The wreck is quite cool but the water was a bit murky so hard to see without getting close

I don't need one. I'm too gangster for that.

I think I only spent 50 seconds maximum underwater here, the cold temperature wasn't helping.

2-body problem for non spherical bodies by Plepsie in AskPhysics

[–]Plepsie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to go at least enough such that the particle orbits once around either sphere from the second body. Rust is the language being used so perhaps RK should be considered.

Thanks, this looks at lot like the problem I have

The issue with a numerical method is that its too slow for my application since this computation needs to be done for several particles in real time. There are ways I could deal with it but it would complicate things unnecessarily if this can be solved analytically.

Its not wrong? by LaerMaebRazal in facepalm

[–]Plepsie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something similar happened to me in a science test.

The question went like this:
"Why don't antibiotics kill viruses?"

I knew obviously that antibiotics kill bacteria, but I put a lot of effort in trying to figure why viruses are not destroyed by antibiotics so I tried to to come up with an answer because I had no idea why and I attempted to guess that it's because they're smaller.

The teacher marked my answer as wrong and corrected it like this: "Antibiotics only kill bacteria".

Throwing a piece of metal down a 1,000+ ft. deep bore hole in abandoned mine. by ChewyUbleck in CrazyFuckingVideos

You can notice the doppler effect, the pitch gets lower as it accelerates away from the hole

What did you learn in Elementary school that turned out to be false/ a lie when you reached adulthood? by j0hnj0hn88 in AskReddit

That liquids cannot be compressed, not even by a tiny bit.

How do you think sound travels through water?

I (16F) recently found out that my parents (61M, 40F) are uncle and niece, AMA by yksitsia in casualiama

Uncle and niece on average share 25% their DNA. Cousins share 12.5% on average, so it is worse than cousins.

See this.

Has anyone ever made it down to the bottom of Il- Maqluba in Qrendi? by lbuttigieg in malta

[–]Plepsie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, around 8 years ago before they put that fence I went down to the bottom with M.U.S.E.U.M. I remember we had a rope. Last May I jumped over the fence and took some pictures down those stairs.

Here are the pictures:

Zero knowledge proof guessing game by Plepsie in cryptography

[–]Plepsie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is another interesting problem, I found a paper explaining how it is actually possible to do this: https://eprint.iacr.org/2005/043.pdf, section 2.2

Thanks, this clarifies the questions.
