- Everyone's enthralled by ChatGPT. 172.69.22.35 04:01, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
It's also notable that something weighting 12 solar masses will collapse into black hole on it's own, unless it resist collapse through thermal pressure like stars. -- Hkmaly (talk) 21:26, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
The Earth moves relative to the sun at 66,000 MPH. In what frame of reference is it 65 MPH? It isn't like Randall to get a number wrong. Maybe the magnitude of the distance from Earth to Sun changes at a closer rate, but even this is nearly 180 MPH if I'm calculating correctly. Mannerisky (talk) 21:37, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
- You're thinking orbital speed, she's talking orbital oscillation. That is, the speed at which the distance between earth and sun changes. 198.41.242.240 21:51, 5 December 2022 (UTC) ADDITION: Orbital oscillation has both a mean/average factor and a current factor (which is at it slowest while at the apsides, and given the context the one being calculated) 198.41.242.85 22:46, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
I get the sense that the thing that they're planning for January 1st is a precisely-timed new year's party and nothing to do with space exploration. -- 172.71.242.156 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
- Obligatory ChatGPT explanation
- Me: The following is a transcript from the latest xkcd comic. Please write an explanation of the comic: [transcript copied verbatim from its current state omitted]
- ChatGPT: In the xkcd comic, Ponytail and Cueball are discussing Earth's orbit around the sun. Ponytail notes that Earth will be approaching the sun at a rate of 65 miles per hour on January 1st. Cueball responds, "Weird?" Ponytail explains that they usually see only complex and incomprehensible numbers in astronomy, and seeing a "normal" number like 65 miles per hour feels wrong to them. This reflects the common perception that numbers in the sciences, especially astronomy, are often complex and difficult to understand. Earlier in the comic, Ponytail also expresses skepticism at a "normal" number when Megan in coat tells them that their cat weighs 12 lbs. Ponytail suggests that it must actually weigh either 10-20 or 1040 instead. Megan responds by saying that the cat's weight is actually 3x10-30 solar masses, which Ponytail finds more acceptable.
Meh. I wish superscipts would survive copy-paste. 172.71.154.39 03:55, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
