Nobody really answered a question I've always asked. How does a white hole tend to break the second law of thermodynamics?
Dammit

Do not answer it for them
oh, I thought you actually wanted to know.

Want me to edit it?
Nah, you didn't fully answer the question.
well now I'm curious about what I missed, pm pls.

According to the 2nd law of thermodynamics any object with heat should dissipate that heat to its surroundings, in order to do that it has to come into contact with other stuff.

Recall that a blackhole is impossible to escape from inside. An essential property of a white hole, being the time symmetric reversal of a black hole, is that it is impossible to actually reach from outside. Therefor it is not able dissipate it's heat and in turn violates thermodynamics. . .I think.

I'm happy to help m80, I'm doing maths at uni, and I'm actually good at it.
That could help because I was doing close to jack-shit for the first half of the semester due to depression, too much coursework, and general stress. Now I've been trying to catch up, but I think I might have some basic understanding of the core principles of the last 2 chapters we did, so I need to fully understand those and completely learn all the Laws from the other 4 chapters in time to hopefully not fail the Final next Saturday.
calculus ii, right?

What were the last two chapters?
9 was Infinite Series, using Ratio test, convergence/divergence, alternating series, MacLaurin(not sure on spelling, teacher has questionable handwriting) and Taylor Polynomials.
10 was Parametric and Polar curves and arc lengths of polar coordinates.
I think we have the same book.

This one?
Mine is an older edition.

there are also plenty free of resources online. For example, wolfram alpha is good to check your work, just don't use it to cheat.

I find calculus really easy.
What is so difficult about it?
It's really not difficult at all.

memorizing the different integration methods can be a pain for some people. There also a few small theorems that are only covered a little and then dredged back up later, if you don't remember them you can get lost.

SLS a shit, praise be to SKYLON.
Skylon is certainly a marvel, they planning on testing it anytime soon?
I wish.
They don't really announce much, which is frustrating, but understandable at this stage in development.
Last I heard they'd demonstrated a working precooler to ESA, and ESA published a report saying that a working model is entirely possible with current technologies.
Not entirely sure they are doing right now, possibly building a full prototype engine.
First test flights are meant to be around 2017-2020, but they could and probably will change.
Those engines are complicated as fuck, it's going to take a while.
that they are, those diagrams are a doozy themselves, the actual engine must be insane

but dat single stage to orbit

If Christmas is all about Jesus then why is the most familiar face this time of year a fat Norseman in a red coat probably based on Odin just as much as he is based on a saint?

Offtopic, have any of you guys read The Martian? It's about an astronaut that gets stranded alone on Mars in a Nasa research station for a year. Good book.

Serious / Re: The Official Serious Reading List
« on: December 04, 2014, 02:05:56 AM »
I'll list them as they come to me. I'm a little lacking on the philosophical stuff. I'm decently read on physics stuff and am well aware that most of this won't interest anyone other than me.

Gödel, Escher, Bach - Douglas Hofstadter (any one interested in AI  or just really interesting shit in general definitely should read this)
The Fabric of Reality - David Deutsch (popular level, a lot of this stuff is really far out but interesting none the less)
Six Easy Pieces - Richard Feynman(good introduction to some of his lectures on physics)
The Mars Trilogy - Kim Stanley Robinson ( a trilogy of books about Terraforming Mars)
The Road to Reality - Roger Penrose (not for the faint of heart, thousand page book, the first 300 and something pages of which is dedicated entirely to the math needed to understand the other 700)
I Am A Strange Loop - Douglas Hofstadter (expounds on the concept of strange loops developed in EGB)
The Trouble With Physics - Lee Smolin (explains many of the problems with the string approach to quantum gravity in a way that's easy to digest for laymen)
Solaris - Stanislaw Lem
The Millennial Project - Marshal T. Savage (lays out in detail how humanity can go about large scale colonization of space)
Not Even Wrong - Peter Woit ( first half gives possibly the most accurate account of QFT I've ever seen in a popular level book, second half gives several arguments as to why string theory is a failed research program and is "Not even wrong")

I don't even think the air in side the container would react all that much. I mean the earth does a pretty great job of holding it what difference would building a container around it and them opening a hatch make? You'd have to physically pump the air out of the container and then you'd have to pump air back in, which requires work

Turkey, am I completely wrong headed here?


No, I didn't even think of this. The pressure required to shoot a column of air, let along a column of water, out of the atmosphere would be insane. The pump itself would nullify any energy generated by the turbines.
If you were able to create enough of a pressure differential to that it would probably just evaporate too.
