Yeah I have no idea what this is, just came across it in an ancient post on the forums
<FLHerne>
JustDark: Welcome :-)
<FLHerne>
This is the #KSPOfficial IRC channel on irc.esper.net
<FLHerne>
(the web client kind of sucks, better clients exist)
<FLHerne>
Tends to be quiet now and more active during EU daytime, I'm about to sleep because it's 1:30am :p
<FLHerne>
We chat about KSP, and space stuff, and gaming stuff, and sometimes other things
<JustDark>
Nice

Oh, and there's a stupid bot you can poke
<JustDark>
Anyways Im probs gonna go as I need to shower, idk if Ill come across this place again but Im semi-active on the forums under this same name. See yall later

lol gamers nexus. while steve was cleaning the thermal paste from the 3080ti gpu die, he found the additional 200 dollars (that was the extra price nvidia put on it)
<Mat2ch>
Don't tease us. Where is it?
<Mat2ch>
also why watch videos about things you can't buy, because they are just not available? :D
<Mat2ch>
Althego: ok, got to the point in the video.

sandbox: By moving the quantum space.
<Althego>
magnets are hard stuff. by some reading years ago my understanding is that ultimately the source is the spin of electrons, if somehow the the electron shells are such that the effect leaks out of the atom, and there are lot of atoms pointing to the same direction it adds
<SnoopJ>
can confirm, magnets are hard
<Mat2ch>
You shouldn't eat them!
<Mat2ch>
Althego: but why does the spin of the electrons do something here?
<Mat2ch>
There's some kind of radiation necessary.
<Mat2ch>
That's why I have the theory that magnets move the "empty" space around them
<Mat2ch>
creating a suction effect
<Mat2ch>
In a similar way that gravity waves move the whole thing around
<Mat2ch>
and this means my theory is testable.
<Mat2ch>
Because gravity waves move with lightspeed the quantum space should be also moved with lightspeed around the magnets.
<Mat2ch>
Now you just have to build a very very long and strong magnet and test it. It should "move" on its own.
<Mat2ch>
Because the suction on the one side has to be compensated by an outflow on the other side. Like a turbine.
<Mat2ch>
And since there is a speed difference between the intake and output that can't be filled up -> movement.
<Mat2ch>
and no, it doesn't violate anything, because it's not really moving by our means.
<minas_tirith>
Mat2ch, do you know any math?
<minas_tirith>
Math is very hard it seems
<Mat2ch>
minas_tirith: I do, but I've forgotton most of it
<minas_tirith>
Mat2ch, what kinds?

minas_tirith: what do you mean? I had to learn a wide variety of stuff when studying
<Mat2ch>
so I've seen many many things and had to use them
<minas_tirith>
Mat2ch, broadly what kinds of math did you do beyond hs
<Mat2ch>
don't know. I don't understand the question and the relevance of it.
<Mat2ch>
or: Why do you ask?
<minas_tirith>
Curious
<minas_tirith>
Bored
<minas_tirith>
Mat2ch, boredom bro
<Mat2ch>
well, it's too hot here to do anything, even talking is hard
<minas_tirith>
Mat2ch, 40+?
<minas_tirith>
(C)
<Mat2ch>
30, but that's enough already
<Althego>
i wish it was that warm here
<Althego>
even next week is below 30
<Mat2ch>
Althego: do you want the > 50 % humidity as well?
<Althego>
hehe
<minas_tirith>
15 is best
<minas_tirith>
10-15 is pleasant
<Althego>
lol
<Althego>
i would die in 10
<minas_tirith>
I am from a hot country so I prefer cool weather
<minas_tirith>
10-15C is most pleasing
<Mat2ch>
we had that for month now. 10° C is not enough.
<Mat2ch>
20 to 25 for weeks would be fine.
<minas_tirith>
Mat2ch, do you do shirtless in snow?
<minas_tirith>
Althego, are you from a cold country?
<minas_tirith>
I have heard Norway is very mild/warm
<Althego>
not especially
<Althego>
i just dont like cold
<minas_tirith>
Yeah same
<Mat2ch>
Norway is not mild :D
<Mat2ch>
it's the cold north
<Mat2ch>
and no I would NEVER go shirtless in snow!
<Althego>
it is mild because of the warm ocean current
Ezriilc has joined #KSPOfficial
<minas_tirith>
Mat2ch, I have heard norway described as warm to mild
<minas_tirith>
Althego, yeah
<minas_tirith>
Europe is warmer than America
<Mat2ch>
I can't believe that.
<Mat2ch>
We don't have any country that is like Texas
<Althego>
hehe
<minas_tirith>
Texas is a very cold place
<minas_tirith>
The us in general is
<Althego>
lol
<Althego>
have you watched the hops?
<minas_tirith>
What is that?
<Althego>
they had over 20 most of the winter
<minas_tirith>
Hops as in fruit mixed with whiskey?
<kubi>
tell me why a 3-fin rocket spins while a 4-fin is stable

<raptop>
oh, hey, a SnoopJ
<SnoopJ>
raptop, I saw a magnetism >_>
<Althego>
hehe
<SnoopJ>
but indeed I have been in deep hibernation in here
<raptop>
ah
<raptop>
spin is angular momentum, except it isn't <_<
<Althego>
yes i meant that thing
<raptop>
kubi: I'm confused, since generally 3-fin rockets seem stable unless they've got a lot of lift/drag up front?
<flayer>
whereabouts do i put the 30 km periapsis if i want to land on the KSC?
<Althego>
depends on your altitude and drag
<Althego>
so in general you cant now it without testing
<Althego>
but i put it well after the peninsula to the est
<flayer>
well, i put it over the desert peninsula this time
<flayer>
i'll listen to you next time, gonna land in the water before even reaching the KSC landmass
<flayer>
definitely need to the fire the thrusters to get the chutes to open in time tho
<Althego>
usually i go below 70 around the west coast of of the continent with the crater
<flayer>
one of the top fuel tanks got destroyed when it tipped over in the water, but otherwise: success! 3 intact main sail engines!
<flayer>
2000 dv in the orbiter to get to duna
<flayer>
i think if i put the 30 km periapsis near the coast of the KSC peninsula i'll be alright
<Althego>
2000 is too much
<Althego>
but you have a big safety margin
<flayer>
i need some dv for an accurate landing on duna
<Althego>
with 2000 you can go to jool
<flayer>
because i'm not bringing a refueling station
<flayer>
instead i will have to land at (yet to be built) base
<Althego>
almost zero fuel needed with aerobraking
<flayer>
yeah, but its hard to land accurately coming in from kerbin
<flayer>
i need to refuel on snacks, oxidizer, and liquid fuel
<flayer>
and land with too few parachutes XD
<Althego>
you just need a high altitude deploying high speed parachute
<Althego>
and a little bit of fuel
<flayer>
maybe you need that for a pinpoint accurate landing
<flayer>
i need much more lol
<Althego>
normal chutes dont help you much anyway
<flayer>
i mostly put them on for emergency landing on kerbin
<flayer>
i also added a heatshield for that reason
<Althego>
reasonable
<flayer>
but i think this will work well
<flayer>
can't wait to unlock this ship in my career mode
<flayer>
'starship borealis' lol
<Mat2ch>
SnoopJ: yeah, but that still fits into my theory :D
* SnoopJ
hasn't understood that theory
<SnoopJ>
upshot: magnetism is basically free if you assume Coulomb's law and the Lorentz transformation :) (Veritasium showed this construction in one of his videos)
<Althego>
but those are all classical
<Althego>
wasnt there some experiment about the muon anomalous magnetic moment?
<raptop>
Yeah, though that gets into stuff with the weak (and maybe strong?) nuclear force
<Mat2ch>
SnoopJ: think about the quantum vacuum as a fluid and magnets as turbines.
<Mat2ch>
just as a bad comparison. There are differences.
<SnoopJ>
Althego, the Lorentz transformation is not classical
<SnoopJ>
at least not in the context of SR
<SnoopJ>
(the classical analogue is the Galilean transform)
<raptop>
E&M is confusing because sometimes SR just sort of happens, but Maxwell's egguations are understood to be classical
<Althego>
nnot quantum
<Althego>
i meant that by classical
<raptop>
ah
<SnoopJ>
Althego, re: muon moment: yes, FNAL's g-2 just did their first release in the last ~2 months (tl;dr - yep, still lookin' weird!)
<Althego>
i had an sb16 compatible as temporary for a few weeks. it was horror

<raptop>
Speaking of games with good music
<kubi>
oooh, that gravis max
<kubi>
very good card with wave table instead of FM synthesizers
<kubi>
we needed to hack the interrupt pin on a card as there was a collision
<kubi>
good times when you could actually modify a PC
<Althego>
hehe
<Althego>
at least in the jumper era what you set was the law
<Althego>
i got the gus pnp after a normal (not max), and that didnt have jumpers just some software to set the values. and windows from time to time owerwore them
