> Only in school exercises you can solve a differential equation by expanding a sine function into a Taylor series.

> In practical physics computations, the solution of differential equations requires numerical methods that do not use the Taylor series of specific functions, even if the theory used for developing the algorithms may use the Taylor series development of arbitrary functions.

I'm sorry, but you have no idea what you're talking about. Series expansions is one of the most widely used techniques in Physics. Obviously some equations require full blown numerical methods to be solved, but one can do a whole lot with analytical techniques by doing series expansions and using perturbation theory.

Saying that this is only used "in school exercises" shows that you're completely out of touch with reality.

> there are no important applications for those series.

Excuse me? Have you done any computation in Physics? Have a look at the pendulum equation, for a start...

The Broken Sword series is a must. I also enjoyed the Myst series a great deal, but it's a very different style.

> Restrictions are all but gone at least in Europe and society is still functional. And it would have been sans restrictions too

Society was functional during the Spanish flu as well; that's really not the point. The point of the restrictions was reducing the overall number of deaths.

That's a very ridiculous thing to say.

This guy is a known crackpot. He's not a serious researcher and has no published papers in astrophysics. File under "horseshit".

The electromagnetic equations are linear, whereas the fluid dynamic ones are non-linear. This difference is crucial for this phenomenon.

Musk was born in South Africa, he's not eligible to run for US president.

Tell that to the authors of the dozens of papers that showed up on the arxiv "explaining" the result.

Angola was a colonial possession back when Portugal was a dictatorship. Obviously, the people that were in power back then were not very nice. Once the old regime was overthrown, one of the first things that was done was ending the colonial wars. Still, I'm not sure how this is relevant right now?

The point here is that the Portuguese government (the current one, not the one in power during the dictatorship which ended over 40 years ago, and which you seem to be confused about) has done a good thing, and for that they deserve praise.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say... Is Angola under invasion right now?
