Cool ;-). Especially if you consider the scale and volatility of the Sun’s activity and our changing orbit around it, which can vary the solar energy by over 26% at 100,000 year maximums extremes of the Milankovitch eccentricity, plus the lesser effects of obliquity and precession, of wh...
If X is an n-by-2 matrix of the points in your region, you can compute the covariance matrix Sigma in MATLAB like this (untested): mu=mean(X,1); X_minus_mu=X-repmat(mu, size(X,1), 1); Sigma=(X_minus_mu'*X_minus_mu)/size(X,1); Now, what does this have to do with...
How does one celebrate personal independence? Personal independence can be celebrated through achieving milestones like financial independence, living alone, or making autonomous life choices. 6 What does it mean to be independent? Being independent means not being influenced or controlled by others, sho...
If parallel or angular misalignment becomes severe, higher harmonic orders, like the 3rd to the 8th order, can also dominate the vibration pattern in a spectrum. Example of misalignment. Left: parallel offset misalignment, right: angular misalignment. Eccentricity Eccentricity is the offset between th...
“eccentricity”, and it describes how lopsided the orbit is. ε=0 means the orbit is a circle, 0<ε<1 means the orbit is elliptical, and 1≤ε means that the orbit is open (not actually orbiting). For reference, the Earth’s eccentricity is ε=0.01671123 and Hal...
I interpret PAllen's quote to mean that GR predicts that the orbits would decay following some kind inward spiral paths while emitting gravitational waves. Q1: Does anyone disagree with this? There are two possibilities: a: The circular orbits are GR geodesics. b: The spirals are GR ...

In my opinion, there is sometimes a bit of eccentricity that goes along with being a nerd, but maybe that's a good thing. People should be able to be themselves without ridicule. Byreader888— On Feb 11, 2011 I wasn't aware that the word nerd became so popular by it's use on "...
