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…

⟨Bee Rights Activist⟩ * dam, let's say the magpie bridge is built on top of a dam that stops wind or something

⟨egg⟩ It would also fall down without any […] ⮪ Looked at the available memory graph for the VM that hosts 鹊桥IRC, the vertical line is when Butcher posted cats.

⟨egg⟩ Since the distance between these centres is not fixed, the reference frame pulsates, that is, things of constant physical size periodically grow and shrink in the rotating-pulsating frame.
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ The reasonable thing is probably to express the speed in current metres per second; it could be expressed in constant lunar distances per month or something like that, but that would be very hard to work with; and the Δv you apply is in current metres, not in constant metres.

⟨egg⟩ Principia: now with inflation
<raptop>
...does that mean that other fancy physics will be included, so the orbits of Mercury and GPS satellites will finally be correct?
<raptop>
>_>
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ Adding this reference frame did require us to think a little bit about covariance and contravariance, but we have mostly skirted the problems in a somewhat hacky way; so we are not actually ready to tackle that.

⟨kingparity⟩ principia now with inflation is funny lol

⟨Bee Rights Activist⟩ this rotating pulsating frame sounds like a lot of work (and give me a few years to learn more math so I can maybe understand the physics) but I hear it is the only way to fix the locations of lagrange points at, well, points. variable mass sounds like a pain
