egg changed the topic of #principia to: Logs: https://esper.irclog.whitequark.org/principia | <scott_manley> anyone that doubts the wisdom of retrograde bop needs to get the hell out | https://xkcd.com/323/ | <egg> calculating the influence of lamont on Pluto is a bit silly…
<queqiao-> ⟨(​ᴇxᴘᴇʀɪᴍᴇɴᴛᴀʟshells)⟩ although I would discourage such a close approach even at a relatively low velocity of 10 m/s
<queqiao-> ⟨R​urouniDonut⟩ I thought this was the offtopic chat? /s
<queqiao-> ⟨K​itty OwO⟩ :P
<queqiao-> ⟨K​itty OwO⟩ > <@queqiao:matrix.org> ⟨e​gg⟩ or cats
<queqiao-> ⟨K​itty OwO⟩
<queqiao-> ⟨K​itty OwO⟩ Cats are nice, but, the real question is the closest you could get a baseball to orbit a cat with stability

<queqiao-> ⟨P​aculino (ŝi/ri/she/they)⟩ Are either of them electrostatically charged?
<raptop> How are we going to get the cat to hold still for long enough, and won't the high air density mess with things?
<queqiao-> ⟨K​itty OwO⟩ I am affraid the solution to the second problem may also solve the first.
<queqiao-> ⟨P​aculino (ŝi/ri/she/they)⟩ Are you the cat who volunteers?
<queqiao-> ⟨P​aculino (ŝi/ri/she/they)⟩ Now we only need a volunteer baseball
<queqiao-> ⟨K​itty OwO⟩ << >< only if your the volunteer baseball ig
<queqiao-> ⟨K​itty OwO⟩ lol
<queqiao-> ⟨P​aculino (ŝi/ri/she/they)⟩ In that instance, I doubt either one of us would approximate the barycenter
<raptop> Yeah, the highly non-spherical nature of cats presents a problem (prob-mlem?)
<queqiao-> ⟨K​itty OwO⟩ Yes, and that is where the question comes in
<queqiao-> ⟨K​itty OwO⟩ how far away does the baseball have to be to never risk being thrown away or crashing into the cat?
<raptop> hrm
<raptop> Probably surprisingly close if you can find a frozen orbit
<queqiao-> ⟨K​itty OwO⟩ also curious how long (in decimal time, the superior time format for earth-humans) each orbit would take
<raptop> Assuming an orbit around a sphere where semi-major axis is about the same as the radius, the period is \sqrt{\frac{3}{G \cdot ρ}}
<raptop> In practice the cat will force a longer orbit
<raptop> Incidentally, that scaling means that unless your cats are unusually dense, a period on the order of a few hours is the minimum
<queqiao-> ⟨S​ir Mortimer⟩ I never even installed RO (computer can't handle it) and got looked at suspiciously only once, so I guess it's ok 🙂
<queqiao-> ⟨Z​ombieZilla⟩ The twos type of orbit

<queqiao-> ⟨§​κyℓαr ♀⟩ unironically I had a showerthought of what if there was an orbital simulator displaying higher dimensions by use of color and volumetrics, and that slightly looks like the showerthought lol

<queqiao-> ⟨S​tandecco⟩ invaders, tell us about the 2 additional vibrational modes of one dimensional strings
<queqiao-> ⟨S​tandecco⟩ we need 12-dimensional invaders to properly answer some questions
