![]() In particular, it does not tell us why the variables can be disentangled and the laws can be found (or created) in the first place. Nonetheless, the Berry/McNeill explanation avoids the question Wigner was addressing and asks instead the question of how we proceed to find and form laws (an amazing process in itself). And no doubt that is part of the reason that math and nature correspond we search for (or create) measures that have the necessary attributes. Here's what I now believe is the resolution of the Wigner question: The marvel of science is not that mathematics describes it, but that the human creature has been able to recognize that it is possible to make constructs related to observables for which precise, quantitative relations can be stated."Ĭertainly it is true that we abstract from nature by a process that is often not easily accomplished and that is certainly not well understood observables that quantify nicely. At the time, I did not have the wit to recognize how close he was not quite to the point, but near it. Stephen Berry of the University of Chicago, wrote, in an email, that "Bill McNeill, the historian, told me he'd intended to go into physics until he encountered thermodynamics, where, he decided, he came to understand physical science as a field in which everything worked out because you defined the variables so that they would make things come out. It still begs the question of why many (if not all) phenomena are lawful and why there is a mathematical treatment of randomness. However, this argument demonstrates only that if a physical process can be represented as a pair of variables, then there will be a mathematical relationship between them. Therefore nothing escapes the scope of mathematics. Another proposed explanation is this: Given an independent and a dependent pair of physical variables, their relationship can be either (1) random, in which case we can use the mathematics of statistics to describe it, or (2) lawful or possibly a mixture of the two. But this does not explain why physical phenomena can be represented mathematically in the first place. It may require a considerable amount of effort to determine which math to use where and, as with Newton and some of his contributions to the development of the calculus, the mathematics may be invented to meet the needs of science at the moment. But considering, in retrospect, that understanding of the physical world in terms of mathematics is a human trait, and that humans are biological creatures, I should not have been surprised that, once again, biology, and indeed one of the most powerful theories of biology, evolution, should provide a measure of understanding.ĭiscovering the fit of mathematics to the physical world is not typically an easy task. The present question, the fit of "our" mathematics to the external world has generally been approached as a question of philosophy and the nature of the physical world. ![]() Plausible hypotheses arose not from cognitive psychology, as I had expected, but from the biology of evolution. ![]() While working on my book, The Humane Interface, I found it necessary to try to understand why we had certain mental abilities and not others. Albert Einstein put the problem this way in his Sidelights on Relativity, "How is it possible that mathematics, a product of human thought that is independent of experience, fits so excellently the objects of physical reality?" Why should one physical parameter be a mathematical function of some others? This is the philosophical problem that Nobel physicist Eugene Wigner called "the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in the natural science" in his 1960 paper of that name in Communications of Pure and Applied Mathematics. For example, group theory proved to be eminently useful in crystallography and in understanding the organization of elementary particles. Even quite abstract mathematical constructs - which were created without any reference to physics or the physical world - turn out later (sometimes much later) to be excellent representations of newly-discovered experimental data. In physics we often describe phenomena in terms of mathematical relationships between quantities that represent observable attributes of the natural world: Double the tension on a spring and the amount it extends doubles the intensity of light from a point source changes precisely in inverse proportion to the square of the distance from the source.

![]() ![]() If your parents took care of you but they were kind of emotional fuck ups, then you’ll have Levels 1 and 2 down pat but be totally on your own for Level 3. If you’re lucky, your parents will have successfully guided you through Levels 1-3 and even give you a nice boost in achieving Level 4. Most of us get a nice head start due to our parents. Level 5 just means making sure your life mattered when you’re dead. Level 4 means building up some skill or knowledge or ability that adds value to the world around you and also makes you feel like kind of a badass in the process. Navigating to the ones who don’t is a whole tricky matter that I’ll get to in a bit. Mainly because, as you’ve likely found out by now, most people suck. This sounds way easier and more fun than it is. Level 3 means relationships, finding the right people to love and the right people who love you. Getting past Level 2 requires finding a way to successfully remove yourself from these dangerous situations. Level 2 requires that you find a secure and stable home to base yourself out of. Level 2 gets a bit more complicated, because a lot of people do have a nice bed to sleep in every night, but they can’t sleep because of gunshots outside or bombs exploding over their city, or maybe Dad’s a drunk and keeps trying to set the house on fire. Chances are, if you’re stuck on Level 1, you aren’t even reading this right now. This is a prerequisite for just about everything else. Level 1 just means you’re not homeless and/or starving. Level 4 – Do something that’s important and valuable to both yourself and others.Level 1 – Find food find a bed to sleep in at night.At the end of the game, the person at the highest level gets to have the best funeral. The goal is to complete as many levels as possible. Once you overcome that challenge, you get to move on to the next Level. Each Level in life presents a particular challenge that you must overcome.

She also fires a primary fire rifle, however, her secondary is a hit-scan laser instead of a rocket launcher. She’s a very similar hero to Soldier: 76, therefore easy to learn but hard to master. Sojourn Sojourn was added as the first new Overwatch 2 hero. Lastly, her ultimate is a brutal charge that goes through enemies and leave over time damage on all of them.

Need help evaluating your symptoms and deciding whether to visit a doctor? Here’s a guide to help you out. But some cases of hematuria could be a sign that you need to seek out medical treatment-and in rare cases, blood in the urine after running or working out could be an early sign of a much more serious health concern. Most of the time, blood urine is an acute event that goes away on its own. Fortunately, most cases of blood urine after a workout-known as exercise-induced hematuria-are relatively minor, and can be connected to specific causes resulting from, or related to, your exercise. If you’ve ever finished an intense workout only to discover blood in your urine when you go to the bathroom, you’ve likely been alarmed by the potential health complications suggested by this development.

Just use your eyes when it comes to detail.In Halo Reach multiplayer consists of split screen or single player games. Playing with objects to see how they link with other objects, especially when it comes to textures etc. The best tip is just play around with connecting objects first before you start making your map. (Same as above, remember the settings and its easier to add them to the next object) Since many of the building blocks are 90o or 45o, it is handy to set snap to 45o so you can get neat corners and edges. Yeah, it would be handy if Bungie added that shape without rails.Īltering the Pitch, Roll etc tends to only work if you have the Snap settings to less that 90o. Comes in handy if you're trying to make symmetrical maps or maps with various gradients.Īs for the bridges, I find it handy to just flip them upside-down and it gets rid of the rails around. Also, if you check the settings for the previous object, you can just enter them in for the next object. You will need to rotate around and check, since the actually snap is very strict. It will snap neatly to the previous object. ![]() Placing an object, then Edit Coordinates will snap it correctly, then the next object you have to place as close as possible by eye and then Edit again.

Also what does the snap to coordinate function even do? I tried altering the degrees on an object and nothing happened. I realised after a couple of minutes that you can "edit coordinates" to level each of the blocks out, however it still takes ages to place enough blocks for even a small floor type area. I started trying to lay 5x5 blocks down to just make a flat surface and it takes forever. ![]() The first thing I noticed about Reach Forge however is it's still an absolute pain to use.

Even then, the player may not get it because it is such a rare item. Royal Jelly maybe be obtained if the usual yellow circle displayed on the top of the screen begins flashing red. It can be obtained sometimes by getting every bit of honey out of all three beehives in the Walnut Woods area. Gold Rush Tokens: Can be collected and placed in coin dispensers so that the player can get Gopher Bucks for the Gopher Underground Shop.Recipes can be guessed but require a lot of resources to do so as there are many recipes and ingredients. Recipe Rocks: Provide recipes for the Kitchen at the back of the barn and the Mocktail bar (only available at night).Secrets: Notes hidden in trees and fences with tips for the game.Within the game there are many forms of objects to collect: The player may then make additional purchases and do missions for the owner of the Gopher Underground Shop. After this mission, all the other objects become unlocked except for the Neon Dance Floor. ![]() Upon reaching this point in the game, the player receives just enough Gopher Bucks for the only item available during the first visit. The barn is very customisable through the Gopher Underground Shop, a shop mentioned in an early Chapter 1 mission that is located just outside the main area. After the player receives this text and enters the Night Barn, a special cutscene plays.ĭuring the day, the barn is a boring place where the player could acquire some resources for cooking, but at night, the barn becomes a lively place where the player could party, make Mocktails and play minigames. Once the player reaches #1, a special text is received, indicating that the player is now the Barnyard Champion. While climbing to the top of the leaderboard, the player receives a Gold Rush Token for every move up. The player needs to talk to a character mentioned in the game that provides information on the standings for Barnyard Champion. Getting Stars is the key to getting Barnyard Champion. At the end of all the mini-games the player's performance is graded (Final Score). During gameplay, the player is eventually informed of the 'Barnyard Champion' title throughout. The player could also buy some of the mini-games from the Gopher Underground Shop as some of them are located in the Night Barn. One example being 'Tease The Mailman' and 'Tease Mrs. There are also variations of mini-games from previous chapters. Throughout the game, the player may notice that the difficulty of some of the mini-games increases as the story progresses. ![]() Missions include golf, or jumping and kicking a pipe at other characters to stay alive. Mini-games most often become available after completing missions, but may also become available in the barn. Most of the in-game missions are done during the day and must be done by the time the timer runs out, but some of them are nighttime missions that need to be completed by morning (or before the timer runs out). Missions can be started by simply talking to the located characters. A lot of missions once completed become minigames which the player can play again. Missions fit the storyline of the game and the movie and vary a lot. Characters die and are introduced as the game progresses as in the movie. Within the game there is a storyline which fits the movie to some extent but still goes along its own path. Note that the number of missions available depends on the chapter being played. However, the tides suddenly turn as the player, the other animals, and Otis take one final stand against the final boss. As players reach the end of the game, specifically Chapter 8, things only get worse as the leader of the Barnyard, Otis, runs off and players are put in charge. As players reach the mid-part of the game, however, they lose the same playable character, Ben, that is lost in the movie. There are many references to the Barnyard as well, including dialogue from the characters and certain in-game objects. As players continue through the chapters, the game increases in variety. Players may find these characters by looking for, and following the quickest path to, the '!' on the map. Players travel around the Barnyard and either explore the area(s) the game has to offer or follow the story and complete the missions by going to the barn animal that sent a text to players' phones. ![]() As players progress through the chapters in the game, they meet new characters, unlock new areas, get more in-game currency, etc. An extra farm animal maybe be unlocked from having Nickelodeon games at the time that were included in the 'Crossover' event.

When we move the collective up and down, the pitch of the main rotor blades changes, thus changing the AOI. We also have an AOI for our tail rotor blades. This angle is often called the blade pitch angle, so don’t be confused. In the case of our helicopter, the major AOI is the angle between the pitch of the main rotor blades and the mast. ![]() The angle of incidence (AOI) measures the angle between the chord line of an airfoil and the point to which it is fixed. Let’s throw a hook and knock this post out. Both measure an angle of an airfoil but in separate ways. Angle of attack and angle of incidence are two aerodynamic factors that don’t really work against each other. The truth is, this is a pretty poor analogy and I apologize. ![]() For these reasons, I’ll put my money on Angle of Attack. Furthermore, people are far more likely to recognize Angle of Attack due to the fact that Angle of Incidence had an identity crisis at a young age and sometimes goes by “Blade Pitch Angle.” It became confusing and only true luchador followers know that Angle of Incidence and Blade Pitch Angle are one and the same. While adaptable, Angle of Incidence is too easy to read and manipulate. Surely, Angle of Attack would be much more dynamic, quick, and difficult to calculate. If I had to put money down on a backyard dirt-pit fight between luchadores named Angle of Incidence and Angle of Attack, I would choose the latter every time. ![]() ![]() ![]() This version also features a new "Very Easy" difficulty, revised tutorials, a togglable in-game mini-map, a new "PRO" control style, and an updated ZORADIUS mini-game. This version of Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner is based off the HD remastered version of the game on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, which in turn was based off the Special Edition version on PlayStation 2, the featuring support for HD resolutions up to 4K, higher resolution textures, remastered visual effects, 5.1 surround sound presentation, and the ability to play in VR. It a remastered version of Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner, which was not previously released on PC, and it is the sequel to Zone of the Enders. ![]() For such a fast-paced game like this one, I felt no motion sickness whatsoever, which is impressive for a game that doesn’t last for just an hour or two like most virtual reality releases.Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner M∀RS is a sci-fi anime robot action game developed by Kojima Productions, published by Konami, and ported by Cygames. The gameplay is fast-paced, the controls are really responsive and easy to learn with a very detailed tutorial to help you out, the lock-on mechanics are extremely useful, and the camera controls are well behaved. ![]() No Move controller or PS Aim needed, just strap in your visor, grab a Dualshock, sit back and enjoy what’s basically a first-person version of Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner strapped right to your face. The entire VR gameplay revolves around fighting enemy robots with your arsenal of weapons and special moves, destroying everything in sight. Besides this, the rest of the game isn’t exactly immersive as other VR games, and it actually works fine. Sure, you have a brand new view inside the Jehuty’s cockpit, everything is very detailed inside of it (unlike the rest of game’s graphics) and if you move your head upwards you’ll notice the entire mech moving when you press any command button, adding a bit of realism to the final product. Playing The 2nd Runner M∀RS in VR is a fantastic experience, and weirdly enough, it’s mostly due to the game’s limited focus on full VR immersion. The way cutscenes are presented in VR is disappointing to say the least. Thankfully, while the presentation is pretty weak, playing the game itself is the complete opposite. They’re basically presented in a small flat screen right in front of you, as if you were playing a non-VR game through your visor. The cutscenes were the most disappointing aspect of the presentation, as they’re not in VR in any way. Sure, the game runs at a buttery smooth framerate at all times, and the designs of all Orbital Frames (this game’s mechs) are gorgeous, but this still looks like an early PS2 game being shoved straight into your retina. The PSVR isn’t known for displaying high quality images and high graphical fidelity, so imagine being presented with what’s essentially PS2-era graphics throughout your entire experience. ![]() In terms of presentation, this is one of the less exciting VR games I’ve played in a while. My biggest gripe with the game is that it also looks exactly the same when using the PSVR headset. The gameplay is basically the same, the soundtrack is as good as ever and the voice acting is still as bad as ever. Technically speaking, you’re not entirely wrong. In a way, you may say that M∀RS ain’t nothing more than just a remaster of the second Zone of the Enders game. Pretending to be inside a mecha will never be boring. ![]() |
