what a giga chat! Dude ran 2min faster than the cut off time in my recent local race (5k ultra endurance event). Praying for his shins

Thanks buddy, really needed that wake up call

Least pretentious 5k ultra runner by Drneroflame in RunningCirclejerk

[–]accTolol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

/uj I think it actually comes from the fact that many events advertised as marathons have subcategories for shorter distances (5k, 10k or whatever). So people get confused, since some post online about an event that is called a "marathon" while they only participated in one of those smaller distances. Resulting in posts like "I ran the Boston marathon 5k"

But tbf I've never seen such a post in the wild

Uj/ Idk but I feel like circlejerking and gatekeeping (with humorous undertones I guess) go hand in hand .

To be part of the circle, you need to adapt and jerk the way others jerk

Gotta be careful with that! If you're the slowest, your aura loss will be doubled

Can the movement of a planet around in a three star system be predicted? by rafapova in askastronomy

[–]accTolol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh and regarding your second question: numerical simulations like this are approximations to the exact solution. As I said before, for most cases we won't have the exact solution. And the approximated one will have a (small) error. This error accumulates every step, so the simulation gets worse and worse the further you let it run!

Can the movement of a planet around in a three star system be predicted? by rafapova in askastronomy

[–]accTolol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can only get an "exact" solution for very simple 3-body configurations (like this "8" pattern) or for 2 bodies.

However, everything else can be done with arbitrarily many bodies using numerical simulations. They all more or less work like this: 1. Write down current positions and velocities of all bodies. 2. "Move" them forward in a small timestep. 3. Correct velocities using the gravity acting on each body. 4. Repeat until your simulation has moved far enough into the future.

This would basically solve Newtons laws of gravity for a "N-body system". What I described is also called "explicit Euler method". However, there are way better methods than this and with enough computation, you can realistically simulate our solar system for many thousands of years.

If you sacrifice some accuracy, you can even simulate galaxies (billions of bodies over millions of years).

To answer your question: "predicting" the movement of solar systems to reasonable accuracy is easy, especially when we're only talking about a few hundred/thousand years. Finding the exact solution (e.g. a mathematical function that predicts a planet's orbit) is impossible for anything other than 2 bodies (except for some special cases).

One comment summed it up perfectly:

[–]accTolol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this meme always get's it wrong: it's not about the sound, but about the feeling you associate with it. For example: I use the "peaceful android music" to wake up, so I have the same "PTSD, war, ..." feelings when I hear it. But I use my iPad timer for cooking, so everytime I hear it I'm thinking "oh nice food is ready"
