− | In this comic, [[Ponytail]] | + | In this comic, [[Ponytail]] says that the Sun's atmosphere is a super hot {{w|Plasma (physics)|plasma}} controlled by "{{w|magnetohydrodynamics}}", the study of magnetic properties of electrically conducting fluids. This is true, as the Sun's atmosphere is controlled by the magnetic forces following laws of electrodynamics and also by properties of fluids, which follow laws of hydrodynamics. This subject is probably too difficult for [[Cueball]] and he mentally replaces it with "magic" and says, "Ah yes, of course." |
− | + | The subject of magnetohydrodynamics is extremely difficult as {{w|Maxwell's equations}} are quite difficult to understand intuitively, and the {{w|Navier–Stokes equations}} are notoriously difficult to solve. (The {{w|Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness|solutions of Navier–Stokes equations}} are on the {{w|Millennium Prize Problems|Millennium Problems list}}) . The title text sarcastically makes fun of this and says that its too boring for physicists so they add "{{w|Quantum mechanics|Q=quantum}}" or "{{w|Theory of relativity|relativistic}}" to it to make it further more difficult. | |
