Beautiful. I find images of Jupiter absolutely stunning, and that the dynamics behind the auroras is sophisticated (ie, something complex happening above the core) is even more interesting. I can't wait for Juno to…
Just a side note: that paper appears to have a title from an older paper when displayed in Chrome. (Not on the page, on the status bar.)
So they touch on 4-dimensional theories only briefly, but one thing I'm very curious about is if higher dimensional theories provide a richer computational structure, in any of several senses. Every 1-knot has a sort of…
So, I'll own up to it, I'm kinda dumb (or at least not read up on this). Can someone explain what a DNC is? Assume I know most CS undergrad topics -- or can at least google them; eg, I know what a Turing machine is but…
Does anyone know of a good introduction to wavelets? Books or papers; let's say at the level of math heavy CS/undergrad math degree.
I appreciate the reply! Yes, if you put little R^4 balls around points of the line, you can still untangle it. It's basically still a line. (They might have to be really little balls, but the definitions all use…
Well, the inspirtation in my mind was the interference from the double slit experiment. If we think about a particle going from A to B, over t from 0 to 1, then the common interpretation is that it takes all paths and…
> elementary particles are point particles This might sound dumb, but how does a point have a wavelength? (I actually think QM is a conceptual mess of hacked together math, but that's a rant for another day. Here I am…
Yes, sponsored by MS at Station Q. I believe the question there is if non-Abelian braiding statistics can be found to enable universal quantum computation, as Abelian anyons don't enable a univeral quantum computer.…
So, I've been curious: having a "worldline" seems to imply that the objects in question are a point object -- adding one dimension (time) to zero gives you one, a line. Is this actually a reasonable model, though? If we…
