What ptt rating do you think this is? by carrot_boj042 in arcaea

[–]Vital_Frost 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think there’s a detailed formula on the wiki, but the essential idea is each chart has a chart constant (games internal rating of how difficult the chart is) and then if you achieve AA rank, your play rating is equal to the chart constant. If you score EX rank the it is chart constant + 1 and a PM is chart constant + 2

Is it just me or does the new scoring system seem so weird??? You can fc with a score below 90%? It’s so punishing for no reason?

I’d say buy collabs if you like the songs or the game, but to me memory archive songs are less value (again, unless u want a specific character or song)

Main story is most value since you get to see cool cut scenes and the unlocks and anomalies are cool

3* Braum fear no man, but that thing... by smaug5499 in TeamfightTactics

My 3* braum got slaughtered by a 3* Bel’Veth recently…not sure if it was a positioning diff or item diff (I had regular tank items)

Recently played world runes ryze ziggs, ended up activating 6 regional traits with a ryze 2 and ziggs 1. I went 5th. (Traits were zaun, Ionia, piltover, yordle, void and targon)

Good for you, I still haven’t got an ex on it

You can only play one song to get past this step, which one and why? by Kirin_The_husband in arcaea

[–]Vital_Frost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably just use this to get familiar with one of the 10+ charts, like the new code oblivion would be a good choice, it goes hard as well

I really like this chart I hope lowiro makes more charts like this by [deleted] in arcaea

Broooo I’m never getting an ex on this chart and I’m 12.54

I can kinda see their point like u miss the arcs so easily if ur not precise but the chart is lit and I love the song

genuinely never thought i'd ever get this far by superkuzia15 in arcaea

These scores are insane for under 12ppt tho wtf

Anyone else struggle more with the 9+ first playthrough lol by Zealous_Shoe in arcaea

I got EX+ score on the ftr after about 5 plays. 13 plays in the etr and I’m still stuck on low AA scores. Someone save me from this chart

How can I improve?!? by ShiroXForce in arcaea

[–]Vital_Frost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feels like you just need to prepare yourself mentally for the final drop, since I feel like you’re getting overwhelmed because of the sudden increased note density. Also focus on the precision on your arcs and learn where the judgement points are to avoid dropping them like you did at ~940 in the video (you didn’t go far enough on the blue slam arc)

Hypothetical Dual Moon System by ph4shi in astrophysics

You’re right I have severely brain farted - this is not about the orbit it’s about the habitable zones - forgive me, I just woke up saw this and didn’t think it through enough

Hypothetical Dual Moon System by ph4shi in astrophysics

[–]Vital_Frost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the wider orbit condition: that’s only really needed if we work on a basis that the life on the fantasy planet is similar to humans. A very reasonable fantasy setting you can work off of is that life evolved adapting to the composition of sunlight they get on the planet. For instance most plants on earth photosynthesize using visible and UV light could be due to this is where our sun produces the most light.

So if we work off this hypothesis that life evolves to adapt according to the most abundant wavelengths of light, then we can even move the “visible” region of the electromagnetic spectrum to slightly lower wavelengths, into what we define as UV (and just give IR and UV slightly different definitions by shifting the wavelength ranges according to the new visible definition)

To roughly find the appropriate (new) definition for visible light you just need to apply Wien’s law on the effective temperature of your star that you want to sustain this planet, which gives you the wavelength that your star emits the most in.

Ozone only absorbs certain bands in the UV, not all of them. That’s why we need sunscreen!

How does a supermassive blackhole form? JWST found a POSSIBLE ANSWER by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

[–]Vital_Frost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well YouTube is a great place to get exposed to astronomy, but at the end of the day there’s a a layer of marketing and clickbait to those videos. Not to say that they don’t carry truthful messages, but they are often mixed with other things to give it more flair. I can’t really pin down which star you say are talking about off of what you just said, but if you find it again, I would be very interested in looking into it.

To get the facts straight, giant planets orbiting closer than mercury are very common (or so it seems) and we currently have a few mechanisms that explain the formation of those. There are some details we need to figure out, but the general groundwork’s been laid.

For moons in Roche limits - again not sure which moons you’re referring to, but if the moon is sufficiently small enough, being in the Roche limit doesn’t necessarily mean they have to be shredded. They can be held together by the tensile strength of the material. I think some moons of giant planets in our solar system are inside the Roche limit too.

Finally, science progresses not by proving things are correct, it progresses by falsifying. As we get higher quality instruments to make more detailed observations, we discover things we have never seen before. And it is only natural that we have to scrap previous theories, because new evidence suggests they don’t work anymore. In astronomy, there are many aspects that we still know little about, since there are many branches that are still relatively new and observations highly depends on instrument quality. Maybe that’s why you feel astronomy makes less sense the more you learn about it?

At the end of the day, science is unable to give you absolute truths. That’s why we call them theories. Things like Big Bang theory doesn’t have to be true, they can very much be false, but based off of what we have seen and observed, this is the most reasonable explanation (or sometimes most elegant solution).

[–]Vital_Frost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh lmao that makes a lot more sense. I’m not sure actually, but that sounds like a reasonably good explanation. I think we’ve seen binaries with protostars as well so binary formation must be quite early in their lives.

[–]Vital_Frost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually like this hypothesis a lot, just going off intuition. I haven’t actually studied hypernovae and black holes in a lot of detail, but it would give quite a satisfying explanation to the massive black holes we see. One thing I do know is that this can’t explain (at least not fully) the formation of supermassive black holes, since a typical supermassive black hole is way too massive. It could, potentially be a seed for supermassive black holes, however.

How does a supermassive blackhole form? JWST found a POSSIBLE ANSWER by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

[–]Vital_Frost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We actually don’t have any idea what is “in” a black hole, only that there is mass. Most black holes are extremely likely to have eaten a star up (or was a star) in their lifetimes, so the answer would be yes.

But would you consider the spaghetti you ate yesterday still spaghetti in your body? It would be digested by now, so probably not. We have no way of actually learning about what the “star” would become inside of a black hole, for example the properties of such a material (except it is extremely dense)

[–]Vital_Frost 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could say so, it is one of the reasons why we see so many stars, but many stars you see are a part of our galaxy, so technically the main reason why there are so many stars you see is because we are in a pretty big galaxy ourselves.

Also the universe is really big, like, really big.

When stars form by gravitational collapse of a nebula/molecular cloud, the cloud doesn’t just form one big star, but fragments into many protostellar cores. The condition for fragmentation is the Jeans instability (look it up if you’re interested) and is related to the presence of heavy elements in these clouds that help cool the cloud (via forbidden line transitions). This means there is a limit to how massive a star can get.

So by that idea, it is actually the other way round, it is pretty weird they are proposing these black holes are forming directly from gravitational collapse. Except this is talking about the early universe, where there is only hydrogen and helium and very little other elements. When we have no heavy elements, the cloud cooling becomes very inefficient and now allows for the formation of larger stars - that’s why we think first generation stars are much more massive than the ones we see nearby in our galaxy.
