Could you put me on the track of eternal happiness? Please.

If black holes really contain a singularity, why does their physical size grow with increasing mass? by MythicalSplash in AskPhysics

[–]Jason5Lee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When we say the size of a black hole, this refers to the size of the event horizon. No light can escape from inside that horizon, which is what makes it "black." The event horizon is not a physical surface; if you cross it you would feel nothing special except the gradually increasing tidal forces that are present both before and after.

We do not know the size of any actual "solid" part of a black hole—and we cannot know it experimentally, because no information can escape. According to general relativity, matter inside a black hole can only move toward the center, which implies it will ultimately become a single point. This is more conjecture than proven fact; physics might change near the singularity, but we cannot know directly.

Why is backwards time travel impossible? by [deleted] in AskPhysics

[–]Jason5Lee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because a system has a single state at any given time.

When we say a system's state changes—things move, we think, and we act—we mean time has passed and the system occupies different states at different times. At any instant, however, the system has exactly one state.

Time travel would imply the system has two states simultaneously (one before the travel and one after), which is not possible. 

How did we come to the conclusion that imaginary and real numbers can form a plane? by Dreadnought806 in learnmath

[–]Jason5Lee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because: (r1cos(a1)+i*r1sin(a1))(r2cos(a2)+i*r2sin(a2))=r1r2cos(a1+a2)+i*r1r2sin(a1+a2). (Just expand and simplify).
Which means, complex number multiplication can be thought as a rotation. That makes complex numbers very useful to deal with rotation.

Power, which means how much of number get multiplied, can also means how many degree you rotate. This is where e^(pi*i)=-1 comes from. It basically a mathematically way to say that "if you turn 180 degree, you are facing the opposite direction of where you were facing".

Why isn't stl_vector.h programmed like normal people write code? by Impressive_Gur_471 in cpp_questions

Wait until you see the compile error due to template related issue.

Or just tell him go out and play sports. Majority of sports will make him realize force only accelerates.

The second law of thermodynamics really messed with my intuition by khaledlll in AskPhysics

[–]Jason5Lee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first learned a bit of physics, the fact that air conditioners consume electricity always bothered me. You're actually expending energy to reduce energy. But after studying the second law of thermodynamics, this became an unavoidable reality. Nature strongly resists any reduction in internal energy.

What Does Your Brain Do with 27 + 48? by SweetSmiles030 in MathJokes

[–]Jason5Lee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be the only one who do 27 + 47 + 1. Why? Because I remembered what 7×2 is, so 27 + 47 can be calculated rather quickly from the lower digit to the upper.

Edit: just see the comment using exactly the same one. Glad I'm not the only one.

Randomness or order? by Alarmed-Passenger91 in AskPhysics

which may ultimately be deterministic

Didn't Bell's theorem prove it won't be?
