have emitted a beam of light of the same frequency, as the source is the same? So, can you please explain why the sun emits light in all frequencies? | 0 |
Yes, I know this package can generate structure from .mol and SMILES files. I'd like to know: is it possible to follow the reverse path, i.e. once the structure has been drawn with chemfig, generate the .mol file and/or the SMILES? | 0 |

I recently wrote, on Stack Exchange, in regard to the books of the bible : ... Paul, Mark and Luke's contributions ... I did so instinctively and afterwards realised what I had done. Am I wrong to 'bracket' together without fully stating : ... Paul's, Mark's and Luke's contributions ... | 0 |
Why doesn't water inside a glass enter a straw when you close the top of the straw before putting it inside the glass. Shouldn't the atmospheric and pressure of water push the water into the straw since I would assume that the pressure inside of the straw is the same as atmospheric pressure which is lesser. | 0 |
I was reading my book and came across that sample median is unbiased estimate for symmetry distribution with finite expectation. I was able to proof this but is this true for Cauchy distribution? Since mean does not exist for Cauchy distribution. And how can I show that it's an unbiased or biased estimator depending on the result? | 0 |
In this question here, it was asked whether a black hole could emit protons with energies exceeding the GZK limit via Hawking radiation, the answer given was yes. So I ask, what proportion if observed GZK exceeding cosmic rays could realistically have been produced by said process? | 0 |

It has been proved by the Red Shift that universe is expanding. But if the universe is actually expanding, it needs energy to do so. I also do not know that with expansion in universe if mass increases. My question is from where do the universe get the energy to expand? How does it not violate the law of conservation of energy? | 0 |

Today I learned several vocabs including "adhere to". Also the teacher said that "New rules are adhere to" is also grammatically correct and used normally. However, I think that it feels weird to me because it ends with preposition "to". Can anyone help? | 0 |
The meme-y term "dummy thicc" uses "dummy" as an intensifier modifying "thicc" (meaning curvy). How common is this usage of "dummy"? How long has it been around? Is the etymology here related to the use of "stupid" or "crazy" as ironic intensifiers? (Wiktionary lists "Extremely" as an adverb definition of "dummy", but without quotes or other background.) | 0 |
Is it correct to apply the word fellow to a thing, not a person? For example "fellow companies"? Definitions in M-W, Collins and Cambridge all point to fellow being applicable only to people. | 0 |
I'm looking for ways to visually signify the links between turns in a transcript and found this which I think is a brilliant way to do it in a book by Erving Goffman. Is there any way to replicate this on LaTeX in a consistent way over a large corpus? | 0 |
Here is a piece of text: But the historical pattern of warfare remains inconclusive, frustrating, endlessly cyclical. States persist in warfare because the mechanics of the balance of power rarely permit escape from it. [link] The first sentence confuses me (especially the words "inconclusive" and "frustrating"). Please tell me how you understand it? How can it be rephrased? | 0 |
Can someone give a reference textbook, etc which explains / has examples for polar integration to calculate center of mass. (This is at the level of advanced pre-college physics, say for example the JEE entrance exam, so references that explain in detail are preferred. JEE does not have multivariable calculus. Will prefer refernces that use single integration. Simple shapes will do | 0 |

To show dilation in spatial relativity, is it accurate to do a "god's eye view" showing a top down view of both trains, or is dilation from one perspective alone (view from Train A or Train B)? | 0 |
I am working on a heavily mathematically project about plasma. In particular, I want to find references that treat the problem from microscopic models that include relativistic and magnetic effects (Coulomb forces, QFT, etc) and obtain kinetic models (BBGKY, Landau equation, Maxwells equation, etc). What are some state of the art papers/references? | 0 |
In the Blandford-Znajek Process (which is considered a potential mechanism to explain jets from AGN), the lorentz force is assumed to be vanishing (the force-free condition). But we see that the lorentz factor for the outflow is quite high. If there is no exchange of energy from the electromagnetic fields to the charged particles, how are these two facts reconciled? | 0 |

It feels like the transition from a sea of probability of a droplet of precision (or wave, depending what you're looking for) would be a loss of entropy, if so wouldn't this violate the Second Law? Or does Heisenberg's insistence that we cannot ask questions about what happens before observation exempt it from such considerations? | 0 |

Obviously there is a limitation as to how well experimental configurations that depend on coincidence counting can efficiently remove the noise present at any given experiment. This leads me to wondering, how efficient are modern day coincidence counting techniques? A percentage of noise removed, signal to noise ratio, an evidenced estimation, or something of the like would suffice. | 0 |
For the zeta function itself, I have been using the Riemann-Siegel Z formula implementation as written here: https://web.viu.ca/pughg/thesis.d/masters.thesis.pdf However, my searching skills have completely failed me on the derivative.

I've read in some sources that Entropy is a measure of how much energy is not available to do work but I'm not quite sure what this is getting at. The only thing that I could think of is perhaps that heat cannot be fully converted work in a cycle with a portion dumped out as entropy. Is my interpretation correct? | 0 |
Is it not a misnomer to call in a non-perturbative setting an irrelevant direction irrelevant? I know that it comes from perturbation theory where an irrelevant direction is irrelevant for the IR dynamics but in a non-perturbative regime an irrelevant direction should have effects in the IR. | 0 |
There is an idiom that says basically, "Better to go out in a blaze, than burn out like candle." I'm probably totally off, but it's something like that. The point of the cliche is not to let your objection or opposition die with you, but to make it the cause of your departure. | 0 |

What's an adjective that describes cutting mats that also have grids drawn on them, and specifically distinguishes them from cutting mats that don't have grids on them? I guess if there's no cutting-mat-specific word, the word that means "this device has gradations marked on it" (that could also describe rulers, measuring cylinders) would also work. That is a ____ cutting mat | 0 |
I want to say that I solved a programming bug and has been around for years in my resume. I currently have something like "Debugged long standing bug" but I don't think it conveys that point that this issue has persisted for many years.

Can we apply the same formula of the "vector triple product" and "vector scalar product" for complex vectors (that is, vectors with complex entries)? Clearly, I assume we calculate the cross product with the complex vector formula, and that we also calculate the inner product with the complex vector formula (either antilinear to first argument, or antilinear to second argument). | 0 |
Can we safely say that: Even without assuming Einstein's postulates, experiments have shown that measuring the average speed of light in the vacuum on a closed path always produces the same result: the constant c? Do we need to specify that the measure must be performed in an inertial frame or possibly something else, or can we state this principle in general? | 0 |

We generally know that plasma turbulence creates magnetic field (here, I have assumed that it happens through the dynamo effect). it is also affected by magnetic fields. Is it possible that plasma turbulence could be fluctuated by the earth's magnetic field, if so, does it have any applications (like help generate more plasma turbulence through the magnetic field). | 0 |
I understand that Toponium is only theoretical because the T quark decays too quickly. My question is this, would a right handed T quark live long enough to form a meson? If not, how long would it take to change from a R to L handed quark and then decay versus form a "stable" meson? | 0 |
Hi to everyone. I don't understand why the diagram in which final antimuon and muon are exchanged is not possible (so having in the upper part positron and muon, downwards electron and antimuon). It seems in all diagrams I seen that in the upper part I must have only antiparticles, and in the lower part only particles (or vice-versa). Is there a specific rule? | 0 |
