But in PDF this material is a bit out of date and mostly fragmented and inaccessible. It looks almost identical to my texts from 50 years ago. There are lots of small comments and

Steve Mould: Bizarre traveling flame discovery at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqhXQUzVMlQ About 1974/1975 I wss at the University of Texas at Austin. Ilya Prigogine was there with his group and they were studying chemical clocks, and chemical oscillators. Now Prigogine got his Nobel prize in 1977 for a range of things with names like “dissipative structures”, “systems far

In the Terminator series, there is a scene just as Skynet takes over, where some flying drones, that for some reason have machine guns, attack them. For some reason your picture reminded me of that. I asked Microsoft Bing CoPilot about that scene, and it excitedly said it was very familiar with those scenes and

Dearest Readers, I have had hundreds of conversations like this with GPT 4 at OpenAI. It cannot or will not remember what I say from conversation to conversation, so I have to trick it into “getting in the grove”. I know these subjects well, since starting electrodynamics more than 50 years ago. But I am

Cool Worlds Podcast: #4 Hod Lipson – Automated Physics Discovery, ChatGPT, Future of AI at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KT7gAYmnOhI Hod Lipson, If you take a time series and its first and second differences, the systems where “velocity” and “acceleration” work are the ones where the second difference, “acceleration” is normally distributed. For 25 years, I have checked all the

Prasad Raju, I suggest you use online resources to look at the data. There is a lot of seismometer and magnetometer data. There is meteorological data. If you just want sources of interesting signals, there is some good solar data (solar dynamics observatory), data from lots of astronomical and astrophysical surveys. Radio telescope data

https://www.cadence.com/en_US/home/tools/system-analysis/computational-fluid-dynamics/pre-processing-meshing.html Is there an “intro to Cadence computational fluid dynamics” that tells the hardware requirements as a function of mesh size, time step size, precision? I wanted to teach basic properties of vertical flight through the atmosphere up to orbital velocities. I wanted to start with classical shapes, then add more complexity. Then let the

BrainTruffle: Fluid dynamics feels natural once you start with quantum mechanics at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXs_vkc8hpY BrainTruffle, You need to use real measurements, on real systems, to match your different simulation strategies to real things. You are guessing by eyeball. You can get massive amounts of data from a number of places, or your own experiments. A billion
