it looks like this rov is doing some live dives. they've got a cool camera on the thing, they can zoom in to look at jellyfish and stuff. so far they've just floated around while the biologists rant about whatever jellyfish species are out there, then occasionally hoover up a jellyfish into a sample tube.

looks like they're exploring a cold seep now, probably going to be tube worms and poo poo

its really make sure the fittings are good, and replace the green bulbs every so often, also use the newer oil and you're set.

I had been able to live until last year without giving google a single cent of mine… but I’m now a YouTube premium subscriber. YT is almost all i watch if it’s just me nowadays.

wish there were other platforms. are any of the ones that do exist any good?

for content, just found this channel. his hydrogen bomb video drew me in, hopefully the rest are pretty good too. it’s hard to differentiate physics from magic sometimes:

neat.

the saddest part of nuclear physics is you can do like hydrogen or simple nuclei, but it's impossible to calculate/solve anything bigger. if you want to calculate stuff from bigger nuclei you just kind of have to make a whole lot of assumptions and it works pretty well, but not really.

Yes. More precisely: the formulae become impossible to solve once more than one particle is involved (for the hydrogen atom we can focus on just the electron and it's solvable, but helium with 2 electrons isn't). At that point, scientists use a combination of smart assumptions and just bruteforcing an answer using powerful computers.

The result of this ugly brute force solution is still orders of magnitude more precise than trying to solve it without quantum mechanics.

we can only solve the relevant equations under very specific conditions, normally using some sort of tricky. the classic example of one you can solve is a particle in a 1d box - in the central region the potential energy is 0 (well, some finite value), infinite otherwise. because you know the probability of the particle being outside that central region, and in particular at the boundary, must be 0 (due to the PE being infinite), and that the resulting solution must be smooth*, you** can simplify the problem and enumerate the actual solutions. for the hydrogen atom they use clever tricks and the maths is harder (despite there being just a relatively simple PE field to consider), and it's just not possible in most other cases


* even in this simple case you cheat a bit on this condition
** i could never really do this properly, it was all a bit hard and programming was easier.

yeah my understanding is that for approximating multi-electron equations via the canonical algorithm you essentially treat the wavefunction for each individual electron as independent, so the final equation ends up being a linear combination of those wave functions, but of course you lose being able to model things like van der waals forces because each electron's orbital can't be affected by any others in this model

(I hacked on a bunch of computational chemistry stuff in undergrad and I never understood this stuff as well as I'd have liked but it was supremely cool to do Actual Science instead of fake computer "science" for a bit)
