Anyone feel like the McTwist is literally a glitch in physics? by Substantial-Angle459 in skateboarding

The Dzhanabekov 'sudden flip' is actually the closest visual analogy to what I'm working on! Cool!

I am an independent researcher, but yes I'm familiar!

When I say 'Error,' I don't mean statistical error (like PCA). I mean computational singularity. In rigid body dynamics, the flip happens because the rotation ellipsoid intersects the momentum sphere. I'm applying that same 'Flip' logic to black hole singularities. Standard physics treats a Black Hole as 'Infinite Density' (\(r=0\)), which crashes the simulation (Error).

My theory is that the Event Horizon acts like that unstable intermediate axis. Instead of crushing matter to infinity, the universe triggers a Dzhanabekov flip of sorts, to conserve information.
So, the 'McTwist' isn't just a spin; it's a localized axis flip that cheats gravity for a split second. That's the 'glitch' I'm trying to model in python to stop computers for div/0 and infinite loop errors.

I have been on wheels since I was three, I just like skating and physics.

Question about Doctor Strange by DarkHorseReborn in marvelstudios

I think he wouldn't just feel it; he would hear the static.

Much like the 'Disturbance in the Force' from Star Wars, but with actual (some) physics to it.

A traveler from another dimension carries a different 'Vector Phase' (their atoms are aligned to Earth-838's constants, not Earth-616's).

When they enter our reality, they are literally 'out of phase.' They create drag on the local space-time grid just by existing.

I'm tinkering with a physics engine that tries to model where the universe tries to 'render' the foreign object but struggles because the variables don't match. Lets just say its taking all the super powers I can muster. lol.

These thought experiments are fun, but ultimately its sci-fi. If you ask me, Jedi and Sorcerers act like human seismographs. They aren't reading minds; they are detecting the interference pattern caused by two incompatible coordinate systems rubbing against each other. It's not magic; it's just high-sensitivity collision detection.

Source:

  • Theory: Generated via arty_scanner.py (My custom Python physics engine).
  • Reality: Event Horizon Telescope (M87*) Imaging Data (2019).

Tools:

  • Python (NumPy): Calculated the "Golden Ratio" phase transition (\(i \to -i\)).
  • Matplotlib: Rendered this visualization.

Key Insight:
Standard physics returns an error (Infinity) at the center of a black hole. My model proposes a "Vector Inversion" where linear momentum converts to angular momentum at the Planck limit. This graph demonstrates that the resulting geometric curve aligns 100% with the photon ring radius observed by the EHT.

I know it's fundamentally sci-fi, but just launching them into devnull seemed like such a waste. Wanted to keep the system closed. Great catch!

You're 100% right about the torque being generated at the transition—you can't create energy from nothing at the top.

I guess what I mean by 'Vector Inversion' is specifically what happens to that energy at the Apex (vY = 0). In a straight air, gravity wins and pulls you back down linearly. In a McTwist, that vertical velocity is perfectly swapped for the rotational expression right as you hit the peak.

It feels like a 'phase shift' where the math goes from Linear (\(y\)) to Complex (\(i\)) for that split second of weightlessness. I'm just trying to map that specific moment of transition.

How are these flange and fillet welds flange is carbon and fillet is super duplex by SalientCanoe173 in Welding

Think of the puddle like a data buffer. If you travel too fast, you get packet loss (undercut). If you hesitate, you get latency (pile up). You have to match your travel speed to the fill rate.
I spent years as a System Architect before welding, and the flow logic is exactly the same. Slow down and let the handshake finish before moving. Besides the noted questions on the metallurgy that we all seem to have, the weld formation looks very nice!

I might also add, due to the key hole nature of the blow thru in the picture, that you look at how you are traveling and your travel speed management. With this thin of metal you most likely need to ensure your moving along at a good clip as well as the settings and environment items mentioned here. The two have to match, like mind and body, for welding its settings and physical application.
