Cancer Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 Quote Consider a galaxy composed entirely of degenerate dwarfs and a few secretaries. Estimate the frequencies of two- and three-body encounters, and describe a few of the more interesting cases. Compare those timescales to the rate of horizontal branch ascension, taking into account relevant heating and cooling mechanisms, and the physical constraints set by pumping mechanisms, backwarming due to blanketing by trace molecular populations, energy loss via neutrino oscillations, mass segregation, black hole mergers, core collapse, and maser amplification. Grad level astrophysics ... non-question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 We don't call them dumbwaiters any more. They are educationally deprived service employees. Besides, dumbwaiters actually carry cargo, which is far too useful a function to allow to exist around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
