I guess I'm #writing again, because yesterday I brainstormed a bunch of ideas for #book three, (Moon,) and then I woke up at 2:30 AM, realizing (I think) that I had messed up the #generalrelativity between #books one (Atmosphere,) and two, (Ocean.) This, after I spent a whole lot of time trying to make it work during the writing #process. I have a tenuous grasp on the #theory. Wish I had a #physicist friend I could #brainstorm with. #physics #question

I've come up with an equation that describes the early universe and how it was created. I've described and shown how symmetry breaking occurs due to black hole structure

I'm currently being considered for Mensa here in Australia because of my Quantum Mechanical Diagrams

A detailed, interconnected structure labeled “Quantum Singularity” with the equationsA layered, spiraling diagram with the text "Two infinitly dense regions of spacetime can act as (causality)² and Matter is spun up through pressure gradients as they simultaneously (fall into and away from one another, expanding information between them.)". Below this is an equation The image is a hand-drawn illustration contained within a roughly circular border. The majority of the space inside the circle is filled with numerous overlapping, solid-colored circles of varying sizes. There are four prominent colors: pink, green, light blue, and pale purple, with green being the most abundant. The circles are arranged densely, creating a textured and somewhat chaotic pattern. The illustration appears to be done with colored pencils or markers, with some visible linework outlining the circles. 

Text on the right side of the image reads: “DNA - Diagram of a quantum self-organization system.”•  Overall: At the very bottom, the image is signed “The Doctor - Hypatia-Fynn Lovelace, Thurs 6 Nov 2024”.―The image is a black and white drawing of a symmetrical, organic shape resembling a leaf or butterfly within an oval frame. The central shape consists of two curving, mirrored forms that meet at a narrow point. These forms are intricately detailed with a series of small, repeated curves and spiraling lines, creating a textured appearance. Extending from the central shape are radiating lines that fan outward, reminiscent of veins or wings. The radiating lines are thicker towards the center and taper as they extend toward the edge of the oval frame

3I/ATLAS might have just proven Einstein's 1915 theory right before unusually deviating near the Sun, which resurfaces the question: Is it really a comet?

Macroscopic Theories Of Matter And Fields A Thermodynamic Approach ( Advances in Science and Technology in the USSR)

Advances in Science and Technology in the USSR
Mathematics and Mechanics Series

This is a collection of articles by Soviet scientists on current issues of building macroscopic models of matter and fields. Based on thermodynamics concepts the papers develop general variational techniques of modeling material continuous media and fields allowing for their interactions in reversible and irreversible processes. The book is intended for researchers, engi­neers, graduate and postgraduate students interested in the mechanics of continuous media.

Translated from the Russian by Eugene Yankovsky

Asked the duckduckgo free versions of AI:

Given the more specific answer for radial and tangential velocity in
physics.stackexchange.com/ques ,

what is general velocity of light in Schwarzschild metric at distance 𝑟 for observer that is infinitely far away?

Results are as expected: the radial and tangential results are recited and then a train wreck.

New Simulations Show Electrodynamic Aspects of Black Hole Mergers and Gravitational Waves

Researchers at the California Institute of Technology have performed advanced simulations demonstrating that gravity in strong fields, such as those produced during binary black hole mergers, can be effectively described using Maxwell's equations, which are traditionally used in electromagnetism.

In 1965, Roger Penrose made a groundbreaking discovery in mathematical physics. He demonstrated that under two simple assumptions, space-time inevitably leads to singularities—points where it ends. This landmark paper has been hailed as the most crucial contribution to general relativity since Einstein. #Physics #GeneralRelativity #RogerPenrose

This is a fun twist:

Though astronauts aboard the International Space Station age more slowly (at a rate of about 0.01 seconds per year or--as I calculated earlier--about 317 picoseconds per second), a computer at the top of a server rack would experience time more quickly than one at the rack's bottom.

That's because the orbital speed of ISS negates gravitational time dilation.

Relativity ...

I believe I understand the usual calculations for time dilation and length contraction using the concepts of an inertial frame of reference and watching a "clock" that consists of light bouncing between two mirrors.

I'm pretty sure I've got that.

So ... are there are similarly elegant thought experiments to show:

* why clocks run slower when they are in a gravity well?

* why clocks run slower when accelerating?

What should I be reading?

Assume I know nothing about tensors, but am happy with complex numbers, calculus, and matrices.

There're two books on black holes that assume a previous course in General Relativity. They are "An Introduction to Black Hole Physics" (Frolov) and "Black Holes: an Introduction" (Raine & Thomas). Does anyone know them and can recommend one or the other? #physics #generalrelativity #relativity

✨ Exciting news to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of gravitational-wave astronomy đźŽ‚

A recent gravitational-wave signal, known as GW250114, is the clearest one observed to date.

Its source and intrinsic signal strength are quite similar to those of the first-ever signal, GW150914, which was observed almost exactly 10 years ago.

However, improvements of the detectors, waveform models, and analysis methods over the past decade have resulted in a much clearer detection.

This allows scientists to conduct some of the most stringent tests of general relativity and confirm Hawking's black hole area theorem.

For the first time, researchers have identified or constrained at least three different gravitational-wave tones during the ringdown. This is the phase in which the remaining black hole settles into its final state right after the merger.

Black holes question:

1. As things get to the event horizon, their speed converges to zero, being zero at the event horizon --- according to the distant observer.

2. There is a singularity inside with infinite density where all that mass went to.

How and in particular WHEN can anything get to the singularity if it stops at the event horizon --- when basing WHEN on our normal calendar.🤔
